The Financial Impact Of Over-The-Counter Availability Of Oral Contraceptive Pills, Mingfang Zhu, Albert Wertheimer, Robert Field Dec 2001

The Financial Impact Of Over-The-Counter Availability Of Oral Contraceptive Pills, Mingfang Zhu, Albert Wertheimer, Robert Field

Robert I. Field

The oral contraceptive pill has been safely and effectively used for over 40 years. It seems reasonable to ask whether the pill should be made available over-the-counter (OTC) without a physician's prescription. If so, what will be the subsequent change in cost due to OTC pill availability? A cost-effectiveness model was adapted and modified to estimate the current contraceptive methods' cost and OTC pill availability cost. The possible changes from other contraceptive methods to the use of a potential OTC pill were assumed in this study. Using a predictive model, it was found that in the United States alone, nearly …

Recurring Nightmare: Barriers To Effective Treatment Of Hiv In The United States And Internationally, John G. Culhane Dec 2001

Recurring Nightmare: Barriers To Effective Treatment Of Hiv In The United States And Internationally, John G. Culhane

John G. Culhane

Developing nations face many of the same barriers to the effective prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS as the developed nations. The article examines successful and unsuccessful approaches to prevention in the United States, and compares these to the obstacles faced by those attempting to deal with the HIV/AIDS pandemic in other nations. It suggests ways of addressing deeply rooted obstacles such as the treatment of women and racial and sexual minorities. A complex web of approaches that draws on international, national, and local laws and government, as well as the participation of community groups, stands the only chance of substantially …
