Social networking sites may facilitate the spread of sexually transmitted disease, but these sites also serve as effective education and prevention tools. So has social media helped or hurt the HIV community? According to Simon Rosser, director of the HIV/STI Intervention and Prevention Studies (HIPS) Program at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, that’s the wrong question to ask. “Something as complex as new technology and media, it’s like asking the question, ‘Is the Internet good or bad?’ It’s just too simplistic a question when framed that way,” says Rosser. On the other hand, “asking what are the effects of the Internet, how is it changing society, and what are the benefits and risks inherent in it is very, very helpful, even critical.”
In this book, Katherine Smith offers an insightful analysis of evidence-based policy, providing an interesting typology with which to deepen our exploration of the relationship between research and policy. Lee Gregory finds it a rare book which captures the reader, inviting self-reflection upon how one can engage with research either as an academic, an advocate, or policymaker, and their own research.
Beyond Evidence-Based Policy in Public Health: The Interplay of Ideas. Katherine Smith. Palgrave Macmillan. October 2013.
Find this book: The advocacy of evidence-based policy (EBP) has grown in prominence for more than a decade, whilst attention to health inequalities in the UK has intensified somewhat since the publication of The Spirit Level. In this book Katherine Smith explores the relationship between the two, not only providing an interesting exploration of the role of EBP within public health, but also insight in the plight of the contemporary academic in a world of research impact.

Si chiama Lives on the line ed è una mappa delle linee della metropolitana che racconta Londra con due statistiche fondamentali:l’aspettativa di vita e la povertà infantile (l’indice IDACI – Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index). Confrontando i due indici si ha un quadro di come, senza i margini per una aspirazione all’ascesa sociale, le sorti dei bambini che vivono nelle zone più povere di Londra potrebbero essere già segnate.

13 gennaio 2015 - Il VII corso “Girolamo Mercuriale”, organizzato dalla Regione Emilia-Romagna per i prossimi 19 e 20 febbraio a Bologna, cade proprio nel periodo in cui le Regioni stanno elaborando i Piani della prevenzione 2015-2018. È questo uno dei motivi per cui le sessioni della manifestazione sono dedicate alle differenti età della vita, in modo tale da approfondire – per ogni fase – i bisogni di salute, le patologie emergenti, i setting più importanti e le migliori strategie per raggiungere quella specifca popolazione target.

Le nostre parole d’ordine sono: libertà, consapevolezza, salute, benessere, sobrietà, amicizia e condivisione! Siamo un gruppo di ragazzi che hanno deciso di impegnarsi in prima linea per migliorare il proprio futuro!
Abbiamo piccole esperienze maturate in questo campo attraverso l'AICAT (Associazione Italiana dei Club Alcologici Territoriali) e vogliamo costruire una rete su scala nazionale che ci permetta di dialogare con i nostri coetanei sui temi della salute, quindi dell’adozione si stili di vita sani, sulle abitudini erroneamente ritenute non pericolose e sulla capacità di migliorare il nostro benessere, attraverso scelte consapevoli. Una rete che possa anche favorire lo scambio di esperienze già maturate nel campo della peer education a livello territoriale e che possa favorire alla costruzione di una rete giovanile tra le associazioni che si occupano di queste tematiche.
Distortion of the evidence based brandThe first problem is that the evidence based “quality mark” has been misappropriated and distorted by vested interests. In particular, the drug and medical devices industries increasingly set the research agenda. They define what counts as disease (for example, female sexual arousal disorder, treatable with sildenafil16 and male baldness, treatable with finasteride17) and predisease “risk states” (such as low bone density, treatable with alendronate).18 They also decide which tests and treatments will be compared in empirical studies and choose (often surrogate) outcome measures for establishing “efficacy.”19Furthermore, by overpowering trials to ensure that small differences will be statistically significant, setting inclusion criteria to select those most likely to respond to treatment, manipulating the dose of both intervention and control drugs, using surrogate endpoints, and selectively publishing positive studies, industry may manage to publish its outputs as “unbiased” studies in leading peer reviewed journals.20

On fait remonter les fondements de la médecine à Hippocrate. Selon notre vision européenne ou occidentale, il en est le père légitime. C’est oublier un peu vite les autres médecines : la tradition chinoise, la médecine arabe, et le monde des chamanes. Et c’est oublier aussi vite que l’informatique a bouleversé nos existences. Comme le fit Gutenberg en son temps. Un grand écart que la médecine 3.0 peut combler.
