The editors of the journal Sexuality Research and Social Policy is requesting article submissions for a special issue on Sexual Health in the Caribbean.
This special issue is intended to showcase the work researchers are doing to address the multiple areas of sexual health in the Caribbean* and the Caribbean diaspora. We encourage authors to submit their work in the areas of sexuality education, sexual rights, social determinants of sexual health, sexual health promotion, HIV and other STIs, sexual diversities – including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender groups, sexual dysfunctions, among others. We are particularly interested in papers that address the implications of sexual health research to inform policies. Submissions that advance the theoretical and methodological discussions of sexual health research and policy in the Caribbean region are also encouraged.
CARISMA-PANCAP is requesting applications from suitably qualified consultant(s) to document and review the interpersonal communications (IPC) strategies for HIV prevention and sexual health promotion of social marketing organisations (SMOs) with selected populations in two Caribbean countries (St Lucia and the Dominican Republic), from April – September 2012. This will involve working closely with SMOs who are part of the CARISMA programme.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 21st May 2012 at 17.00 (London time)

A few days ago, while chatting with @soroyajulian, one of the things that came up was the scope of health communication. Although the topic related to what we wanted to showcase on the blog, it did make me think more about the field in general and the people who work in it. Many health communication researchers and experts work to develop, implement and evaluate effective behavior change campaigns But, the field is much more than that. Areas of active interest today include ehealth applications and their implications, patient-provider communications, health advocacy and the media, impact of the media on health behavior, and communication inequities and health disparities. Some specialize in areas such as HIV/AIDS, others are cancer communication experts, and some at the intersection of environmental health and communication among other areas.
