Rationale for Research. Women’s empowerment is a human right, and it has strong implications for the health of women, children, and families (Grown et al., 2005; Xxxxxx, 2000; Xxxxxx et al., 1995). Research investigating the determinants of women’s empowerment is limited (Malhotra et al., 2002). Although studies suggest aspects of a woman’s fertility may contribute to her empowerment (Xxxxxxx et al., 1996), aspects of fertility are also shown to be associated with IPV (Bawah et al., 1999; Blanc, 2001; Ezeh, 1993; Sami & Ali, 2006). This research (a) identified direct and indirect pathways by which a woman’s fertility affected her empowerment and (b) clarified the net effects of a woman’s fertility on her empowerment as reduced by her risk for IPV. Further, this research advances understanding of effective strategies for improving women’s reproductive and sexual health, reducing IPV, and promoting women’s empowerment. The completed dissertation has substantial impact for family planning programs, maternal morbidity, child and family health, the reduction of IPV, and improvements to women’s reproductive health since policy makers and program planners can prioritize aspects of fertility found to empower women and can incorporate more cautiously those aspects found to provoke IPV and/or lead to disempowerment. The following three chapters will proceed by study and will be summarized in a final concluding chapter. Study 1 examined the pathways by which a woman’s fertility and her conformity to community based fertility norms affect her empowerment. Study 2 considered three mediation models outlined in Figure 1 to determine the direct and indirect effects of various aspects of fertility on empowerment. Study 3 investigated how customary and contemporary resources were associated with empowerment. References Abdullah, T. A., & Xxxxxxxxxxx, X. X. (1982).

Rationale for Research. Medical intervention, particularly early intervention, improves the long-term outlook in arthritis [Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, 2000]. Unfortunately the provision of specialist services and access to modern treatments is uneven with many parts of the UK having limited specialist services; there is also insufficient training for health professionals about the care and support of people with inflammatory arthritis [Xxxxx et al. 1998]. This has consequences for individual patients and for society more widely. Given the costs of inflammatory arthritis to the NHS and to national productivity, it is unfortunate there is no National Service Framework for inflammatory arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. This lack of priority status is also reflected in the fact that these conditions are omitted from the Quality and Outcome Frameworks of the General Practitioners’ (GPs) General Medical Services (GMS) contracts. Despite the established and successful “medical model” of care in specialist clinics, many ARMA Standards are not met in Lambeth and Southwark. Partly this is because the Standards highlight aspects of care overlooked in conventional clinical management; for example patients’ need for help with work. In addition, they emphasise aspects of health falling outside the traditional scope of specialist clinics. Recent qualitative research by KCL Rheumatology highlighted these issues, including patients’ concerns about mobility, fatigue, sleep disturbance and psychosocial difficulties, lack of social support and work related problems. In addition pain remains a problem for many RA patients and has been shown to be linked with general well being, fatigue and disability, despite treatment with DMARDs [Xxx et al. 2011]. Many current clinic attendees use alternative therapies and additional non-prescribed medication as their pain is insufficiently treated. The principal limitations of the current services seem to comprise: (a) insufficient information for people about inflammatory arthritis and the limited integration of care across the primary-secondary care interface; (b) the lack of focus on outcomes that are important to patients including fatigue and pain (c) the need for individualised care plans that incorporate recommendations over and above the treatment of synovitis.
