Violence during pregnancy and substance use.

Violent incidents were assessed as part of a prospective study of 1,243 pregnant women. Participants were predominantly poor, urban, minority group women. Seven percent (n = 92) of women reported physical or sexual violence during pregnancy. Most of the women (94 percent) knew their assailant. Victims of violence were at greater risk of having a history of depression and attempted suicide, having more current depressive symptoms, reporting less happiness about being pregnant, and receiving less emotional support from others for the current pregnancy. Comparisons of victims and non-victims showed that victims were more likely to be users of alcohol and drugs. In addition, partners of victims were more likely to use marijuana and cocaine. When possible confounders were controlled using multivariable analyses, a woman's alcohol use during pregnancy and her partner's drug use were independently associated with an increased risk of being a victim of violence during pregnancy. Results of this study highlight the importance of assessing exposure to violence during prenatal care, especially among women who are heavy users of alcohol or drugs or whose partners use these substances.

Sexual partners of injecting drug users: the risk of HIV infection

The sexual mediation of HIV infection by injecting drug users to the heterosexual population has become a major issue in AIDS prevention. Infection that is acquired through sharing contaminated injecting equipment can be passed on to non-injecting drug using partners and to non-drug using partners through sexual intercourse. A study of risk behaviour among injecting drug users in the North West of England focused, inter alia, upon aspects of their sexual activity and attitudes that have relevance for HIV transmission. It was found that in those respondents with regular partners, the level of sexual activity was related to the partner's use of drugs. The use of condoms was low in the sample as a whole, including those who reported having casual sexual contacts and sharing others' injecting equipment. These data confirm the need for concern and the advisability of targetting safer-sex education on drug users.

"Spousal Veto over Family Planning Services,"

In many countries a spouse, usually the husband, can veto a partner's use of family planning services. Where spousal veto acts as a barrier to family planning services it represents a serious threat to the lives and health of women and children. Removal of spousal authorization requirements has been shown to increase the use of family planning services. The Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia, for example, removed their requirement in 1982 and clinic utilization increased by 26 per cent within a few months. Courts of several countries have held that spousal veto practices violate principles of personal privacy and autonomy and the right to health care. The effect of such judgements has been to reinforce rights to sexual nondiscrimination found, for example, in national constitutions and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. This article discusses the nature and application of spousal veto practices, explains how such requirements can violate certain human righ...

Relational and Episodic Characteristics Associated with Conflict Tactics

This study sought to discover how select episodic and relational variables are functionally related to communication tactics in situations of interpersonal conflict. More precisely, this study examined how communication satisfaction and perceived communication competence of partner might mediate the link between partner's conflict messages and developing relationship features. Partner's use of integrative tactics produced communication satisfaction and the perception of partner's competence. Communication satisfaction and partner competence, in turn, contributed to the definition of the interpersonal relationship in terms of greater control mutuality, trust, intimacy and relational satisfaction. Distributive tactics of partner were inversely related to communication satisfaction and perceived partner competence, and directly affected the relational characteristics of trust, control mutuality and satisfaction. Avoidance was not associated with episodic or relational features when referencing the partner's behavior. However, in tests that involved one's own conflict behavior, avoidance directly and negatively affected relational satisfaction.

Spousal veto over family planning services.

In many countries a spouse, usually the husband, can veto a partner's use of family planning services. Where spousal veto acts as a barrier to family planning services it represents a serious threat to the lives and health of women and children. Removal of spousal authorization requirements has been shown to increase the use of family planning services. The Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia, for example, removed their requirement in 1982 and clinic utilization increased by 26 per cent within a few months. Courts of several countries have held that spousal veto practices violate principles of personal privacy and autonomy and the right to health care. The effect of such judgements has been to reinforce rights to sexual nondiscrimination found, for example, in national constitutions and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. This article discusses the nature and application of spousal veto practices, explains how such requirements can violate certain human rights, and explores possible remedies to this problem, including ministerial, legislative, and judicial initiatives.

The changing attitude and practice of menregarding family planning in Lagos, Nigeria

Men's role in family planning is often neglected. This is unfortunate, especially since men's attitudes often influence their partner's use of family planning and since there is evidence that many men favour family planning. A study done in Lagos, Nigeria indicates that men's knowledge and use has increased over the years, and that attitudes towards male sterilization are not all negative. Some defects in male knowledge of family planning were identified, and suggestions made for health education. Though the sample was a small one, the findings may help others to deliver appropriate family planning services.

Interspousal reliability of reports of marital violence.

Examined interpersonal reliability on reports of marital violence. 65 couples beginning marital therapy and 37 couples from the community participated. Husbands and wives had average ages of 35 and 32 yrs, respectively. Each S completed a version of the Conflict Tactics Scale on which they were asked to report on their own use of physically abusive behavior as well as their partner's use of such behaviors in the past 12 mo. Agreement between partners on the occurrence of violence was low to moderate for both the clinic and the community sample. Clinic husbands tended to underreport their own violent behavior, and/or clinic wives tended to overreport the violence performed by husbands.

Changing Contraceptive Usage Intentions: A Test of the Fishbein Model of Intention1

The Fishbein model of intention suggests that intention may change as a consequence of change in either a related attitudinal or normative component. This hypothesis was tested on intention to use contraceptives. Users and nonusers of contraceptives were exposed to a message designed to change contraceptive‐usage attitude, to a message directed toward changing the normative beliefs associated with using contraceptives, or to a no‐message control. The messages advocated one of three contraceptive techniques: (a) males were advised to use condoms, (b) males were advised to rely on their partner's use of oral contraceptives, or (c) females were advised to use oral contraceptives. Contraceptive‐usage intention changed only in the two conditions where the model's requirements for change were present. Thus, the pattern of change agreed with Fishbein's suggestions and provided moderate support for the intention model and its application to intention change in health care settings.

The Absurdity of Dread: Pinter's The Dumb Waiter

The Absurdity of Dread: Pinter's The DUlnb Waiter CHARLES A. CARPENTER • The Dumb Waiter wields an unrelenting humor and horror. ... [The play] evokes simultaneously the laughter of contemptuous recognition and a shiver of dread. As within ourselves, on the one hand open abysses of bottomless inanity, on the other loom the fearful crags of an irrational, implacable cruelty. The Dumb Waiter brilliaritly fulfils Ionesco's postulate in completely fusing tragedy with the most hilarious farce.... [Even] the desultory discussions of trivial news in the evening paper are utterly true, wildly comic, and terrifying in their absurdity. Comically but ominously, black is the dominant color of the crockery - a suitable color for those whose job is murder. When Gus describes their job, there are resonances of Kafka behind Beckett.... [Ben and Gus] exercise their confusions and inadequacies like other Music Hall comics who, were we to take them seriously, become almost unbearably poignant and darkly absurd. IT HAS GOTTEN SO THAT NO ONE CAN SPEAK OF ABSURDITY any more without forcing the corners of his mouth to stay down. The last of the critics quoted above, for instance, takes Ben and Gus very seriously indeed. Since Camus' Myth of Sisyphus, since the recent canonization of Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre, above all since The Bald Soprano and Waiting for Godot, the classical adage that one must not treat serious things lightly has almost developed a contemporary equivalent, one must not treat light things lightly. Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter is an excellent case in point. Because it is another early play by the author of The Room, The Birthday Party, and A Slight Ache, it has been persistently labeled a "comedy of 279 280 CHARLES A. CARPENTER menace," with the accent on "menace." Actually it is a mock-melodramatic farce. Because its action consists of a waiting game in which two seedy characters kill time, the play has been likened in metaphysical "resonance" as well as in basic pattern to Waiting for Godot. But its relation to Godot is closer to parody (of an amiable sort): BEN. You'll have to wait. GUS. What for? BEN. For Wilson. GUS. He might not come. He might just send a message.... BEN. Well, you'll have to do without it, won't you? GUS. Blimey. What will Gus have to do without? His cup of tea. The fact is that some of our best analysts of contemporary theatre Martin Esslin, Bernard Dukore, Ruby Cohn - and most of the Pinter specialists - Lois Gordon, James Hollis, Katherine Burkman - have responded to The Dumb Waiter as if they felt a solemn obligation to discover that Pinter had transmuted the base metal of silliness into the gold of "terrifying" Absurdity. Certainly they have shunned the off chance that he might have cooked up an hour's worth of sheer, rich fun. In so dOing, they have drastically misunderstood the play. The blinders caused by their preconceptions of profundity have led them to misread clear-cut stage directions, to overlook giveaway lines of dialogue, to miscalculate obvious indicators of tone - in general to resist perceiving the depths (or heights) of frivolity that the play achieves. Consider a few especially revealing examples. A third of the way through the one-act, Ben and Gus argue vehemently over a trifling figure of speech. Gus dares to find fault with his senior partner's use of "light the kettle," and Ben reacts as if a major rebellion had ensued. Various critics make hay out of this exchange by examining it subtextually, psychoanalytically, mythically, or just plain naturalistically; but not a single one points out that almost immediately before Gus objects to Ben's illogical usage, he himself says "light the kettle" ("I can light the kettle now"). Note how an eye-winking alertness to this fact conditions one's responses to Ben in the following dialogue: BEN. Go and light it. GUS. Light what? BEN. The kettle. GUS. You mean the gas. BEN. Who does? GUs. You do. BEN- [his eyes narrowing]. What do you mean, I mean the gas? GUS. Well, that's what you mean, don't you? The gas. BEN. [powerfully]. If I say go and light...
