This monograph is based on a large-scale study among youth in Bangalore, the metropolitan capital of Karnataka. It elaborates various aspects related to tobacco use among youth: consumption of tobacco; perceptions of tobacco use and tobacco users; individual, social and environmental correlates of tobacco use; and status of prevailing tobacco control measures. Apart from the study findings, the monograph reviews and summarises the current literature and provides a nation-wide glimpse of these issues.

Participation in South-East Asia Regional Public Health Conference & 57th All India Annual Conference of IPHA in Kolkata for 1st to 3rd of February 2013.
The conference accepted from IPH staff two abstracts for oral presentation and one abstract for poster presentation.
The abstract of oral presentation by Dr. Prashanth NS was titled “More noise than usual”- Preliminary findings from evaluation of district-level capacity building programme of health managers. The paper highlighted possible mechanisms through which capacity-building programmes could bring about positive organisational change as those which could be seen to operate at three levels: individual characteristics of the participants (such as motivation, organisational commitment, attitudes towards positive organisational change), institutional arrangements (supportive nature of supervision, workplace dynamics among teams and the prevailing “culture” within their organisations such as district or taluka hospitals, PHCs and such) and the socio-economic and political environment in their taluka or district.
The abstract of oral presentation by Mr. Kuruvila Daniel was titled Analysis of medical negligence cases in the Tumkur district consumer forum from 2001 to 2011. The study concluded that incidence rate of cases in consumer forum was only 6/100,000 admissions in 2010, more obstetric cases could reflect more visibility of maternal health under NRHM and more cases against private providers could indicate patients’ expectation of value for money and assumption of government facilities being excluded from Consumer Protection Act (CPA).
