This study uses the concept of uncertainty in general, and specifically objective and subjective uncertainty, as a framework for understanding how a widow experiences grief and attempts to reestablish her sense of self. It investigates how widows understand, internalize, and act on objective and subjective uncertainty and the interplay between them. Objective uncertainty usually refers to more concrete situations or conditions, for example, healt…
Characteristics of Health Information Gatherers, Disseminators, and Blockers Within Families at Risk of Hereditary Cancer
Objectives. Given the importance of the dissemination of accurate family history to assess disease risk, we characterized the gatherers, disseminators, and blockers of health information within families at high genetic risk of cancer. Methods. A total of 5466 personal network members of 183 female participants of the Breast Imaging Study from 124 families with known mutations in the BRCA1/2 genes (associated with high risk of breast, ovarian, and…
Living with chronic risk
This paper investigates how healthy women with a family history of breast/ovarian cancer live with their heightened awareness of risk, and introduces a chronic risk perspective for studying this topic. Healthy women from these at-risk families and individuals suffering from a chronic illness address many of the same issues concerning adaptation to biographical disruption and an uncertain future. We report on risk perception, family history, life …
Family stories and the use of heuristics
The practice of medicine will increasingly be medicine of the family rather than the traditional physician/patient dyad, especially where a genetic condition is involved. This study explores how clients from suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) families seeking cancer genetics risk counselling are influenced by family stories and the use of heuristics (inferential shortcuts used to make sense of complicated information) in interp…

Reservation and non-reservation American Indian mortality in 1970 and 1978
Mortality rates by age and sex of American Indians living in reservation and non‐reservation counties were compared for 1970 and 1978. An apparent overcount in the 1980 census enumeration of American Indians curtails rigorous comparisons, but broad differences can be delineated. The main improvement in American Indian mortality during the decade was in age group 0–4. In 1970, non‐reservation death rates were not different from reservation rates. …

Growing Pains of a New Health Care Field
The growing pains of genetic counselling in Australia and the United States are compared. Genetic counselling is discussed in terms of occupational struggles for status by the non‐medical professionals and the effect this has on the balance between counselling and medical goals in this new health care field. The influence of medical team members vis‐a‐vis non‐medical personnel is viewed as being stronger in Australia than in the United States
Genetic counseling
Soapsuds, Space, and Sociability
Sociability among strangers is investigated in urban laundromats located in middle-class areas and escussed in terms of the pattern of relationships between observed properties of physical settings and observed reactions of individuals in these settings Laundromat behavior identified includes a form of display of the general properties of a subculture Specific rituals act as a form of implicit grammar governing interaction

Stigmatization of carrier status
Possible latent psychological and social consequences ensuing from genetic screening programs need to be investigated during the planning phase of national genetic screening programs. The relatively few studies which have been performed to determine psychological, social, and economic consequences resulting from a genetic screening program are reviewed. Stigmatization of carrier-status, having major psychosocial implications in heterozygote genet…
Who Thinks Who's in Charge Here
Perceptual data obtained from a large sample of colleges and universities are used to investigate faculty views on influence and power in three areas of institutional decision-making-educational policy, recruitment, andfinance. The data suggest that influence is perceived to be diffuse in educational policy and recruitment: senior faculty and department chairmen are seen to exert a great deal of influence in these areas, but not at the expense 'o…
