Friendships in later life: definitions and maintenance patterns.

This study examined the meaning and maintenance of friend relationships in later life. The sample consisted of forty-one males and seventy-four females, sixty years of age or older. Participants were asked a series of open-ended questions regarding their past and present relationships with their friends. While older men and women tended to agree on the characteristics of a friend, gender differences emerged when they were asked to differentiate between a "friend" and a "close friend." Older women were more likely to consider friends made earlier in their lives as still part of their friend network than were older men. Perceptions of current involvement with friends also differed depending upon the gender of the respondent. Discussion centered on the definition of friends in later life and gender differences found in maintenance patterns.

"Friendships are a big part of it": social relationships, social distance, and HIV risks.

Social distance, or how close or distant individuals consider others, is an important influence on drug injectors' HIV risk behavior. Qualitative in-depth interviews with a vignette were employed with a sample of drug injectors in England to explore the influence of social distance on HIV risk behavior. Analysis of these data distinguish between close and distant relationships in sexual behavior in the community and in drug-injecting behavior inside prison. These findings help to expose the constituents of social distance in relation to drug injectors' perceptions of HIV risk, which are discussed throughout this paper.

Medical staff evolution: collegial friendship to collective accountability.

The last 10 to 15 years represent a period of transition for medical staffs. The era of professional liability led to new demands for formal mechanisms of accountability, a much more defined organizational structure, and new medico-administrative careers. The medical staff's bylaws, rules, and regulations also increased in importance and complexity, as physicians had to incorporate provisions for due process and carefully select words.
