Family Factors and Knowledge
This study examined the family context for knowledge, attitudes and efforts regarding exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (i.e. passive smoking) among Malaysian medical students. Women, non-smokers, and never smokers scored better on all three scales. Students whose brothers did not smoke scored better on knowledge and attitude scales.

These changes provide a test for social theory and have substantial effects on the demand for various food products, thus impacting U.S. agriculture.

Prevalence of various forms of vegetarianism is estimated in a representative sample of a suburban population and factors that influence choice of a vegeta…
Biosocial variances and infant survival
This study used path analysis to assess the chances of survival of babies in a neonatal intensive care unit in Lansing, Michigan, USA. Two paths to neonatal survival were identified and the variables accounted for 20% of the variance in gestational age. The first path showed that prior infant losses were negatively correlated with gestational age while in the second path, gestational age showed negative relationships with pre-pregnancy weight and…
