Gender and Development $47.95 Global financial problems, rising food prices, climate change, international migration – increasingly by women – conflict situations in many poor countries, the spread of tropical diseases such as malaria and dengue fever and the increased incidence of HIV/AIDS and TB, and changing patterns of trade have all added new dimensions to gender issues in developing countries. These problems are frequently being brought to public attention in the media and through long-haul tourism. Consequently students’ interest in gender and development has grown considerably in the last few years.This revised and updated second edition provides a concise, accessible introduction to Gender and Development issues in the developing world and in the transition countries of Eastern and Central Europe. The nine chapters include discussions on: changes in theoretical approaches, gender complexities and the Millennium Development Goals; social and biological reproduction including differing attitudes to family planning by states and variation in education and access to housing; differences in health and violence at major life stages for women and men and natural disasters and gender roles in rural and urban areas. The penultimate chapter considers the impact of broad economic changes such as the globalization of trade and communications on gender differences in economic activity and the final chapter addresses international progress towards gender equality as measured by the global gender gap. The text is particularly strong on environmental aspects and the new edition builds on this to consider the effects of climate change and declining natural resources illustrated by a case study of changing gender roles in fishing in India. There is also enhanced coverage of topics such as global trade, sport as a development tool, masculinities, and sustainable agriculture. Maps, statistics, references and boxed case studies have been updated throughout and their coverage |

Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millenium $108 Where are the fields of prevention and health promotion for women headed?This valuable book illuminates the need for-and the gains that can be achieved by-targeting prevention/health promotion programs toward minority and low-income women in the communities where they live.Reflecting the rise of women’s health issues to a national priority in the last decade, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium explores the individual and contextual factors-biological, sociocultural, economic, and environmental-that affect the quality and length of women’s lives. It examines current research on disease prevention and the need for health promotion, particularly with minority and hard-to-reach women, and suggests directions for future investigation.Rather than generalizing or pontificating, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium looks up close at specific studies designed to answer questions such as: What kinds of health promotion programs could make the biggest difference in the lives of Native American women, today and tomorrow? How effective are cancer education/support programs for rural women, and what can be done to improve their efficacy? How does sexual orientation influence women’s patterns of health-related behavior? How can female substance abusers lessen the distress issues that often bring on risky behavior? How can we more effectively reach African-American women, who are twice as likely as Caucasian women to develop diabetes, hypertension, and stroke?Well referenced and complete with user-friendly tables that make the statistics of each study easy to work with, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium brings you an incisive look at issues that will become prevention priorities in the near future. |

Self-efficacy, physical activity, and aerobic fitness in middle school children: Examination of a pedometer intervention program. $49.99 The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among self-efficacy levels, physical activity, aerobic fitness, and body composition (relative body mass index; RBMI) and to determine whether a school-based pedometer intervention program would improve those variables and prevent weight gain in sixth and seventh graders in rural mid-South middle schools. Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory served as the theoretical basis for the study. Methods. A quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test design was used. The sample, recruited from two rural middle schools in Kentucky, consisted of 116 sixth and seventh grade students (98% Caucasian, 51% male, age=11.65+/-0.71). Anthropometric assessment of height, weight, body mass index (BMI), BMI percentile ranges, and RBMI were conducted. Physical activity levels were assessed using Digiwalker 200 pedometers and aerobic fitness levels were assessed using the one mile walk test. The Physical Activity Self-Efficacy scale was used to measure self-efficacy levels in participants and parental support of physical activity was assessed using the Amherst Health and Activity Survey. The intervention program consisted of students wearing a pedometer during the school day and participating in 10 minutes of physical activity beyond their usual activities at school. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and repeated measures ANOVA. Results. Aggregate baseline data revealed a mean self-efficacy score of 14.9; physical activity level of 10181.41 steps/day; aerobic fitness level (VO2max) of 49.4 ml/kg/min, BMI of 21.84, with 56.9% of students classified in the healthy weight range, 13.8% as overweight, and 29.3% as obese. Only 19% of students meet recommended physical activity levels. Weakly positive correlations between self-efficacy and physical activity (r = 0.269, p = 0.004) and self-efficacy and aerobic fitness (r = 0.236, p = 0.013) were found. A weakly correlated inverse relationship |
