The challenge of this section is to select special populations with needs not otherwise covered by the rest of the textbook. The barriers encountered in the design of gender-specific programs, the special needs of seniors, LGBT -specific programs, the health of physicians, and increase in substance use in people displaced by conflicts across the world, and in those affected by disasters, all are addressed in the section. The section also highlights the international paucity of statistical data related to 96 special needs groups as compared to the available general population data. A systematic research effort will be required.

Abstract
The challenge of this section is to select special populations with needs not otherwise covered by the rest of the textbook. The barriers encountered in the design of gender-specific programs, the special needs of seniors, LGBT -specific programs, the health of physicians, and increase in substance use in people displaced by conflicts across the world, and in those affected by disasters, all are addressed in the section. The section also highlights the international paucity of statistical data related to 96 special needs groups as compared to the available general population data. A systematic research effort will be required.
