Monitoring Health Technology Assessment Agencies
The increased use of “regulatory science” in decision and policy making is an important component in the governance of modern states. However, contrary to what one would be tempted to assume, the use of knowledge from advisory bodies is not straightforward. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) agencies are currently preoccupied with their impact on the health care system and the examination of more active dissemination strategies. This article sugg…

Determinants of Primary Medical Practice in Adult Cancer Prevention
The authors conducted a study of primary care physicians in the province of Quebec to ascertain their patterns of preventive practice with respect to cancer in four anatomic sites: breast, cervix, colon-rectum, and lung. They further explored the data set to elicit the determinants of the patterns of preventive practice. Scales were constructed encompassing practice behaviors for each type of cancer, continuing education intensity, knowledge, and…
Motor vehicle related injury on the bridges between Montreal and the South Shore of the St. Lawrence River, 1978-1982
The injury experience related to motor vehicle crashes on four bridges and one tunnel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from 1978 to 1982, are described. Particular attention is given to the Jacques Cartier Bridge, publicly perceived as being excessively dangerous. Data from the Quebec Automobile Insurance Board and police reports confirm an excess of deaths (19/34; rate ratio = 4.5) and severe injuries (69/109; rate ratio = 6.2) on the Jacques Cartie…
Adult cancer prevention in primary care
Four strata of Québec primary care (general practitioner) physicians were delineated: fee-for-service physicians in urban and in rural settings, salaried physicians in Community Health Centers (CLSCs) and physicians reimbursed per session in Family Medicine Teaching Centers (FMCs). Physicians in CLSCs and FMCs did more mammographies in women aged 50 to 59, more testing for occult blood in stools of patients aged 45 and over, more Papanicolaou tes…
Adult cancer prevention in primary care
We conducted a survey of a representative sample of all primary care physicians in the province of Québec to ascertain their patterns of preventive practice with respect to cancer in four anatomical sites: breast, colon-rectum, cervix, and lung. A stratified random sample of 430 physicians in general practice was interviewed individually and weighted population estimates derived. Physicians report teaching breast self-examination to their patient…
