  • A Study of Chlamydia Trachomatis: Sexual Risk Behaviour, Infection and Prevention in the Australian Defence Force
    A study of Chlamydia trachomatis: sexual risk behaviour, infection and prevention in the Australian Defence Force Stephen Mark Lambert Diploma of Teaching; Bachelor of Education; Masters in Public Health A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Medicine I Abstract There is limited research in Australia focusing on C. trachomatis infection at a population level utilising systematic non-random recruitment methodologies. In addition, little is known in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) about the prevalence of C. trachomatis and of risk behaviours that may impact on sexual health. This study utilised an existing process in the ADF, the Annual Health Assessment, to source new information about C. trachomatis infection and about sexual risk and behaviour. The outcomes of this research may assist the ADF to maintain the health of personnel and consequently a high degree of operational preparedness, and may contribute to the understanding of C. trachomatis prevalence in Australia and across the world. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of C. trachomatis infection and to identify potential high risk populations in the ADF with a view to discussing secondary prevention interventions for the control of C. trachomatis infection within the ADF. Seven hundred and thirty-three ADF personnel were recruited into the study over a 24 month period. Participants were asked to complete an 8 page comprehensive survey about sexual behaviour and to provide a urine sample to be tested for C. trachomatis. Ethics approval was received from both the Australian Defence Human Research Ethics Committee and the University of Queensland Medical Research Ethics Committee.

  • Barbados 2020 Human Rights Report
    BARBADOS 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Barbados is a parliamentary democracy led by Prime Minister Mia Mottley of the Barbados Labour Party. The Barbados Labour Party won all 30 parliamentary seats in the 2018 election. A former Barbados Labour Party member of Parliament became an independent in order to serve as the formal leader of the opposition. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state and is represented by the governor general, who certifies all legislation on her behalf. The Royal Barbados Police Force is responsible for domestic law enforcement, including migration and border enforcement. The police and all other law enforcement agencies report to the attorney general. The Barbados Defence Force protects national security and may be called upon to maintain public order in times of crisis, emergency, or other specific needs. The defense force reports to the minister of defense and security. The law provides that the police may request defense force assistance with special joint patrols. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the police and defense forces. There were no reports that the security forces committed any serious abuses. Significant human rights issues included: trafficking in persons, and the criminalization of consensual same-sex sexual conduct between adults. Authorities did not enforce the law on same-sex sexual conduct during the year. The government had mechanisms in place to identify and punish officials who may commit human rights abuses. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were no reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings.
