摘要:

College students read either pro or con passages about oral contraceptives. All passages contained the same statistical information, differing only in the way the information was interpreted. The passages were attributed either to a traditional physician, nontraditional physician, traditional magazine, or nontraditional magazine. Subjects in the pro condition were more favorable towards oral contraceptive use and subjects in the con condition were more opposed to oral contraceptive use than they were before reading the stimulus materials, thus suggesting that the same statistical information can be used persuasively to argue either for or against oral contraceptives. Males were significantly more likely to change their attitudes towards oral contraceptives than females.

摘要:

Advances in microsurgery provide physicians with the opportunity to correct malformations of the fetus prior to birth. However, these techniques are being developed at a time when the legal status of the unborn is unclear and the rights of pregnant women to determine the nature of their care are not universally recognized. This paper examines some of the social implications of medical and surgical treatment of the fetus. In attempting to clarify the rights of pregnant women in relationship to the rights of the fetus, the authors examine the law related to abortion and the protection of the fetus after it has achieved viability. Ambiguities in the legal interpretations of viability, coupled with societal ambivalence over the rights of women have resulted in confusion. Several cases have been reported in which the courts overrode an otherwise competent woman's refusal of surgery in the interest of the unborn fetus. Thus, legal precedent exists for the judicial suspension of the rights of pregnant women to consent or refuse medical or surgical treatment. This trend in the law may reflect more conservative values regarding the rights of women. At the same time, the benefits to the fetus remains unexamined outside of a medical frame of reference.

摘要:

A study of weight gain and dietary adequacy among female prisoners was conducted by studying inmate weight changes, nutritional values of prison diets and consumption patterns in a jail cafeteria. Inmates were found to incur significant weight gains (Mean = 14 lbs.); their diets were inadequate nutritively, and were consumed in such a way as to exacerbate the inadequacies. The authors conclude that some of these problems could be ameliorated by changing ingredients, preparation, and the role of food in the prisoner's life, although for certain categories of prisoners with specific health conditions (e.g., pregnancy), adequate diets will require major adjustments in jail and prison food management.

摘要:

This study lookcd at characteristics of employment which are related to positive health among women. Aspects of employment which may account for health status differences between employed women and those not in the labor force were also studied. The subjects were 1140 adult females, aged 18 through 64. Medical record data covering seven ycars of inpatient and outpatient services were linked with survey data on the respondents. For all ages, women employed in jobs with a higher degree of social support and integration had better health than women in jobs with little social support and integration through work. The findings suggest that the social support and integration gained through work is a salient aspect of employment which contributes to health status differences between employed women and those not participating in the labor force.

摘要:

This study was designed to prospectively study the effect of health education on the recurrence rate of urinary tract infections in female outpatients. Thirty-four volunteers were randomly assigned to either an experimental education group or a control group. Controls were offered routine patient information provided by practitioners at the outpatient clinic. Members of the experimental group participated in an educational session which addressed urinary tract infections, its risk factors, and behavioral changes which might reduce its recurrence. At follow-up three months after the educational session, the experimental group had a statistically significant (p<.05) reduction in thc recurrence of urinary tract infections.
