After a decade, years of battling acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the spread of this disease still represents one of the most important issues facing health care officials today. Even though many individuals have changed their sexual behavior since becoming aware of AIDS, a group of high-risk young adults has not. The authors explore the relationship between personal value structures and low-risk vs. high-risk sexual behavior. The findings offer health care officials insight into effectively targeting AIDS prevention communications to the high-risk segment.

Survey results of a nationwide sample frame did not differ from those of a statewide sample frame with respect to questions that were professional/procedural in nature or that dealt with putative industry knowledge. However, on questions that were attitudinal in nature, the sample frames differed significantly. Because of this, the authors conclude that using a geographically narrow convenience sample may or may not result in frame error, depending on the information being sought.

Primary care physicians have several external sources of information available when referring a patient to a specialist. The most-used sources were a fellow physician, followed by the specialist, the patient or the patient's family, and to a lesser extent, hospital-controlled sources including referral directories, call services, and sales representatives. The authors tested a cost-benefit model where source usage was predicted to increase as the costs of using the source decreased and benefits increased.

Building relationships with patients is critical to the success of many health care organizations. The authors profile the relationship marketing program for a hospital's cardiac center and discuss the key strategic aspects that account for its success: a focus on a specific hospital service, an integrated marketing communication strategy, a specially designed database, and the continuous tracking of results.
