title: Cost-Benefit of Rabies Control Using the Intersified Dog control Program in Thailand

description: Rabies is still a major public health problem in Thailand. Because of its untreatable disease, all patients will eventually die. In Thailand, rabies is transmitted from dogs. With respect to WHO studies, 80% of vaccination coverage to dog population in particular areas would produce herd immunity. This could help preventing rabies infection in dog and indirectly in human. This study has an objective to analyze the cost of rabies control in animal, particularly in dog, and postexposure treatment in human. Secondary data in year 2000 will be taken into account. Furthermore the researcher had simulated the model to estimate the cost of rabies control in case of 80% dog vaccination coverage and also estimate the benefit gained. Benefit-Cost ratio of the program would be derived in order to corporate decision making. Empirical results showed that the cost of rabies control both in dog and human was 1,188,446,635 baht in year 2000. The total expenditure on animal activities was lower than human postexposure treatment approximately 427,909,871 baht or 112.5%. While the trend in human treatment was increasing every year, animai control activities were changing quite low. Vaccination cost per visit in dog was 46.54 baht contrary to human was 480.08 baht. Laboratory diagnosis in animal was 2,897.72 baht per sample. In estimating model, when dogs were vaccinated at least 80% during 3 years of program and dog population was increased rather low, the budget required was 99,321,106 baht. Benefit-Cost ratio was 2.04 (r=3%) and 1.36(r=5%). This study recommended that rabies control in animals, particularly in dogs, should be given more attention due to the major cause of spreading and the less operating cost. Plausibly, an expenditure on PET would be indirctly decreased. Another factors that should be mentioned are dog population control, continuing health education and strengthening the role of local authorities to deal with rabies control. These factors can support rabies control activities to carry out effectively.

title: Cost and Benefit Analysis of Leptospirosis Preventive Program

description: This study aimed to assess the totalc costs and benefits of providing protective boots for farmers to prevent leptospirosis infection. For the cost-benefit estimation, 149,236 rice famers in Sa Kaeo Province, and an estimated 140-150 days' of rice farming period, were set as the population and timeframe. Disease severity was classified into 4 levels: asymptomatic, mild, moderate, and severe or fatal. The cost per unit was composed of routine service cost, and medical care cost. 1. The numbers of cases with and without the protective boots were estimated using the odds ratio divided by the infection rate with the protective boots. 2. The number of cases associated with the disease severity "asymptomatic" was estimated using the prevalence of asymptomatic infection derived from a prevalence of asymptomatic infection study. The prevalence, at mild, moderate and severe levels, was estimated using the proportions between reported cases in the epidemiological surveillance report system. 3. The total cost with the protective boot program was composed of the potective boot program cost and the treatment cost. Both are measured from the provider perspective. The per unit cost is estimated as follows: 3.1 Protective boot cost: the routine service cost was derived from the unit cost analysis of health facilities under the authority of the MOPH in 6 provinces. The medical care cost was estimated using a cost accounting method. Data was drawn from the Office of Leptospirosis Control. 3.2 Treatment cost: the routine service cost was derived from the unit cost analysis of health facilites under the authority of the MOPH in 6 provinces, in the same study used for the cost estimation of the protective boots. The medicalcare cost was estimated using an adjusted charge method. Data were drawn from 30 purposively selected sample patients hospitalized at SaKaeo Crown Prince Hospital. 4. The benefits derived from the protective boot program were money equivalents of the prevented cases and prevented deaths measured by treatment cost. This treatment cost per unit was estimated in the same way as the treatment cost per unit whenwith the protective boot program. The results showed that (1) the total cost without the protective boot program was more than 103 million Baht, for 11,620 cases with 330 deaths; (2) the total cost with the protective boot program was nearly 91 million Baht. The protective boots cost 76 million Baht. The treatment cost was 15 million Baht for 1,640 cases with 47 dealths. The net financial saving was more than 12 million Baht, for 9,980 cases with 283 deaths prevented. The results indicate that the protective boot program produces a substantial saving.However, indirect benefits, such as the reduced treatment costs and intangible costs from the patient perspective, especially the death of the patient, cannot, and have not, been calculated into money equivalents in this study are not taken into consideration. If these were so, the benefits of the protective boot program would be even more significant.

title: Role of FDI on Thailand's export growth

description: Foreign direct investment has long been accepted for its benefits as a tool to raise country's productivity and finally increase the country's export. However, although Thailand experienced a substantial growth for both export and FDI, and despite the finding of complementarity relationship by most literatures, in the case of Thailand, the macroeconomic relationship between FDI and export has been barely test. So, the analysis in this paper concentrates the empirical relationship between inward FDI and export and aims at the analysis of whether FDI plays role on Thailand's export growth or not, with Thailand annual data for the period 1972-2002. The study divides the analysis into two parts which are qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. From the study, it is found that while export has increased, the export structure changed from low-value product to higher-value product, in line with the increase of FDI which especially flows to higher-technology manufactured product. The results of both parts point to the existence of long-run and short-run causality from inward FDI to export, according to a complementarity relationship, for the Thailand case during the period of analysis. However, the rapid drop of FDI in later years of the study reflects the loss of competitive ability of attracting FDI which is the important problem that government has to solve by developing policies. First, according to the importance of high value-added products export, the country should concentrate on high-tech-intensive industries. Next, the country should develop new competitive advantages and last, clusters should be promoted to increase the ability of competitiveness.

title: Factors related to the utilization of antenatal care among mothers delivered at the regional health promotion centre 1, Bangkok, Thailand

description: A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out at the Regional Health Promotion Centre 1, Bangkok, Thailand during 20th January 2003 to 16th February 2003 in order to determine factors related to the utilization of antenatal care services among mothers who delivered recently. The trained interviewers interviewee a total of 110 cases using pre-tested structured questionnaire after considering the inclusion criteria. The result of the study revealed that the prevalence of antenatal care utilization among mothers was almost cent percent. Number of antenatal visits was ranged between 3 to 11 times with the mean of 8.82 times and mode of 10 times. Normally, the first visit start in the beginning of second month of pregnancy. The coverage of tetanus toxoid immunization, iron/folate supplement, and required examinations for pregnant women was found tremendously good. Most of the women were aged between 20-35 years. Majority of them were workingwomen in the private sectors and housewives, and more than 80% were secondary school or above educated. Maximum three parity, majority (77%) having first parity, was also noticed. More than one third of women live in anuclear family with more than 5000 Baht of montly earnings. Most of thir pregnancy was planned (80%). Mostly, they were helped, encouraged and assisted by their husbands. All of them had positive attitudes, and more than 90% of them had high or average knowledge. The satisfaction with antenatal care services was very good (95%). Nevertheless, there were some specific items, were women's knowledge, attitudes and satisfactionw ere found low.Spearman's rho correlation coefficient test was performed to examine the relationships between frequency of antenatal care visits and variables of interest. The test result revealed that the knowledge was positively correlated (p

title: Cost-effectiveness analysis of diagnostic program for gestational diabetes :|bcomparison of BMA medical college and Vajira Hospital practical guideline and American diabetic association recommendation

description: The objective of this study was to analyze the cost-effectiveness of diagnostic program for qestational diabetes, comparison between BMA Medical college and Vajira Hospital Practical Guideline and American Diabetic Association Recommendation. By comparing the total cost of blood sugar test in pregnant women periodically (first visit, 24-28 weeks of gestational age, 32 weeks of gestational age) and futuer cost which corresponded to each program and the number of correctly diagnosis of gestational diabetes. The results were shown that the total cost which comprised of health provider of each program were 244,496.44 and 322,860.90 baht respectively. And patient's cost were 156,714.23 and 333,947.26 similarly. The effectiveness were measured by the number of correctly diagnosis of gestational diabetes in this study were 36 and 30 cases respectively also. The cost-effectiveness in health provider's perspective of each progarm were 6,791.57 and 10,762.03 baht per case respectively. The cost-effectiveness in patient's perspective of each program were 4.353.15 and 11,198.24 baht per case similarly. In this study, it is clearly demonstrated that BMA Medical College and Vajira Hospital Practical Guideline is more cost-effective than American Diabetic Association Recommendation in diagnosis of gestational diabetes.

title: Cost-effectiveness analysis of chronic disease management : comparison between King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Public Health Center 16 Lumpini

description: The objectives of this study was to analyze the cost-effectiveness of chronic disease management: comparison between King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Public Health Center 16 Lumpini during 1 Oct, 2003-30 Sep, 2004 focusing on the provider perspective. This was a descriptive retrospective study. The cost in this study focuses on the direct cost. The effectiveness was measured in terms of disease controllability. The results from the study revealed that : (1) The total management cost of diabetes mellitus with non-complicated patients at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Public Health Center 16 Lumpini was 1,170,917.21 and 738,679.67 baht/year, respectively. The total cost of management of hypertension was also 840,797.66 and 946,625.30 baht/year, respectively. The unit cost of diabetes mellitus management at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Public Health Center 16 Lumpini was 1,885.33 and 370.08 baht/visited, respectively. The unit cost of hypertension management was 1,054.95 and 370.08 baht/visited, respectively. (2) The effectiveness of diabetes mellitus management at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Public Health Center 16 Lumpini was 34.79% and 22.58% and the effectiveness of hypertension disease management was 86.20% and 81.26%, respectively. (3) The cost-effectiveness of diabetes mellitus management at Public Health Center 16 Lumpini was more than King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital was. There were 10,655.99 and 20,522.39 baht/case disease controllability, respectively. Due to the hypertension disease management, there was the fact that Public Health Center was also more than King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital as the same as the diabetes mellitus management was. There were 3255.23 and 5,301.11 baht/case disease controllability, respectively. Public Health center, therefore, is considered to be an efficient place in cases of chronic disease with non-complicated patients more than teaching hospital does because Public Health center was more cost-effectiveness of chronic disease management than teaching hospital does. Thus, having the primary care unit at Public Health Center should be more appropriated than having the primary care unit at teaching hospital or tertiary hospital.

title: Analysis of cigarette demand of the industrial workers

description: The main goal of this research was to study the factors which will lead to decrease the smoking prevalence rate. Since smoking is a vital problem with which most people feel concerned,especially due to its widely known adverse effects to health, various smoking control measures have been supported by the Thai government and many private organizations. Some of these control measures have included issuing legal measures to discourage smoking and holding anti-smoking campaigns. Yet, smoking is still a major problem these days, despite many new regulations. This study concentrates on analyzing the significant factors that effect on the probability of continue to smoke, demand for cigarettes of smokers and the probability of smoking of workers. The research has been conducted by surveying 378 industrial workers from eight industries in Bang Khun Thian district, Bangkok Metropolis. In order to determine the significant factors affecting the cigarette demand, the collected data were analyzed by the ordinary least square. The binary logistic regression was also applied to find out the significant factors affecting the probability of continue tosmoke and the probability of cigarette smoking. The analysis results provide some useful information to the government for creating effective regulation to reduce the smoking prevalence rate. The study showed that a 1% increase in the degree of disease awareness can induce a 2.4% decrease in the demand for cigarettes. On the other side, a 1% increase in work hour leads to a 0.5% increase in cigarette demand. Moreover, the longer smokers have been smoking, the less probability of quitting smoking in the future. Unfortunately, for industrial workers, the price mechanism does not work. Simply raising the price of cigarettes does little to reduce the amount of cigarettes smoked by them. Moreover, the income is not a significant factor. But result indicates that highly paidworkers have less probability of cigarette smoking than the lowly paid workers. However, the difference is very small. Finally, it should be added that all of the nonsmokers questioned havedefinitely decided not try to smoke in the future because they have recognized that cigarette smoking causes many diseases. However, it should be noted that this study was completed within a limited time, so it was impossible to interview all workers in every factory. It would be recommended that future studies cover other industrial areas, and with more collected information, the results would be more accurateand insightful.

title: Environmental management of Japanese companies in Thailand : the case of electrical and electronics industries

description: To focus on environmental management of Japanese enterprises in Thailand, including supplier and assembly companies. The industry researched is the electric and electronics industry. This research has three objectives 1) to describe the environmental management practice of Japanese companies in Thailand as a comparison with the companies operated in Japan ; 2) to examine what are the important factors for Japanese companies to start and keep implementing environmental management in Thailand ; and 3) to study the impact of implementing environmental management on competitiveness of Japanese companies. The method used in this study is descriptive analysis based on interviews to companies' executives or person being in charge of environmental department by using the questionnaire. Moreover, three hypotheses are tested in this study, which are cost reduction hypothesis, pollution haven hypothesis and competitiveness hypothesis. In terms of first objective, the practices of environmental management by Japanese companies in Thailand have improved. There is no company who think Thailand is pollution haven because of the lax environmental laws and standards. Regarding with second objective, the important factor to implement and keep environmental management is Thai Environmental Laws and regulations for Japanese companies. The requirement from trading partners is also important factor for the companies. With regards to the third objective, every company can enhance the competitiveness through environmental management practices. The differentiation focusing on the improvement of production process is the dominant advantage, not cost reduction, among the companies researched.

title: Socio-economic factors affecting nutritional status among children under five years old in Vuthu district, Thai Binh province, Vietnam in 2004

description: To determine socio-economic factors affecting nutritional status of children in Vuthu district, Thai Binh province of Vietnam in 2004. Three hundred and ten children under five years old were evaluated about nutritional status and their families were interviewed based on questionnaire to collect the information about household size, number of children in each household, parent education, parent work load, head of households, income and sources of income, food expenditure and price for representative food products. Ordinary least square (OLS) method was applied to estimate the semi log-linear regression to identify factors affecting nutritional status of children. Additional cluster analysis was also used to clarify relationship between individual factors with the nutritional status of children. Prevalence of underweight children in the district was 24.8%. It is still in high level according to WHO categorizes. There were 3.5% of children overweight. Income was the important factor affecting nutritional status of the children. The higher income the households the better nourished the children were. At monthly income per capita less than 236,092 VND, keeping ether characteristics in average, the child in the household could be underweight. However, increasing in income also leaded children facing to overweight situation, at monthly income per capita great than 267,428 VND, keeping other characteristics in average, the child in that household could be overweight. Mother education level and father working time had positive impact to nutritional status of children but mother working time and household size had negative impact to nutritional status of children. There was alarming that overweight children were often in the households with high education level of mothers or/and fathers, high monthly income per capital, or few working time of the mothers per day. Increasing income of people and eliminating poor households may reduce underweight prevalence of children. Increasing education level, knowledge and awareness of mothers in child health are may help increase the nutritional status of children better. Social mobilization in education participation should become strong local government policies in order to encourage people attending to school. Content of child health education, information and communication should not only focus on preventing underweight children but also proper feeding to prevent overweight children. Small family model may contribute in reducing underweight prevalence of children.

title: The South Asian free trade area : an analysis of policy options for Sri Lanka

description: South Asia was slow to take up the issues of regional economic cooperation, although SAARC was established in 1985 and the creation of the SAFTA remains a widely discussed policy issue in this region. Recently, there has been a proposal, mainly from the business community, to initiate bilateral free trade agreements among the SAARC member countries, particularly with India. In the case of Sri Lanka, for example, its support for the SAFTA was prompted largely by the desire to gain access to the Indian market, an objective which was already achieved under the ILFTA. There is also a proposal to enter into a bilateral trade agreement with Bangladesh. Hence, the benefits that Sri Lanka could gain as a member of the SAFTA is considered as a debatable policy issue. This study compares the impacts of different trade policy options on Sri Lanka using GTAP Version 6 (Database 2001) to determine the impacts on output, employment, welfare and trade. The simulation results indicated that the multilateral trade liberalization is the best trade policy outcome for the Sri Lankan economy. The South Asian Customs Union ensures the next highest welfare for Sri Lanka, followed in order by the SAFTA and the ILFTA. However, the proposed Sri Lanka-Bangladesh FTA cid not reflect significant welfare gains to both trading partners. Furthermore, it was determined that the SAFTA can be formed without having significant trade diversion effects. Moreover, from the results, it was revealed that Sri Lanka's manufacturing sector is benefiting more than the agricultural sector under all of the trade liberalization scenarios. Therefore, the study recommended among different trade policy options under the regionalistic approach that Sri Lanka should instead focus on implementing the SAFTA, as the SAFTA ensures the highest welfare to Sri Lanka among the regional trade policy options considered in the study. In addition, the ILFTA can also be continued to strengthen the SAFTA. The next stage of the SAFTA is transforming the SAFTA into South Asian Customs Union, which is already a component of the agreement. However, this trade policy option is to be negotiated. Finally, it could be appeared that the SAFTA needs still to find its linkages to the multilateral trade liberalization.
