Reporting alcohol-impaired drivers: results from a national survey of emergency physicians.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this exploratory study was to learn of physicians' opinions on mandatory reporting of alcohol-impaired drivers they encounter in the course of their clinical work to the police or authorities from the Division of Motor Vehicles. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: Two thousand four hundred sixty-four physicians randomly selected from the American College of Emergency Physicians were sent an anonymous, one-time only, self-administered questionnaire seeking demographic information and assessing attitudes toward mandatory reporting and alcohol treatment. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: One thousand fifty-five physicians returned the survey. Seventy-eight percent of respondents agreed with mandatory reporting. More than half expressed strong agreement. Through canonical discriminant analysis we are able to identify the complex factors influencing attitude toward mandatory reporting. CONCLUSION: Although our preliminary results must be interpreted with caution, it appears that with the appropriate legal safeguards, physicians are supportive of mandatory reporting of the alcohol-impaired driver encountered in the course of clinical work.

Screening for human immunodeficiency virus.

Screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies as a means of preventing both the progress and spread of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is problematic in terms of efficacy, effectiveness, and ethics. The few desired effects are mostly offset by greater and more certain undesirable effects on individuals and society.

Patterns of consultation among adolescent minors obtaining an abortion.

Interviews with 184 adolescents revealed that all had consulted at least one individual before obtaining an abortion, although one-quarter, primarily the older adolescents, did not consult an adult prior to pregnancy counseling. At both the time of the abortion and one year later, the adolescents perceived their mother and their male partner as the two most important and helpful people in reaching a decision.
