The Resilience Of The Child As A Factor In Successful Adjustment To Permanent Placement, Lani Maureen Mcdonald
Dissertations and Theses
This study explores the hypothesis that constitutional factors were significant in mediating their successful adjustment.

Contraceptives are not being used as widely and effectively as they could be.
The primary goal of this research is to explore the male's role (or lack of it) in family planning. A further goal is …
