Applied Health Research. Anthropology of Health Care
€ 28,00
There is increasing recognition that socio-economic and cultural factors are prime determinants of health and health care. What factors contribute to the acceptance of community health financing or a vaccination program? What are the needs of the growing group of elderly people or psychatric patients? What social and cultural factors should be taken into account to operationalize all ambitious plans to improve reproductive health care? These are only some of the questions health professionals and health planners are confronted with.
Anthropological research can be a tremendous support to health programmes, by giving insights in the perspective of recipients and providers of health programmes and health care, and also by providing managers and implementors of these programmes with mechanisms and strategies that could lead to a reorientation of health care programmes and policies towards the actual needs of the target group.
The need for training in anthropology of health and health care has been expressed by social scientists involved in multi-disciplinary health research projects, and public health staff at different levels, who are involved in providing health education and primary health care and who - in implementing the health programmes - are confronted with difficulties related to the socio-cultural context in which they work.
It is for this reason that the International Course in Anthropology of Health and Health Care has been developed. This course has been designed for research officers of public health institutes, coordinators of community health care programmes, project staff, responsible for the implementation of various health programmes, public health professionals, social science lecturers at universities, and junior social scientists, who intend to specialize in Anthropology of Health and Health Care.
The course takes a multi-disciplinary approach and focuses on a number of important problem areas and issues, such as vaccination, reproductive health and AIDS, equity and community health financing, self-care and the use and distribution of pharmaceuticals.
The manual in its earlier editions has been used since years for teaching in the field of applied medical anthropology and public health in academic institutions worldwide.

Marine Insurance in the Netherlands 1600-1870. A comparative institutional approach
€ 39,90
Marine insurance has been of great importance to the expansion of long distance trade and economic growth in the early modern period, in particular for seafaring nations such as the Dutch Republic. The Amsterdam market became Europe's leading insurance market and within the Republic other insurance systems also emerged. Little is known about the differing institutional frameworks governing these industries and the interaction between the institutions and the actors in the industry. This study will examine the development of marine insurance in the Netherlands in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and the province of Groningen from c. 1600 to 1870 from an institutional point of view. It will examine how the behaviour of authorities, insurers, underwriters and brokers was affected by the formal and informal constraints of the industry and how in turn their conduct has influenced the institutional framework and induced institutional change. A comparative institutional analysis will be made of three insurance systems in the Netherlands, each with its own distinctive characteristics. The interaction between institutions and actors will be studied in relation to the effects of technological innovations and international geo-political changes. By examining developments over a period of two and half centuries the path of long-term institutional change becomes discernable.

De straat aan de jeugd. Een ontwikkelingsgericht onderzoek naar drie jaar ‘Thuis Op Straat’.
€ 18,00
‘Thuis Op Straat’ (TOS) is de naam van een nieuwe manier van werken, gericht op kinderen en jongeren, om de leefbaarheid van buurten en wijken te vergroten door het scheppen van een duidelijk, gemoedelijk, fatsoenlijk en veilig klimaat op pleinen en straten, het hele jaar door, zeven dagen in de week. Met tevens de bedoeling dat er meer meisjes en meer jonge kinderen van de buitenruimte gebruikmaken. Dit gebeurt onder leiding van een professionele TOS-baas, samen met TOS-medewerkers (I&D-ers en Wiw-ers).
TOS hanteert daarbij geen standaardmethode maar werkt dynamisch: kijken wat op dat plein, in die wijk nodig is en van daaruit activiteiten organiseren. Hierbij speelt verbinding en verbreding een belangrijke rol: verbinding met ouders en buurtbewoners, verbreding naar partners in hetzelfde domein. In 1996 ging het eerste project van start in Rotterdam. Spoedig volgden andere gemeenten.
Drie jaar hebben de onderzoekers van de Erasmus Universiteit, Masson, Karyotis en De Jong, TOS-projecten in Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Leiden en Gouda op verzoek van de Provincie Zuid-Holland, de betrokken gemeenten en het ministerie van VWS gevolgd. In deze evaluatie wordt uitvoerig verslag gedaan van hun bevindingen op een viertal niveaus: welke TOS-activiteiten zijn er uitgevoerd, hoe was het gesteld met het personeel en de interne organisatie, hoe was de samenwerking met en participatie van andere organisaties in de buurten, en zijn de projecten geslaagd in hun oorspronkelijke opzet. De studie wordt afgesloten met aanbevelingen voor de lopende en toekomstige TOS-projecten.
