 | | METHODS: We prospectively evaluated a cohort of 1000 consecutive patients in a primary care clinic in an urban, hospital-based general medicine practice. | | | Different definitions of CFS were employed, and higher rates (0.2%) of CFS were found than in previous studies. | | | The validity of adolescent/adult comparisons within each study should not be affected by the study design. |

| | Summary Report for the ATSDR Soil-Pica Workshop June 2000, Atlanta, Georgia |
| | One panelist did not think the prevalence of soil-pica behavior among the Jamaican children should be viewed as representative of that among children in the United States, given the small size of the study and the living conditions of the children considered (BL). | | | Overall, the panelists thought their comments confirm that soil-pica exists, but they refrained from providing quantitative estimates of the prevalence of soil-pica behavior, largely because the available studies are limited in duration and not based on a population that represents all groups of children. | | | The panelists thought that such validation was needed to develop a robust characterization of the prevalence of soil-pica behavior. |

| | The lifetime prevalence rate for problem gamblers was 2.3 percent and 1.3 percent for pathological gamblers. | | | The authors' criticisms are: 1) prevalence studies should measure the "current" rate rather than "lifetime" experience; and 2) the accuracy of the South Oaks Gambling Screen in determining a pathological gambler. | | | The study also found that most problem gamblers were aware they had a problem, and most wanted to stop gambling. |

| | MJA: Hill et al., Smoking behaviours of Australian adults in 1995: trends and concerns |
| | We used chi-squared tests of association to examine differences in the prevalence of smoking between groups, and logistic regression analyses to explore whether associations between smoking prevalence, educational level, occupation and, for women, country of birth were independent of associations between age and smoking. | | | This pattern of results indicates that the lower prevalence of smoking seen in higher occupation groups is due to the relatively lower rate of taking up smoking among these groups rather than their greater success at quitting. | | | Of concern from a public health point of view is that the observed prevalence in 1995 is no lower than that in 1992, necessitating an upward adjustment of the projection to 2001 compared with our projection based on the four triennial surveys up to 1992. |

| | Estimating the Prevalence of Transsexualism |
| | It's really important to have some clue as to how prevalent a condition is, because that determines how much money is allocated to public health studies, medical research and medical treatment of that condition. | | | We can determine if they are consistent with rough projections of the prevalence of related gender conditions, and with expected ratios of the prevalence of those conditions. | | | Our results stand is sharp contrast to the value of prevalence (1:30,000) so oft-quoted by "expert authorities" in the U.S. psychiatric community to whom the media turns for such information. |

| | Sexual Abuse of Males: Prevalence, Possible Lasting Effects, and Resources |
| | A child is a person under age 16, and a sexual experience is abusive if verbal threats were used and the person feels negatively about the experience. | | | The point here is that good prevalence research must use behavioral descriptions to which definitions like "alcoholic" or "sexual abuse" may be applied. | | | Thus only by using multiple questions consisting of clear behavioral descriptions can researchers generate sufficient data to which definitions of abuse may be applied. |
