Institute for Population and Social ResearchLongitudinal research is the term coined to differentiate the methodology and utility of this type of research with that of cross-sectional research. It is a necessary tool for studying social change and dynamic behavior due to its ability to track individuals over time to assess change. A prime principle of longitudinal studies is to link individual data across time. The need for and utility of longitudinal research are extremely relevant today. The growing diversity of changes led by globalization, population trends and epidemiological transitions force researchers to better understand and grasp the nature and processes of change associated with social and behavioral dynamics. This paper synthesizes the ways in which longitudinal research has been a valuable tool for analyzing changing trends in population and health and the causal factors contributing to these changes, with special attention to its use in the Asia and Pacific Region. The discussion centers on three main aspects, beginning with an overview of longitudinal research, its development and changing needs, its distinctive features, and its relevance to population and health research. The presentation continues with a review of the utility of longitudinal studies in population and health research, followed by an assessment of the prospects and challenges for longitudinal studies.Publication Open Access Development of Home and Community Care for AIDS Patients in the Socio-cultural Context of the Central Region, Thailand(2011-01) Sutheera Hoontrakul; Pensri Kaweevongprasert; Mahidol University. Faculty of Nursing. Department of Public Health NursingThis study reviews experiences of home and community-based care for AIDS patients and presents strategic suggestions to support home and community care (HCC) in the socio-cultural context of the central region of Thailand. It reviews a variety of documents and lessons learned on HCC for AIDS in this region. The results of the study reported the same problems that many AIDS patients are confronting with community’s negative attitude towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). The key finding of the study is that most AIDS patients are cared for at home. Buddhist temples, Christian charity homes and NGO temporary shelters are alternatives for those whose families are poor or who have been abandoned by their families. For PLHIV, self-help groups organized by public hospitals or NGO staff are helpful and needed . Home visits performed by these staff are also appreciated. Strategies suggested for HCC development are: 1) Restoring the traditional Thai caring culture. 2) Empowering community organizations to support PLHIV to get access to better care. 3) Strengthening the collaboration among HCC stakeholders to improve the efficiency of the whole health care system. 4) Establishing active participatory communication networks among stakeholders through a variety of innovative and interactive communication channels and media. All stakeholders should be enabled to speak out and share health information and support according to the health needs of the PLHIV and other community members.Publication Open Access Implementing Free, Compulsory Primary Education (FCPE) in an Urban Setting in Myanmar: A Perspective on Challenges for and Strategies of State and Non-State Actors in Three Townships of Yangon Aye Mar Win(2021) Aye Mar Win; Suphatmet Yunyasit; Mahidol University. Institute of Human Rights and Peace StudiesFree, Compulsory Primary Education (FCPE) is a basic human right and if implemented properly, can enhance a country’s socio-economic development and stability. This study mainly focuses on the perspective of state and non-state actors on the implementation of FCPE in Myanmar, in three townships of Yangon. It also pays particular attention to the roles of a group of stakeholders, namely education officers at central, district and township levels, parents, parent-teacher associations, and the schools, seeking to know how they participate in fulfilment of this policy. Challenges for FCPE as perceived by these stakeholders are presented in the study. The research employs a qualitative research approach, targeting three schools in different townships in Yangon and selecting 17 state and non-state actors as interview subjects. The study finds that in the three townships the implementation of FCPE seems to run rather smoothly with effective collaboration between state and non-state actors. Schools, in particular, attempt to make sure access to primary education is possible for all children in the area. They cooperate with ward administrations for necessary documentation for children to be able to register at schools and with Parent-Teacher Associations (PTA) in creating a friendly atmosphere for students, including providing them with nutritious food. Teachers at schools are also asked to monitor and assist children from poor family backgrounds. Schools also seek to assist children that could not attend school during regular hours by arranging non-formal primary education (NFPE) for them.
