Personal Privacy in an Information Society. Recommendations

The Commission's approach to the problems described in this chapter has been to focus on strengthening and balancing the relationship between the individual insurance applicant, policyholder, or claimant and the insurance institution with whom he deals. As indicated at the outset, the Commission's recommendations have three objectives: (1) to c

Personal Privacy in an Information Society. Type or paste your content here

Both life and health and property and liability insurers routinely disclose information about an applicant or insured to the agent, to the extent necessary to service the policy; to reinsurers (when a company underwriting a large policy wants to reduce its exposure to loss); to an insured's physician; to inspection bureaus to facilitate the prepar

Personal Privacy in an Information Society. Record Keeping and Personal Privacy

One need only glance at the dramatic changes in our country during the last hundred years to understand why the relationship between organizational record keeping and personal privacy has become an issue in almost all modern societies. The records of a hundred years ago tell little about the average American, except when he died, perhaps when and

Toward Understanding Homelessness: The 2007 National Symposium on Homelessness Research. Homeless Youth in the United States: Recent Research Findings and Intervention Approaches. Conclusion

Much has been learned since Robertson and Toro reviewed the literature on homeless youth for the 1998 National Symposium on Homelessness Research. Yet many important questions remain unanswered. Several areas, in particular, could be the focus of future research.

In addition to research on how to best address the needs of youth who are already homeless, other studies have focused on preventive interventions.

Toward Understanding Homelessness: The 2007 National Symposium on Homelessness Research. Homeless Youth in the United States: Recent Research Findings and Intervention Approaches. New Areas of Research Since 1998

Several new areas of research on homeless youth have emerged since Robertson and Toro completed their review for the 1998 National Symposium on Homelessness Research. These areas include longitudinal studies of homeless youth, research on youth leaving the foster care and juvenile justice systems, and intervention and prevention research. Also th

Toward Understanding Homelessness: The 2007 National Symposium on Homelessness Research. Homeless Youth in the United States: Recent Research Findings and Intervention Approaches. Introduction

Homelessness among adolescents and young adults is a major social concern in the United States. Robertson and Toro (1999) concluded that youth maybe the single age group most at risk of becoming homeless. Nevertheless, most of the research that has been conducted over the last two decades has focused on homeless adults, including those with menta

Public Health Laboratories and Health System Change . Traditional Definition of Core Services

Historically, public health laboratories (PHLs) have focused activities on specified core functions. Considered broadly, these functions encompass activities in support of the three charges of all public health entities: (1) assessment, (2) policy development, and (3) assurance. 3 PHLs perform functions directly associated with these objectives,

Public Health Laboratories and Health System Change . Private Clinical Laboratory Environment

As the private sector counterparts to PHLs, and also as an increasing source of competition, private clinical laboratories are a central element of the PHL operating environment.

Public Health Laboratories and Health System Change . Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and PHLs

Because of the close tie between the PHL core laboratory functions and the disease surveillance and epidemiology functions of the CDC, the greatest potential for collaboration between PHLs and the federal government lies within the CDC. The PHL relationship with the CDC is robust, and one that is important for national disease surveillance.

Public Health Laboratories and Health System Change . Study Methods

Due to the novelty of the topic and the consequent paucity of published information, it was necessary to go beyond the available literature by conducting interviews of public and private experts in clinical laboratory issues. We also performed case studies of states with PHLs that have had experience in dealing with health market change in order t

Public Health Laboratories and Health System Change . Introduction

This study examines the role of public health laboratories (PHLs) in the changing health care market, with an emphasis on delineating the relationship between PHLs and managed care. The topic is becoming the focus of considerable attention, particularly as the growth of managed care continues to alter the landscape of health care, and as emerging

Beginning Too Soon: Adolescent Sexual Behavior, Pregnancy and Parenthood. A Review of Research and Interventions.. Conclusions

Adolescence is usually too young an age to become a parent in the contemporary United States. This is largely because raising a child takes patience and resources that are acquired in advanced societies gradually with age, education, and experience. Moreover, among adolescents, it is those who are least well prepared to nurture and raise a child w
