OP67 Do Doctors Contribute to the Social Patterning of Disease? Contrasting Findings from an Epidemiologic Survey and a Decision Making Experiment
Background That type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) varies significantly by race and ethnicity is a widely accepted fact. It is often invoked as a base rate ( a priori probability) during the process of clinical reasoning. Epidemiological studies repeatedly show undiagnosed T2DM varies more by socioeconomic status (SES), than by race/ethnicity. This study seeks to understand the discrepancy between the true prevalence of undiagnosed T2DM by SES and i…

Do blacks and whites differ in their use of health care for symptoms of coronary heart disease
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to identify the role of race in seeking and receipt of care for symptoms of coronary heart disease. METHODS. Data on medical care, sociodemographic characteristics, symptoms, risk factors, income, and insurance were collected in a telephone interview for a random sample of 2030 Black and White adults in inner-city Boston. Rates of care-seeking for symptoms, amounts of delay in seeking care, and rates of r…
Does the promotion and distribution of condoms increase teen sexual activity? Evidence from an HIV prevention program for Latino youth
OBJECTIVES. Opponents of condom availability programs argue that the promotion and distribution of condoms increases adolescent sexual activity. This assertion was tested empirically with data from the evaluation of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention program for Latino adolescents. METHODS. The onset of sexual activity, changes in the frequency of sex, and changes in the proportion of respondents with multiple partners were compared …
HIV risk among Latino adolescents in two New England cities
OBJECTIVES. Latino adolescents in two urban New England areas were surveyed to assess risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. METHODS. Probability of HIV infection during the previous 6 months was estimated from self-reported sexual contacts, condom usage rates, and number of partners. Teens were also asked to show condoms in their possession to the interviewer to validate self-reports of condom use. RESULTS. Overall, 8% of the 5…
Response comparability of family and staff proxies for nursing home residents
Response comparability on a wide variety of factual and judgmental information regarding nursing home residents was assessed for two proxy groups: family and staff. Family proxies had the most information. Family and staff proxies are not interchangeable. A general lack of response comparability suggests that proxies for nursing home residents should be selected in relation to the type of data needed and the time period of interest
The relation between dominance, anger, and hormones in normally aging men: Results from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study
This paper examines the relation of two personality characteristics (dominance and anger) to hormones in normally aging men. The relation of the Jackson Personality Research Form E Dominance subscale and the Spielberger Anger Expression scale to serum levels of 17 endocrine variables, including testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), cortisol, and prolactin, was examined in 1709 men aged 39 to 70 years randomly sampled from the Boston Met…
The validity of health risk appraisals for coronary heart disease: Results from a randomized field trial
BACKGROUND: While health risk appraisals (HRAs) are becoming increasingly popular as tools for health assessment and health education, comparatively little is known about the accuracy of these risk estimates. METHODS: A field trial among 732 randomly selected adults ages 25 to 65 years was conducted to assess the validity of the risk scores produced by four widely used HRAs. RESULTS: Self-reported HRA risk scores for cigarette smoking and relativ…
The reliability of health risk appraisals: A field trial of four instruments
A field trial was conducted to evaluate the reliability of four widely used health risk appraisals (HRAs). A total of 338 randomly selected adults aged 25 to 65 years residing in the Boston metropolitan area completed an HRA on two occasions seven to 12 weeks apart. Test-retest reliability was assessed by comparing self-reported baseline risk scores to follow-up scores for heart attack risk and selected coronary heart disease risk factors. Respon…
Accuracy of perceptions of heart attack risk: What influences perceptions and can they be changed
Using perceived risk of a heart attack, we examined the relative importance of perceived risk factors and sociodemographic variables on subjects' perception of heart attack risk, the relationship between perceived and objectively measured heart attack risk, and the effect of health risk appraisal (HRA) feedback on risk perceptions. Data derive from a random sample of 732 Greater Boston, Massachusetts area men and women ages 25-65 years, who parti…

The new late comers for antenatal care
THE Maternity in Great Britain survey (Joint Committee of R.C.O.G., 1948) was one of the first large-scale investigations into both the efficacy of sound antenatal care and the quality of such care received by various social categories in the general population. It was found that, of the 13,500 mothers interviewed, only 125 (0-9%Y.) received no antenatal
