  • A History of Global Health
    PART I Colonial Entanglements On November 15, 1932, representatives from several African colonial territories, British India, the League of Nations Health Organization, and the Rockefeller Foundation met in Cape Town, South Africa. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss questions relating to public-health administration and protection against epidemic diseases. Much of the conference focused on the problem of yellow fever. Growing concerns about the potential spread of yellow fever from its endemic locations in Latin America and west central Africa into other African colonial territories, and from there to South Asia, provided the background for these discussions. A map labeled “African Air Routes, 1932” accompanied the conference report.1 This map showed the routes of European airlines crisscrossing the continent and connecting Africa to the wider world. It was intended to illustrate that advances in air travel, which were bringing various parts of the world into closer contact with one another, were also creating pathways along which pathogens—specifically, yellow fever—could travel. The British, who had established colonies from Egypt to South Africa at the end of the nineteenth century, feared that yellow fever could be transported from West Africa to its colonies elsewhere in Africa, and from there to the jewel of its colonial empire in India, where the deadly disease had never been identified but the mosquitoes that transmitted it existed. The impact of this eastward spread of yellow fever would be devastating. The League of Nations Health Organization, which had been established after World War I as part of an effort to prevent future wars by ensuring the health and well-being of the world’s populations, viewed the conference as an opportunity to expand its influence into the colonial world.

  • Estimated Occurrence of Tobacco, Alcohol, and Other Drug Use Among 12
    Estimated occurrence of tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use among 12- to 18-year-old students in Panama: Results of Panama’s 1996 National Youth Survey on Alcohol and Drug Use Gonzalo B. González,1 Miguel A. Cedeño,1 Marcel Penna,1 Luis Caris,2 Jorge Delva,3 and James C. Anthony 3 ABSTRACT This report provides the first epidemiological evidence on tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use among school students in Panama, using data from a student survey completed in 1996. Specifically, we examine sex, age, grade level, type of school, and urban-rural variations in the occurrence of tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use. Estimates of lifetime prevalence and past- year use of these products were obtained using data from Panama’s 1996 National Youth Sur- vey on Alcohol and Drug Use (n = 6 477). To account for the multistage sampling design of the survey, all estimates and respective standard errors are derived by the Taylor series approx- imation method using Epi Info 6.0 CSAMPLE software. In general, more males, more older students, and more students in higher grades have used licit and illicit drugs, even though male-female differences tend to be small. Public-private school differences and urban-rural trends vary depending on the drug. The findings of this study are discussed in relation to the epidemiology and prevention of drug use in Panama. Based on these data, we seek to provide information to be used by the Government of Panama in its planning for prevention programs directed toward students in Panamanian schools. The Coalition of Panama [La Coali- the dimensions of youthful drug in- sent school-attending youths.

At the time, the majority of Americans saw Panama as a wild tropical jungle, with dangerous diseases and a hostile climate. One of the most prevalent diseases in tropical regions, yellow fever, also known as yellow jack, was known to pose an enormous challenge to the success of the canal construction- the first mountain blocking Panama from successful U.S.
