澳大利亚社区卫生服务模式对中国的借鉴意义

澳大利亚是一个经济发达的、多元文化为主导的社会福利型国家，社区卫生服务建设比较完善。虽然在社会制度及卫生保健制度上与中国有很大差异，但对于发展中国的社区卫生服务仍有值得借鉴的经验。     

A Risk-Based Method for Modeling Traffic Fatalities

We describe a risk-based analytical framework for estimating traffic fatalities that combines the probability of a crash and the probability of fatality in the event of a crash. As an illustrative application, we use the methodology to explore the role of vehicle mix and vehicle prevalence on long-run fatality trends for a range of transportation growth scenarios that may be relevant to developing societies. We assume crash rates between different road users are proportional to their roadway use and estimate case fatality ratios (CFRs) for the different vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian combinations. We find that in the absence of road safety interventions, the historical trend of initially rising and then falling fatalities observed in industrialized nations occurred only if motorization was through car ownership. In all other cases studied (scenarios dominated by scooter use, bus use, and mixed use), traffic fatalities rose monotonically. Fatalities per vehicle had a falling trend similar to that observed in historical data from industrialized nations. Regional adaptations of the model validated with local data can be used to evaluate the impacts of transportation planning and safety interventions, such as helmets, seat belts, and enforcement of traffic laws, on traffic fatalities.     

论奥斯古德对昆明高峣社区的人类学研究

1938年夏天,美国年轻学者科尼利尔斯·奥斯古德为了履行与燕京大学的合作计划,不远万里来到滇池西岸一个名不见经传的小村庄调查.1961年,他开启尘封的笔记本,整理旧资料,补充新文献,完成了<旧中国的农村生活:对云南高峣的社区研究>.70年过去,重温科尼利尔斯·奥斯古德的研究历程,我们仍会从中获得许多有益的启示.     

Dementia Problem Behavior and the Production of Informal Caregiving Services

Informal caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease spend a considerable amount of time providing care. In this paper, we use Grossman's health production and Becker's time allocation models to develop a model of informal care provision to elderly dementia patients. In our model, time inputs produce caregiving services, which provides utility to the caregiver, but reduces leisure. We assume that time is less productive of services on the margin as the disease progresses. In this framework, an increase in patients' disease severity does not necessarily increase informal caregiver time input. The cost of formal care establishes a reservation price for informal caregiving. When the costs of informal caregiving rise above this reservation level, the patient is institutionalized. We test empirically the effect of deterioration in the patients' condition, proxied by both disease severity and dementia problem behavior, on informal caregiving time. We find that dementia-related problem behaviors and functional limitations significantly increase inputs of informal caregiving time. Patients' problem behavior exerts a modifying effect on functional limitations, and patients' comorbidities have no effect on informal caregiving time.     

废除死刑是我国融入国际社会的必由之路

死刑是剥夺人的最基本的权力—人格权、生命权的法律制度。“死刑存废之争”由来已久。废除死刑是文明社会的共识和当今世界发展的潮流。目前,中国废除死刑的要求非常迫切,从法律的角度看,中国只有废除死刑才能更好地融入国际社会。     

Effects of Medicaid managed care policies on mental health service use among a national probability sample of children in the child welfare system

Children in the child welfare system are dependent upon Medicaid to finance services for their considerable mental health needs. This study examines the effects of Medicaid policies on mental health service use among a national probability sample of children in the child welfare system. Data for this study came from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, the Caring for Children in Child Welfare study, and the Area Resource File. Weighted multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate effects of policy variables on children's use of mental health services, controlling for child-level covariates and county-level health resources. Children in counties with behavioral carve-outs under Medicaid managed care had lower odds of inpatient mental health service use. Medicaid managed care enrollment and variations in type of provider reimbursement did not affect use of mental health services. Older age, greater need for mental health services, and higher levels of caregiver education were associated with increased odds of service use. Restrictions on use of inpatient mental healthcare caused by behavioral carve-outs may disproportionately affect children in the child welfare system who have high rates of such use. Careful adoption of carve-outs is necessary to assure appropriate care for these children.

贫困大学生心理健康教育工作浅论

本文在分析贫困大学生普遍存在的心理问题的基础上,阐述了加强大学生心理健康教育的主要内容,并积极探索通过心理健康知识宣传、心理评估、个体咨询、团体咨询等途径加大对贫困大学生的心理健康教育力度,以达到提高贫困大学生心理健康水平,促进贫困大学生健康成长的目的。     

贫困大学生心理健康及社会支持状况的研究

探讨和研究贫困大学生心理健康与社会支持状况及两者之间的关系，可以为有效地进行心理危机干预提供参考依据。我们以河海大学495名贫困大学生为实验组，476名非贫困大学生为对照组，采用90项症状自评量表（SCL-90）和社会支持评定量表（SSRS）进行团体施测，结果发现贫困大学生的心理健康和社会支持状况均低于非贫困大学生，尤其是在人际敏感、抑郁和精神病性三方面差异达到非常显著的水平；在贫困大学生中，女生的心理健康水平低于男生，文科学生低于理工科学生，来自城市的贫困大学生低于来自乡村的贫困大学生；贫困大学生的心理健康水平和社会支持状况存在显著相关。提高个体感受到的主观支持及其对社会支持的利用度，将有利于贫困大学生心理健康水平的提高。     

治安管理处罚方式的新发展

处罚方式是关于具体的处罚手段与类型的法律规定,在治安管理处罚中具有非常重要的作用。随着社会主体多元化,社会关系复杂化,治安管理处罚方式必然要多样化。国外的社区矫正制度尤其值得借鉴。
