{"title":"New sterilization regs lengthen waiting time to 30 days.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"New sterilization regulations lengthen waiting time to 30 days, from the previous 72 hours required by regulations issued in 1974. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) Secretary Califano said the regulations \"strictly\" limit the se of federal funds \"to sterilizations for individuals who knowingly and freely consent to them and prohibit HEW funding of coerced and uninformed sterilizations or of sterilizations based on hasty decisions.\" Califano said th compliance with the regulations will be rigidly monitored and that HEW is instituting a bilingual education program to make certain they are understood. The new regulations include a detailed HEW-approved consent form requiring certification by medical personnel that the patient has received, both in writing and orally, an explanation of the operation, advice about alternate forms of birth control, and assurances that no federal benefits will be lost if sterilization is refused. The 30-day waiting period between the time consent is given and the operation is performed can be waived in cases of premature delivery and emergency abdominal surgery. To reduce chances of the operation being chosen under duress, consent cannot be obtained from anyone in labor, under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, or seeking or obtaining an abortion. Interpreters must be provided where language barriers exist and special arrangements are required for handicapped persons. Funds cannot be provided for hysterectomies performed for sterilization purposes. Patients undergoing hysterectomies for medical reasons must be advised orally and in writing that sterilization will result. The new regulations, to take effect in 90 days, also eliminate the distinction between therapeutic and nontherapeutic sterilization and provide that safeguards be applied uniformly to all federally funded sterilizations. Sterilization funding will not be available for prisoners or those confined to mental hospitals or other rehabilitative facilities. The prohibition against using federal funds for sterilization of mentally incompetent persons and those under 21 years of age continues.","PeriodicalId":84606,"journal":{"name":"Drug research reports","volume":"21 46","pages":"RN-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22032549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More research on the pill and alternative methods (of contraception). 更多关于避孕药和替代避孕方法的研究。

Drug research reports Pub Date : 1978-05-31

{"title":"More research on the pill and alternative methods (of contraception).","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"More research on the pill and alternative methods of contraception was urged by Ralph Nader's Health Research Group (HRG), which also recommended that the Food and Drug Administration develop a new patient package insert for all forms of contraceptives, including nonprescription methods. The group also said the government and drug companies should share the cost of long-term follow-up studies of the effects on health of the pill and other birth control methods. The recommendations followed presentations at an HRG forum from NIH scientists and S. Ramcharan, principal investigator of the Walnut Creek (California) Contraceptive Study supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Ramcharan studied 15,000 women over 10 years and found cervical cancer incidence of 173/100,000 person years for women who used the pill for more than 4 years, compared with a rate of 32/100,000 for women who never used the pill. Ramcharan declined to draw any cause-effect conclusions based on these results, stating they were \"confounded\" by possible differences in sexual activity between the 2 groups. She said a preliminary case comparison study to adjust for these differences \"suggests sexual behavior may account for some, but not all,\" of the 5-fold increase in cervical cancer incidence among pill users. HRG director S. Wolfe said enough data exists to state a relationship between the pill and cervical cancer. \"There's no other explanation for the increase,\" he said, adding that Ramcharan had controlled for the effects of age, education, marital status, number of Papanicolaou smears, religion, number of pregnancies, a history of genital infections, and smoking. Forum participants urged more research on contraceptive devices and drugs now in use, long-term effects of sterilization, value of condoms and spermicides in preventing VD, and development of a patient package insert for all forms of contraception stating the relative effectiveness and risks of each. The group discussed the need for long-term funding of follow-up studies, and suggested that drug companies be required to pay for at least some of the pre- and postmarketing research.","PeriodicalId":84606,"journal":{"name":"Drug research reports","volume":"21 22","pages":"RN-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22022530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

House subcmte. tightens abortion language. 房子subcmte。收紧堕胎语言。

Drug research reports Pub Date : 1978-05-10

{"title":"House subcmte. tightens abortion language.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Medicaid would help pay for abortion in fewer circumstances under the fiscal 1979 Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW), appropriations bill approved May 4, 1978, by the House HEW Appropriations Subcommittee than it did in 1978. The new language would permit the funding only if the mother's life would be endangered if the pregnancy were carried to term. Current law permits abortion payments for this reason; if pregnancy results from rape or incest, or if the birth would cause the mother severe and long-lasting physical damage. Behind the scenes pressure probably will be applied to resolve the issue quickly this year since all House members are up for reelection and do not want to have such a sensitive issue intruding on their campaigns. 1 strategy being discussed is the inclusion of riders that would directly or indirectly provide federal funds for abortions in other appropriation measures such as funding for the Defense Department and federal employees health benefits. The House will have to contend with Senator Brooke (R-Massachusetts) ranking minority member on the Senate HEW Appropriations Subcommittee, who is determined to stand firm in favor of liberal abortion funding. With only minimal opposition for his Senate seat this year, Senate staffers say Brooke is not concerned with the possibility of abortion becoming a major campaign issue. It was Brooke who forced the House's hand last year and obtained a more relaxed abortion curb, much to the chagrin of the Carter Administration. The White House, with the President's popularity at a low ebb, would prefer not to be put in a position of taking sides publicly although it prefers the strict curbs. Carter is currently deciding which House members to assist during the campaign and such a no-win issue would only serve to complicate matters. He will have enough of a problem reconciling health spending increases without the added burden of abortion.","PeriodicalId":84606,"journal":{"name":"Drug research reports","volume":"21 19","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22032559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Human Resources Committee is expected to mark-up both bills May 3, 1978. The SIDS bill includes funds for expansion of counseling and information services, improving reporting requirements, and upgrading the SIDS unit in the Office of Maternal and Child Health. A total of $7 million is autorized for 1979. The Administration's SIDS bill includes only $3 million for 1979 and \"such sums as necessary\" for 1980-1981. The family planning bill authorizes $169 million for 1979, $197 million for 1980, $228 million for 1981, $263 million for 1982, and $300 million for 1983 to expand basic family planning services to adults and adolescents. It authorizes $42.5 million for 1979, $72 million for 1980, $105 million for 1981, $142 million for 1982, and $183 million for 1983 to provide services specifically to sexually active adolescents, plus $5 million in 1979, $7.5 million in 1980, $10 million in 1981, $12.5 million in 1982, and $15 million in 1983 for demonstration programs in infertility and to increase research in the biomedical, contraceptive development, and behavioral fields.
