Poor people have higher rates of morbidity, mortality, and disability, and less access to medical care and preventive services. They have more exposure to environmental health hazards. They are less likely to have access to healthful food. And they are more likely to be victims of violence. Much needs to be done to address the social injustices of poverty, including documentation and research, awareness-raising, and improved access to medical care, preventive services, education, job training, employment opportunities, and adequate housing. Health professionals must be culturally competent to address the medical needs of poor people, and socially and politically competent to address the social contexts that keep poor people poor. Victor W. Sidel, MD, has done important work to address poverty, and he has created a huge legacy for health, peace, and social justice. • • • I feel very privileged to be a close colleague of Victor W. Sidel, MD, and to have collaborated with him for more than 20 years in co-authoring more than 50 journal articles and book chapters, coediting six books, jointly giving many lectures, and participating in advocacy work together. I greatly admire and respect his scholarship and wisdom, his passion and energy, and his dedication and commitment to health, peace, and social justice. The Institute of Medicine has defined public health as what we, as a society, do collectively to

War and Public Health: A 20-Year Perspective

This session will address the following six issues and their evolution during this 20-year period: the impact of non-state actors in an asymmetric world after the end of the Cold War; the increases in the arms trade and military expenditures; the U.S. &quot;war on terror&quot; response to the 2001 terrorist attacks; the increasing likelihood of resource wars over water and petroleum; the continuing impact of armed conflict on non-combatant civilians; and the evolution of new threats, from the use of unarmed drones in conflict to the prospect of cyber attacks.

Public health professionals can do much to alleviate social injustice in its many forms and to reduce the health consequences of social injustice. Progress in the attainment of the Healthy People 2010 Objectives for the Nation and the Millennium Development Goals are measures of the alleviation of specific examples of social injustice and their health consequences. This presentation will focus on the progress, and the failures, over the past 3 years to address social injustice, using the mid-course reviews of the Healthy People 2010 Objectives and the Millennium Development Goals.

These include death and disability directly caused by war, destruction of the societal infrastructure that supports health and safety, forced migration of people both within their own country and as refugees to other countries, promotion of violence as a method to settle conflicts and disputes, and the long-term adverse effects on social relationships. This special issue of Social Medicine examines the impact of war on human health from a geographically diverse set of countries and from diverse perspectives. Dr. Andrea Angulo Menasse, a researcher from Mexico City's Autonomous University, documents the very personal story of how the violence of the Spanish Civil War affected one family. In her case study the trauma suffered by Spanish Republicans is traced through three generations and crosses the Atlantic Ocean as the family moves is exiled in Mexico. Dr. Sachin Ghimire from the Centre of Social Medicine and Community Health of the Jawaharlal Nehru University reports on his fieldwork in Rolpa, Nepal, the district from which the Nepal Civil War (also called the People's War) originated in 1996. Based on 80 interviews, he documents the difficulties faced by health care workers as they negotiated the sometimes deadly task of remaining in communities where control

Many children die during war as a result of wounds or other injuries, but many more die from diseases resulting from damage to the health-supporting infrastructure, including damage to agriculture and food supply systems, water and sanitation systems, and medical and public health services. Many children suffer serious mental health disorders as a result of war, including posttraumatic stress disorder and depression. Children who are forced or enticed into becoming child soldiers often suffer resultant injuries, diseases, and mental health problems. This presentation will address these issues and what public health workers can do to address them.

We included participating physicians in seven specialties and incorporated a component to assess the feasibility of using physician reporting to target work site evaluations. We identified 36 patients whose illnesses were probably or possibly work-related. We found that both patients and physicians were reluctant to request workplace evaluations.
