OBJECTIVE This paper aimed to prove that PHS positively affects agricultural poverty reduction indirectly. METHOD The study employed previous model of Path Analysis. Three-steps regression was run by standardizing data using Z-score method and clustering variables into exogenous, intermediate and endogenous. The research was conducted in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia by interviewing 28.20% of total farmers households in the province. RESULTS The results show that the better access to public health services, the higher the household income will be. Thus, if PHS is nearer, the less time and money will be spent to travel, then the more household income at hand will be saved for agricultural input purchasing. In other words, distance to public health services (PHS) appears to be a crucial part of the findings. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that, the better the access to PHS, the more household income will be and in turn it will alleviate poverty of smallholders (agriculture sector, in broad sense). CONCLUSION It can be concluded that public health services can help agricultural poverty alleviation though indirectly. OBJECTIVE This study explores how menopausal women perceived supports provided by their husbands. METHODOLOGY Total of 13 menopausal women recruited using a combination of purposive and snowball techniques from two sources, tertiary hospital and local communities in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia.

RESULTS Five (5) themes have emerged which comprises of emotional, instrumental, appraisal, guidance, and sexual supports. One of which was a new theme (sexual intimacy support) that had not been existed previously in other literature reviews. CONCLUSION Majority of menopausal women perceived the supports provided by their husband were negative, rather than positive supports that they had hoped. These findings suggest that an education program tool for husbands as a support person is much needed to ensure women walk through the menopause phase in a more meaningful life.
