Families That Care---Guiding Good Choices (GGC) is a multimedia program that gives parents of children in grades four through eight (8 to 13 years old) the knowledge and skills needed to guide their children through early adolescence.
Over the past 20 years, research has shown that positive parental involvement is an important protective factor that increases school success and buffers children against later problems such as substance abuse, violence, and risky behaviors.
Youth in the GGC group who had initiated substance use at the 1-year followup were significantly less likely to have progressed to more frequent or varied substance use than youth in the control group.
The GGC curriculum was field-tested for 2 years in 10 Seattle public schools before being made into a video-assisted program for wider distribution in 1987.

Continuity of care: patients' and carers' views and choices in their use of primary care services.
Continuity of care has long been regarded as an important feature of primary care, and a new, multi-attribute definition has recently been proposed1.
However, little is known of how patients and carers view aspects of continuity in different contexts and at different times in their life.
The study will take place in Leicestershire and West London, covering a wide range of settings and service providers, including 35 practices with a wide range of characteristics such as size, location, and deprivation.
Views on the meaning and relative importance of different aspect of continuity of care will be elicited through semi-structured interviews with 75-100 patients and carers, recruited from local practices and other providers (e.g. NHS walk-in centres, complementary therapists).

ETHICAL CHOICES IN LONG-TERM CARE: WHAT DOES JUSTICE REQUIRE?
Society functions best as a harmonious whole when care that is consistent with respect for the individual is available to all, enabling those who have resources to enjoy their full benefits, while providing security to those who are less fortunate.
ISSUES OF GENDER: Tradition, deeply embedded notions of a woman's social worth and the value of her work, and the distribution of power within a society all explain, in part, why caregiving tasks have fallen disproportionately on women.

The Most Difficult Issues ("Polarizers" in 1996) Vermonters' Highest Priorities Why Are Health Care Costs So High?
In the fall of 1996, after publication of the report, the commission held a conference with legislators and the public at the statehouse to present its findings.
In 1996, Vermonters said there were nine "major factors" driving up health care costs and they did not greatly differentiate among them.
But in 2002, the top health care cost issue was "the cost of prescription drugs," an issue that was not even on the radar screen in the fall of 1996.
Compared to the public as a whole, those without health insurance and with an annual income under $35,000 are more likely to say health care costs are rising because of inadequate preventive care.
