Costs of providing dental services for children in public and private practices.

This study compares the costs of providing children's dental services in three practice settings: private practices, public mobile clinics, and public fixed clinics. Some 15,000 children were provided comprehensive dental care over a three-year period. Results indicate that costs per visit and per child were lowest in mobile clinics and highest in private practices. The differential was partially explained by differences in productivity but mostly by the fact that the price of services in public practices represented costs of production, whereas in private practices they represented market values.

Present versus preferred public relations practices of athletic departments in Canadian universities.

Public relations (PR) practices in athletic departments (AD's) of C.I.A.U. - member institutions were surveyed with a mailed questionnaire. The instrument which included fifty-seven items of a two-part nature, measured eight "present" and "preferred" public relations characteristics. A 74.5% (N = R35) response rate was achieved over a six-week period. Analysis of results indicated that: (1) Present concepts of the purposes of PR programs in AD's are much less clear than they could be; (2) While most AD's maintain an identifiable unit responsible for PR, the majority of personnel practising these roles are not qualified by experience and/or training in this area; (3) Even though relationships and internal communications within AD's, regarding PR issues, seem fairly adequate, additional means of providing internal feedback on PR activities are needed; (4) Even though local media have been well identified and are contacted regularly, the present flow of external communications appears to be one-way. i.e. from the AD's to the press, and more exphasis on information needs and requests originating from the media is required; (5) Provisions for performance evaluation and long-range planning of the PR programs appear very poor; (6) AD's in the Ontario and Great Plains athletic conferences generally offer far greater provisions for a sound PR program.

The public health implications of ethnomedical practices.

The public health implications of ethnomedical practices are extensive. In particular, there is the need to research the cultural and social behaviour patterns relevant to health care in order to utilise aspects of ethnomedical practices within a comprehensive health care system. To exploit the positive aspects of the ethnomedical practices successfully, health education for the consumers (the population) and the producers (the health workers) must be developed. Because of the limited resources of most developing countries and as a part of the movement away from "industrialized medicine", a large number of health auxiliary workers, including ethnomedical practitioners, need to be trained and deployed to develop and maintain this new health care system.
