Substance use prevention for adolescents
Data from the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and other Drugs have shown that adolescent substance use is a growing problem in western and particularly Eastern European countries. This paper describes the development, implementation and results of the Icelandic Model of Adolescent Substance Use Prevention.

Eliminating Health Disparities
We applaud the Journal’s October 2003 focus on eliminating health disparities and the University of Pittsburgh’s National Minority Health Research Summit. Efforts to reduce inequalities need to be derived from multiple sources. Two recent publications about the challenges of achieving equality for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Latino peoples show the failings of our past approaches.1,2 The National Institutes of Health’s National Center o…

Raising grandchildren from crack-cocaine households
Changes in family and friendship networks of 71 African-American grandmothers raising grandchildren as a consequence of the crack-cocaine epidemic are examined. Despite continued strong social ties, many of the women reported decreased contact with family and friends other than confidantes and a decline in marital satisfaction. Implications of the findings for research, policy, and practice are discussed
The Assumption of Caregiving
In this article, selected findings are presented from a study of the experiences of 71 African American women who have become the sole caregivers for at least one grandchild or great-grandchild as a result of the involvement of the parent in use of crack cocaine. Despite the unique circumstances of each situation, three patterns of the assumption of caregiving emerged from analysis of the intensive interviews and participant observation: sudden a…
The Physical and Emotional Health of Grandmothers Raising Grandchildren in the Crack Cocaine Epidemic
This article explores the physical and emotional health status of 71 African-American grandmothers raising their grandchildren as a result of the crack cocaine involvement of the children's parents. A comparison of self-assessed health ratings with qualitative responses revealed a tendency for respondents to downplay their own health problems and symptoms.

The decreasing incidence of endometrial cancer
The incidence of endometrial cancer in the San Francisco area between 1969 and 1979 is compared to trends in estrogen sales and prescriptions. Both estrogen use and endometrial cancer incidence increased steadily until 1975 and then decreased significantly. The data support the previously documented association between endometrial cancer and estrogen use, but suggest that short-term usage may carry only slightly increased risk which can be elimin…
