Parental opinions about attending parent support groups.

Parent support groups are often a routine part of the services provided to families who have children with special health care needs. Often times, however, the groups are poorly attended, despite expressions of interest from parents. A survey of 45 families was conducted to examine who participates, why, and what factors encourage attendance. This article describes the survey responses and offers suggestions regarding utilization of the results for those planning parent support groups.

View from a cancer center.

As part of Healthplan's genomics series, we have sought opinion and perspective from various sectors of health care. Articles in past issues have reflected both the enthusiasm and optimism of the genomics industry as well as the caution and concerns of health plan medical directors confronted with the question of who will pay for the new genetic services and treatments and--more importantly--how they will truly benefit patients. In this issue, we publish the perspective and goals of doctors and researchers at a renowned cancer center. As our series unfolds, it is becoming increasingly clear that a national dialogue is needed on the important questions raised by the authors in our genomic series. Readers are encouraged to send their views on this topic to Healthplan.
