This cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the frequency of consanguineous marriage in a group of army conscripts in Ankara and the factors affecting this. Of 4153 soldiers, 387 were married. The rate of marriage between first cousins was found to be 19·1%, and the overall rate of consanguineous marriage was 24·1%. Consanguineous marriage was found to be significantly prevalent among soldiers who were born in and still living in the Eastern region; among those who lived in villages; among those whose parents as well as themselves had low educational levels; and among those whose marriages were arranged by their families. Neither the payment of bride-price nor the presence of consanguinity between parents was a significant factor for consanguineous marriage. In addition, the age of the soldier and the age at marriage were significantly lower among soldiers married to first cousins than among soldiers whose marriages were not consanguineous.

OBJECTIVES: To discover the knowledge and use of contraception amongst women in eastern Nepal and to identify reasons for patterns of use. METHOD: A cross-sectional study, using a structured survey, was completed by women admitted to the post-natal ward of Koshi Zonal Hospital in eastern Nepal. The subjects were asked questions about their knowledge and use of contraception as well as reasons for their contraceptive choices. RESULTS: The subjects showed a large discrepancy between knowledge (79%) and use (21%) of contraception. Knowledge was greater in higher socio-economic groups but use was not significantly different. Knowledge and use increased with age to a maximum use of 50% at age greater than 30 years. The main source of contraceptive knowledge was from formal school education. Injectable progesterone was the most common contraceptive used and this was said to be because of its convenience. The main reasons for non-use of contraception were subjects wanting another child and fear of side-effects. All contraceptives were purchased from private shops due to discomfort at attending recognisable contraceptive providers.. CONCLUSIONS: The levels of contraceptive awareness and use were lower than in other published Nepalese studies. This difference is associated with low educational levels in the study population. There is also an ongoing desire for larger families. There is a need for more contraceptive education that does not rely on schooling. The lack of use of government contraceptive services should also be addressed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jucms.v2i2.11169 Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2014) Vol.2(2): 15-20

Abstract Introduction: Vision is the most important sensorial part of the human information system. Visual loss leads to reduced ability to perform routine activities of daily living and can be a risk for stable mental health. Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional study is to assess the incidence of depression in patients treated in an ophthalmological outpatient clinic. To our knowledge this is the first study of its kind in our country. Subjects and method: The number of evaluated patients was a hundred; mean age 41.6 ± 15.9 years, with different educational levels and common ophthalmological disorders. For the assessment of the level of depression the Beck Depression Inventory was used. Patients were divided into two groups: serious ophthalmological diagnoses where we expected psychological problems (N = 65) and the simplest ones (N = 35) as a control. Results: Obtained results show that the levels of depression correlate with the diagnoses. Patients in the first group (serious ophthalmological diagnoses) showed moderate depression in 12% and severe in 13% of patients. It was shown that the most depressed were the patients suffering from age-related macular degeneration and proliferative diabetic retinopathy, as well as glaucoma and cataract. The second group showed BDI scores of normal values. The level of depression is positively correlated with age and the level of education (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Depression is an important mental problem in ophthalmological practice. It is usually unrecognized and untreated. Depression could be the risk factor for treatment and prognosis of eyes diseases. Some measures for mitigation of psychological problems are proposed.

308 American and Lebanese male and female Ss at different age and educational levels expressed their preferences for 8 Ostwald colors (red, orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, green-blue, blue, and purple) through the method of paired comparisons. The main findings indicate that green was significantly not preferred at earlier developmental stages while significantly preferred at a later adult age.

Background and aims: Health literacy (HL) can affect individual health, health communication and error in taking medicine. The aim of this study was to determine the level of HL and associated factors among Iranian adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 240 participants over 18 years of age referring to health centers in Hamadan, west of Iran in 2015 were selected by multistage random sampling. HL was assessed by the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (TOFHLA). The questionnaire was completed by a trained interviewer. The independent variables were structural and intermediate social factors based on the Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH). Data were analyzed by using IBM SPSS version 22. Results: Average age of the participants was 30.88 ±7.38 years and 75.4% of the them were female. The total score of HL was 64.58 ±16.71 (range: 23.82-98.98). Overall, 31.7% (n=76) of the participants had adequate HL level, 32.5% (n=78) had borderline HL level and 35.8% (n=86) had inadequate HL level. Additionally, participants with higher educational levels had higher HL scores than those with lower educational levels (P<0.001). HL score was significantly higher in males than in females (P=0.017). Conclusion: HL level seems to be inadequate among Iranian adults in the west of Iran. Moreover, enhancing social determinants such as educational level seems to increase HL. The results highlighted the necessity for change and improvement in adults’ HL.

Abstract A study by Yaruss and Quesal (2002), based on responses from 134 of 239 ASHA accredited graduate programs, indicated that approximately 25% of graduate programs in the United States allow students to earn their degree without having coursework in fluency disorders and 66% of programs allow students to graduate without clinical experience treating people who stutter (PWS). It is not surprising that many clinicians report discomfort in treating PWS. This cross-sectional study compares differences in beliefs about the cause of stuttering between freshman undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory course in communicative disorders and graduate students enrolled and in the final weeks of a graduate course in fluency disorders.
