Program sustainability of a community-based intervention to prevent falls among older Australians
Multi-strategy interventions have been demonstrated to prevent falls among older people, but studies have not explored their sustainability. This paper investigates program sustainability of Stay on Your Feet (SOYF), an Australian multi-strategy falls prevention program (1992-1996) that achieved a significant reduction in falls-related hospital admissions. A series of surveys assessed recall, involvement and current falls prevention activities, 5…
Adolescent reproductive events and subsequent breast cancer risk
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the relationship between reproductive events during adolescence and subsequent breast cancer risk. METHODS: Logistic regression models used self-reported data from 862 case patients and 790 controls in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study. RESULTS: Miscarriage, induced abortion, and full-term pregnancy before 20 years of age were not associated with breast cancer. Among premenopausal women, breast-feeding before 20…
Nicotine withdrawal medications
As an active researcher in the tobacco dependency field for nearly 20 years, I have seen our knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of tobacco dependence grow by leaps and bounds. As our knowledge into basic behavioural and physiologic mechanisms has grown, so has our ability to improve treatment tools. Nonetheless, although we have ever more effective tools available which patients can use to help them stop smoking, there is no magic …
The influence of social and political violence on the risk of pregnancy complications
BACKGROUND. Events in Chile provided an opportunity to evaluate health effects associated with exposure to high levels of social and political violence. METHODS. Neighborhoods in Santiago, Chile, were mapped for occurrences of sociopolitical violence during 1985-86, such as bomb threats, military presence, undercover surveillance, and political demonstrations. Six health centers providing prenatal care were then chosen at random: three from "high…
Experimental investigations of the relations between mood and intrusive unwanted cognitions
Two experiments were carried out in order to test the hypothesis that unwanted intrusive thoughts are difficult to remove during dysphoria. In the first experiment, 32 people who experienced unwanted thoughts were induced to feel happy or sad, and then asked to remove selected intrusive or neutral thoughts. The hypothesis was supported, but as the mood‐induction procedure was felt to be unsatisfactory, a second study was undertaken. The substitut…
