Press release INASP highlights BU research paper

INASP, an Oxford-based organisation, aims to improve access to, and production and use of, research information and knowledge for sustainable development.  Part of their approach is the Journals Online project which increases  the accessibility and visibility of developing-country research.   The Journals Online project includes a set of journals published Open Access in Nepal, know as NepJOL.  On of the journals in the stable of NepJOl is the SAARC Journal of Tuberculosis, Lung Diseases & HIV/AIDS.   Journals selected for inclusion on the Journals Online project must be:

  1. scholarly in content, and contain original research;
  2. peer reviewed and quality controlled;
  3. able to provide all necessary content in electronic format (tables of contents, abstracts and PDFs of full text);
  4. published, managed and developed within their respective country.

Yesterday INASP selected a paper published late last year and co-authored by two Bournemouth University academics for a special press release.  The press release can be found here!  This press release highlights our recently published paper in the SAARC Journal of Tuberculosis, Lung Diseases & HIV/AIDS.  Our paper ‘Knowing is Not Enough: Migrant Workers’ Spouses Vulnerability to HIV’ argues that despite having generally a good knowledge and awareness of HIV and risk associated with migration and HIV; migrants’ wives could not discuss sexual health issues with their husbands, thus increasing their vulnerability to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections [1].

Dr. Pramod Regmi, Post-Doctoral Research in the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences is quoted in the press release as saying: “knowledge alone would not be sufficient to fight against the spread of HIV/STI among wives of migrant workers.” This paper is an addition to a range of papers on health and well-being of Nepali migrant workers produced by BU academics [2-6].
