Efficient policy frameworks coupled with prudent urban management are deemed as reasonable balance to environmental benefits. Research reveals urban areas in Ghana are confronted with the rapid loss of natural resources as urbanization increases. This synthesis report examines the ramifications of major issues faced by the Greater Accra region based on existing literature by (i) highlighting contemporary environmental problems in Accra (ii) probing into human-induced and natural factors that alterate environmental harmony in the study area (iii) discussing measures on safeguarding the environment through a sustainable approach in Accra, and (iv) presenting policy implications of environmental problems in Accra. Findings indicated urbanization, poverty and inappropriate urban planning systems influence environmental degradation in the study domain. Anthropogenic activities such as pollution and natural hazards like: flo...

In spite of the remarkable efforts made in improving contraceptive prevalence rate in Ghana there are still substantial constrains to the number of users of contraceptive in the country. The paper considers some selected socio-demographic variables such as education, knowledge of access to contraceptive method, knowledge of method, employment status, marital status, region of residence, fertility preference and ethnicity. All the variables were found to be statistically significant. However, knowledge of access to contraceptive method was the most important variable. It is recommended that contraceptive providers must take keen interest in periodic sensitization of both users and the general public about the general benefits of contraceptive methods. Easy accessible avenues must be created to address complains in order to reduce the unmet needs of women.

In addition, questions have been raised with regards to the consistency of integration approaches, the benchmark for choice of integration approach and the proficiency of practitioners. This article examines the reasons for integration using a systematic review to evaluate the triumphs made since the inception of psychotherapy integration. The authors' advocate for Miller, Duncan, and Hubble‘s practice-based evidence approach one of the appropriate innovative way of improving client retention and outcome. To us, this approach will enable the clinician have a better stand in therapy as scientist-practitioners.
