Trends and racial differences in infant mortality in South Africa.

Racial differences in infant mortality in South Africa are studied using household-level data from 1987 to 1989 and 1998. Logistic regression models are estimated to explore the determinants of the overall trend in infant mortality and racial disparities in infants' survival chances. We do not find evidence for reduced overall risk of infant death among births that occurred from 1993 to 1998 when compared to those that occurred from 1982 to 1989, despite policy and action directed toward this goal by the new government that was elected in early 1994. We also find that persistent inequalities in the personal and household resources of South Africa's four main racial groups substantially account for racial differences in infant survival rates in both periods. These findings are discussed in light of contemporary social and health issues in South Africa.

Training trainers: South Africa. "Things are serious".

An AIDS educator in Natal recently commented: "Things are looking really serious here. We are picking up 100 new HIV cases a week and have an estimated 150,000-300,000 people infected with the virus in Natal alone. This figure is currently doubling around every 6-9 months." In an attempt to address this problem, the AIDS Training, Information and Counselling Center (ATICC) in Durban has developed a 7-day "train the trainer" workshop and manual. The ATICC course helps participants to return to their business or community organization with the confidence and skills to plan, implement and evaluate the AIDS awareness and education program, including training additional AIDS educators locally. Skills building activities for carrying out effective and relevant programs include: how people learn and the theory of experience-based learning; assessment of self as an educator; analysis of target groups; the importance of clear aims and objectives; education techniques and methods; facilitation of group interaction and the use of facilitators' notes. By day 6 of the course, participants present and AIDS awareness session to a local group. By the end of the course, participants are able to plan an AIDS education program suitable for their organization.
