- Abstract
Cadet basic training (CBT) at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point is an initial cadet experience designed to transition freshmen (new cadets) into the military. Challenge is an inherent component of CBT, and some challenging activities may be stressful. However, the nature and the impact of stress on health status have not been systematically investigated. An ethnographic technique, participant observation, was used to identify stressors and coping strategies among cadets aged 18 to 21 years participating in CBT. A company of 183 cadets, consisting of 123 new cadets and 60 supervising upperclass cadets from the U.S. Military Academy, was followed throughout the 6-week CBT in the summer of 1993. The investigator observed daily activities and participated in select field training experiences. Daily field observations were taped, and field notes were generated chronicling the experience. After CBT, 10 of the 60 upperclass cadets participated in a 20-minute structured interview. Field and interview notes were systematically reviewed to identify and categorize stressors and coping techniques. Stressors included anticipatory stress, time management pressures, sleep deprivation, performance evaluations, conflicts between teamwork and competitive grading, and inexperience in the leadership role. Coping techniques identified included perceiving social support, humor, and rationalization. Three new hypotheses were generated from the observations.

- Abstract
Context: There is a strong need to determine what effect, if any, menstruation has on the performance of duty as a Cadet at the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, and to determine what impact, if any, the USMA environment has on the menstrual cycle., Study Objectives: To study menstrual function and premenstrual symptoms in a structured, rigorous military environment; determine the perceived impact of menstrual and premenstrual symptoms on academic, physical, and military activities; and evaluate the difficulties inherent to menstruation in a military setting., Design, Setting, and Participants: A survey about high school menstrual and premenstrual function, and the Premenstrual Assessment Form (PAF), were completed by all 158 freshman female Cadets in July 1991. In May 1992, 83 participants completed a survey assessing menstrual and premenstrual symptoms, including interference with activities during the year., Main Outcome Measures: Menstrual regularity, premenstrual symptoms, interference with activities., Results: Participants reported menstrual patterns and premenstrual symptoms in high school similar to other females their age. Most (62%) predicted a change in menstruation at the USMA, half were worried that physical symptoms would interfere with activities, one-fourth were worried that premenstrual symptoms would interfere with activities, and one-fourth were worried that obtaining and changing menstrual materials would interfere with activities. Almost all respondents (91%) reported changes in menstruation during the year, most commonly less regular, less frequent, shorter, lighter, and less crampy periods. Menstrual and premenstrual symptoms interfered with physical activities (66.2%, 61.4% respectively) more so than academic (50.6%, 45.7% respectively) or military activities (39.8%, 47.0% respectively). Female Cadets described significant difficulties with changing (62.6%), obtaining (51.8%), and disposing of (38.5%) menstrual materials., Conclusions: The data demonstrate major changes in menstrual function in over 90% of female Cadets; a significant perceived impact of menstrual and premenstrual symptoms on academic, physical, and military activities; and difficulties in obtaining, changing, and disposing of menstrual materials in a military setting. These findings have implications for females in the military, as well as for young women generally.

- Abstract
Four groups of residency programs (4433 residents) were compared regarding performance on the In-Training Exam of the American Board of Pediatrics and a 30-item addendum assessing behavioral knowledge: 10 programs funded to provide mandatory training, 6 not funded but requiring training, 4 control programs not requiring training but participating in an evaluation of behavioral training, and all other programs (221) whose residents took the exam. Three measures were calculated for each resident: percent correct on "organic" items; percent correct on "behavioral" items; and a ratio (behavioral to organic). Moderate positive correlations were found between organic and behavioral scores. There were no significant differences in organic performance related to program type. Ratio scores were higher for PL-1-funded residents than for any other PL-1 group. For PL-2s, Funded, Not Funded, and Control residents performed better than the All Other group. By the 3rd year, Funded residents performed better than All Other residents; Not Funded and Control scores fell in between. These data suggest that: (1) behavioral knowledge is only moderately related to organic knowledge; (2) requiring behavioral training increases behavioral knowledge but does not decrease the level of organic knowledge; and (3) funded programs attract residents more knowledgeable about behavior who, during their training, remain more knowledgeable than residents in programs not participating in an evaluation of behavioral training.

- Abstract
Conflicting opinions and inadequate data have led to confusion regarding the relationship of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and infantile apnea. Consensus regarding appropriate evaluation and management strategies for infants presumed at risk has not been reached. This study surveyed pediatric opinion regarding these issues. Questionnaires were mailed to 1000 randomly selected members of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and to faculty at all approved U.S. pediatric residency programs. Results indicated that respondents as a group were uncertain about the relationship between SIDS and apnea. Most respondents would (1) initially evaluate infants presenting with apnea at either a hospital or an apnea evaluation center, (2) refer subsequent siblings of SIDS infants to an apnea center, and (3) recommend no intervention, but provide reassurance, to anxious parents requesting a "test for SIDS" for a normal newborn. Respondents' comments showed diverse opinions regarding appropriate evaluation and management strategies for these three types of infants, and reflected concern regarding dilemmas posed to clinicians responsible for their care. Further research and continuing medical education efforts are needed to reduce current confusion.

- Abstract
This survey assessed the prevalence of behavioral pediatric residency training in the U.S., the professional background of faculty, training methods utilized, curriculum content, and barriers to expansion of behavioral training. Questionnaires were returned by 60% of 246 accredited pediatric residency programs; of these, 49% had a "formal" behavioral training program, 38% offered some training, and 13% offered none. Formal programs identified 419 faculty members involved in teaching behavioral pediatrics to residents: physicians (48%), psychologists (21%), social workers (19%), nurses (8%), other (4%). Mandatory training was more frequent than elective training; continuous training was more likely than block rotations to be mandatory. "Inadequate funding" and "lack of appropriately trained faculty" were most frequently cited as barriers to expansion of the teaching of behavioral pediatrics.
