Short-term Medical Missions: Some Quality of Care Issues
"This article considers some aspects of quality of care for short-term medical mission teams. Results of an intervention using patient care cards provide a basis for discussion of some cultural, missiological, and operational factors that may negatively impact quality of care. Consideration of some alternative styles for short-term health missions arise from a comparison of the underlying assumptions of short-term medical missions that are at odds with the current trends in health missions toward community-based, transformational development ministries. Responsibility for the quality of care and for understanding the relevant factors ultimately rests with the health professionals on the short-term teams." Dohn MN, Dohn AL.

patient record and related issues. Missiology: An international review. October 2003. Volume 31 (No. 4): Pages 417-429. Changes in health indicators related to health promotion and microcredit programs in the Dominican Republic
This study used a set of 11 health indicators to assess the impact of health promotion programs and microcredit programs on three communities in the Dominican Republic. The health indicators improved in all three communities. However, the degree of change was different among the communities (P < 0.001). The community with parallel microcredit and health promotion programs had the largest improvements for 10 of the 11 health indicators. Dohn AL, Chávez A, Dohn MN, Saturria L, Pimental C.

Housing conditions and survival of people with HIV infection in the Dominican Republic
This abstract presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (4-8 Nov 2007, Philadelphia) is most notable for the clear difference that having access to anti-HIV therapy made on the survival rates of people newly diagnosed with HIV infection.
