The major purposes of this investigation was to assess the effectiveness of the revised edition of the New York State Curriculum Guide with respect to the cognitive domain dealing with the drug topic. Knowledge achievement comparisons in the areas of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs were made between high school students who received the Curriculum Guide program and comparable students receiving a traditional program. Results of the knowledge test scores between the two groups evidenced a significantly higher score for the experimental group for each of the three subscores and for the entire test. Comparisons between the two educational approaches by the sex of the respondent indicated that the program appears more effective for males than females.

Background: While comprehensive evidence exists regarding negative effects of depression on self-care behaviours in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), the relation between anxiety and self-care behaviours in patients with CHF is not clear. The aim of this study was to analyse the interactions between anxiety, depression and self-care behaviours in patients with CHF. Methods: The self-care behaviour of CHF outpatients was measured using the European Heart Failure Self-care Behaviour Scale (EHFScBS). The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) was used to assess anxiety, the PHQ-9 was used to measure depression severity. Differences between patients with and without anxiety were assessed with the respective tests. Associations between anxiety, self-care and other predictors were analysed using linear regressions. Results: Of the 308 participating patients, 35 (11.4%) fulfilled the PHQ criteria for an anxiety disorder. These patients took antidepressants more frequently (11.8% versus 2.3%, p = .02), had had more contacts with their general practitioner within the last year (11.8 ± 16.1 versus 6.7 ± 8.6, p = .02), and had a higher PHQ-9 depression score (12.9 ± 5.7 versus 6.5 ± 4.7, p < .01) than patients without anxiety disorder. Anxiety and self-care were negatively associated (ß = −0.144, r2 = 0.021, p = 0.015). The explanation of variance was augmented in a multivariate regression with the predictors age, sex, education, living with a partner, and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ( r2 = 0.098) when anxiety was added ( r2 = 0.112). Depression further increased the explanation of variance (ß = −0.161, r2 = 0.131, p = 0.019). Conclusions: Anxiety is negatively associated with self-care behaviour in patients with CHF. However, this effect disappears behind the stronger influence of depression on self-care. The consideration of mental comorbidities in patients with CHF is important.

The fertility rate of a school-age population-at-risk in a community of moderate size (Newburgh, New York, and environs) based on hospital records for the period 1959-1963 appears to be stable at approximately 10% of 12-16-year-old girls. A detailed review of academic and medical records confirms the sociomedical and educational profile previously documented by others, and shows no unique conformation characteristic of the community nor did an individual predictive profile emerge which might make this population especially identifiable for screening or prevention programs. It is hoped that community attitudes toward social and economic poverty can be altered enough to cease punitive measures such as withholding education and public assistance from these girls. These approaches appear to be an organized escape-into-ignorance behavioral pattern whereby the community prohibits hospital-based family-planning clinics or any teaching resembling sex education in the schools, fearing that these activities may be interpreted as sanctioning and encouraging illegitimacy. Surely the time has come to re-evaluate our public education and health practices toward a problem inexorably linked to population growth and increasing public-health education. More knowledge is needed regarding dating and supervision of teen-agers. This study does indicate that the potentially pregnant school-age girl tends not to participate in organized extracurricular activities, so that community efforts to supply "family-life" education through girls' clubs, neighborhood and church groups, Y.W.C.A., and similar organizations will fail to attract the very population it is designed to reach. The school must prepare to accept this role realistically since informal educational experience does not meet the needs of these girls.

Problems relating to human reproduction are among the critical issues of our time, and it is appropriate that pediatricians contribute to the solution of these problems. The changing dimensions of comprehensive pediatric care, more specifically the significant numbers of pregnancies being reported in young persons, support this position. For example, national statistics show that 44% of all pregnancies occur in persons under 20, and one out of four mothers on Aid to Families with Dependent Children in New York is pregnant before 16. At least four roles can be identified for the pediatrician: 1. Genetic counseling: the pediatrician has already become proficient in giving knowledge to parents of the incidence of inborn errors of metabolism, chromosomal abnormalities, and other problems associated with genetic inheritance patterns. 2. Sex education: he often provides sex education to individual patients, families, and parents, in addition to teaching groups in his own practice and in schools, churches, or youth organizations. 3. Family planning and pregnancy counseling: he may provide assistance in these areas in behalf of the parents or adolescents. This assistance may involve a wide range of clinical advice and treatment, including the concept of spacing (rhythm method), contraceptive devices, or oral medication, whatever is considered most suitable for the individual. All alternatives for dealing with an unwanted pregnancy should be seriously discussed with the teenage girl and the other persons involved, including the parents if feasible. The pediatrician is in a unique position by the nature of his close association and relationship with the adolescent patient to provide this important personal service.
