Patients referred to an urban HIV clinic frequently fail to establish care
To measure the success with which patients newly entering outpatient care establish regular care, and assess whether race/ethnicity was a predictive factor, we conducted a medical record review of new patients seen 20 April 1998 to 31 December 1998 at The Thomas Street Clinic, a county clinic for uninsured persons. Patients were considered 'not established' if they never saw a physician in the 6 months after intake (the 'initial period'), 'poorly…
Measuring the Prevalence of Overweight in Texas Schoolchildren
Objectives. We describe results from year 1 of a surveillance system to monitor body mass index in children at the state level. Methods. A sample of 6630 children attending Texas public schools, weighted to represent 4th, 8th, and 11th grades within race/ethnic subpopulations, was assessed. Body mass index was calculated from measured height and weight; demographic information was obtained from a questionnaire. Results. Prevalence of overweight w…

This article describes the development and psychometric properties of the Aggression Scale. The scale consists of 11 items designed to measure self-reported aggressive behaviors among middle school students (sixth, seventh, and eighth graders). The scale was evaluated in two independent samples of young adolescents (n = 253 and n = 8,695). Reliability scores were high in both samples, and did not vary significantly by gender, ethnicity, or grade …
Evaluation of national health programs. IV. Louisiana family planning
In 1966 the Orleans Parish Family Planning Program was developed with the objectives of developing a family planning delivery system that identified, contacted, educated, and provided all indigent families of the metropolitan area with family planning information and services; creating this program between July 1, 1967 and June 30, 1970; and evaluating the program by measuring its impact on fertility among the target population along with its eff…
United States
The achievements of the Orleans Parish Family Planning Program during its first 2 years are described. In 1966 the program was established after studies were conducted which demonstrated the need for such a program for the indigent. The programs clinic system is composed of a central clinic and 3 satellite clinics. In the first 2 years 24230 initial contacts were made through the program which resulted in 17459 first admissions to the clinic prog…
