Gender-based health interventions in the United States: An overview of the coalition for healthier community initiative

Health disparities by gender constitute an important yet often overlooked aspect of health around the globe. Within the United States, there is both a paucity of research as well as planned programs that take into account how socio-cultural roles and expectations for men and women may differentially affect symptoms, access to care, and treatment. Viewing women's health exclusively as a function of sex (i.e., biological) differences represents a narrow understanding that does not fully explain gaps in health disparities between men and women. In September 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) launched a national initiative entitled the Coalition for a Healthier Community (CHC) to employ a gender-based framework in several urban, suburban and rural communities across the nation. The Office on Women's Health (OWH) within the DHHS funded 10 coalitions to ultimately improve the health of women and girls utilizing a gender-based approach. This article provides an overview of the initiative and the focus of the special issue.     

Establishing a Parenting Program for Fathers in Substance Abuse Treatment

This paper describes a systemic, trauma and attachment model for a parenting program for fathers in residential substance abuse treatment. It emphasises the complex nature of delivering parenting programs in this context and the importance of going beyond simple linear principles of reward and punishment, upon which many other parenting programs are predicated.     

Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services: How Consumer Access Is Restricted by State Policies

State Medicaid programs have expanded home and community-based services (HCBS). This article compares trends and variations in state policies for Medicaid HCBS programs in 2005 and 2010. State limitations on financial eligibility criteria and service benefits have remained stable. Although the use of consumer direction, independent providers, and family care providers has increased, some states do not have these options. The increased adoption of state cost control policies have led to large increases in persons on waiver wait lists. Access could be improved by standardizing and liberalizing state HCBS policies, but state fiscal concerns are barriers to rebalancing between HCBS and institutional services.

Evaluation of program success for programs with multiple trials in binary outcomes

A late‐stage clinical development program typically contains multiple trials. Conventionally, the program's success or failure may not be known until the completion of all trials. Nowadays, interim analyses are often used to allow evaluation for early success and/or futility for each individual study by calculating conditional power, predictive power and other indexes. It presents a good opportunity for us to estimate the probability of program success (POPS) for the entire clinical development earlier. The sponsor may abandon the program early if the estimated POPS is very low and therefore permit resource savings and reallocation to other products. We provide a method to calculate probability of success (POS) at an individual study level and also POPS for clinical programs with multiple trials in binary outcomes. Methods for calculating variation and confidence measures of POS and POPS and timing for interim analysis will be discussed and evaluated through simulations. We also illustrate our approaches on historical data retrospectively from a completed clinical program for depression. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

娱乐影响成长——兼论湖南电视娱乐节目对未成年人的消极影响

电视娱乐节目对青少年的影响非常大，在青少年成长中承担着重要的责任。湖南电视的诸多娱乐节目对未成年人的思想道德建设方面付诸了很大的努力，但客观上还是很多娱乐节目存在内容过度成人化、喜欢拿儿童“开涮”、不利于未成年人语言学习、节目价值导向模糊、助长未成年人的浮躁心态等消极影响。湖南电视娱乐节目对未成年人成长的消极影响是媒介道德缺失的一种表现。

中国传统文化对法治思想的缺失分析

法律是整个社会文化的窗口,任何时代的法律必须置于特定的文化环境中,整个民族文化的重要特征必定在法律中得以体现。中华民族有着深厚的文化底蕴,这种传统文化对法律制度产生着深刻的影响。这种影响既有积极的,也有消极的。我们在继承传统文化时,只有剔除其糟粕,吸取其精华,才能为我国的法制建设注入时代精神,真正实现依法治国的目标。     

国际海事惯例及其司法识别问题研究

国际航运业的发展源远流长,中国自改革开放以来逐步构建起了中国特色社会主义海商法律体系。作为法律体系补充的国际海事惯例日益受到重视,将国际海事惯例运用到国内司法活动的前置问题就是司法识别。司法识别包括程序方面的构造和实体方面的标准两大方面,程序构造和实体标准相辅相成、相得益彰,共同构成了国际海事惯例司法识别问题的完整体系。从宏观角度对国际海事惯例的司法识别问题进行制度化完善,将有利于其科学规范的适用,为航运业的健康和可持续发展提供强有力保障。
