“…Likewise, results of the present study shows that 72.5% of the oncologists are male and more than half of total oncologists are hematologist-oncologists. On the other hand, a study shows that oncologists who have an academic position (32%) allocate little time to clinical services (20). Consistently, the present study found that on average about 31% of the oncologists have been working in academic settings.…”

Background: Cancer is the third cause of death in Iran. Oncologists play a key role in declining the mortality rate of cancer. Objectives: This study aims to accurately estimate oncologists' active supply by using 3 sources of capture-recapture (CRC) in Iran. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in 2015 targeting all oncologists in Iran registered in 3 independent sources, a hospitals national survey (213), database of Iran ministry of health and medical education (180), and the database of continuing medical education (173) were used to identify number of oncologists that were active. Duplicate records between the 3 sources were identified and removed using the Microsoft Office Access software. Medical council codes, names, surnames, as well as national ID codes were used for data linkage between the 3 sources.

“…There were studies from 22 countries, the majority (62%) being from Africa [5,6,8,13,24–36] and South and Central America [10,18–20,37–46], with the remainder located in Asia [9,47–57], the Middle East [58,59] and Europe [60–64]. Almost all studies (41 of 50) were cross-sectional.…”

The epidemiology of substance use among street children in resource‐constrained settings: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Aims To compile and analyze critically the literature published on street children and substance use in resource-constrained settings. Methods We searched the literature systematically and used meta-analytical procedures to synthesize literature that met the review’s inclusion criteria. Pooled-prevalence estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using the random-effects model for life-time substance use by geographical region as well as by type of substance used. Results Fifty studies from 22 countries were included into the review. Meta-analysis of combined life-time substance use from 27 studies yielded an overall drug use pooled-prevalence estimate of 60% (95% CI = 51–69%). Studies from 14 countries contributed to an overall pooled prevalence for street children’s reported inhalant use of 47% (95% CI = 36–58%). This review reveals significant gaps in the literature, including a dearth of data on physical and mental health outcomes, HIV and mortality in association with street children’s substance use. Conclusions Street children from resource-constrained settings reported high life-time substance use. Inhalants are the predominant substances used, followed by tobacco, alcohol and marijuana.

“…In the 1990s, “point-in-time” estimation [48] [69] and “plant/capture” correction procedures [70] were developed as advances over conventional homeless census techniques [71]–[73] and both were used in a number of US cities [47] [74] [75] (recently, see Bezerra et al [76]). Yet both point-in-time and plant/capture are dependent on the existence of total census operations for their effectiveness.…”

During the United States economic recession of 2008–2011, the number of homeless and unstably housed people in the United States increased considerably. Homeless adult women and unaccompanied homeless youth make up the most marginal segments of this population. Because homeless individuals are a hard to reach population, research into these marginal groups has traditionally been a challenge for researchers interested in substance abuse and mental health. Network analysis techniques and research strategies offer means for dealing with traditional challenges such as missing sampling frames, variation in definitions of homelessness and study inclusion criteria, and enumeration/population estimation procedures. This review focuses on the need for, and recent steps toward, solutions to these problems that involve network science strategies for data collection and analysis. Research from a range of fields is reviewed and organized according to a new stress process framework aimed at understanding how homeless status interacts with issues related to substance abuse and mental health. Three types of network innovation are discussed: network scale-up methods, a network ecology approach to social resources, and the integration of network variables into the proposed stress process model of homeless substance abuse and mental health. By employing network methods and integrating these methods into existing models, research on homeless and unstably housed women and unaccompanied young people can address existing research challenges and promote more effective intervention and care programs.
