  • Diaspora in the Countryside

    Patricia J Bush, P BushARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…2008

    History, of course, is never static, but there do seem to be periods when the pace of change accelerates dramatically. This has certainly been the case in recent Mennonite history. Traditionally a cloistered rural people, in the past century, Mennonites have witnessed the crumbling of the socio-cultural-theological walls they had erected to keep themselves immune from “worldly” influences, and outside society has come pouring in. This is a proces…

  • Alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use among fourth-grade urban schoolchildren in 1988/89 and 1990/91

    Patricia J Bush, Ronald J IannottiARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1993References: 11

    A public-school-based epidemiological survey of fourth-grade students in Washington, DC, was performed in 1988/89 (n = 4675) and 1990/91 (n = 4678). Comparisons of data for the two periods revealed that the lifetime prevalence of self-reported alcohol use, alcohol use without parental knowledge, and smoking more than a puff of cigarettes declined; marijuana use and cigarette experimentation did not. Seven variables were associated with use. Decli…

  • A Children??s Health Belief Model

    Patricia J Bush, Ronald J IannottiARTICLEMedical Care1990

    The classic Health Belief Model (HBM) was adapted to explain children's expected medicine use for five common health problems. To evaluate this Children's Health Belief Model (CHBM), 270 urban preadolescents, stratified by socioeconomic status, grade level, and sex, and their primary caretakers (93% mothers) were individually interviewed. Analyses were performed in two steps. First, regression analysis evaluated the influence of the child's prima…

  • Evaluation of a Drug Therapy Protocol in an HMO

    Patricia J Bush, David L Rabin et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1979

    Effective means of affecting physician prescribing behavior must be developed if the quality of health care is to be improved. A drug therapy protocol for otitis media, containing a rationale for drugs, doses and days of therapy by patient age, was developed by a physician panel at one site (EI) of an HMO, and implemented at both EI and a second site (EII); a third site was a control. A comparison of prescribing during two phases, before and afte…

  • Pathways to Medicine Use

    Patricia J Bush, Marian OsterweisARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…1978Cited by: 14

    Although path analysis has been used to explain physician and hospital use, it has never before been applied to medicine use. This analysis assesses direct and indirect relationships among predisposing, enabling and need-for-care factors on use ofprescribed and nonprescribed drugs. Data are drawn from 2378 adults in the Baltimore SMSA survey of the WHO study of medical care utilization. Principal findings in terms of direct effects are: females a…

  • Who??s Using Nonprescribed Medicines

    Patricia J Bush, David L RabinARTICLEMedical Care1976

    A household survey investigated the nonprescribed medicine use of 3,481 persons in the Baltimore SMSA in 1968-69. Of respondents, 30 per cent used a nonprescribed morbidity-related medicine in two days. Rates of use are higher for adults, females and whites in all economic classes, and do not increase with increasing severity of morbidity in any economic class. A hypothesis that nonprescribed substitute for prescribed medicines is supported: ill …
