Other features include Street Nursing, a photo essay on an outreach program in British Columbia to prevent HIV and sexually transmitted diseases; an update on what we know about the H1N1 Influenza A virus; articles on an innovative health program for farmworkers and how neighborhood environments contribute to obesity; and the second part of a two part article on conflict in the workplace.
