Age differences in word finding in discourse and nondiscourse situations.

Measures of word finding in discourse (video description task) and nondiscourse situations (word fluency tasks) were obtained from a sample of 90 community-dwelling healthy adults. Age differences were found in the accuracy and uncertainty of the labels used to refer to the characters and objects depicted in the video description task and in the number of correct responses in the category fluency task. There was a significant amount of shared variance between the 2 types of tasks. More important, there was a significant amount of variance in the video discourse task associated with age that was independent of performance in the word fluency task. The communicative impact of a word-finding problem and need for discourse level study are discussed.

Developing a cost-effective media campaign addressing unprotected anal sex among gay men.

This paper describes the development and implementation of the Stella Seattle campaign, a media campaign targeting men who have unprotected anal sex with other men. Stella Seattle utilizes a serial cartoon strip format. Scenarios and characters in the strip are derived from local formative research on factors associated with unprotected anal sex in men who have sex with men, including depression, isolation, misinformation, and normative behavior. Weekly strips illustrating the struggles and hopes of gay men who are practicing unprotected anal sex are distributed in postcard form throughout the gay community and are placed in two weekly newspapers. Surveys conducted in the gay community and at an HIV test site indicate that 35% to 45% of men have seen Stella, and of these men about half have discussed it with their friends.

The Jeremiah Metzger Lecture. Humanities in medicine: treatment of a deficiency disorder.

Al Jonson pointed out that Sir William Osler provided one of the best rationales for Humanities in Medicine (21, 65). In 1919, in one of Sir William's last lectures given just a few months prior to his death, a lecture to the British Classical Society, he discussed how the sciences and the humanities can inform each other. He compared the humanities to thyroid hormone-thyroxine had just been discovered in 1914-"a hormone...," Sir William said, "...which lubricates the wheels of life... Deprive man of the lubricants ... and ... he sinks into dementia..." And so to the Classical Society, Sir William said, "You secrete materials which do for society at large what the thyroid gland does for the individual. The humanities are the hormones..." And Al Jonsen suggested that we in Medicine reaffirm Sir William's metaphor that the humanities are the hormones which will do for medicine what they do for society at large.

Gender representation in illustrations, text, and topic areas in sexuality education curricula.

A content analysis instrument was developed to examine differences in gender representation in sexuality education curricula. Fourteen middle school and high school curricula, published between 1985 and 1995, were examined. Variables included illustrations, noun/pronoun usage, and specific topics within the two categories of biological function and mutual interest. The study examined differences in gender representation in illustrations, photographs, cartoons, drawings, and text. Omission of sexuality topics related to gender also was examined. Little difference occurred within the text of the curricula in noun and pronoun usage. Illustrations were few in number, but showed greater female representation. Greater male representation occurred in topics related to drug use, sexual exploitation, sexual desire, and homosexuality. Topics with greater female representation included body image, diseases of the reproductive organs, and hygiene.
