Fatal lymphoreticular disease in the scurfy (sf) mouse requires T cells that mature in a sf thymic environment: potential model for thymic education.

Characteristic lesions in mice hemi- or homozygous for the X-linked mutation scurfy (sf) include lymphohistiocytic proliferation in the skin and lymphoid organs, Coombs' test-positive anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and death by 24 days of age. The role of the thymus in the development of fatal lymphoreticular disease in the scurfy mouse was investigated. Neonatal thymectomy doubles the life span of scurfy mice, moderates the histologic lesions, and prevents anemia, despite the continued presence of high levels of serum IgG. Animals bred to be nude and scurfy (nu/nu; sf/Y) are viable, fertile, and free of scurfy lesions. Bone marrow from scurfy mice can reconstitute lethally irradiated, H-2-compatible animals but does not transmit scurfy disease. We conclude, from these data, that scurfy lesions are mediated by T lymphocytes that mature in an abnormal (sf) thymic environment.

Integrating social work and public health education: a clinical model.

In Florida, the need for clinically oriented social workers with expertise in planning and evaluating maternal and child health programs has led to the establishment of a joint master of social work and master of public health degree program. This program has a clinical social work concentration combined with a public health concentration in maternal and child health content, administration, and research design. The philosophy and development of the program, the course content and degree requirements, the field placement content, issues regarding student acceptance and advisement, faculty appointments, and program directions and goals are discussed. Descriptions of both the social work and public health programs that operate the joint-degree curriculum and the differing perspectives are outlined as well as skills that students obtained through their participation in the program.

A decade's experience with a preceptorship. A model for gastroenterologic education.

I have conducted an experiment in medical subspecialty education during the last 10 years in the division of gastroenterology of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in the form of 3-month preceptorships during the second year of the fellowship. I recognized that our training program, along with other subspecialty training programs, was no longer a purely hospital affair, but its future lay as well in the outpatient setting. I wanted to have the fellows participate in the daily care of patients in the realistic setting of practice. I hoped to offer them the excitement, as well as the problems, of daily gastroenterology practice. By seeing new and established patients with gastrointestinal problems in four daily sessions, and caring for hospitalized patients, including those being operated on, the fellows were to participate in every aspect of a busy office. The flavor of reality was to be heightened by their exposure to the preceptor's uncensored discussions with the patient, the family, the radiologists, endoscopists, and referring physicians. Here I report what the fellows and I have learned from experience, and I address the problems we all must face in the era of managed care, with the ongoing reduction in the number of specialists. I also consider who will do the teaching and who will pay them to protect the time they need.

Illness behavior, social adaptation, and the management of illness. A comparison of educational and medical models.

Motivational needs and coping are important aspects of illness response. Clinicians must help guide illness response by suggesting constructive adaptive opportunities and by avoiding reinforcement of maladaptive patterns. This paper examines how the patient's search for meaning, social attributions, and social comparisons shapes adaptation to illness and subsequent disability. It proposes a coping-adaptation model involving the following five resources relevant to rehabilitation: economic assets, abilities and skills, defensive techniques, social supports, and motivational impetus. It is maintained that confusion between illness and illness behavior obfuscates the alternatives available to guide patients through smoother adaptations and resumption of social roles.

Integrating mental health into community health nursing.

Future nursing graduates will face a challenge as they seek employment in a changing healthcare system. A managed-care system using community-based sites is the trend of the future, with economy of care as the norm. The authors describe one model for educating students to meet community mental health challenges. The chronically mentally ill have traditionally been underserved in the community, resulting in frequent and costly readmissions to psychiatric hospitals. Appropriately prepared graduates can successfully manage the care of these clients economically in the community. The integration of community mental health into the community health course group meets that challenge.

Special communication: mandate for creation of a national peripheral arterial disease public awareness program: an opportunity to improve cardiovascular health.

BACKGROUND: There has been increasing recognition of the detrimental effect of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) on the health of Americans, and yet there is no common national program of public PAD education designed to diminish this effect. FORMAT: To heighten awareness of this problem, a 2-day PAD Public Education Strategy Meeting was recently attended by representatives of 17 professional societies and public health associations whose missions support the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vascular diseases. This Public Education Strategy Meeting was intended to provide the rationale and structure to create a national PAD public awareness campaign to diminish the health effect of PAD and to improve cardiovascular outcomes in the United States. This document (1) provides the rationale for creation of a national PAD public education program; (2) reviews the development and success of national hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and Women's Heart Health public education programs as models of educational efficacy; (3) elucidates how the work of many vascular professionals has led to a national consensus for creation of a national PAD public educational program; (4) provides an overview of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute PAD education meeting; and (5) outlines the "next steps" required to accomplish these goals. OUTCOME: This meeting achieved consensus that we share responsibility for developing accurate, unified messages to promote PAD awareness and improved care. Participants agreed that the creation of such messages should be linked to plans to disseminate them to all Americans at risk. A consensus was reached that such messages, when commonly created and offered to the public, are most likely to achieve the rewards in better health that all Americans deserve. The Vascular Disease Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation whose mission includes public education about the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of PAD, will devote its resources to guide a new coalition in this process and to create a national PAD awareness campaign. During 2003 and 2004, the coalition will create the organizational underpinnings and time line for what will undoubtedly be a multiyear effort. CONCLUSION: Participants of the Public Education Strategy Meeting agreed to create a broad coalition to develop a National PAD Public Awareness Program, with the objectives to develop and disseminate public education messages on PAD. A successful national PAD education program will contribute to creation of a broader mandate to improve global cardiovascular health in the United States.

Public drug information: a telephone-based model for patient education.

As one facet of a larger investigation evaluating the various means by which patients receive information concerning their medications, a telephone-based drug information service was established for selected public use. The purpose was to detail the growth and utilization of the service, characterize the type and importance of the questions asked, and compare the potential utility with that of the USP-DI patient package insert (PPI) in responding to the public's drug information requests. Availability of the toll-free number for the Prescription Drug Information Service (PDIS) was controlled by offering it only to outpatients receiving selected medicines from the pharmacy of a large university-based medical center. The PDIS was operated by clinical pharmacists who participated in completing standardized operational data forms after each drug information call by the public. Of those calls received, 91.7% were not of a serious nature and most commonly dealt with side effects, drug interactions, and drug identification. Fifty percent of first-time calls occurred within two days of the subject's visit to the pharmacy and 23.4% of the total PDIS calls were repeat contacts. Interestingly, 34% of the patients' questions could not have been answered using the standard USP-DI PPI.

Practice and research: an integrated model for the education of social work interns.

The Practice Research Center is a joint endeavor between Adelphi University Graduate School of Social Work and the Department of Social Work Services at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. This paper will describe the work of the research center from 1983 to date. This collaborative effort of agency and school is focused on the students' acquiring an understanding and appreciation of a scientific/analytic approach to knowledge building for practice. Research opportunities for social work staff and students contributed to the initiation of empirical studies. The studies focused on current topics of interest that formed the delivery of social work services, enhanced programming and added to the knowledge of practice. Studies included a hunger survey; a survey of psychiatric patients' understanding of their illness following a psycho education intervention; a retrospective study to determine the extent to which breast cancer information influences a woman's surgical options of a lump-ectomy or mastectomy; a two-tier study focused on the characteristics of foster children and the delivery of social work services; a patient and family satisfaction survey of psychiatric patients and their families. The authors will discuss the educational principles related to this effort.

Outcomes of three different models for sex education and citizenship programs concerning knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of Brazilian adolescents.

Three different school-based sex education and citizenship programs in public schools in Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, and Salvador, Brazil, were evaluated in a cross-sectional study comparing knowledge, attitudes, and practices in sexuality, citizenship, and gender issues among adolescents participating in the programs' activities as compared to adolescents enrolled in schools without such programs (controls). Results showed that Salvador's program achieved good results, with significant changes in knowledge on sexuality and reproductive physiology, attitudes regarding citizenship, and current use of modern contraceptives; Rio de Janeiro's program succeeded in improving students' knowledge of reproductive physiology and attitudes towards sexuality; Belo Horizonte's participants showed greater knowledge of reproductive physiology and STI/HIV prevention but had less positive attitudes towards gender issues, while reporting greater sexual activity. The main difference between Salvador's program and the others was the focus on creative and cultural activities; Belo Horizonte's main difference was its lack of interaction with health services and professionals. However, after the evaluation Belo Horizonte reframed its educational strategies and launched a scaling-up process in a joint effort with the health and school systems.
