Organic Mercury Levels among the Yanomama of the Brazilian Amazon Basin
The Catrimani River basin in northern Brazil is the home of the Yanomama and has been the site of renegade gold mining since 1980. Gold-mining operations release inorganic mercury (Hg) into the environment where it is organified and biomagnified in aquatic ecosystems. Ingestion of mercury-contaminated fish poses a potential hazard to fish-eating populations such as the Yanomama. We surveyed Hg levels in Yanomama villagers living near mined and un…

Smoking Among Chinese Americans
Objectives. This report describes and examines factors significantly associated with smoking among Chinese Americans, using multiple logistic regression methods. Methods. We conducted a population-based survey (n = 644, age = 40–69 years) in Chicago's Chinatown using a Chinese questionnaire based on the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Results. Smoking prevalence was 34% for males and 2% for females. Some 93% of current smokers had smoked…
Family and community support of urban pregnant students
Family and community support resources available to 200 primiparous and 44 multiparous pregnant students were examined. All pregnant students included in the study were unmarried, African American, and enrolled in urban public high schools of a large midwestern city from 1986 to 1989. Results showed that (a) support persons in the family system were mentioned more frequently than those in the community system in all support functions and by all p…
Patterns of breast and cervical cancer screening at three public health centers in an inner-city urban area
In an effort to examine breast and cervical cancer screening patterns among poor African-American urban women, medical records were abstracted at three public health centers located in the inner city of Chicago. The proportions of eligible women at these three centers who received Pap smears, breast examinations, and mammograms were computed. These proportions were notably low and differed significantly among the three centers. Because the litera…
Health Problems Encountered by Pediatric Nurse Practitioners and Pediatricians in Ambulatory Care Clinics
This study documents the health problems managed by pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) and pediatricians and examines the effects of setting and provider group on the distribution of health problems. Proportional samples by clinic were selected from a total of 11,968 patient visits to five ambulatory care clinics during an 18-week period in 1978. A patient encounter form was devised and the ICD-9-CM was used as the coding system. Results indica…
