Cervical Cancer Risk as a Predictor of Pap Smear Use in Rural North Carolina
Risk for invasive cervical cancer is reported to be higher in rural areas than urban ones, and cervical cancer‐related mortality is higher in rural women due to poorer utilization of preventive services and subsequent presentation at late stages of the disease. This cross‐sectional study examined the relationship between prevalence of risk factors for cervical cancer and the degree of compliance with risk‐appropriate screening guidelines for cerv…
Psychosocial Factors Related to Cervical Screening among Lumbee Women
Health education to increase screening for cervical cancer among Lumbee Indian Women in North Carolina
Although age-adjusted mortality rates from cancer among Native-Americans are generally lower than for the US population as a whole, cervical cancer mortality rates are higher. This report presents results from a National Cancer Institute-funded health education program conducted among the Lumbee tribe in North Carolina that was designed to increase the proportion of women, age 18 and older, who receive Pap smears to screen for cervical cancer. Th…
Correlates of tobacco use among Native American women in western North Carolina
OBJECTIVES: This study examined correlates of tobacco use among Cherokee women. METHODS: Prevalence rates were analyzed for 614 randomly selected Eastern Band Cherokee women. RESULTS: The prevalence rates for current smokeless tobacco use and smoking were 8% and 39%, respectively. Smokeless tobacco use correlates included lower education and having consulted an Indian healer. Smoking correlates included younger age, alcohol use, no yearly physica…
The Effect of a Preterm Birth Prevention Program in 17 Rural and Three Urban Counties in Northwest North Carolina
The results of a program of low birthweight prevention in 17 rural (20,727 births) and three urban counties (15,561 births) for calendar years 1985 and 1986 are described. Records for women in the program were matched with birth certificate data by computer. Rural and urban women in and out of the program were compared by race on the following risk factors: age less than 18 years, unmarried, education less than 12 years, Medicaid recipient, not W…
A comparison of women in and out of a prematurity prevention project in a North Carolina perinatal care region
We assessed a prematurity prevention project in a North Carolina region with 21,000 annual births in terms of its impact on low birthweight. Project records were matched to birth certificates in order to compare characteristics of women in and out of the program who received prenatal care from private providers. A logistic regression analysis, in which the effects of race, marital status, age, and other risk factors for low birthweight were stati…
The relationship between weight-height indices and the triceps skinfold measure among children age 5 to 12
This study examines several weight for height indices--Quetelet's index W/H2, W/H, and Rohrer's index W/H3--for their appropriateness in estimating adiposity among young children. Data were obtained for a sample of 1,668 children age 5-12 residing in Forsyth County, North Carolina. Although W/H2 was found to be the most useful of these indices, the results suggest that no index, including the tricep skinfold measure, can be considered completely …
A Comparison of Height, Weight, and Triceps Skinfold Thickness of Children Ages 5-12 in Michigan (1978), Forsyth County North Carolina (1978), and Hanes I (1971-1974)
Height, weight, and triceps skinfold measurements were made on 1,668 Forsyth County, North Carolina students ages 5-12 during 1978. These data were compared to a representative sample of Michigan children taken during the same year and to their United States counterparts in HANES I (1971-74). The North Carolina children more closely resembled their US counterparts than did the Michigan group, casting doubt on the secular trend toward heavier chil…
Racial differences in knowledge of cancer: A pilot study
An assessment of Tel-Med utilization by physicians and dentists
A mail survey of physicians and dentists assessed their knowledge of Tel-Med; their use of it in the practice setting; and their opinion of its potential value in practice. Data suggests that both physicians and dentists regard Tel-Med's potential as high and small percentages of both groups have actually used Tel-Med in their practices. However, both groups are concerned over the potential for unsound self-diagnosis
Use and reported effectiveness of Tel-Med: A telephone health information system
In January 1977, a Telephone Information System (Tel-Med) was begun in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. A survey was conducted to determine how Tel-Med was meeting the community's need for health information and to see if program objectives were being met. Respondents in 3,005 randomly selected households were interviewed by telephone to determine user characteristics, user motivation, action taken, knowledge and information gained, and system impr…
Characteristics of Black Women in Male- and Female-Headed Households
Recent evidence indicates that approximately 30% of the black households in the United States are headed by women (Price, 1969; Hill, 1971). This figure is nearly three times as great for blacks as it is for whites, but the fact remains that female-headed households are still a clear minority among blacks. Nevertheless, this point is often overlooked and female household headship has been cited as both the cause and the effect of the disadvantage…
Some Consequences of Illegitimacy in a Sample of Black Women
This research compares southern black women who have had illegitimate births with those who have had only legitimate births, with regard to their attitudes about the desired and ideal number of children, pregnancy, marriage, and abortion. Meaningful differences were found, by legitimacy status, for number of children desired, attitude toward pregnancy, and attitude toward marriage. The analysis suggests that it is the absence of a legal spouse ra…
Factors associated with utilization of family planning clinics in Costa Rica
A modified cluster sample of 1498 women aged 15-49 who had experienced at least one pregnancy in areas served by 6 family planning clinics in Costa Rica was studied in 1970 to identify demographic social sexual experience/knowledge and psychological factors related to clinic utilization. Older women who as a group have the highest parity were less likely to be clinic attenders. White women in urban and rural areas had higher rates of attendance. …
Early Sexual Experiences and Pregnancy Wastage in Two Cultures
This study has examined the relationship between pregnancy wastage and four early sexual experience variables. Data from two countries were utilized for the analysis; a sample of southern, black, low-income women in the United States, and a sample of primarily lowincome women in Costa Rica. The analysis indicated that age at first marriage, age at first intercourse, and age first learned of contraception have little relationship to pregnancy wast…
The Value Stretch Hypothesis: Family Size Preferences in a Black Population
Data on the family size preferences and reproductive behavior of 990 black females were examined to determine the utility of Rodman's concept of a “lower-class value stretch” for understanding reproductive goals and behavior. An hypothesized inverse relationship between a measure of the range of acceptable number of children (ANC) and indicators of social class was clearly supported in the case of current social class (income level and education)…

Trends in Educational Homogamy
Trends in educational homogamy have been examined using the 1/1000 census sample for 1960. The general trend has been one of declining educational homogamy for both white and nonwhite couples. The decline has ended for white couples but has continued through the period 1956-60 for nonwhite couples. The changing character of the educational structure suggests two major trends for the future. First, there should be an increase in the percentage of …
