Child Health Services Research offers a practical introduction to the foundations, primary methods, and applications of children's health services research. This valuable resource describes various approaches to children's health services research, shows how these approaches differ from methods used in relation to adult health, and demonstrates the value that can be added by outcomes research. In doing so, Child Health Services Research also examines various aspects of child health in the context of the household, hospital, health system, community, and policy arenas.
Choosing Unsafe Sex focuses on the ways in which condom refusal and
beliefs regarding HIV testing reflect women's hopes for their
relationships and their desires to preserve status and self-esteem.
Many of the inner-city women who participated in Dr. Sobo's
research were seriously involved with one man, and they had heavy
emotional and social investments in believing or maintaining that
their partners were faithful to them. Uninvolved women had
similarly heavy investments in their abilities to identify or
choose potential partners who were HIV-negative. Women did not see
themselves as being at risk for HIV infection, and so they saw no
need for condoms. But they did recommend that other women, whom
they saw as quite likely to be involved with sexually unfaithful
men, use them.
