Breakey G. n.d.. Facilitation of Primary Care Physician Participation in Preventive Health Care of Children Age 0-5 from Underserved, Diverse Cultural Populations: [Final report]. Honolulu, HI: Hawaii Family Stress Center, 30 pp.

Annotation: This project aimed to reduce the incidence of poor health characteristics among low-income, culturally diverse populations by promoting the involvement of primary care physicians (pediatricians) in early screening and intervention. Project goals included increasing the level of preventive health care for underserved children, reducing the severity of psychosocial problems, increasing physicians' sense of involvement as part of a team in providing services to project children and their families, and demonstrating a practical process for accomplishing these goals which can be replicated across the nation.

Smilkstein G. 1995. Spouse Abuse and Pregnancy Outcomes: A Prediction Study: [Final report]. Davis, CA: University of California Research Foundation, 36 plus 22 pp. appendix pp.

Annotation: The aim of this 3-year prospective study was to assess the impact of spouse abuse, biomedical risk, and psychosocial stresses and resources upon pregnancy outcomes. It was hypothesized that a spouse-abused gravid woman's psychosocial risk, alone and in combination with biomedical risk,was associated with maternal and infant complications of pregnancy. The effect of spouse abuse during pregnancy was unknown but was hypothesized to be an additional stressor that may contribute to other risk factors. The long-term goal of the study was a more effective alerting system to identify women at high risk for delivery complications, thus facilitating earlier and more appropriate intervention for mother and infant.
