Community-based, culturally appropriate oral health promotion program for immigrant pregnant women in New York City.

Pre- and postnatal prevention programs may significantly improve the oral health of mother and child. The overall aim of this project was to assess the need for and develop an oral health promotion program for low-income immigrant pregnant women in New York City. Results from the baseline survey showed very low awareness of the importance of maternal oral health and its relationship to an infant's general and oral health among the participants. Based on these results, we developed culturally appropriate educational materials and workshops to promote oral health among pregnant women. As of September 2005, we had conducted more than 500 workshops, distributed educational packages to close to 10,000 women and disseminated about 20,000 brochures in four languages to health care centers and maternal health centers across New York State.

[Studies on evaluation of risk factors of cancer by a large-scale cohort study newly organized in Japan--planning and pilot study].

A large-scale cohort study has been planned in cooperation of 22 epidemiologists in Japan since 1986. The objective of this new cohort aged more than 40, consisting the inhabitants throughout Japan is to evaluate risk factors of cancer already known and suspected agents in so rapidly changing society of Japan where age-sex contraction of population, disease pattern and lifestyle habits have remarkably changing for the last decades. The factors examined are not only social factors but also biological ones from blood, serum and other body fluids. At the same time serum bank of healthy inhabitants in Japan is established in this study.

Doctors, partitocrazia, and the Italian state.

Political and economic forces are determinants of the social position of the professions in any country, but in Italy the political parties exercise such extensive control that no profession can function independent of political party decision making. The medical profession thus developed in close connection with the state, reflecting in the split between generalists and specialists with its professional organization (ordini) differences between the political parties. The attempt of the state to rationalize the health system and control costs through the mechanism of the Italian national health service had the ironic effect of unifying the profession in opposition and thereby increasing its strength. The case of Italy shows the standard conceptual models of professional autonomy to be incomplete because they fail to account for the central role of political parties.
