الوصف: Background . Yukon, a territory in northern Canada, has one of the highest reported sexually transmitted chlamydia infection rates in the country. Objective . We examined screening practices among physicians and community nurses to elucidate factors that may be contributing to the high rates. Design . Cross-sectional survey. Methods . A questionnaire was distributed to all physicians in Yukon and all community nurses in Yukon's communities. We surveyed sexual health assessment frequency, chlamydia testing frequency and barriers to screening. Comparison of physician testing practices was performed to another Canadian jurisdiction, which previously undertook a similar survey. Survey results were compared to the available laboratory data in Yukon. Results . Eligible physicians and nurses, 79% and 77%, respectively, participated in the survey. Physicians tested 15 to 24-year-old females more frequently than 15 to 24-year-old males for chlamydia (p=0.007). Physicians who asked sexual health assessment questions were more likely to test for chlamydia in both females (p

الوصف: BACKGROUND: To address the increasing age of pertussis cases, Yukon replaced the Grade 9 tetanus/diphtheria/inactivated polio booster with diphtheria/tetanus/acellular pertussis (dTap) and implemented a dTap catch-up program for Grade 12 students. The program began in June 2004, making Yukon one of the first Canadian jurisdictions to introduce dTap within five years of a tetanus booster. We implemented enhanced surveillance to monitor adverse events following immunization (AEFI) to determine whether students receiving dTap =3 to

الوصف: Three experiments compared the effects of visual and tactual stimulus presentation in two-choice sequential learning situations requiring a predictive response. In Experiments 1 and 2, subjects received a five- or six-unit repeating pattern; in Experiment 3, they received a semirandom sequence. Tactual as compared to visual stimulus presentation resulted in less trials to criterion in predicting a repearing pattern and in earlier frequency matching in predicting a semirandom sequence. These results suggest an unusual tactual adeptness in binary serial learning. Additionally, a new method of analyzing conditional responding in th brobability learning paradigm is described and applied to the data in Experiment 3.
