Schizophrenia in Young Women and Men
This study will test the effects of residential and essentially non-medication treatment on schizophrenia. There is sufficient research to question the effectiveness of antipsychotic medications in the management of schizophrenia, the long term prognoses for patients on these medications, and the effectiveness of residential treatment (e.g., Hegarty et al., 1994). Such medication use also results in significant risk for health complications and mortality in these patients. In addition, past studies investigating a Jungian approach to the treatment of psychosis demonstrated promise (e.g., Perry, 1999), but ran out of funding in the 1980s when the development of many psychiatric medications began to dominate the treatment of psychotic disorders.
Female Leadership in Combat Units Military Author\'s
The research proposal is outlines a study into whether women should lead during combat situations. The hypothesis is that reasons to keep women out of leadership positions in combat are socially constructed, and not attributed to anything biological or psychological. The methods will mimic some of the methods presented in military studies into the same area, with individual modifications for this particular study. The plan of analysis includes ANOVA, and descriptives. The results of the study could lead to a greater understanding of how institutions manage and process change.
Tuskegee Syphilis Study: Medical Ethics and Disclosure
Conflict between Medical Research & Ethics: Case of Tuskegee Syphilis
Introduction
Each day medical providers and researchers make decisions about what information is necessary to disclose to patients and under what circumstances they should make disclosures. In the clinical setting, the negative implications of a poorly considered disclosure decision can involve simple problems such as a patient being unaware that a medication may cause nausea. However, some disclosure decisions can have more serious consequences such as a patient undergoing intensive treatment without sufficient knowledge of their poor prognosis. ( L. Carroll, 2001) In the research setting, the result of nondisclosure can range from a subject not understanding their time commitment of trial participation to more extreme consequences--such as a subject participating in research without being aware of life-threatening risks.( James H. Jones, 1993)
