Mobility Limitations and Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Attendance at religious services by persons with functional disabilities is related to subsequent improvement in functioning.1 One conceptual model for such relationships between religion and improved outcomes is “religious coping,” ranging from general commitment to religious beliefs to application of religious beliefs to specific personal difficulties.2 One application of religious beliefs to personal difficulty is using prayer as complementary…

Trends in routine screening examinations
Data from the 1973 and 1982 National Health Interview Surveys reveal increased use of routine medical examinations between the two survey dates. The proportion of adults age 40 or older who ever had a glaucoma test increased by 50 per cent. Other large increases were in the proportion of adults age 40 or older who ever had an electrocardiogram and in the proportions of women age 17 or older who ever had breast examinations or Pap smears
Maternal age and overdue conceptions
Data from the National Survey of Family Growth, Cycles I and II, are used to describe the level and trend in the incidence of births resulting from pregnancies which began later than desired. Overdue births were about 12 per cent of the total in 1973-75, and the trend was upward, especially among mothers over 25. Pregnancies 12 months or more overdue were more common among mothers over 30 than younger mothers. Analysis of waiting times to concept…

Religion and fertility
Jones and Westoff (1979) reported a study offertility trends among white women in intact first marriages. They found that the fertility of white Catholic and non-Catholic wives was converging. The differential had all but disappeared, as had the differential by frequency of communion among Catholic wives. We replicated their study using data from the 1976 National Survey of Family Growth. We found that the fertility of the two religious groups wa…

Religious Affiliation and the Fertility of Married Couples
Using the 1973 and 1976 National Surveys of Family Growth--nationally representative samples totalling 14000 married women--a wide range of estimates of the fertility of married couples in religious groups in the United States is presented. These are the most recent the most inclusive or the only national estimates of these parameters. Children everborn total births expected and wanted pregnancies/woman for currently married women 15-44 years of …

Coitus-related cervical cancer risk factors
Data from nationally representative surveys conducted in 1965 and 1976 are presented which describe differences between women of different religious and racial groups with respect to the prevalence of primary marriage and use of barrier methods of contraception. These practices were significantly less likely among Black women and significantly more likely among Jewish women than among comparison groups, which is consistent with the hypothesis tha…
Family Planning Services from Multiple Provider Types
Data from the National Survey of Family Growth Cycle II conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics in 1976 were used to describe the relationship between the number of types of family planning service providers in a community the percentage of women who had family planning visits and the rate of mistimed or unwanted pregnancy. It was hypothesized that: 1) Women in communities with more or better family planning clinics would be more l…

Screening for cervical cancer, 1973-1976
Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle II, the per cent of women without a Pap test in 1973--76 is shown according to race, residence, and income, updating an earlier report based on 1973 data. Poor women and nonmetropolitan women continued to be significantly less likely than other women to have had a Pap test

Migrant-Native Differences in Housing Quality
Kingsley Davis (1975:85) concluded his recent analysis of Cities: Problems and Options with these words: Development without pros? perity, urbanization without opulence, without sophistication, without urbanity?that is apparently the path. Davis was reiterating the gloomy view, first expressed by him nearly two decades earlier (Davis and Golden, 1956), and now shared by many others, that the urbanization of Asia contributes little to its developm…

Do Family Ties Reduce Mortality? Evidence from the United States, 1966-1968
National survey data are used to compute mortality rates for persons in different living arrangements. Mortality is lowerfor married persons than for nonmarried persons; lower for married persons with children than for those without children; and lower for nonmarried persons who are household heads than for those who are not heads. Two approaches are considered: (1) social processes select healthy persons to the statuses of spouse, parent, and ho…

Public Welfare and Family Planning
The “Brood Sow” myth states that welfare mothers define welfare economic status favorably, are extremely active sexually, refrain from using contraceptives, want to become pregnant, and become pregnant. Data from a sample of 300 welfare mothers were analyzed to test the “Brood Sow” explanation of welfare fertility. No statistically significant differences were found between respondents pregnancy intervals when on welfare and when not on welfare i…
Population size, military power, and Antinatal policy
A causal model. relating population size, economic development, military power and antinatal population policy is tested using data from 83 developing nations. The statistical findings are interpreted as supporting two hypotheses: (1) population size is a major determinant of military power; and (2) military power is a minor determinant of anti-natal population policy

Size and Growth as Determinants of Administrative-Production Ratios in Organizations
Previous research has usually found a negative relationship between organization size and the ratio of administrative to production workers. That research has almost always relied on cross-section data, so that the effects of growth over time could not be considered separately from the effects of size at one point in time. This study uses data on U.S. school districts at two points in time to investigate the interrelationships of size, growth and…
Familial Satisfaction, Birth Order, and Fertility Values
A theory is presented to account for the tendency of family size to be the same in successive generations of the same family. It is hypothesized that size preferences for the family of procreation vary directly with the size of the family of orientation, that the association is greater among women who felt close to their families of orientation, and among firstborn women. Interview and questionnaire data from 389 college women support these hypot…

Dissonance-Congruence and the Perception of Public Opinion
The discrepancy between prevailing public opinion and what various community members estimate as public opinion has traditionally been explained through either the social or psychological characteristics of respondents. In this paper we attempt to account for degrees of public-opinion awareness through a model based on the relationship among an individual's opinion, his cognitive set, and the majority opinion of public members. A theory of imbala…
