Руководство для руководителей программ
Esta es la primera de la serie de Guías de Aprendizaje sobre la lepra publicadas por ILEP. Va dirigida a todo el personal sanitario que trata a personas afectadas de
lepra, especialmente a los que reciben a los pacientes remitidos por primera vez por otros profesionales, como en un Centro de Salud... Primario. Las personas de
las que se sospecha que padecen lepra tienen que ser examinadas aquí detenidamente para que el diagnóstico pueda ser confirmado o rechazado. Por lo tanto, esta Guía ofrece información más detallada que la Guía para la Eliminación de la Lepra como Problema de Salud Pública de la OMS, que va dirigida principalmente al personal sanitario más periférico.

Experience from Save the Children and partners globally
demonstrates that improvements in education quality go hand-in-hand
with inclusion and access, Flexible, quality, responsive learning
environments will benefit all children and are fundamental to including
marginalised groups like disabled ...children in education.
These guidelines are primarily aimed at education staff trying to
develop inclusive education practices, focussing on including disabled
children in schools.While this book focuses on disabled children, we
hope it will be useful for developing general inclusive education
practices. Community groups and non-governmental organisations, as
well as people working in community-based rehabilitation(CBR) and
the wider disability context, could also use these guidelines to provide
input into inclusive education work.
While the guidelines focus primarily on schools, much of the
information is still relevant to readers working in out-of-school
situations.

This document adopts a health determinants framework for examining the evidence related to women’s poor mental health. From this perspective, public policy including economic policy, socio-cultural and environmental factors, community and social support, stressors and life events, personal behavio...ur and skills, and availability and access to health services, are all seen to exercise a role in determining women’s mental health status. Similarly, when considering the differences between women and men, a gender approach has been used. While this does not exclude biological or sex differences, it considers the critical roles that social and cultural factors and unequal power relations between men and women play in promoting or impeding mental health. Such inequalities create, maintain and exacerbate exposure to risk factors that endanger women’s mental health, and are most graphically illustrated in the significantly different rates of depression between men and women, poverty and its impact, and the phenomenal prevalence of violence against women.
