Abstract

This outcome was partially achieved through a series of seminars conducted in the 2009 Fall Semester. Four students and I met every other week during the semester and discussed the following topics: the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Thailand, avian flu in South East Asia, street children in Thailand, migration issues in Northern Thailand, economic and political transformation in Thailand, Tsunami response and recovery in Thailand, the nutrition and epidemiologic transition in South East Asia, sex trafficking and sex tourism in Thailand, Thailand’s political and geographical neighbors and political stability in the region; religion in Thailand; child and adolescent health issues in Thailand; childhood injury in South East Asia; the global epidemic of obesity; heroin trafficking in Southeast Asia, and global youth risk behavior studies. Each student investigated and researched three separate topics concerning specific public health issues in Thailand and South East Asia and subsequently gave presentations and led discussions with our group on those topics.
