Maternal recall of infant feeding events is accurate
STUDY OBJECTIVE--Retrospective infant feeding data are important to the study of child and adult health patterns. The accuracy of maternal recall of past infant feeding events was examined and specifically the infant's age when breast feeding was stopped and formula feeding and solid foods were introduced. DESIGN AND SETTING--The sample consisted of Bedouin Arab women (n = 318) living in the Negev in Israel who were a part of a larger cohort part…
Seasonality of births among Bedouin Arabs residing in the Negev Desert of Israel
From 1 January 1981 to 31 December 1982 information on all births to Bedouin Arab women residing in the Negev Desert of Israel showed a previously unreported seasonal pattern. The peak season, November-February, coincided with the period of cool temperatures and the Bedouin Arab cultural seasons of winter and spring. This pattern is different from those of Jewish and Christian groups in the same region, a difference not attributable to religion a…
The forty-day rest period and infant feeding practices among Negev Bedouin Arab women in Israel
Four hundred and twelve Bedouin Arab women were interviewed within 48 hours of delivering a newborn in 1982 and two months later to examine the effect of social support during the forty-day postpartum rest period on the incidence of exclusive breast feeding at two months. Whereas the distribution of infant feeding practices at two months did not differ among women with and without support during the "forty days," the number of days of help during…
Coping With Health Services Disruption
This study examined utilization of health services during a 118-day doctors' strike. A total of 1,663 members of 423 families were home-interviewed 1 month after the beginning of the strike. A total of 39% (649 people) perceived a subjective need for health care at least once during the month preceding the interview. A total of 813 episodes of "need" were recorded. Forty-six percent of those with perceived "need" sought medical care in all episod…
