The Hunter Syndrome-Functional Outcomes for Clinical Understanding Scale (HS-Focus) Questionnaire
The shortened HS-FOCUS is a reliable, valid and responsive measure, where burden in answering the Questionnaire was reduced without compromising its validity

Documentary Film as Policy Analysis
The production and distribution of social-issue documentaries can have a wide range of significant impact on community organizations, educational institutions, citizens, and policy makers. What this article seeks to demonstrate, using the example of Tracy Huling's Yes, In My Backyard, is the utility of an “issue-centered model” that allows a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the full range of political impact, including impact on producers…
Out of the Theaters and Into the Streets
Investigations of the political impact of documentary film and video have typically been guided by an "individualistic model," assessing the impact of a finished film on individual citizens and within the dominant public discourse. Research by Feldman and Sigelman (1985) and Lenart and McGraw (1989), however, provides support for creating a more elaborate coalition model for assessing the ways in which documentaries have political impact and for …

Teaching Green
One morning the group of students who were leading my “Ecology and Politics” class that day decided that we should hold class outside, in the garden of a nearby university reception center. We ventured out, into a classic South Carolina spring day, with a bright blue sky and trees full of blossoms. On the way, the group discovered that they had forgotten to bring markers to write on the large pad that they were carrying. I let them continue on, t…
Does Cigarette Smoking Increase Time to Conception?
Data are reported on the relationship between cigarette smoking and other health-related behaviours and time to conception in a population-based sample of women who acted as a control group in a case-control study of twinning. Women who continued to smoke close to the time of conception took significantly longer to become pregnant than women who never smoked or stopped smoking before the year during which they attempted to conceive. A hierarchica…

Dietary questions as determinants of mortality
Objective: To determine whether responses to simple dietary questions are associated with specific causes of death. Design: Self-reported frequency intakes of various classes of foods and data on confounding factors were collected at the baseline survey. Death notifications up to 31 December 1997 were ascertained from the Office for National Statistics. Relative risk (RR) of death and 95% confidence intervals (CI) associated with baseline dietary…

What Do They Know and When Do They Know It? Health Staff on the Hill
“You could tell by their blank faces that most of them had no idea what the provisions really meant.” Using almost these identical words, two different congressional staff members described two separate groups: (a) the members of a congressional committee considering a Medicare reform provision at a committee mark-up and (b) the personal staff of these same members at a briefing on the provision prior to the mark-up. So what can we conclude about…
Reaffirming the Importance of Strategic Use
Focusing exclusively on the substantive use of policy analysis results in a limited assessment of the role of analysis in policymaking, particularly in a congressional setting. This article develops a two-dimensional perspective on use, incorporating a substantive-strategic dimension as well as a concrete-conceptual dimension. The importance of this perspective is demonstrated through an analysis of congressional use of two projects produced by t…
Legislative Decision Making and Substantive Policy Information
Models of legislative decision making have not adequately connected voting choices with the activities which structure voting alternatives, nor have they included the roles of specialist legislators and their staffs. Here we develop two-stage and threestage models of legislative decision making from existing research findings in information flow. We then test these models in the California Legislature, assessing how well the three-stage model fit…
The Fate of Policy Analysis in Congressional Decision Making
TW A TITHIN the past two decades, Congress has dramatically enhanced its analytic capability, increasing the number and responsibilities of its professional staff (Malbin 1979; Salisbury and Shepsle 1981) and the quantity and quality of its analytic information (Commission on the Operation of the Senate 1976; Frantzich 1982). Two new congressional support agencies have been created, the Office of Technology Assessment and Congressional Budget Off…
Congressional Reapportionment in the 1980s
State government efforts to reapportion congressional districts are guided by a curious combination of abstract notions of fairness and pragmatic desires for political advantage. A substantial literature has established normative criteria by which reapportionment plans might be evaluated, such as compactness, contiguity, equal population, and equitable swing ratios. ' At the same time, participants in the process often view reapportionment as an …
Effect of a WIC Program on Children??s Clinic Activity in a Local Health Department
Two years' encounter data from a local health department in rural North Carolina are analyzed to determine the extent to which WIC increased the demand for health department services. WIC clinic visits were found to contribute disproportionately to Children's Clinic activity. Nearly 80 per cent of the increase in total clinic encounters from FY78 to FY79 was attributable to WIC alone. Whereas in the first quarter of FY78 only 18 per cent of Child…
