Associations among Stress, Anxiety, Depression, and Emotional Intelligence among Veterinary Medicine Students
Background: Veterinary students are faced with immense pressures and rigors during school. These pressures have contributed to elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and depression (SAD) among veterinary students relative to the general population. One proposed concept to help students combat SAD is that of emotional intelligence (EI). We explored the relationship between EI and SAD among veterinary students at a college in the Southeast United Stat…
Psychometric Analysis of a Scale to Assess Particularized Trust in Families and Community- And Congregation-Based Groups
The Relationships in Community Groups Trust Scale (RCG-TS) is an 11-item questionnaire to assess particularized trust in 3 groups: community- and congregation-based groups and families. It was developed using a multimethod approach employing in-depth interviews and qualitative analysis, followed by quantitative psychometric evaluation for construct, convergent, and concurrent validity and internal reliability. Means were compared between groups. …
Conceptualizations of Postpartum Depression by Public-Sector Health Care Providers in Mexico
In this article we describe the knowledge frameworks that 61 physicians, nurses, social workers, and psychologists from five public-sector health care facilities in Mexico used to conceptualize postpartum depression. We also demonstrate how providers applied social and behavioral antecedents in their conceptualizations of postpartum depression. Using grounded theory, we identify two frameworks that providers used to conceptualize postpartum depre…
Disparities in Health Care Utilization by Race Among Teenagers and Young Adults With Muscular Dystrophy
BACKGROUND: For people with muscular dystrophy (MD) health care access is crucial and utilization is expected to be high. A multidisciplinary approach is needed for optimal management of symptoms of this rare condition. Regular primary care, specialty care, therapy, and medicine use can improve quality of care and reduce need for emergency treatment and hospitalization. We analyzed health insurance and administrative data to test for racial dispa…
Psychometric Analysis of a Scale to Assess Norms of Reciprocity of Social Support in Community-Based and Congregation-Based Groups
Reciprocity, a core component of social capital, is rarely theorized or measured leaving the relationship between reciprocity and health ambiguous. Historically, reciprocity measures have not been used in the context they were designed causing measurement error. This multi-phased study was designed to develop and validate a reciprocity measure for formal and informal groups within communities and congregations as part of a more comprehensive soci…

Does supported employment work
Providing employment-related services, including supported employment through job coaches, has been a priority in federal policy since the enactment of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act in 1984. We take advantage of a unique panel data set of all clients served by the South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs between 1999 and 2005 to investigate whether job coaching leads to stable employment in co…

The Roles of Abstinence and Contraception in Declining Pregnancy Rates
Santelli et al. appear to have underestimated the contribution of current sexual activity to declining pregnancy rates among adolescents aged 15 to 17 years. The authors calculated a contraceptive risk index (the weighted average of estimated typical failure rates for contraceptive methods reportedly used at last intercourse) assuming this index accurately reflects the risk of pregnancy among sexually active adolescents. But a review of pregnancy…
Screening for STDS and Treating Infected Partners
St. Lawrence et al. report that most physicians do not screen their patients for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or adequately ensure treatment of the sexual partners of infected patients.1 These findings seem to indicate a need for better education of physicians regarding guidelines for screening, treatment, and reporting in addition to the important connection between clinical practice and public health efforts. In my experience, many phys…
