Resnik S. 1994. The social history of hemophilia in the United States (1948-1988): The emergence and empowerment of a community. [New York, NY]: Columbia University School of Public Health, Division of Health Policy and Management, 345 pp.

Annotation: This doctoral dissertation chronicles and analyzes the transformation of hemophilia--an inherited, incurable blood disease--into a manageable chronic condition over the course of 40 years. It uses an ethnographic approach in juxtaposition with documentary analysis and includes a definition of hemophilia and a history of the disease and its treatment. The dissertation is divided into the following chapters: (1) introduction; (2) the dismal era; (3) emerging from the dismal era (1948-1965); (4) the 60s: the beginning of a golden interval; (5) the hemophilia community becomes politicized--the late 60s and early 70s; (6) politics and the blood business; (7) the meaning of the maternal and child health years; (8) the AIDS era begins: the years of confusion and denial (1980-1982); (9) the AIDS era: conflicts between lay and medical leadership emerge (1983-1985); (10) the AIDS era (1985-1988): the hemophilia community rises to the challenge; and (11) conclusions. End notes, references, and a bibliography are provided. The appendices include a glossary; informant discussions, forms, codes, shapers and witnesses; research methods; a list of hemophilia treatment centers and chapters; federal program regions; treatment center outcome data; HIV hemophilia data; the Tri-Agency Model; and the evolution of the U.S. hemophilia culture.

Gomperts E. 1993. Collaborative Study of the Effects of HIV on Development of Hemophilic Children [Final report]. Los Angeles, CA: Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, 88 pp.

Annotation: This project examined a very important group of children infected with HIV. The patients studied included children with hemophilia who received repeated infusions of clotting factor concentrate derived from pooled human plasma prior to routine screening of the blood supply. This prospective longitudinal study examined changes in neurological and neuropsychological functioning, physical growth and development, and immunological status in hemophilic children exposed to HIV and in matched control groups of HIV-negative children with hemophilia and siblings of children with hemophilia.

National Hemophilia Foundation, Department of AIDS Education and Preventive Services. 1992. Reaching out to culturally diverse hemophilia populations: Chapter outreach demonstration project. New York, NY: National Hemophilia Foundation, 252 pp.

Annotation: To bridge the gap in access to health services between Caucasians and other ethnic populations, the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau funded a project to identify culturally diverse hemophiliac populations and facilitate their access to comprehensive care. This project is called the Chapter Outreach Demonstration Project. This manual codifies the experiences of NHF chapters and other hemophilia associations in developing plans to work with hemophilia treatment centers and community-based organizations to link the target population with needed services. Chapters cover program planning, program set-up, training, outreach interventions, evaluation and funding. Special appendices cover case studies, a bibliography, and a listing of resources.

Perrin J. 1992. Stress, Bleeding, and Functional Status in Hemophilia [Final report]. Boston, MA: Massachusetts General Hospital, 45 pp.

Annotation: This study had four aims to: (1) Describe the patterns of bleeding in a sample of children and adolescents with hemophilia; (2) examine the relationship of stress as perceived by children or parents and the frequency of bleeding; (3) determine the rate of psychological problems among boys with hemophilia and examine the characteristics that affect that risk; (4) determine the impact of bleeding on the functioning of children and adolescents with hemophilia. Approximately 100 school age children with hemophilia were studied for a period of 6 months. The study found high rates of bleeding associated with trauma. It also found that the impact of stress in increasing the likelihood of bleeding is clinically relatively small, suggesting that the impact of improved stress management will also be small. The study showed a high rate of psychological problems among children with hemophilia. It also demonstrated a strong link between maternal self-esteem and the psychological functioning of the child. In addition, types of parenting were associated with different levels of social competence. These findings suggest psychological and social functioning of children with hemophilia may be improved through work with parents rather than directly with children.

Annotation: This manual, prepared in conjunction with the Comprehensive Hemophilia Program at Bowman Gray School of Medicine, was originally designed to guide participants in the Community Outreach Demonstration Project (CODP). This MCHB-funded project has as its major goal the identification of ethnic minority patients with hemophilia and the provision of relevant education and comprehensive treatment. The principles in the manual, however, can be used by all community groups engaged in a broad range of educational, medical, and social service outreach efforts.

Gossert D. 1989. Family Assessment Project: [Final report]. Denver, CO: Colorado Department of Health , 19 pp.

Annotation: This project developed and refined a family assessment questionnaire and data base, collected data on previously unsurveyed populations of chronically ill children, established the prevalence rate of psychosocial distress among families with chronically ill children, and assessed their readiness for intervention. The goal was to separate out those families at high risk who were not connected to any agency from those at high risk who were using community services. Those high-risk, unconnected families were to have first priority for social work intervention. Through this screening process, scarce staff time was to be directed to those families most in need of services. Services were to be targeted for the coordination of all the agencies involved with a family. Intervention was based on communication from the family.

Cohen H. 1989. Financing Health Care for Chronically Ill and Disabled Children [Final report]. Bronx, NY: Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 174 pp.

Annotation: This project analyzed the utilization, expenditures, and financing of health care for children and young adults with three different chronic conditions: autism, hemophilia, and severe mental retardation. The purpose of the study was to collect reliable and accurate national data on low incidence conditions useful for making public policy. Among the many policy concerns that the data addressed, two stood out: access to health care services and an equitable system of financing of those services.
