Changes in Health-Related Quality of Life among African-Americans in a lifestyle weight loss program
Reliability and validity of two HIV/Aids-specific quality of life instruments adapted for use in HIV-positive Zimbabweans
We sought to assess the reliability and construct validity of the HIV/AIDS-Targeted Quality of Life instrument (HAT-QoL) and the Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV) adapted for use in Shona-speaking rural Zimbabwe. HAT-QoL and MOS-HIV were translated and culturally adapted into Shona, and administered to a convenience-sample of 400 patients with HIV-related opportunistic infections. HIV disease severity and bereavement history were…
Tradução e validação de um questionário de avaliação de qualidade de vida em Aids no Brasil
The Brazilian Portuguese version of the HAT-QoL is valid, reliable, and may contribute to evaluating the impact of HIV infection on the quality of life of patients in Brazil
Test-retest evaluation of HAT-QoL and SF-36 in an HIV-seropositive sample
We sought to correct previously reported psychometric and content problems of the HIV/AIDS-Targeted Quality of Life Instrument (HAT-QoL) and to assess test-retest reliability of this revised HAT-QoL as well as the MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) when used in an HIV-seropositive outpatient sample. A total of 153 participants randomly sampled from an HIV specialty and general medical clinics completed a test booklet that contained HAT-…
Does Intimate Partner Violence Epidemiology Differ Between Homes With and Without Children? A Population-Based Study of Annual Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors
Appropriateness of antiretroviral therapy in clients of an HIV/Aids case management organization
We sought to assess appropriateness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) reported by clients of an HIV/AIDS case management organization and identify variables associated with appropriate ART receipt. A total of 295 such clients were mailed a survey asking them to identify antiretroviral medications they were taking. Of them 220 (75%) returned surveys; 201 (93%) were taking antiretrovirals. Of these, 159 were on appropriate and 36 on inappropriate ART…
Men’s childhood sexual abuse histories by one-parent versus two-parent status of childhood home
Objectives: To estimate the association between number of parents in the childhood home and childhood sexual abuse (CSA) with adjustment for childhood socioeconomic status (CSES). Methods: Probability sample of 298, 18–49-year-old men from Philadelphia County, number of parents living in childhood home, socioeconomic data and CSA histories were obtained. Results: 197 (66%) men participated. 186 (94%) of these lived with at least one parent; 76 (3…
Balancing disfigurement and fear of disease progression
This study was conducted to identify and describe the perceived morphologic changes of body fat redistribution and related distress among persons taking combination antiretroviral therapy. Six focus group interviews were conducted in four different US cities with men and women (n = 58) who reported antiretroviral-related symptoms of body fat loss and/or gain. Interview data were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and systematically analysed using i…

Two approaches to measuring quality of life in the HIV/Aids population
Sexual Abuse of Boys
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the definition of sexual abuse of boys, update estimates of its prevalence, and explore critically its reported correlates, sequelae, and management. DATA SOURCES: Studies from 1985 to 1997 were identified using OVID-MEDLINE and OVID-CINAHL. The search terms used were sexual abuse, sexual victimization, and sexual assault. Constraints applied included English language, human male subjects, age younger than 19 years, and Nort…
A Short, Psychiatric, Case-Finding Measure for HIV Seropositive Outpatients
OBJECTIVES: The author assesses performance characteristics of the 5-item mental health scale (MHI-5) of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey when used as a psychiatric case-finding measure for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive outpatients. METHODS: Ninety-five HIV seropositive outpatients from two primary care practices were recruited and cross-sectionally studied. All subjects completed the MHI-5. Standardized Clini…
A New HIV/Aids-Targeted Quality of Life (HAT-QoL) Instrument
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to identify quality-of-life concerns, as reported by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive individuals, and to develop a measure to assess these concerns. METHODS: The HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-targeted measure was developed in two linked studies. In study one, group discussions with 42 HIV seropositive individuals were used to generate item content for the new measure. I…
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection and Quality of Life
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to assess whether Axis I psychiatric disorders exert effects on function and well-being independent of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related disease progression. METHODS: A convenience sample of 95 HIV seropositive individuals completed the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey (SF-20). The Standardized Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID-NP-HIV) was used to screen subjects for Axis I psyc…
Performance of a new, HIV/Aids-targeted quality of life (HAT-QoL) instrument in asymptomatic seropositive individuals
SF-20 Score and Item Distributions in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Seropositive Sample
The question of whether the full range of possible health states is measured by the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) 20-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-20) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive individuals is examined in this article. Ninety-five HIV-seropositive men (37 with asymptomatic infection, 58 with symptomatic infection) from two primary care practices were enrolled. Patients completed the SF-20 evaluating six dimensions of he…
Opera Observed. Views of a Florentine Impresario in the Early Eighteenth Century
"Verdi's "Macbeth
This book, a unique collection of speculation and documentation, grew out of the Fifth International Verdi Congress held in Danville, Kentucky, in 1977, where the 1847 version of Macbetb was performed. Macbetb was the first of Verdi's three Shakespeare operas, 'Dearer to me than all my other operas', as he wrote when dedicating the score of the new work to his benefactor, Barezzi. Many of the papers given at the congress are incorporated into the…
