Effects of Maine's 1981 and Massachusetts' 1982 driving-under-the-influence legislation
In 1981, Maine passed a drunk driving law with mandatory penalties and a new civil charge to increase the conviction rate. One year later, Massachusetts increased drunk driving penalties, particularly for repeat offenders and intoxicated drivers involved in fatal crashes. In Maine, single-vehicle nighttime fatal crashes declined 22 per cent the year before passage of the law, and 33 per cent the year after. Maine's rates returned to pre-law level…

Impact of legislation raising the legal drinking age in Massachusetts from 18 to 20
On April 16, 1979, Massachusetts raised its legal drinking age from 18 to 20 years. Massachusetts was compared with New York State, exclusive of New York City and Nassau County. New York State retained an 18-year-old drinking age. Random telephone surveys with approximately 1,000 16-19 year olds in each state were undertaken prior to the law's enactment and twice at yearly intervals after the law to assess the law's impact on teenage drinking, dr…
The Relationship of Psychosocial Factors to Coronary Heart Disease in the Framingham Study
Questionnaires administered to 1822 members of the Framingham Heart Study from 1965 to 1967 provided measures of personality type, sociocultural mobility, situational stress and somatic strain. Clusters of questions selected by a panel of experts, and verified by item and factor analysis, formed scales of Type A behavior and other psychosocial states. The Framingham Type A behavior scale was significantly correlated with daily stress (.47), emoti…

An Index of Symptom and Disease in Zulu Culture
A major area on which the interests of physicians and scientists converge can be described broadly in a single question: what are the relationships between health and illness, human behavior, and culture? Attempts to explore this and related questions are represented by the increasing volume of studies in which a a disease or health condition is one of the major variables to be examined along various or behavioral axes and by studies of the etiol…
Magic, sorcery, and football among urban Zulu
In discussing beliefs in witchcraft in Africa, Gluckman (2) points out that native beliefs in witchcraft not only persist in the face of continuing acculturation but often expand and change to meet the exigencies of new life situations. In fact, the impact of science, and particularly the impact of modem medicine, on previously nonliterate Africans actually inhibits their traditional beliefs and practices much less than might be expected; and alt…
The Vanishing Villains of Television
Diet and Serum Protein Levels of Urban Zulu Adults
The serum protein pattern of Africans is usually found to differ from that of Europeans, being characterized by lower albumin levels and higher total globulin levels. There is evidence that this may be due to a number of possibly interrelated factors, viz. parasitism, malnutrition, liver disease, and, to a limited extent, genetic considerations. There is no unambiguous evidence that diet plays a major role in producing the characteristic African …
