Title: What if: How declines in teen births have improved poverty and child well-being in South Dakota.
Author: National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy
Source: Washington, D.C., National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, 2005 Apr. 3 p.
Abstract: Years of research have closely linked teen pregnancy and early childbearing to a host of other critical social issues, including overall child health and well-being, out-of-wedlock births, educational attainment and workforce readiness, responsible fatherhood, and poverty in particular -- especially child poverty. For example, young children born to a mother who is a teenager, is not married, and did not finish high school are nine times more likely to be poor than children born to mothers without these three risk factors. Adolescent pregnancy and childbearing cost taxpayers at least $7 billion annually and place a serious economic burden on schools and on health, welfare and social service systems. The U.S. teen birth rate declined by 30 percent between 1991 and 2002--a significant decrease that has made major contributions to American communities. Illustrating this very point, the U.S. Congress' Joint Economic Committee completed an analysis in April 2004 that the National Campaign in turn summarized. The congressional study posed an intriguing question: if the nation's teen birth rate had remained at its 1991 level through 2002 (rather than decreasing as it did), how many more children would have been born to teen mothers and to single mothers, and what would have been the effect on poverty and on the living arrangements of children? Findings included the following: if teen birth rates had not declined nationally by 30 percent during that time, there would have been an additional 1.2 million more children born to teen mothers, approximately 460,000 additional children in poverty and almost 700,000 more children living with a single mother.

Title: Emergency contraceptive pills: dispensing practices, knowledge and attitudes of South Dakota pharmacists.
Author: Van Riper KK; Hellerstedt WL
Source: Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health. 2005;37(1):19-24.
Abstract: Despite a decision by the Food and Drug Administration to deny over-the-counter status to emergency contraceptive pills, pharmacists play a critical role in a woman�s access to this medication, especially in areas with large rural populations. Pharmacists� knowledge about and attitudes toward emergency contraceptive pills may affect whether pharmacies carry the medication and whether individual pharmacists dispense it. In October 2003, all registered pharmacists living and working in South Dakota were mailed a survey to assess their dispensing practices for, knowledge about and attitudes toward emergency contraceptive pills. Data for 501 respondents were analyzed through chi-square testing and multivariate logistic regression. Fifty-four percent of respondents worked in pharmacies that carried emergency contraceptive pills. Of these, 67% had dispensed the medication in 2003, and 24% were not comfortable providing customer counseling about the method. Thirty-seven percent of all pharmacists did not understand its mechanism of action; 43% and 21%, respectively, incorrectly answered questions about the medication�s link to birth defects and health risks. Only 5% correctly answered all three questions. Eighty-four percent of surveyed pharmacists believed that the medication should not be made available over the counter. Multivariate analysis showed that knowledge of emergency contraception and support for over-the-counter status were relatively low among pharmacists working in small communities. The education of pharmacists about emergency contraceptive pills must be strengthened to ensure that women receive accurate medical information and access to all contraceptive services. (author's)

Title: Consequences of population change for retail/wholesale sector employment in the nonmetropolitan Great Plains: 1950-1996.
Author: Adamchak DJ; Bloomquist LE; Bausman K; Qureshi R
Source: RURAL SOCIOLOGY. 1999 Mar;64(1):92-112.
Abstract: This study examined the relationship between population decline in 438 counties and local retail and wholesale (R/W) sectors during 1950-90 in the nonmetropolitan Great Plains states of North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado. The focus was on the impact of population change in a region where the R/W trade sector has been a major source of employment for nonmetropolitan residents post-1945. Population declined over the long term. Analysis was based on economic restructuring views and central place theory. Data were obtained from the Censuses of Population (1950-90) and from the County and City Data Books (1947-94). The choice of few control variables was based on Lieberson's (1985) methods. Analysis included tests for multicollinearity. Findings are reported for counties adjacent to a metro area (AM), urban nonadjacent (UN) counties, and rural nonadjacent (RN) counties. Findings indicate that the 1980s had the greatest population loss (84% of counties), despite the population increases of the 1970s. AM counties followed the regional pattern. UN counties followed the regional pattern only in recent decades. RN counties lost population throughout the period and had the greatest percentage of counties losing population. Population change had a positive significant effect on R/W employment throughout the period and in all types of counties. Trade became more concentrated in larger, more diverse, and fewer trade centers, especially in UN counties. Gains occurred in the 1990s. Four anomalies were identified. Findings support the work of Drabenstott and Smith (1996).

Title: Clinicians, patients, Medicaid: is anyone to blame for Norplant removal dilemma? Part II.
Source: CONTRACEPTIVE TECHNOLOGY UPDATE. 1993 Oct;14(10):149-53.
Abstract: A recent survey has explored issues arising from the introduction of the contraceptive implant, Norplant. It shows that if clinicians properly counsel women about Norplant's side effects and possible problems before insertion, continuation rates are higher than they are among women not receiving such counseling. The study also finds that good counseling prior to insertion helps women learn that they are not appropriate candidates for Norplant. An ethical issue facing planning providers, clients, and payers is limited access to removal Norplant and it centers around money. A recent survey on each state's policies on Norplant removal conducted among officials from state health departments reveals that many private clinicians insert Norplant within a short period after childbirth, when Medicaid often reimburses for insertion, but they do not remove Norplant when the women suffer side effects because the complaints follow the 60-day postpartum Medicaid eligibility. Clinicians also do not tell the women that they must pay for Norplant removal. This practice does not allow women to make decisions about their own body. In South Dakota, Medicaid pays for Norplant removal, only if a medical indication exists. Medicaid's practice of not paying for removal gives the perception of discouraging poor women from reproducing. The question comes down to whether coercion is the intent of the private physicians or they just do want to do something for which they will not be reimbursed. The National Latina Health Organization and the local media have looked into the case of inadequate counseling prior to free Norplant insertion refusal to remove Norplant free of charge in California, resulting in the clinic removing Norplant at no cost. A family planning physician suggests that Medicaid pay for insertion and removal or the initial Norplant fee should also include the cost of removal. The most important considerations about counseling are that it be patient centered and informs women about side effects in language they understand.

Title: Hutterite fecundability by age and parity: strategies for frailty modeling of event histories.
Author: Larsen U; Vaupel JW
Source: DEMOGRAPHY. 1993 Feb;30(1):81-102.
Abstract: Fecundability decline after age 20 and with increasing parity, the degree of heterogeneity among women their fecundability, and the proportion of fecund women with persistently low or high monthly chances of live-birth conception were studies. The methodology included persistent heterogeneity in fecundability analysis and the use of multiple-spell duration data. A natural-fertility population with no use of contraception was selected: 406 Hutterite women in North America, a communally oriented Christian sect, who had 3206 births, mainly in the 1940s and 1950s. About one-half of the Hutterites migrated from Russian to escape persecution and settled in 3 colonies in the Dakotas in the 1870s. The sample is drawn exclusively from the colony of the S-leut. 10 children/women over age 45 was the modal value in the sample. In Model 1, the age schedule of fecundability and heterogeneity in fecundability were determined. In Model 2, the age schedule of conditional fecundability was analyzed. In Model 3, the simultaneous effects of age and parity on conditional fecundability were examined. The monthly probability of a live-birth conception was about one-third as high at age 35 as at age 20. Concerning conditional fecundability, the monthly probability of a live-birth conception declined to one-half from age 20 to age 35 (partly because of more prevalent fetal loss beyond age 35) irrespective of the effect of parity of 5-6 months assumed as the typical period of postpartum amenorrhea. At age 20 the woman who had a child waited about 4 months to live-birth conception, and at age 35 she waited about 8 months. Changing-frailty (i.e. fecundability) models are being developed for assessing the process and incidence of becoming sterile (the level of 0 frailty) between ages and parity in effective fecundability.

Title: An Act to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 39, Chapter 13, Part 5, to require that certain tests be performed on persons arrested for committing certain criminal offenses [30 April 1992].
Author: United States. Tennessee
Source: PUBLIC ACTS. 1992;:944-5. Chapter 948.
Abstract: This Act requires a court to order any defendant convicted of the crime of prostitution to submit to a test for HIV. Such a defendant shall pay for the test and shall receive counseling if the test results are positive. On 10 April 1992, the state of Kentucky enacted legislation requiring HIV testing for persons convicted of sex crimes. Persons who have been charged with such crimes shall be notified of the availability of HIV testing. See State Session Laws, 1992, Chapter 389, pp. 1119-1120. On 28 February 1992, the state of South Dakota amended legislation allowing the testing of defendants in sexual assault cases, at the request of victims, to authorize such testing in cases of assault or violence and to allow a law enforcement officer to make such a request. See State Session Laws, 1992, Chapter 172, pp. 245-246. In 1992, the state of Maine enacted legislation to allow a court, at a victim's request, to require an HIV test of a person convicted of gross sexual assault. Before such an order is made, a victim must prove that an alleged exposure to blood or bodily fluids created a significant risk of HIV infection and that consent was not given by the offender for voluntary testing. See Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, Part 23, Chapter 501, Section 19203-E. On 3 April 1992, the state of Oklahoma enacted legislation requiring all prisons and correctional institutions to notify correctional officers when an inmate is infected with HIV or has AIDS. See State Session Laws, 1992, pp. 109-110.

Title: An Act to amend Code Section 17-10-15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to HIV testing of persons who commit AIDS transmitting crimes, so as to provide procedures for such tests on persons arrested for certain offenses [11 April 1991].
Author: United States. Georgia
Source: GEORGIA LAWS. 1991;1:974-7. Act No. 411.
Abstract: This Act authorizes the victim of a sexual offense or other crime involving significant exposure to HIV to request that the person arrested for the offense submit to a test for HIV. If the person arrested refuses, a judge may order the test on a showing of probable cause. In addition, in cases in which there is a verdict of no contest or guilty with respect to an AIDS transmitting crime, the court shall order the defendant to be tested for HIV. On 31 July 1991, the state of Louisiana authorized a court to order the testing of persons indicted for sex offenses. On 5 August 1991, the state required persons convicted of sex offenses to be so tested. See State of Louisiana, Acts of the Legislature, 1991, Acts Nos. 316 and 419, pp. 1199-1200 and 1461-1462. On 1 March 1991, the state of South Dakota authorized the victim of a sexual assault to request the testing of the defendant and a judge to order the testing if probable cause is shown. See South Dakota Session Laws, 1991, Chapter 203, pp. 250-251. On 12 March 1991, the state of Tennessee required a court, at the request of a victim of a sex offense, to order the testing of the person convicted of that offense. See Public Acts, 1991, Chapter 25, pp. 27-28. On 21 March 1991, the state of Mississippi required the testing of persons convicted of a sex offense and sentenced to prison. See General Laws of the State of Mississippi, 1991, Chapter 425, pp. 349-350. On 20 April 1991, the state of Montana required all persons convicted of a sex offense to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection. See Montana Session Laws, 1991, Chapter 504, pp. 1612-1613. On 9 October 1991, the state of California extended the operation of state law on the testing of prisoners for HIV infection until 1994, required law enforcement agencies to file yearly reports on requests made for testing of prisoners and ensure confidentiality in these reports, and narrowed the circumstances in which testing can be ordered if no request is made. See Deering's California Codes Annotated, Advance Legislative Service, Chapter 768, 1991.

Title: Social indicators and infant mortality: a regional study of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana, 1980.
Author: DeWitt DC
Source: Ann Arbor, Michigan, University Microfilms International, 1989. 198 p. Publication order number DA9007440
Abstract: "This research was an investigation of the relationship of selected social indicators to variations in the rates of infant mortality in the region comprising the states of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana. In addition to regional and state considerations special attention was given to variations in infant mortality rates with respect to the racial compositions of counties within the area under examination. Quality-of-life factors also were examined in the research....Counties with high proportions of Indians were found to have higher rates of infant mortality. Moveover, it was found that the greater the racial heterogeneity of a state's population the more statistically significant the association between individual measures of quality-of-life and the infant mortality rate." This work was prepared as a doctoral dissertation at South Dakota State University. (EXCERPT)

Author: Nelson JI
Source: New York, New York/London, England, Garland, 1989. 206 p. (Garland Studies in Historical Demography)
Abstract: "This study investigated age- and sex-specific death rates in South Dakota Counties [United States] among the population 65 and over in 1960, 1970 and 1980. Census Bureau and Vital Statistics data were employed to answer the basic question of how death rates and quality of life factors were related. Quality of life factors included: economics, urbanization, health technology, and education, which were operationalized at the county level. A description of county quality of life factors and age- and sex-specific death rates for males and females was presented. County death rates for the older population were regressed with county quality of life factors for each of the study years. A relationship between quality of life factors and death rates was found to exist in fifteen of the thirty-three death rates examined." (EXCERPT)

Title: The effect of integrating family planning into an existing free medical care system on fertility: an analysis of the fertility of American Indians, Guam and American Samoa.
Author: LeNoir RG; Gundlach JH
Source: [Unpublished] 1979. Presented at the 48th Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 26, 1979. 10 p.
Abstract: An attempt was made to estimate the effect of the integration of a family planning program into the Indian Health Services medical care program in 1965 on American Indian fertility. The methods used for the estimation were a combination of the changing birth rates procedure and the multivariate approach. The assessment of the effect of the family planning program was indirect due to limitations in the available data. The calculated measures of changing fertility and access to free medical care that include family planning are reported for 15 states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin) and Guam and American Samoa. The percentage change in fertility over the 4 years the family planning program was in effect are given. In both regressions the measures of the percent of the population that had access to the family planning program that was integrated into the free medicare care delivery system were negatively related to changes in fertility, i.e., they were associated with declining fertility. In both regressions the partial Beta's were greater than -.35, indicating a relatively strong impact on reducing fertility. A total fertility impact of about 26% is suggested, but only 30% of the Native American population had access to the program. If 30% of the population reduced fertility by 26%, the total impact would be a 7.8% reduction. This suggests that about 1/4 of the decline in Native American fertility may have been because of the family planning program. More research is required before policy recommendations can be made.

Title: The nurse practitioner in family planning services: law and practice.
Author: ROEMER R
Source: Family Planning/Population Reporter. 1977 Jun;6(3): 28-34.
Abstract: Before 1971, when Idaho became the 1st state to authorize expanded scope of functions for registered nurses, nearly all states made it illegal for any nurse to perform diagnosis or prescribe treatment, creating an ambiguity as more and more nurses were equipped by education and technology to perform new tasks. Today 30 states have liberalized the scope of nursing functions, making it possible for nurses and nurse-midwives to assume, among other tasks, family planning functions. A table gives the status of legislation and regulations governing nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives in each state. The area of greatest controversy is the prescription of oral contraceptives. In some states it is allowed under doctor's supervision or in rural areas or in areas where clear need exists for a nurse to dispense such medication. Usually this dispensing is limited to a single course of treatment. Nurse-midwives are rapidly being accepted as extensions of scarce medical facilities. Generally nurse-midwives are authorized to provide prenatal and postpartum care, to handle normal deliveries, and do family planning work including fitting diaphragms and inserting and removing IUDs. An innovation is the family planning nurse practitioner. Several courses for such practitioners have been set up across the U.S. Graduates may, with medical direction, perform bimanual pelvic examinations and breast examinations, take blood pressure, prescribe contraception, fit diaphragms, insert IUDs, examine vaginal secretions microscopically, and refer patients with problems to physicians. In a California program both registered and nonregistered nurses are being trained as women's health specialists who may make routine examinations in both pregnant and nonpregnant women and give family planning advice. Non-RN family planning specialists being trained include licensed vocational nurses, baccalaureate degree holders in nonnursing fields, and qualified persons with less formal education. The 24-week course was authorized under a California State Department of Health demonstration program. While there may be serious concern that nurse-practitioners or other trained personnel may be used in place of physicians in poor neighborhoods and rural areas, others feel that use of such personnel will help make family planning and well-baby services more generally available and conserve valuable physician time for those cases which need greater skill and training.
