Improving Adherence to Screening Follow-Up Among Women with Abnormal Pap Smears: Results from a Large Clinic-Based Trial of Three Intervention Strategies
In a large randomized trial involving over 2,000 women with abnormal cervical cytology (pap smear), three clinic-based interventions were tested as strategies to increase return rates for screening follow-up: 1) a personalized follow-up letter and pamphlet; 2) a slide-tape program on pap smears; and 3) transportation incentives (bus passes/parking permits). The three interventions were evaluated using a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design. Results of this…
Comparison of Retrospective and Prospective Assessment of Premenstrual Symptoms
The comparability of ratings of premenstrual symptoms obtained by different methods of data collection was studied. Ongoing ratings were compared with retrospective reports. A consecutive series ( n = 17) of women attending a premenstrual syndrome (PMS) evaluation and treatment center completed daily diary cards over the course of one menstrual cycle as well as a retrospective evaluation of their premenstrual symptomatology. Comparisons were made…
Discriminant Function Analysis of the MC Gill Pain Questionnaire
The performance on the McGill Pain Questionnaire was compared with an alternate version of 16 subcategories of adjectives in distinguishing among three groups of patients with pain. Both versions were administered to (a) primiparae experiencing postepisiotomy pain ( n = 60); (b) outpatients attending a rheumatology clinic ( n = 60); (c) inpatients having undergone wisdom tooth extraction ( n = 60). The order of administration was balanced, so tha…
An analysis of self-reported sexual behavior in a sample of normal males
A survey of attitudes towards permanent contraceptive methods
In this survey of attitudes towards permanent contraceptive methods, four groups were studied: (A) men having undergone a vasectomy 12 months previously ( n = 61); (B) men currently attending for vasectomy ( n = 58); (C) female partners of men currently undergoing vasectomy ( n = 60); and (D) women undergoing sterilization by tubal ligation ( n = 52). All patients completed a questionnaire which included questions on the reasons for selecting the…
The role of psycho-social factors in IUD continuation
The short term effects of psychological preparation for surgery
Attitudes and Choice of Contraceptive
Attitudes towards contraceptive methods were sampled among 117 women, in their mid-20's, selecting a new method (Pill, IUD, Injectable) and a comparison group of women undergoing termination of pregnancy for the first time. High concordance was found, suggesting women were applying essentially the same standards in making their selection
Psychological factors in IUD use—a review
The high variability between centres in the incidence of side effects related to intrauterine devices (IUDs) is taken to indicate the need to direct research attention towards the context in which IUDs are inserted, as opposed to exclusive concern with the nature of the device. This paper considers the significance of psychological factors at the time of insertion in the light of recent studies indicating the benefits of adequate patient preparat…
