Philosophical integrity and policy development in bioethics.

Critically examining what most people take for granted is central to philosophical inquiry. Philosophers who accept positions on policy making commissions, tasks forces, or committees cannot, however, play the same uncompromisingly critical role in this capacity as they do in the classroom or in their personal research or writing. Still, philosophers have much to contribute to such bodies, and they can do so without compromising their integrity or betraying themselves as philosophers.

Literacy, education and health development: policy implications.

The statistical evidence on the relationship between education and health is impressively strong, but a causal link remains to be established. Despite this weakness, however, the evidence is much more solid than that on which policy decisions concerning health and education are normally made. Although further research is needed, the findings currently available are adequate to support advocacy of a higher priority to education in development and health improvement strategies.

Urban and rural Indian drinking patterns: implications for intervention policy development.

Alcohol misuse has taken on epidemic proportions among some (but not all) American Indian populations. Cultural, psychological, socioeconomic and genetic etiologies have been offered to explain this social phenomenon. This study identifies the relative strengths of these causal models to differentiate among both current and lifelong drinking career patterns. Further, antecedent and drinking level differences between urban and rural Indian populations in California are described. Age, sex, level of stress as measured by the Cornell Medical Index, percent of Indian ancestry and level of drinking in the family of origin are less powerful predictors of drinking level. Policy implications of these findings include: the development of intervention programs which involve members of the patient's support network, accelerated interventions in rural Indian communities and mid-level interventions among younger and less debilitated, but identifiably "at risk", populations.
