Showing papers in "Health Policy and Education in 1982"

TL;DR: Data from the World Fertility Survey in ten Third World countries are used to test the conclusion, based on a Nigerian study, that material education is important in reducing child mortality and suggest that schooling introduces parents to a global culture of largely Western origin and loosens their ties to traditional cultures.

TL;DR: The analysis does suggest that income differences cannot explain all the effect or perhaps even as much as half of the effect of parental education, but better nutrition among the children of the more educated has been well-documented.

TL;DR: The empirical analysis confirms that in urban areas the availability of medical services, family planning activities, transportational infrastructure and climate, in addition to mother's education, are associated with child mortality ratios and fertility within a birth cohort of mothers.

TL;DR: Even incomplete mortality data of the type collected in household surveys or censuses can yield estimates which are very close to those based on the much richer wealth of data collected in detailed maternity histories, according to this paper.

TL;DR: The multivariate model showed that the sanitation variables began to appear as significant correlates of levels of life expectancy in the more recent time period, playing a larger role than level of income per capita.

TL;DR: This paper explores the mechanism through which socioeconomic status affects infant deaths in rural Bangladesh and finds that both neonatal deaths and postneonatal deaths were found to be higher in number among those whose mothers have no schooling.

TL;DR: Education is not a statistically significant predictor for the mortality probability of males in either age group, but it is a significant and robust predictor of female mortality in the postneonatal period.

TL;DR: It is suggested that an increase in the number of blacks in the health professions along with more black participation in health decision/policy-making could lead to a substantial improvement in the overall health care of blacks.

TL;DR: It is argued that a unified-charge system for paying teaching hospitals would eliminate most of the issues currently associated with the financing of graduate medical education as matters of public policy.

TL;DR: This paper argues that the traditional approach taken to selection--using the criterion-prediction model--has limited utility in the training of health care professionals.

TL;DR: An examination of the different kinds of education available to Third Worlders shows that formal schooling is generally regarded as a passport to urban employment, and education for the sake of increased knowledge and/or improved welfare is a luxury only the wealthier can afford.

TL;DR: Health Educators, due to frustration caused by inadequte role definition, may choose administration as a career as it is easier identified.

TL;DR: Preliminary results indicate that the procedure is capable of improving the in-residency success levels of selected applicants, and that these levels can be better predicted than when no formal, i.e., analytic, process is followed.

TL;DR: How education and health are linked in developing countries and what educational activities produce change are quite uncertain, and it is suggested that prospective longitudinal studies, household surveys, and field observations might well be added to the more usual multivariate analyses of records.

TL;DR: The focus of this bibliography is education’s effect on health status in developing countries and some of the most relevant articles have been cited and annotated.

TL;DR: The 3 papers presented in this section attempt to explain variations in child mortality using regression models in which a large number of independent variables appear in a reduced form obtained from an underlying structural system.

TL;DR: The development of medical education units in the Southeast Asian medical schools is still far from satisfactory, partly caused by a lack of information regarding the objectives and organizations of such units.

TL;DR: Taking into consideration time lags, correlation and regression analysis are executed to explain the difference in health levels which exist among countries, to show that the educational and economic effects on health development vary according to the economic level of the countries.

TL;DR: The statistical evidence on the relationship between education and health is impressively strong, but a causal link remains to be established and advocacy of a higher priority to education in development and health improvement strategies is adequate.

TL;DR: It is given some indication, perhaps contrary to general belief, that the rapid social change undergone by families who migrate from the country to an urban slum may be associated with an improvement in nutrition of the children.

TL;DR: The study of the association of parents' education and child mortality must be understood in the historic perspective of the different and complex social changes that are taking place in the societies of the 3rd world.

TL;DR: This essay more specifically addresses several micro issues that directly impinge on the delivery of health services to millions of college and university students.

TL;DR: There is evidence of considerable innovativeness among the states prior to Federal program initiatives, and a problem-generated search for solutions seems to be a major source of this innovation.

TL;DR: The discussion points out that continuing education does not, by its mere presence, assure continuing competency, and several suggestions are offered.

TL;DR: Using data from a 1975 hospital wage survey, the relationship between accreditation status and hourly wages of 590 female full-time medical record technicians in four metropolitan areas was examined and revealed the willingness of employers to hire MRT's not accredited, while being willing to pay a premium for accreditation.
