“…Exploring the factors affecting abortion is crucial to understand fertility variations, and to achieve better health and fertility outcomes. Also, identifying the level of inequalities and the factors associated with them is critical for tackling the inequalities, which are a serious challenge to improving population health (Whitehead & Dahlgren, 1991), as well as being unfair and unjust (Whitehead & Dahlgren, 1991;Gwatkin, 2002;Woodward & Kawachi, 2000;Marmot, 2005Marmot, , 2010. The two waves of the TDHS, in 2003 and 2008, were employed in the analyses, and the determinants of induced abortion in the two periods revealed.…”

Summary. This study aimed to identify the levels of, and socioeconomic variations in, income-related inequality in induced abortion among Turkish women. The study included 15,480 ever-married women of reproductive age Higher socioeconomic characteristics (such as higher levels of wealth and education and better neighbourhood) were found to be associated with higher rates of abortion. Inequality analyses indicated that although deprived women become more familiar with abortion over time, abortion was still more concentrated among affluent women in the 2008 survey. The decomposition analyses suggested that wealth, age, education and level of regional development were the most important contributors to income-related inequality in abortion. Therefore policies that (i) increase the level of wealth and education of deprived women, (ii) develop deprived regions of Turkey, (iii) improve knowledge about family planning and, especially (iv) enhance the accessibility of family planning services for deprived and/or rural women, may be beneficial for reducing socioeconomic variations in abortion in the country.

“…Environmental health now encompasses a range of aspects of human health and disease, including quality of life, that are determined by physical, chemical, biological, social, and psychological factors in the environment (WHO Europe, 1989). It also refers to the theory and practice of assessing and controlling factors in the environment that can potentially affect health as shown in the model of health determinates by Whitehead and Dahlgren (1991) and further developed by Barton and Grant (2006) including the natural and built environment as well as the global ecosystem into a 'health map' for the local human habitat:…”

The application of impact assessment is increasingly important for development of sustainable projects and policies. Substantial progress has been made on how to meaningfully include health in strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and other forms of impact assessment. However, in the light of the evolving policy context in Europe further promotion of the consideration of health effects and support with all sectors of civil society, including the health sector is required. In line with this, the Budapest Declaration on Environment and Health, 2004, calls for taking "significant health effects into account in the assessment of strategic proposals". Hence WHO is working to assist its Member States with their respective ministries of health to engage into the SEA process. This report summarizes the general discussion and conclusions of an international consultation meeting on "Health and strategic environmental assessment". The overall aim of the consultation meeting was to seek further advice from SEA and health experts and discuss challenges and opportunities for the further involvement of the health sector in SEA and strategic planning processes.

Their work emphasizes situated in the concepts of learner the subject matter as content.…”

“…Curriculum Framework as based Dahlgren and Whitehead (1991) Seminal work by adult learning theorists Schon (1983) and Schwab (1973) Their work emphasizes multidimensionality and complexity and is in the concepts of learner, professor, milieu which includes the preceptor and client; and Extrapolating these ideas, the purpose of each learning moment is aning, and relevance to the student's developing practice. Because nursing is a practice profession, learning experiences need to contribute to and enhance role socialization and understanding of professional practice.…”
