National indices of maternal health have improved in Bangladesh, but no data is available from rural Mymensingh where two non-government aid agencies have been working for years. Surveys were held to inform their planning. Methods: In November 2018, aided by a research team from Western Sydney University, Australia, anthropometric, mortality and socioeconomic data was compiled from 25 sites around Haluaghat and Dhobaura, and compared with national figures. Results: Of 1982 mothers surveyed: 15.5% were ‘stunted’(<145 cm) vs 15.7% in Sylhet, and 13.3% in Dhaka, correlating with poverty, reduced education, and stunting of offspring. 13% were underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m 2 ) vs 29.8% in Sylhet and 18.2% in Dhaka. Conversely, overweight was common. Of stunted mothers 14.4% were ‘at risk’, 26.1% overweight and 4.2% obese. 29.7% consumed betel nut. Stillbirth, Perinatal, Neonatal and Child Mortality rates were very high: 89.8, 108.8, 27.45, and 61.3 respectively. 63.5% of births occurred at home with untrained assistance. 33.2% of mothers were married < 16 years, and suffered higher Neonatal and Child Mortality Rates. Conclusion: Rates of undernutrition and child mortality are very high. The dyad of stunting and obesity portends the metabolic syndrome.

The widespread use of gender-based violence, especially against women, has been identified not only as a legal, but also as a major public health problem. Especially in Asia, traditional practices reflecting local health belief models lead to a number of major has related partitions, which include gender-based violence. Not only in India, but also in Nepal such traditional practices are wide spread. In Nepal, the most common problem is the “Chaupadhi” practice of menstrual segregation that leads to the death of women every year. Methodology: in our qualitative study we used different sources including political party programs and focus interviews in the Bharatpur region of Nepal to explore the cultural and health belief models that could contribute to lead different population groups to use menstrual segregation and other forms of gender-based violence such as rape. Results we identified a number of categories [health belief systems] that we are part of gender-based identities and this forms of gender-based violence as reflected in interviews and the public discourse. Conclusions: willingness to commit or permit violence is reflected in health belief systems and identity building, and a number of recommendations will be presented that we are drawn up as a reassignment of our project to reduce gender-based violence in Nepali communities.

The study investigated consumer responses to message about hair coloring, as one of the ongoing cartographies by Mind Genomics of the world of consumer beauty. Respondents evaluated short, systematically designed combinations of messages about hair coloring (vignettes), these vignettes talking about the rationale for coloring one’s hair, the feelings about changing one’s color, beliefs about the ‘downside’ of hair coloring, and a comparison of different methods for beautifying one’s hair (e.g., coloring versus cutting), respectively. The deconstruction of the vignettes into their components suggests an underlying core of at least three emergent mind-sets (Follow the prescription of others; Coloring is a personal expression; Focus on self-care). The paper presents the PVI, personal viewpoint identifier, to assign new people to one of these three mind-sets, for subsequent use in research or sales.

In most industrialized countries, the nursing workforce, an overwhelmingly numerically female dominant profession, is aging [1]. Analysis of data suggests that this is due to interrelated social and economic factors pushing nurses towards later retirement. Nurses are choosing to remain in the workforce longer, delaying retirement for reasons that include economic and financial necessity, continued desire to care for others and meet professional goals [2], and positive life-span development that is attributable to increased life expectancy and longevity [1–2]. Apart from intrinsic motivators, there is also a growing drive to increase the labour market participation of older individuals in response to shifting population structures secondary to population aging [2, 3–5]. In occupations such as nursing where skills shortages are already being experienced, population aging threatens to deepen this existing problem [6].

In the United States, smoking is the largest preventable risk factor for pregnancy-related mortality and morbidity [1, 2]. While evidencebased, pregnancy specific, smoking cessation interventions increase the rate of quitting, half of those who quit will resume smoking within a few weeks of delivery and 90% will be smoking within 12 months [3, 4]. The unique pregnancy specific factors motivating women to abstain from cigarettes while pregnant are time limited and diminish after giving birth [5]. Assisting women to remain tobacco free after childbirth is a high priority in healthcare [6]. Quitting long term improves life expectancy, reduces health risks in future pregnancies, and protects children from second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure.

We present an approach to understanding how to create a consulting business for a personal service, in this case hair beauty. The approach uses experimentation, in the form of systematically varied ideas (Mind Genomics.) The strategyis to expose respondents to combinations of services, identify which particular ideas in the combination ‘drive’ positive reactions, and then focus on those ideas in communication. Rather than asking respondents, Mind Genomics works with combinations, presented rapidly, forcing the response to be intuitive, rather than considered. Mind Genomics reveals new-to-the-world groups of consumers, mind-sets, who respond to different messages in communications, and identifies individuals with these mind-sets through a PVI, personal viewpoint identifier.
