The Impact of Poverty on First Nations Mothers Attending a Parenting Program
Urban Aboriginal mothers’ experiences with Family Preservation Services indicate that while such interventions ameliorate the challenges they face, poverty is not adequately addressed. Prominent are the importance of prevention; attention to process; cultural context; and attention to actual needs, however, First Nations mothers (a) feel lucky when they get things they need, (b) feel ‘inadequate’ about the inability to manage finances, and, (c) p…
Sewing in the lives of immigrant women
In 2003, 38 immigrant women were interviewed about sewing and contributed sewn items to an exhibition at the Migration Museum, South Australia. Secondary analysis of the interviews was undertaken to better understand the meaning of sewing to some immigrant women. The four overarching themes that emerged reveal that the women perceive sewing as an enduring part of their lives, a means of expression, keeping their culture and very useful. Sewing ha…
Recovery Processes in a Treatment Program for Women
Recovery processes of 32 women were explored in six focus groups following completion of treatment in a community based women-specific substance abuse group program. Grounded theory analysis yielded an over-arching theme of Building a House of Recovery and several sub-themes describing women's perceptions of the processes that were central to their recovery

Skeletal differences between black and white men and their relevance to body composition estimates
Skeletal differences exist between closely matched Black and White women, although it is unknown if similar differences also exist between Black and White men after controlling for age, body weight, and stature. The aim of this study was twofold: to test the hypothesis that Black men have greater bone mass, higher bone mineral density, and longer limbs compared to White men of similar age, weight, and height; and second, to establish if ethnic va…
April 1991 and Beyond: Are Health and Social Services Boards Catching the Tide of Change
This paper is a preliminary assessment of the changed role of health and social services boards in Northern Ireland since their restructuring as management bodies by the government. Key changes in board restructuring are designed to make executive and non-executive board members more accountable and responsive to health user needs. This study seeks to discover some of the characteristics of the first group of board members. This includes their co…
Body fat by dual photon absorptiometry: Comparisons with traditional methods in Asians, blacks, and whites
Measurement of body fat by dual photon absorptiometry (Fat DPA ) is based on the physical principles of differential attenuation of discrete photons by fat and other soft tissue components. The three traditional methods of measuring fat are indirect, in that they depend on measuring the fat free mass (FFM) based on the assumed constancy of water, potassium, and density in the FFM. Comparison of Fat DPA with fat measured by each of the indirect me…

The Blessings of a Good Thick Skirt: Women Travellers and Their World
What drew Annie Taylor and Alexandra David-Neal to Tibet, when it was still cut off from the world and so hostile to foreigners, and particularly female ones, that they had to wear male Tibetan dress for protection? What did Hester Stanhope and Gertrude Bell, two such different women, find so compelling about the desert life of the East? What possessed Mary, Duchess of Bedford, to take up flying at the age of 60 - or Naomi James to sail around th…
Teaching Feminist Counseling Skills: An Evaluation
Feminist counseling was analyzed into four core skills: social analysis, androgyny encouragement, self-disclosure, and behavior feedback. A 5-week feminist skill-training program was developed for 45 counselors divided into two groups, matched on years of counseling experience and scores on Spence and Helmreich's Attitude Toward Women Scale (AWS). Training of the second group was delayed for 5 weeks to provide a control for the training of the fi…
Clinical Ratings: Relationship to Objective Psychometric Assessment in Individuals with Dementia
The efficacy of drugs for the treatment of memory impairment in elderly patients with dementia is frequently established by a combination of subjective and objective psychological assessments. Often these assessments produce conflicting results. To throw some light on the relation between subjective and objective assessments, we examined the correlations of subjective ratings on the Sandoz Clinical Assessment—Geriatric (SCAG) and scores on object…
Criteria for appropriate and inappropriate referrals to a Crisis clinic
The prediction of “shows” and “no‐shows” to a crisis center: A replication
The relationship between measures of worker effectiveness in a therapeutic telephone intervention and whether a caller shows for a scheduled appointment can be used to assess the variables that contribute to "successful" telephone counseling. This study replicated the findings of a previous investigation in showing that the motivation of a caller in response to the question of a referral was positively correlated with "showing" for the appointmen…
