HealthDay News reported Nov. 22 that researchers used a sample of 3,680 women taken from the 2005 U.S. National Alcohol Survey. They correlated eight measures for past-year and lifetime alcohol use with the women’s reports of physical and sexual abuse in childhood.  "The take-home message is across a range of alcohol consumption patterns, child abuse is consistently associated with alcohol abuse," said lead researcher, E. Anne Lown, DrPH, of the Alcohol Research Group. "All of my measures found that association." Investigators controlled for a variety of factors, including education...

One such method is to take a new, but reasonable, scientific hypothesis and run with it, long past the current state of the evidence. We see this with the many bogus stem cell therapy clinics that are popping up in parts of the world with lax regulation. This type of medical pseudoscience is particularly challenging to deal with, because there is a scientific paper trail that seems to support many of the claims of proponents. The claims themselves may have significant plausibility, and parts of the claims may in fact be true. Efforts to educate the public about such treatments are frustrated by the mainstream media’s lazy tendency to di...

It’s also a good time to look at two stories related to Super Bowl Sunday. The first is the largely debunked myth that domestic violence calls spike around Super Bowl Sunday and other drinking holidays of the year (like New Year’s). Snopes originally tracked down the myth and showed it to be nothing more than another urban legend. Since their last update on the myth in 2005, however (and our article 4 years ago), there’s been further research examining the myth. A 2007 study by Oths & Robertson examined 2,387 crisis call records covering a previous 3-year period. They supplemented the call records with...

The results are stunning as they compared normal, non-delinquent teens with the abused, the delinquent, the violent and the homicidal. Each group of 30 teenagers were assessed for total expenses, victimization costs, and criminal justice expenditures.       The 17 years cost were; Normal, non-delinquent youth – $150,754 Abused, delinquent, and violent youth – $301,508 Homicidal youth – $3,935,433 Incredibly the cost to society of homicidal youth is 26 times the cost of a normal non-delinquent youth. While the severe personal costs to the victims and to the youth themselves needs to be addressed public health policies need to work on these issues more effective...
