      Sørbye, Sveinung Wergeland; Gutteberg, Tore Jarl; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2010-09-18)
      Ny forskning viser at gentester for humant papillomvirus (HPV) siler ut de behandlingstrengende i langt større grad enn celleprøver. Samtidig er det grunn til å tro at mRNA-tester bør velges fremfor DNA-tester.

    • Forty years of allocated seats for Sami medical students : has preferential admission worked? 

      Gaski, Margrete; Abelsen, Birgit; Hasvold, Toralf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008)
      This article examines the effects of a special admission policy for Sami medical students in Norway. In the 1960s, public health and health care were found to be poorer in Sami communities than in the rest of Norway. There were few doctors and none of them spoke Sami. Sami school leavers found it difficult to gain admittance to medical schools. In response to this situation, the medical faculty at ...

    • Use of Health care in the main area of Sami habitation in Norway : catching up with national expenditure rates 

      Gaski, Margrete; Melhus, Marita; Deraas, Trygve Sigvart; Førde, Olav Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      For many years political and professional concerns have centred on the health service access of Norway’s modern Indigenous Sami people. Thirty years ago, a study determined that a low rate of health expenditure on Sami patients had lead to inferior health services for the Sami people, with their average consultation rate 6 times lower than the Norwegian national average. Since 1980, there have been ...
