Promoting Public Health Through Electronic Media
RESTRICTED ACCESS TO health care services has long been a problem for our nation's poorest citizens. In his presidential address to the 55th annual meeting of the American Public Health Association in 1926, C. E. A. Winslow—the founding chair of Yale University's Department of Public Health—urged the development “of free public services for the examination of well persons or of persons who suspect the presence of disease, for their hygienic instr…

Demographic Characteristics and Prior Utilization Experience of HMO Disenrollees Compared With Total Membership
In the 2 months immediately after a premium rate increase, the Genesee Valley Group Health Association (Group Health) lost over 600 subscriber contracts. A survey was conducted to determine the reasons for disenrollment and compare the demographic and utilization characteristics of disenrollees with those of all members during the previous calendar year. The disenrollees were members of smaller families and were concentrated in a younger adult ag…
Factors Influencing Disenrollment From an HMO
A survey was conducted of people who disenrolled from a prepaid group practice Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). Disenrollees were more dissatisfied with the organization of the HMO and the care they received than those who remained in the plan. Changes in eligibility for HMO coverage and dissatisfaction with medical service were the first and second most frequently reported reasons for disenrollment. Although the sample was drawn during a p…
The Tides of Rural Physicians
To determine the characteristics of physicians who move into and out of rural areas, as well as their reasons for establishing or leaving such practices, we sent questionnaires to 67 physicians who began practice in selected rural counties in upstate New York and 88 physicians who left practices in roughly the same area. From the 52 physicians (77.6 per cent) who responded to the former survey we found that 1) good professional support is mandato…
Discrepancies between Admission and Discharge Diagnoses in a University Hospital
Admission screening and certification systems for utilization review are based on acceptance of attending physicians' admitting diagnosis. This study was conducted to: 1) determine the consistency of admission diagnosis as compared to discharge diagnosis: i) identify the characteristics of patients and diagnoses subject to higher rates of diagnostic discrepancy; and 3) analyze the apparent reasons for such discrepancies. The following methods wer…

Changing Health Care Opinions in Regionville, 1946-1973
This study is a partial replication study of a community with the fictious name of Regionville which was first studied by E. L. Koos in the period 1946-50. In the present paper, we are concerned principally with that part having to do with the changing health care beliefs in this community. The indications are that: 1) there has been considerably liberalization of opinion, particularly among upper class respondents, in terms of issues relating to…
Need for Power among Alcoholic and Nonalcoholic Clergy
Much of the literature exploring motivation for drinking beverage alcohol asserts that people drink to resolve conflict over dependency wishes or feed their sense of dependency. David McClelland and his associates contend that people drink to make themselves feel more powerful. Two types of need for power are identified: personalized need for power (p-power) and socialized need for power (s-power). McClelland's hypotheses for social drinkers were…
