HIV prevention needs assessment of men who have sex with men (MSM)
No full textIn 2011 NHS GGC and NHS Lothian began a process of review of their HIV prevention work aimed at MSM.
Both Health Boards had developed and delivered HIV prevention interventions based on current evidence and local need for almost a decade, however, despite some significant success in increasing HIV testing rates and reducing the proportion of undiagnosed HIV infection among MSM, both Health Boards had failed to see a reduction in new HIV infections amongst MSM. Both Boards had also witnessed rises in risk behaviours reported by MSM over the last decade, specifically reports of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI).
Although there was a good understanding of the types of interventions that were likely to have a positive effect on reducing HIV transmission from the published literature, there were considerable gaps in knowledge around how to effectively deliver these interventions in a Scottish context. It was therefore agreed that there was a need to increase understanding of the demographics and behaviours of high risk MSM and to use this knowledge to inform the development of effective targeted HIV prevention interventions. It was agreed that this could best be delivered jointly across both NHS GGC and NHS Lothian. The Scottish Government provided additional funds to support this projec

Healthy mums healthy children: Report on the health of pregnant women and children 2011/12
Get PDFThe main finding of this report is that social disadvantage is a key determinant of health outcomes and processes, underlining the central importance of ensuring that health services do their part to tackle inequalities associated with child and family poverty. In addition, there is evidence of variation across Community Health (and Care) Partnership areas which cannot be explained by poverty. This variation is likely to arise as a result of different approaches to policy or practice, including recording of health information. Such variation should be minimised as it has the potential to widen inequalities and makes the interpretation of surveillance data difficult. The Healthy Children Programme is outlined as the service response to tackling child poverty and reducing variation across services
