offered as a separate service in separate facilities was advocated; and the need for reproductive health services specifically designed for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) was recognized. Overall, it called for a fundamental rethink of health service provision (Sen, 1994; Bongaarts, 1994; Hartmann, 1987) As reported by Pearce (2001), the international population establishment became more interested in Africa’s population growth rates after the 1960s, and significantly increased…

Mrs. Smith, I completely understand your concerns, as a mother I too experience these concerns with my adolescent sons as well. I can certainly help you understand what A is going through, why you’re seeing these changes and the norms of these changes. As your daughter moves further into adolescence there will be changes that will raise major concerns but hopefully by the end of our conversation you can discern and know what to expect in the next few years as she moves into the later part of…

Obviously, this is a symptom of schistosomiasis rather than a natural bodily function. Nevertheless, both are seen as a rite of passage into sexually…

Physiologically girls can have children after starting menarche. I would not consider an eleven or twelve year old an adult. However, for many couples having a child does mark the beginning of adulthood. Having the responsibility of another human being and making decisions for that person’s well-being is an adult…

The human body is unarguably impressive. From microscopic cells working in unison, to large life-providing organs that function involuntary, the anatomy is awe-inspiring. Every aspect has a purpose, and consequently the design of the tissue or organ system is the result of form following function. As a result, when an anatomical aspect deviates from its intended shape or composition, the effect can prove detrimental. This occurrence is especially caustic in regards to the respiratory system,…

The determination that they are genetic males often is made for the first time when menarche fails to appear even quite late in adolescence. Longitudinal studies of affected individuals have noted a striking absence of most male-typical behavior and interests (Ehrhardt, 1975; Ehrhardt, Epstein, & Money, 1968; Money, 1969; Money,…
