Meeting Family and Military Needs through Military Child Care
This article summarizes results from a child care survey of military families conducted by the RAND Corporation in 2004 and draws policy implications for the military child care system. The article describes the military child care system, discusses the policy objectives of the system, and summarizes survey results that clarify the degree to which the Department of Defense is meeting its child care goals. The authors find evidence that despite it…

Physician Response to Prenatal Substance Exposure
Objective and Subjective Measures of the Quality of Managed Care in Nursing Homes
BACKGROUND: The number of nursing home (NH) residents enrolled in managed care plans (HMO) will increase, and there is concern that the quality of their medical care may be compromised by cost-containment pressures. In this study, we evaluated the medical care of residents enrolled in 3 health maintenance organizations (HMO) that developed specific long-term care programs. OBJECTIVES: To compare the medical care received by NH residents enrolled …
Investment or Overkill
This study examines whether accreditation of military child development centers (CDCs) pays off in a context of rigorous quality standards and aggressive compliance monitoring under the Military Child Care Act (MCCA) of 1989. To collect information about the value of accreditation, we reviewed accreditation standards and inspection documents, fielded a military-wide survey of child development directors, and conducted one-on-one interviews at fou…
Military Child Care
This study investigates the problems facing military child care and makes recommendations about how to improve the effectiveness of the military child care system. To collect information about military child care, we interviewed Department of Defense (DoD) policymakers and people in some way connected with child care on 16 military installations. We found that due to multiple and often inconsistent child care goals, the provision of services was …

The Role of Structural Factors in Limiting Women's Institutional Participation
The values and beliefs that we hold as a nation have created social structures and institutions whose norms and rules create barriers to women's full and equal participation. Until recently it was generally agreed that it was up to the individual woman to deal with these barriers and find personal solutions to the often conflicting demands posed by these institutions. Increasingly these barriers are being viewed as a societal problem, and societa…
Antidemocratic Beliefs
This paper presents descriptive and analytic data about tolerance for civil liberties and dissent in the American public. Support for free speech and dissent in concrete situations is more limited than support for abstract principles, a gap explained in terms of dynamics of threat, value conflict, and cognitive dissociation. The large gap suggests that the relationship between support for abstract principles and behavior in real situations would …
Childhood Origins of Tolerance for Dissent 1
The origins of children's attitudes toward freedom of dissent were investigated using questionnaire data from 1384 children in grades 5 through 9. Political socialization of attitudes toward free speech apparently does occur during late childhood and early adolescence. Most children acquire support for the abstract principle of free speech in slogan form, without learning its concrete implications. Support for free speech in concrete instances is…
