Childbirth preparation classes, such as those based on the Lamaze and Bradley approaches, and childbirths outside of the traditional hospital setting have increased in popularity in this country over the past several years. Although there has been considerable theorizing in both the lay and professional press as to why this is so, actual research into how and why a couple decides to attend childbirth classes or to have their baby at home has been limited. The following review critically summarizes the research that has been done, notes the implications, and suggests what else is needed.

Anorexia nervosa is a psychosomatic disorder in which the patient— usually a young middle class female—relentlessly pursues her “ideal”; body image. Body image is the mental picture we have of ourselves, and the anorexic has a distorted perception of that image—the thinner she becomes, the fatter she perceives herself to be. A profile of anorexic patients and their families, the relationship between anorexia and body image, and ways of managing the anorexic patient are explored.

The self care/health maintenance/contraceptive information needs and knowledge of women utilizing the women's health clinic at a large New England university were investigated. The investigation was designed to elicit information about the level of knowledge, expressed learning needs, contraceptive use, satisfaction, and self health care needs of the clients. A questionnaire was devised to elicit data about self health care information needs and contraceptive use, information, and needs of the population of women who seek health care or attend educational sessions offered by women's health clinics. The information (knowledge) portion of the questionnaire was readministered after the educational sessions as a posttest at the time women came for their clinic appointments. Women utilizing the services of the women's clinic were, for the most part, resident students. More women making a 1st visit to the clinic were 20 years old or younger; women returning for care were more likely to be 20 or older. Use of a contraceptive method at the time of completing a questionnaire was indicated by 82.6% of respondents. Of the new clients using contraception, most were using oral contraceptives (OCs), condoms, or withdrawal. Of the returning clients, 93% were using OCs, diaphragm, condoms, or cream/jelly. The majority of new clients expressed dissatisfaction with their present method; the majority of returning clients were satisfied. The outstanding reasons for both groups were fear of pregnancy and inconvenience. Repeat clients also indicated worry about side effects. Nearly 62% of the respondents reported that they had used another method. Most common reasons for a change to present method included fear of pregnancy, fear of dangers, and side effects. Of the clients who indicated they had a problem with a method, side effects, pregnancy, and pain or discomfort were prevalent. Although women who had become pregnant in the past were, for the most part, using a contraceptive method at the time of conception, the majority were using the least effective methods, such as rhythm and withdrawal. Sources of information on contraception included pamphlets and books, classes, friends, clinics, and to a lesser degree, health care providers (except for old clients) and parents. The women in the study indicated a need for information. The women were fairly knowledgeable, at least about contraceptive methods, according to the results of the pretests and posttests, but knowledge is insufficient if they fail to operationalize or internalize it. It seems appropriate to shift the class focus to correct use of the method chosen to render it as effective as possible.

American women will face opportunities, challenges, and sizeable hurdles throughout the decade of the 1980s. Political, economic, and international forces will weigh heavily on women in the United States as they attempt to conquer key positions. Women are capable of shaping and transforming society and of helping people live together in relative peace and harmony. But a positive attitude with goal‐directed behavior is essential. Human relatedness, cultural values, and ethical concerns for all cultures in our world must be given thoughtful consideration. Also, women must help men to deal with women's changing role. This overview deals with some of the problems women will face and key areas for accomplishing future goals.
