Can social capital help explain enrolment (or lack thereof) in community-based health insurance? Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Philipa Mladovsky, Werner Soors, Pascal Ndiaye, Alfred Ndiaye

CBHI has achieved low population coverage in West Africa and elsewhere. Studies which seek to explain this point to inequitable enrolment, adverse selection, lack of trust in scheme management and information and low quality of health care. Interventions to address these problems have been proposed yet enrolment rates remain low. This exploratory study proposes that an under-researched determinant of CBHI enrolment is social capital. ...

Trends in Pre-School Enrolment in Turkey: Unequal Access and Differential Consequences. Comparative Education KU Leuven Universiteit Gent

Orhan Agirdag
© 2015 Taylor & Francis. In this study, a historical and international analysis of early childhood education in Turkey is made. More specifically, we explore the trend in pre-school enrolment, compare Turkey's enrolment rate with other countries, study whether access to pre-school is related to social class and gender, and investigate the impact of pre-school attendance on later academic performance. We use data from the PISA (Programme for ...

Understanding the limitations of “quasi-mandatory” approaches to enrolment in community-based health insurance: Empirical evidence from Tanzania KU Leuven

Adeline Ajuaye, Boris Verbrugge, Jan Van Ongevalle, Patrick Develtere
© 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. In recent decades, a growing number of low-income countries (LICs) have experimented with voluntary community-based health insurance (CBHI), as an instrument to extend social health protection to the rural poor and the informal sector. While modest successes have been achieved, important challenges remain with regard to the recruitment and retention of members, and the regular collection of membership fees. In ...

Advanced HIV disease at enrolment in HIV care Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Reaksmey Pe, Bopha Chim, Sopheak Thai, Lut Lynen, Johan van Griensven

BACKGROUND: Early HIV diagnosis and enrolment in care is needed to achieve early antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation. Studies on HIV disease stage at enrolment in care from Asian countries are limited. We evaluated trends in and factors associated with late HIV disease presentation over a ten-year period in the largest ART center in Cambodia.

METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of program data including all ARV-naïve ...

School of choice or schools’ choice? Intersectional correspondence testing on ethnic and class discrimination in the enrolment procedure to Flemish kindergarten Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Dounia Bourabain, Pieter-Paul Verhaeghe, Peter Stevens
Most research on intake focusses on the restrictions parents' capital cause on their abilities to choose. However, the steering effect of schools in the choice-process has been neglected. We chose the Flemish context to investigate ethnic- and class-discrimination in the enrolment to kindergarten (N = 2243). The Flemish education system is known for its exceptional 'freedom of choice' allowing parents to enrol their children into their school of ...

Antiretroviral therapy enrollment characteristics and outcomes among HIV-infected adolescents and young adults compared with older adults - seven African countries, 2004-2013 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

A.F. Auld, S.G. Agolory, R.W. Shiraishi, F. Wabwire-Mangen, G. Kwesigabo, M. Mulenga, S Hachizovu, E. Asadu, M.Z. Tuho, V. Ettiegne Traore, et al.
Although scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART) since 2005 has contributed to declines of about 30% in the global annual number of human immunodeficiency (HIV)-related deaths and declines in global HIV incidence, estimated annual HIV-related deaths among adolescents have increased by about 50% and estimated adolescent HIV incidence has been relatively stable. In 2012, an estimated 2,500 (40%) of all 6,300 daily new HIV infections occurred ...

Primary teachers' perceptions that impact upon track recommendations regarding pupils' enrolment in secondary education: a path analysis Universiteit Antwerpen

Elien Sneyers, Jan Vanhoof, Paul Mahieu
In less meritocratic educational systems, teachers' decision-making processes and their perceptions of pupils are essential for the practice of pupils' allocation at transitory moments. The present study investigated how perceptions held by teachers impact upon teacher track recommendations regarding pupils' enrolment in secondary education in Flanders. By means of structural equation modelling, we studied the hypothesised impact of pupils' ...

How do students and lecturers experience the interactive use of handheld technology in large enrolment courses? KU Leuven

Tom Van Daele, Carolien Frijns, Jeroen Lievens
Although constructivist theories have shown learning is accelerated by involvement and meaningful lecturer–student and student–student interaction, these ingredients are mostly absent from large attendance lectures. A number of studies have already focused on more active ways of learning in large lecture classrooms, most often by using student response systems or “clickers”. This field study wishes to extend the current knowledge base by ...
