Background: Lack of information about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is associated with increased risk for acquiring such diseases. Our aim was to assess the level of information about STDs obtained from selected sources and its association with socio-demographic characteristics among undergraduate students in Tirana, Albania.
Methods: An anonymous questionnaire survey was carried out among 729 undergraduate students (76% women) at the University of Tirana in October and November 2002.

The aim of the present study was to examine available human medical resources in primary care and identify possible inequalities regarding the distribution of general practitioners in Albania between 2000 and 2004.
Methods: With census data, we investigated the degree of inequality by calculating relative inequality indices.
