*    GENDER ROLE, SEX, TV AND NATIONAL HEALTH WEEKS
 
In this issue there is an è la carte menu of contributions. In Speakers’ Corner Chung and Muntaner explore the typologies of the welfare state in respect of global health and identify an emerging challenge. (page 10.1136/jech.2006.057778)

In Public Health Past and Present, Bryder gets to grips with the debates about cervical screening and argues that historical analysis provides policy makers with an awareness of the social and political nature of public health interventions (page 10.1136/jech.2006.059246); while in Theory and Methods Phillips explores the issues involved in measuring the health effects of gender (page 10.1136/jech.2007.062158) and Kivimäki and colleagues ask whether the inclusion of older employees in a cohort study of job strain and ischaemic disease dilutes the association. (page 10.1136/jech.2007.063578)

Evidenced-based policy and practice findings include:
