IPV & Pregnancy
February 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment
I had an email from a reader asking for some information for clinicians on IPV and pregnancy. She specifically wanted something she could use as an inservice for staff. Happily, I can deliver on this one pretty easily, because the CDC and ACOG have done the heavy lifting.

Violence & Exploitation Against Women & Girls
December 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment
I love when I run into interesting information from previously unexplored sources. The New York Academy of Sciences has archived materials from a conference put on in November 2005, Violence and Exploitation of Women and Girls. This is a particularly interesting one because the site provides media, as well as related resources and a report [...]

Integrating Injury & Violence Prevention
November 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment
STIPDA, ASTHO, and NACCHO have several archived injury prevention webcasts, 2 of which might appeal: Integrating Injury and Violence Prevention with Maternal and Child Health Programs, and Integrating Injury and Violence Prevention with Healthy Again Initiatives. They are free to access–the archive site also includes a variety of supporting articles and other materials for the [...]

Weekly Wrap-Up @ the Sustainability Blog
September 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Much of the content on the sustainability site this week was pretty self-centered, I must say. But hopefully it’s useful, so, if you’ll indulge me: The slides from the session I did at NSAC on sustainability are posted here under Conference Handouts (click here to go to them directly). They’ll be available for 30 days [...]

Drug Endangered Children
September 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment
I received a request from a reader looking for information about the medical care of children pulled out of meth labs (also known as drug endangered children). I know several of you out there are doing this kind of work, so please chime in with recommended resources you like and use.

Generic Plan B
August 27, 2009 | 2 Comments
Monday, pharmaceutical companies can start marketing a generic version of Plan B. I hope this will increase access to emergency contraception (EC), but I am skeptical. Part of the problem is a fundamental misunderstanding of how Plan B works (or doesn’t work, for that matter). Part of the problem is the regulatory issues which won’t [...]

Trafficking in Persons
August 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment
I don’t know how many of you read the Sunday NY Times, but this past weekend the Magazine ran a special series: Saving the World’s Women. There were a few articles that were particularly interesting, including The Women’s Crusade and an interview with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Not surprisingly, trafficking and gender-based violence were [...]

Treating Women with Physical Disabilities
August 20, 2009 | 3 Comments
CROWD has a really terrific powerpoint on gynecological consideration in treating women with physical disabilities. I post it here because it’s a great overview of some of the exam techniques that can be useful (a consideration for those of us completing SAFE exams); challenges in identifying STIs and other GYN issues in this population; and [...]

Updated Webinars
August 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Well, I finally did something I should have done long ago: went through all of the posted webinars and provided archive info for them where available. This means that any live event I have posted should have a link to the PDF presentation, audio, video and/or supplemental materials except: If the event hasn’t actually occurred [...]

The good folks over at the Center of Excellence in Elder Abuse and Neglect have posted the presentations from this year’s ASA‐NCOA Aging in America Conference 2009, Elder Abuse sessions (PDF) on their site. It’s an unbelievable resource, with 16 different sets of slides on a wide variety of elder abuse issues, several health care [...]
