Featured Publications
The following publications were featured in the the latest edition of the RTI Publications Bulletin.
Reports
The researchers simulated outcomes from the model with outcomes from 24 published trials, measuring incidence of diabetes, renal disease, neuropathy, retinopathy, cardiovascular disease and mortality. The model results were generally close to published outcomes.
The researchers suggest that these public-private partnerships can further improve outcomes if project beneficiaries are directly involved. The authors propose strategies for ensuring a balance between partner priorities, avoiding frustrations with divergent organizational cultures, and incorporating beneficiary participation that can improve alignment of corporate social responsibility activities with development priorities and thereby increase their impact.
Journal Articles
The study, which included almost 2,500 women at five Southern African clinics for up to two years, found that 95 percent of participants rated the diaphragm highly, and those who did so , those who openly disclosed use with their partner and those who perceived their partner approved of the diaphram and gel, were more likely to consistently use it.
The study was conducted by researchers at RTI International's Women's Global Health Imperative, University of California-Berkeley, Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore, and International Center for Research on Women, and funded by a grant from the United States Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The researchers also found that husbands who have difficulty maintaining a job are more likely to be physically violent to their wives. The research examined the association between spousal employment status and physical domestic violence in Bangalore.
The study surveyed more than 3,500 employees who smoke and more than 1,400 employers (both smokers and nonsmokers) in 14 counties about their attitudes toward workplace smoking and cessation. The results showed that 74 percent of smoking employees and 87 percent of employers felt that the workplace should be smoke free.
The study looked at more than 500 mostly Latino children 10 to 12 years of age and found that children who were neglected had IQ deficits and misattributed emotion, and children who were physically abused were lacking in problem solving skills.
