Social Capital, Health Literacy, And Access To Healthcare : A Study Among Rural And Urban Populations In Ghana, Padmore Adusei Amoah

Theses & Dissertations

There is ample evidence supporting the association between social networks, and health and well-being. However, existing research and policies to address health-related inequalities in Ghana, have largely neglected this critical nexus. To address the knowledge gap, this study uses the concept of social capital (social relationships and the resources embedded in them) to investigate how and to what extent social relationships influence healthcare access and health literacy among selected rural and urban people. The study also examines how the stock of social capital, and the forms it takes, can influence implementation, and sustenance of local level pro-poor health policies. One …

An opinion survey is conducted to obtain the overall attitude towards educational inequality and social mobility, followed by comparisons on the social issues using official statistics and figures as published by the government and academia. The paper would compare the differences between how the general public perceive the issue of educational inequality and social mobility as reflected in the opinion survey, and the reality of the issues as presented by official data.

One Step Forward • One Decade

In Chinese language usage, “ten” is not only a number but also concurrently symbolizes the culmination of a development stage. As such, very often we can hear about the saying of “achievements made in a decade”.

In 2016 it is just the year of the 10th anniversary of the Office of Service-Learning (OSL) at Lingnan University. In retrospect, perhaps we should be humble in claiming any “achievements made in a decade”. Nevertheless, through this 10 years' well-honed experience we have managed to link together faculties, students and community members, who have utilized their professional …

藍地大街的故事, 香港嶺南大學服務研習處

OSL Students' Service-Learning Project Output: Booklet

嶺南大學服務研習處為大學生提供不同探索和參與社區的學習平台，在賽馬會「關愛．服務．研習 @ 屯門」計劃下，服務研習處於2017 年年初成功招募了十一位大學生成為「服務研習長者議題專題記者」（下稱「專題記者」）。專題記者於同年二月至四月期間接受了一系列的培訓，當中包括認識社區高齡化的議題、採訪、攝影及寫作技巧等，亦安排參觀媒體機構，了解記者的日常工作及環境；於同年三月至七月期間，專題記者到屯門藍地大街的傳統店鋪進行訪談。

藍地大街（下稱大街）位於新界屯門，是藍地的主要街道，附近有輕鐵藍地站、港鐵兆康站及嶺南大學。大街內有不少的村屋及小店鋪，包括舊式士多、百貨店及糧油雜貨店等，保留傳統市集的面貌，也算是偏離市中心的一條特色街道。在中文系講師蕭欣浩博士的指導下，專題記者撰寫專題文章，並透過文字及相片記錄店鋪的故事。服務研習處亦把文章編成此刊物，藉此加強大眾對屯門社區的認識。
