    A Jacobson, A M Jacobson et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1994

    An onset cohort of children and adolescents with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and their parents were studied. Aspects of family environment were evaluated at study inception, and their influence on the initial level of, and change in, glycemic control over 4 years was examined. Family measures of expressiveness, cohesiveness, and conflict were linked to differences in the longitudinal pattern of glycemic control. In particular, the …

  • Aids, HIV infection, and illicit drug use within inner-city families and social networks

    Anitra Pivnick, A Jacobson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1994Cited by: 7References: 10

    OBJECTIVES. Drug use is commonly depicted and treated as an individual problem.

METHODS. Social network charts and structured interviews were administered to 126 women (predominantly African American an…

  • Psychosocial correlates of mild visual loss

    Lawson R Wulsin, A Jacobson et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1991

    Studies of the psychosocial aspects of visual impairment have emphasized the effects of blindness, giving relatively little attention to the effects of mild or partial visual impairment. Consequently, we know little about when in the course of visual loss significant psychosocial dysfunction develops. To address this question, we assessed psychosocial functioning at three times over eight months in 31 adults with proliferative diabetic retinopath…

  • Reproductive Decisions among HIV-infected, Drug-Using Women: The Importance of Mother-Child Coresidence

    Open AccessAnitra Pivnick, A Jacobson et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly1991Cited by: 10References: 8

    In this article we examine the influence of personal, social, and cultural factors, in particular continuity of mother-child coresidence, on the reproductive decisions of HIV-positive, women drug users. Among these women, decisions to terminate a pregnancy were found to be most significantly associated with continuity of mother-child coresidence. We explore the policy implications of this finding

  • Psychologic stress and glycemic control: A comparison of patients with and without proliferative diabetic retinopathy

    A Jacobson, A M Jacobson et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1985

    Using a case/control design, patients with (cases) and without (controls) proliferative diabetic retinopathy were compared using three psychosocial measures: life events, psychiatric symptomatology, and ego development. Cases reported significantly more symptoms. They also demonstrated a modest and significant correlation of negative life events with HgbA1c that was not shown in the controls. When the relationship of life events with glycemic con…

  • The craniofacial pattern of the Lengua Indians of Paraguay

    Open AccessA Jacobson, Charles Brian Preston et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1977Cited by: 4References: 7

    Lateral cephalometric headfilms of 30 male and 30 female Lengua Indians taken in the Chaco area of Paraguay were compared with a sample of 23 male and 25 female South African Caucasoids with excellent occlusion. The most obvious difference noted between the two population groups was the degree of prognathism evident in the Lengua. This was attributed to the generally shorter anterior cranial base in the latter group rather than to the size or for…
