Methods: Data were collected by online survey from women (N = 152) who were then categorized into groups based on the prevalence and extent of PHR during the previous 4 weeks. Groups were compared on demographic, backg…
Talking relationships, babies and bodies with young children
Parents often find themselves ill-prepared for the moment at which questions of a sexual nature arise, or when children display signs of playful behaviour that can be interpreted as sexual. How these behaviours and questions are dealt with establishes the foundations on which children begin to interpret relationships, their bodies, those of others and the sexual world in which they live. In this study, the views and experiences of dealing with ea…
‘Where do babies come from?’ Barriers to early sexuality communication between parents and young children
‘Where do babies come from?’ ‘Why do boys have willies?’ ‘What does gay mean?’ Probably all parents have faced such ‘innocent’ questions from young children, and many have found them challenging to answer. Access to sexuality education at an early age is frequently considered controversial; however, there are strong indications that early and open communication can impact positively in terms of sexual safety and outcomes. Using focus group discus…

Reasons for Second Trimester Abortions in England and Wales
This paper summarises the findings of a study on second trimester abortion in England and Wales in 2005. Second trimester abortions constitute a relatively small proportion of the total number of legal abortions performed in these countries yet attract quite substantial public, and particularly media, attention. Discussion of these abortions has, however, been conducted within a context of little understanding of the factors which explain why the…
Cost-effectiveness of clinical interventions for Aids wasting
Economic studies of HIV/AIDS interventions are important for providing cost-effective care. This paper presents a costeffectiveness study of a three-arm clinical trial conducted at Tufts University School of Medicine/New England Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts that treated 50 patients with AIDS wasting from March 1998 through January 2001. This study compared the costs and impacts of a nutritional counseling intervention alone (NC arm), t…
Oral Sex and Condom Use Among Young People In the United Kingdom
When and Why Do Young People in the United Kingdom First Use Sexual Health Services
CONTEXT: Many young people think about and take steps to obtain adequate protection only after having sexual intercourse for the first time. Consequently, they are at increased risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. METHODS: Between June and August 1999, a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to attendees at UK youth-targeted sexual health services to investigate when and why they first use a sexual health se…
Factors Affecting British Teenagers' Contraceptive Use at First Intercourse
Efforts to increase young people's ability to negotiate sexual and contraceptive decision-making should be multifaceted. It is essential that parents provide a supportive climate throughout childhood and adolescence, where discussions of sexual issues are acceptable and where families feel comfortable talking openly
Geographical aspects of the uptake of renal replacement therapy in England
The National Renal Review provides a complete picture of new patients treated by renal replacement therapy (RRT) in England in 1991–92. RRT is a lifesaving treatment for patients with endstage renal failure. This paper describes an analysis of the review data using multilevel modelling to assess the effects of age, sex, ethnicity, deprivation, access and supply factors on acceptance onto RRT. In particular, we focus on the additional effect of de…
