The author suggests a different approach to the dairy farm inspection problem. The merits of the conventional method used by many state and Municipal departments of health are weighed. An effort is made to define the responsibilities of the official control agency and to correlate these with the responsibilities of the milk distributor operating under the licensing privilege granted by the Department of Health. It is recommended that the direct supervision of the supply be left to the Health Department responsible for the milk supply where the major portion of the milk is consumed. The author holds that the most effective results in the enforcement of dairy farm requirements will be attained when departments of health transfer the major portion of the Inspection burden to the milk industry itself. The major health consideration in the metropolitan area, that of preventing milk borne discuse, can best be accomplished by intensifying efforts extended in the supervision of the pasteurizing process itself and in the application of safeguards necessary to prevent subsequent contamination.

Abstract The National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, is the federally designated lead agency on aging research, and has supported significant research on aging as a life-long process. In the last five years, NIA experienced a tripling of its budget. Although much of this funding is targeted to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD related dementias (ADRD) research, there was an increase in funds allocated to non-AD research in keeping with the overall growth of NIH. This symposium will provide a forum for exploration of the implications of the budget increases for the general research community. It will involve NIA’s senior staff discussing research priorities and programs supported by the Institute. A question-and-answer session will follow brief introductory remarks on current funding and future priorities and research directions of NIA.

Abstract The National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, supports biomedical and behavioral research with a life-span focus. There is attention to understanding basic processes of aging, improving prevention and treatment of diseases and conditions common in later years, improving the health of older persons, as well as a focus on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The NIA also supports the training and career development of scientists focusing on aging research and the development of research resources. The symposium, meant for junior faculty and emerging scholars, will provide an update on the latest research findings from the NIA followed by a brief update on funding mechanisms. An opportunity is provided to meet and consult with NIA extramural staff.

Medical Perspective

From a medical perspective vaccination, the process whereby someone is made immune to significant disease, has a long and distinguished track record and has proved highly beneficial. More recently public faith in some aspects of the process has diminished dramatically. This article by Marion Miles presents the background to, and development of, the immunisation programme currently recommended by the Department of Health. It seeks to explore reasons for non-compliance with the programme and to discuss the consequent dilemmas thus presented to professionals. Particular problems presented by looked after children are also considered.

Infant Feeding Decisions

In November 1981, Dr Edward N. Brandt, Assistant Secretary of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, commissioned the Task Force to examine the scientific evidence regarding infant feeding and infant health in both the United States and developing countries. In addition, the report was to include recent information on trends, infant-feeding practices, and factors associated with infant-feeding decisions. The purpose of the Task Force was to determine those areas that were reasonably well studied and well proven and also to indicate where important deficiencies in knowledge existed. Because of the enormous volume of scientific literature dealing with infant feeding, the Task Force elected to concentrate on the most recent studies. In addition, studies of health effects were reviewed if they primarily addressed clinical outcomes in infants or children as end points. This approach necessarily excluded many of the laboratory studies that provide the theoretical framework under which breast-feeding would be expected to have important positive health effects relative to other forms of infant feeding. The Task Force also realized that because of the nature of clinical and epidemiologic research in this area, few of their conclusions could be based on the gold standard of causal research, namely, the randomized clinical trial. Nevertheless, to avoid arriving at conclusions and to say merely that more research was needed, would not live up to responsibility the Task Force was given. Accordingly, the authors of this report have tried to indicate which observational studies were of sufficient quality and consistency that reasonably firm conclusions could be reached, while indicating methodologic difficulties as they were found.

Offensive Odour

SUMMARYBetween January and June 1990, Restaurant A in Greenville, South Carolina repeatedly failed local health department inspection and was repeatedly sanctioned. In September 1990, two persons, hospitalized with salmonellosis after attending a convention catered by Restaurant A, contacted the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. We inspected Restaurant A, interviewed food handlers, and surveyed by telephone persons from every sixth business attending the convention. Of 398 persons interviewed, 135 (34%) reported gastroenteritis. Nine had culture-confirmed salmonella infection. People who ate turkey were 4.6 times more likely to become ill than those who did not eat turkey (95% confidence interval 2.0, 10.6). We estimate that of 2430 attendees, 824 became ill. Sanitarians judged Restaurant A's kitchen too small to prepare over 500 meals safely. The cooked turkey was unrefrigerated for several hours, incompletely rewarmed, and rinsed with water to reduce its offensive odour prior to serving. Stronger sanctions may be needed against restaurants that repeatedly fail local health department inspection.

Policy makers find much mental health research irrelevant to their concerns. What types of research would directly assist those who formulate policy? The two purposes of this paper are (i) to identify important gaps in completed research, particularly in relation to the National Service Framework (NSF) for Mental Health (Department of Health, 1999a) and the NHS Plan (NHS Confederation, 2001); and (ii) to translate these gaps into researchable questions that can contribute to a debate about the future research agenda for general adult mental health in England.
