Physical and Sexual Violence, Mental Health Indicators, and Treatment Seeking Among Street-Based Population Groups in Tegucigalpa, Honduras Investigación original / Original research Physical and sexual violence, mental health indicators, and treatment seeking among street-based population groups in Tegucigalpa, Honduras Javier Rio Navarro,1 Julien Cohen,2 Eva Rocillo Arechaga,3 Edgardo Zuniga,3 and Médecins Sans Frontières Evaluation and Action Team–Honduras 3 Suggested citation Rio Navarro J, Cohen J, Rocillo Arechaga E, Zuniga E, Médecins Sans Frontières Evaluation and Action Team–Honduras. Physical and sexual violence, mental health indicators, and treatment seeking among street-based population groups in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Rev Panam Salud Publica. 2012;31(5):388–95. ABSTRACT Objective. To establish the prevalence of exposure to physical and sexual violence, mental health symptoms, and medical treatment-seeking behavior among three street-based subpopu- lation groups in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and to assess the association between sociodemo- graphic group, mental health indicators, and exposure to violence. Methods. An anonymous, cross-sectional survey among randomly selected street-based adolescents, adults, and commercial sex workers (CSWs) was undertaken at the end of 2010 in Tegucigalpa. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) mapped places where the study population gathers. Stratified probability samples were drawn for all groups, using two-stage random sampling. Trained MSF staff administered on-site standardized face-to-face questionnaires. Results. Self-reported exposure to severe physical violence in the previous year was 20.9% among street-based adolescents, 28.8% among adults, and 30.6% among CSWs. For the physical violence event self-defined as most severe, 50.0% of the adolescents, 81.4% of the adults, and 70.6% of the CSWs sought medical treatment. Their exposure to severe sexual violence was 8.6%, 28.8%, and 59.2%, respectively. After exposure to the self-defined most se- vere sexual violence event, 14.3% of adolescents, 31.9% of adults, and 29.1% of CSWs sought treatment. Common mental health and substance abuse symptoms were highly prevalent and strongly associated with exposure to physical (odds ratio 4.5, P < 0.0001) and sexual (odds ratio 3.7, P = 0.0001) violence. Conclusions. Exposure to physical and sexual violence reached extreme levels among street-based subpopulations. Treatment-seeking behavior, particularly after severe sexual violence, was limited. The association of mental health and substance abuse symptoms with exposure to violence could lead to further victimization. Medical and psychological treatments targeting these groups are needed and could help decrease their vulnerability.

  • Honduras Was the Central American Country Hardest Hit by Hurricane Mitch in 1998
    BaBaBa ckground Information Honduras was the Central American country hardest hit by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. This natural disaster took some 6 000 lives and just as many disappeared. 70% of all crops were destroyed, not to mention all of the damage caused to homes, services and infrastructures. Today, Honduras and its population have not only recovered from this tragedy, but have begun a strong comeback thanks to an organized reconstruction program. However, two out of three people still live under the poverty line. Source: CIDA (PROMESAS Program), IDRC (International Development Research Center), CARE Instructions Read the following text and complete the activity suggested by your teacher. Circumstances In a small rural community in Honduras, village council members decided to ask for the support for a development program for a cooperative project. Several options are available: there are government financial assistance programs made possible thanks to international aid, and as well, several non-governmental organizations which are oriented towards development programs offer assistance. The council delegated David, the leader of the community, to meet with various representatives in Tegucigalpa to explore the options which are offered to the village. Scene 1 Today, David is back from the capital city. He stayed there over a week to meet with various governmental representatives, and others from non-governmental Honduran organizations as well as others from various countries. The villagers can’t wait to hear how the meetings went! David decided on a very interesting offer. He thus returned to the village to inform everyone of it. The council members were invited to a meeting at his place..

    In conjunction with: Trends in new technology and design 6th December 2016 Havana - Cuba GPD CUBA An exciting place to invite and network with your South and North American customers Tuesday 6th December 2016 Meliá Cohiba Hotel GOLD SPONSORS: MEDIA PARTNERS: THE CONFERENCE The Glass Performance Days (GPD) is an independent forum dedicated to the development of the global glass industry through education. This is achieved by holding conferences in different countries. Currently the main conferences take place every two years in Finland (where GPD also holds workshops and a glass exhibition). In 2016, GPD will land in the Caribbean Region with GPD CUBA, in conjunction with CUBA GLASS, which will be held on the 6th and 7th December in Havana. Over the years, GPD has organized countless smaller local events, to share the latest knowledge with local specialists who cannot attend the main GPD event in Finland. These events are a great way to inform and educate industry leaders and designers alike as to what the most recent glass technology can offer. These events are also a great way for professionals from around the world to meet and discuss business with local specialists. Following the end of the embargo, Cuba is starting to open up to modernization and development in all sec- tors. Glass is certain to be at the forefront of Cuba’s development and with this a great deal can be done to modernize and recreate this beautiful country. CUBA GLASS is the fi rst international event that not only allows you to help renew, revolutionize and invest in the island but also gives you the opportunity of enjoying this experience with your customers from North and South America.
