摘要:

To determine if differences exist in medical practice between male and female physicians, data were obtained from the biennial questionnaire required of all physicians in California in order to maintain their license. Gender data were analyzed in relation to a variety of practice variables. Differentials in medical and surgical specialization, practice settings, hours spent in primary and secondary specialties, primary professional activities, and geographic location were all studied. It was concluded that significant differences were found between male and female physicians in many of the practice variables studied. Implications of findings for the future recruitment of women into medical training programs, the national health personnel or "manpower" scene, and the U.S. health care delivery system are discussed.

摘要:

In the 1970s. the United States population experienced a notable drop in mortality rates, after several decades of relative stability. Has this increased longevity been enjoyed equally by males and females, so that sex mortality differentials are essentially the same as before? Or has one sex benefited more than the other? This paper focuses on the mortality experience of males and females between 1970 and 1977, by age and by leading causes of death. The 1970-1977 data are compared with two earlier periods (1920-1950 and 1950-1970) to show how recent trends contrast with previous ones. Overall, the recent data suggest a new situation for sex mortality differentials. In prior decades, females' longevity advantage over males increased. This continuing increase appeared for virtually all ages and leading causes. But in the 1970s, the increaseslowed. Females' situation relative to males actually worsened for several age groups (under 1, 55-64) and for several leading causes (conditions of early infancy, bronchitis/ emphysema/asthma, homicide, peptic ulcer). Moreover, the pace of females' gains for heart diseases and cancer has slowed, and relative gains have stopped for cerebrovascular diseases and accidents. Reasons for recent changes in sex mortality differentials and possible future trends are discussed.

摘要:

This article discusses the history of Long Island's feminist health organization, The Women's Health Alliance of Long Island, Inc. This community- based women's group was formed in 1975 by a group of educators, practitioners, students, and interested laywomen who were concerned about health care for women in New York City and Long Island. Today, services include a major Women and Health Conference held each spring, a feminist health education center, several smaller presentations for specific groups, and related projects. Throughout our history, we have faced difficult decisions regarding our functions, goals, and structure. This article addresses the means we have used to mediate these decisions in order to continue our programs and to open our voluntary agency, Healthouse, which functions as a resource and educational center for women.

摘要:

In the past several years, a new trend has emerged where women in in- creasingly growing numbers are becoming hesitant to accept the risks associated with hormonal and invasive methods of birth control. It is as part of this trend that a revival of sorts is occurring with the cervical cap, a form of birth control with roots which precede recorded history and which, in its modern form, was widely advocated in late 19th and early 20th century Europe. Based on the prin- ciple of occlusion, the cervical cap appears effective and risk-free, both vital concerns to women of all centuries. Women's health activists and organizations have been in the forefront of this revival. Two of the first organizations t o take an active interest in making the cap available were the New Hampshire Feminist Health Center inconcord, New Hampshire, and theEmmaGoldman Women's Health Clinic in Iowa City, Iowa. The National Women's Health Network, a national organization based in Washington, D.C., has also been an active advo- cate on the cervical cap's behalf.
