Maternal Disciplinary Practices in an At-Risk Population
Article Abstract:
The reasons involved for a mother's discipline of a child along with her methods of instilling that discipline were studied. A set of five reasons for discipline were established and mothers qualified for the study if she had experienced three of them, making 186 women with children between seven and nine years of age participants in the study. The five behaviors were disobedience, fighting with a younger child, disrespect, lying, and stealing. Methods of discipline were divided into 13 levels graded from doing nothing through reasoning through limit setting, to mild physical force and all the way to severe physical force.

Use of public immunization services after initiation of a universal vaccine purchase program
Article Abstract:
Many North Carolina families use public immunization services despite a state universal vaccine purchase program. The state pays for the vaccine administered by a private doctor, although the doctor may charge a fee for administering the vaccine. Legally, the fee must be waived if the family cannot pay it, but according to a survey of 64 adults who took their child to a public vaccination clinic, many families do not know this. Also, many families on Medicaid who use public vaccination facilities do not know Medicaid will pay private doctors' fees.

Vaccine-associated liability risk and provider immunization practices
Article Abstract:
Physicians do not refrain from immunizing children because of potential legal liability, apparently, but from a belief in potentially harful effects of the vaccine during such a time in the child's life. In a mail survey of 1,165 pediatricians and 1,849 family physicians, the pediatricians were more likely to know of state programs protecting them from liability in immunizations. The pediatricians were also more inclined to believe that vaccination can be safely given during a chronic illness, or to a child with a family history of seizures.
