Young people are particularly vulnerable to HIV: 15 24 year olds account for 50% of new cases. Five to six thousand youths become infected every day, most of them in developing countries. The UN General Assembly Special Session on AIDS in June 2001 set a number of goals to drive efforts to reduce prevalence in this age group.

This report provides evidence-based recommendations for policy-makers, program managers and researchers to guide efforts towards meeting the UN goals on HIV/AIDS and young people. These goals aim to decrease prevalence and vulnerability; and to increase access to information, skills and services.

This report provides a systematic review the effectiveness of interventions provided: through schools, health services, mass media, communities, and to young people who are most vulnerable to HIV infection. ... Read more

Il se concentre plus particulièrement sur l’expérience mise en place par une organisation confessionnelle, IMCARES, basée à Mumbai en Inde, laquelle consiste à veiller sur un personnel et sur des bénévoles associés à ses programmes et intervenant en tant que dispensateurs de soins au sein de la communauté.

Product Description
L’OMS publie sous le titre Rapport de l’OMS sur l’épidémie de tabagisme, 2008 une première analyse exhaustive de la consommation de tabac et de la lutte antitabac dans le monde. Le rapport confirme que l’épidémie mondiale de tabagisme est l’une des plus grandes menaces des temps modernes pour la santé publique : si l’on ne fait rien, le nombre de morts pourrait atteindre 1 milliard au cours du XXIe siècle.

L’épidémie se déplace vers le monde en développement, où se produiront 80% des décès liés au tabagisme d’ici
quelques dizaines d’années. Ce mouvement est dû à la stratégie de l’industrie du tabac, qui vise les jeunes et les
adultes des pays en développement. Le rapport conclut que, malgré les progrès accomplis ces dernières années, presque tous les pays doivent faire davantage d’efforts. Actuellement, seulement 5% de la population mondiale est entièrement couverte par l’une quelconque des interventions essentielles qui ont notablement réduit la consommation de tabac dans les pays où elles ont été appliquées.

Pour combattre efficacement l’épidémie, le Rapport de l’OMS sur l’épidémie mondiale de tabagisme, 2008 préconise six stratégies essentielles éprouvées – le programme MPOWER – qui offrent les meilleures chances de sauver des millions de vies. ... Read more
