From: Steve Nagy
Subject: health behavior
In response to the discussion going on re: behavior change, much of
the debate has focused on defining successful outcomes of smoking
prevention programs. I'd like to point out that there are several
points of view being expressed, each of which seems founded in
different theoretical frameworks. Some are expressing a perspective
that behavioral change is founded in psychological theory (i.e.
Bandura, Ellis, etc.) while others are defining behavioral change via
changes in social norms (i.e. changes in group behaviors over time - a
change in how individuals view the lifecycle and appropriate behaviors
therein). These can be differing points of view and most definitely
point to a major weakness in the health education/promotion field,
which is the lack of consensus regarding appropriate theoretical
approaches and measures. I'm sure there are others out there who
would point out that there are broader frameworks (i.e. social ecology
framework - McElroy and company) that have gone virtually untested -
so its difficult to say that things don't work.
Add to this need for theoretical clarity the need for better
evaluation (i.e. measurement of: the clustering effect of negative
health behaviors - the cognitive/developmental level of the respondent
to questionnaires and its impact on the theoretical framework driving
the evaluation) and we find ourselves often comparing apples and
oranges. Pardon me for rambling, but let's also discuss issues
regarding behavior that address their true complexity. I think that
its inappropriate to view negative health behaviors individually since
they are frequently intertwined. It does not seem likely that school
based interventions attempting to address a singular behavior can have
much success over a lifetime.
I'd like to shift some of this debate to address issues related to
multiple health behaviors and center on the "sacred cow" -
comprehensive school health education. As health educators, many of
us have a passionate and idealogical framework that endorses
comprehensive health education as necessary to promote positive health
behaviors. However, when one goes beyond this idealogical
perspective, there is very little support that the existing programs
are implemented according to design and produce the effects of the few
programs that have been researched (by the way, which behaviors have
been researched?). What can the practitioners draw from the research
to assist them in their program implementation?
On the most part, health education programs in schools are now a
cafeteria of interventions that are very unique and blend many
different programs together. How can programs attempting to train
future professionals in school-based health education train future
intervention specialists when there seems to be very little
consistency anywhere - neither theory nor application seems to have
consistency?
Isn't it time to have a gathering of professionals to discuss
appropriate theoretical frameworks for developing school-based
prevention initiatives and the diffusion of these interventions.
Furthermore, shouldn't we have some debate about appropriate measures
at consistent times through the life cycle?
In addition, shouldn't our professional organizations move into the
research and theoretical arena instead of focusing largely on policy
issues? Where are our professional organizations on moving debate
about theory, singular vs multiple risk approaches, evaluation issues
etc? We only see these issues irregularly on professional programs.
As a discipline we fall further and further behind when these issues
go unaddressed in a structured manner.

From: "David C. Wiley 245-2946"
Subject: Medical Institute for Sexual Health (MISH)
Dear Colleagues,
I was wondering how many of you have come across a group called the Medical
Institute for Sexual Health (MISH)? MISH was founded by an ultra-conservative
physician, Dr. Joe McIlhaney, in Austin, Texas and they are now actively
involved in promoting their abstinence-only sexuality curriculum "National
Guidelines for Sexuality and Character Education". Dr. McIlhaney is closely tied
to the group "Focus on the Family" (FOF) founded by James Dobson. FOF and
other
ultra-conservative groups have been extremely active in promoting
abstinence-only programs, while attacking abstinence-based programs.
MISH is the newest of these groups and they are very active in Texas and have
made some significant strides in getting their curriculum to at least be
considered for adoption in several other states. Has this happened in your area?
I am currently involved in reviewing MISH's curriculum and will be able to
provide a written evaluation of it within a few weeks. Please let me know if you
would be interested in receiving a copy of the review. I will post another
message on HEDIR when the review is ready.
thanks,
David Wiley

From: Andrea Frank
Subject: Re: health behavior change research
Story #1: An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are shown a pasture
with a herd of sheep, and told to put them inside the smallest possible
amount of fence. The engineer is first. He herds the sheep into a circle and
then puts the fence around them, declaring, "A circle will use the least
fence for a given area, so this is the best solution." The physicist is next.
She creates a circular fence of infinite radius around the sheep, and then
draws the fence tight around the herd, declaring, "This will give the
smallest circular fence around the herd." The mathematician is last. After
giving the problem a little thought, he puts a small fence around himself and
then declares, "I define myself to be on the outside!"
Story #2: An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist went to the races one
Saturday and laid their money down. In the bar after the race, the engineer
says, "I don't understand why I lost all my money. I measured all the horses
and calculated their strength and mechanical advantage and figured out how
fast they could run..." The physicist interrupted him: "...but you didn't
take individual variations into account. I did a statistical analysis of
their previous performances and bet on the horses with the highest
probability of winning..." "...So if you're so hot why are you broke?" asked
the engineer. But before the argument could go any further, the
mathematician cleared her throat and pulled a cigarette out of her purse. As
she did so, the others got a glimpse of her well-fattened wallet. Obviously
here was a woman who knew something about horses. They both demanded to
know
her secret. "Well," she said, pausing to blow a smoke ring into the air,
"first I assumed all the horses were identical and spherical..."
>From my P.O.V. these stories demonstrate the way scientists from "competing"
disciplines approach the same problem from different angles and use different
sets of disciplinary assumptions to achieve different degrees or varieties of
"success." In fact, every professional discipline views the world through a
different set of "glasses." The particular lenses we peer through establish
the boundaries by which problems are defined and solutions are framed. The
danger is that ANY professional discipline can develop tunnel vision. In
fact, the education and socialization of "professionals" (particularly those
at the apex who hold masters and doctoral degrees) encourages just that. And
we, as health educators - despite the interdisciplinary nature of our
profession - are just as prone to developing "tunnel vision" as the engineer,
physicist, mathematician, or research scientist.
Before any firm conclusions are reached about the potential efficacy of
tobacco prevention programs for school age children, I encourage all of us to
step outside our discipline and broaden our disciplinary repertoires a bit,
e.g.:
1) The discipline of history: Competent historians avoid putting a
contemporary spin on past events. Word meanings and contexts are time fixed
and place and circumstance specific. We live in a dynamic world; even
quantitative research methods classes teach that all research data are
virtual reality snapshots in time. If we apply this concept to school age
tobacco prevention programs, we must ask ourselves whether it is appropriate
to generalize research findings from 3, 5 or 10 years ago to kids today. Is
it valid to assume that the historical context for a tobacco prevention
program in 1986 or 1991 is still relevant to 1996 and beyond? What do
comparative historical research methods tell us about the validity of such
generalizations?
2) The discipline of philosophy:
a) What is the nature of human nature? What makes kids tick? Are children
more alike than they are different? Is it valid to generalize past research
findings about groups of children to the individual child? Does it matter
that the target tobacco prevention audience includes boys and girls; Asian
Americans, Hispanics, Caucasions, African Americans, Native Americans, and
Hmong; rich, middle class and poor; rural, suburban, and city kids, 6 year
olds, 10 year olds, and 15 year olds; learning disabled and genius; gang
member, cheerleader, or nerd, etc. etc. etc. If we say tobacco prevention
programs for school age children work or don't work, are we claiming these
programs inherently work or don't work just for certain kids or all of these
kids?
b) Ethics: Public health is built upon the ethical principle of
utilitarianism. Utilitarianism assumes that the most desireable approach is
the one which will do the most good for the greatest number of people (i.e.
the majority). To what extent does this assumption guide and limit research
design and research conclusions about the efficacy of tobacco prevention
programs?
c) Epistemology and the nature of reality: What does it mean to know? Are
some methods of generating knowledge more valid or reliable than others and
under what circumstances? Quantitative research of public health educational
campaigns assumes that "real life" human parameters can be experimentally or
quasi-experimentally manipulated, and that results can be replicated and
applied to similar experimental populations. How valid are these
assumptions relative to school age children and tobacco? Do "real life"
experiments exist? Is it ever possible to replicate experimental results
with "real life" kids?
In depth discussion of these issues is omitted from most - if not all -
public health professional preparation programs and most - if not all -
published public health research. Yet, these are profound questions and
issues which can and should guide our professional research and practice.
They are not mere academic mental masturbation, liberal arts exercises or
grist for the mill about the "touchy-feely" nature of health education.
One last variation on the theme about the tension between scientists,
engineers and mathematicians:
-Scientists think that the real world approximates equations.
-Behavioral engineers think that equations approximate the real world.
-Statisticians are unable to make the connection.
...So what connection, if any, do we and should we as health educators make?

Checklist For Participating in Mailing Lists
Version 1.0
by Ira M. Pasternack (ira@clearlyinternet.com)
The following checklist consists of 11 questions which you can use to help
yourself make positive contributions to the community which makes up an
e-mail mailing list (list server) you belong to. A significant part of the
list will help you verify that messages you send to the mailing list are
appropriate. The list was written because some messages posted to many
lists are off-topic, unnecessarily long, or simply written in a fashion that
the point is not effectively expressed. Also, some of the items on the
checklist are designed to encourage civil discourse, as opposed to personal
attacks (flames) which occur from time to time on many lists.
If you already are an experience user of mailing lists and/or you already
understand the items on this checklist, you can just read over the checklist
from time to time, as a reminder. If you are new to mailing lists, or if
the ideas on this checklist are new to you, you should review the checklist
before you send any message to the list, until you are comfortable with the
ideas.
This checklist is a generic list, which could be used by participants on any
mailing list. Because every list has its own policies and standards, this
checklist may need to be modified for use with some mailing lists. If you
would like to modify the list, please contact Ira Pasternack at
.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions to ask oneself before posting a message to a mailing list:
1. Is the message being sent TO the appropriate destination (the whole list
vs. one or more selected individual(s))?
2. Is the subject line descriptive of my message?
3. Have I included only enough of any past message that my message refers
to so that other list members know what I am referring to?
4. Is my message as brief as possible, and have I referred interested
parties to a web site or other method of getting additional information (or
offered to send more information via e-mail for those who want it)?
5. Have I attempted to express appreciation to list members who have made a
useful contribution to the list?
6. If I have disagreed with someone else's ideas, have I attempted to avoid
a personal attack against them?
7. Have I attempted to ignore or defuse anything which I consider a
personal attack against me?
8. Does my message say something more than "me too" - does it say *why* I
agree, give another example of the point being made, or in some way add to
the message?
9. Have I offered to summarize the replies to any question I asked?
10. Have I signed the message, and included my e-mail address in the body?
11. Did I proofread the message?

From: Margo Harris
Subject: Satellite Videoconference Discussion
Okay, I'm looking for some thoughtful discussion and help on the topic of
video conferences (VC). The National SOPHE office has begun to co-sponsor
various VC opportunities, and my chapter members love them. They are
timely, sometimes offered in a variety of locations easy to access, and
they offer CHES credits for those in need. My SOPHE Chapter is a five
state area, and we are currently in our annual membership drive! Don't
hesitate to join!
Our state departments of health sometimes sponsor this VCs and set up
downlink sites. Sometimes the SOPHE Chapter is asked to identify a site.
Each mailing I receive says, "Most schools, hospitals, community colleges,
universities, and county extension offices have the required equipment." I
have found that sometimes that is true, but often it is not. Also, while
they have the equipment, there is a fee.
Here are some of my questions?
1. Are any of you HEDIRs working with video conferences?
2. Do you partner with organizations like SOPHE?
3. How do you meet the costs involved in the conference? My members are
willing to pay for CHES credits, but leery of additional charges. I think
VC is still somewhat new technology for them and they wonder or are still
suspicious of the quality of the program.
4. If the chapter gets involved in this, how do we recover our costs?
Educational programs are a major revenue source for our chapter. I see VC
filling a strong need for programs, especially programs available in a wide
geographical area. If they replace current program efforts, the chapter
will sacrifice a major income source.
If you have any thoughts or experience to share, I would appreciate it.
Responses to the list (if this seems like a subject with interest to many)
or me personally if you prefer would be great. Thanks.
For the record, a three part VC is soon to arrive in your neighborhood,
"Managed Care Seminar Series: Fundamentals of Managed Care for Public
Health Professionals," October 10, 17, and 24, 1996--1:00 - 3:00 PM EDT.
If you want a one page info sheet via FAX, sent me your FAX number and I
will be glad to forward. If you are in WA state, a VC on Domestic Violence
is scheduled for October, and I can share that as well. Margo

Dear HEDIRs, A brief memo to update you on the upcoming changes that will
take place.
First, the student HEDIR is now operational. You can have your students
subscribe by sending a memo to listserv@siu.edu, skip subject line, and in
the body of the text type: subscribe hedirs-l Your Name
To send memos to the student hedir, its address is: hedirs-l@siu.edu
Now, regarding the professional HEDIR. It will be undergoing the change
that the student HEDIR recently did. Within the next week, all of your
names will be added to the unix listserv that we've incorporated. At that
time, I will send a new HEDIR message to both the old and the new HEDIR
address informing you of that change. For a short period of time (one or
two days), you may get double messages. Let me apologize at this time for
that inconvenience. However, after two days of the switchover, the old
hedir address (HEDIR@SIUCVMB.SIU.EDU) will be removed. So, when the
switchover takes place, any messages sent via hedir@siucvmb.siu.edu will be
returned to you.
Once the switchover takes place, all new HEDIR messages must be sent via the
following address: HEDIR-L@SIU.EDU
I believe the computer people are planning to make the conversion sometime
around the 15th.
August's messages are now available for viewing on my e-mail home page
(listed below).

Subject: A reminder
Just a reminder that the new listserv will go into effect this weekend.
Starting on Monday, (assuming there are no glitches within the computer
system), all HEDIR messages should now be sent to the following address:
hedir-l@siu.edu
For those of you that have nicknames in your mailing systems, make sure to
make the change. On Monday, I'll send a memo to both the new HEDIR and the
old HEDIR address. If you do not receive both, please send me a memo
individually (kittle@siu.edu), indicating which one you did not receive.
Thanks for your patience.

Folks on all of my listservs. You may be getting this memo twice (or more
if you are on more than one listserv). The changeover has apparently taken
place. Please note that all of the listservs have new addresses. The
prefix will remain the same, except they will all end with -l
The suffix will now be @siu.edu
For example, HEDIR@siucvmb.siu.edu is now
Bushea is now bushea-l@siu.edu
Joint is now joint-l@siu.edu
Please make all changes on any nicknames. More information about these
changes will take place on my e-mail directory home page. If you have
received this memo at from the old listservs (suffix of siucvmb.siu.edu or
siucvmb.bitnet), and not at the new (suffix of siu.edu), please send me a
personal note indicating so.
If you have any questions, problems, etc. please let me know.

Dear Carol and all interested HEDIR subscribers,
No, you haven't misplaced your SOPHE annual meeting mailing. They have

them trickling in to mailboxes rather slowly. If you do not receive it this
week and you want to register now, feel free to contact Elaine Auld at SOPHE
at 202-408-9404 and she will fax the registration materials to you. The
reduced rate preregistration deadline is October 17 (For national SOPHE
members, the preregistration fee is $150 for the two and a half day
conference which includes preconference workshops, Friday evening reception,
Saturday lunch, Saturday and Sunday breakfasts and coffee breaks.) We
appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing you in New York,
November 15-17 at the 1996 SOPHE Annual Meeting, "With Liberty and Justice

In response to Jan Ringer's (Univ. of Minn., Duluth Health Services) request
for information on measurement of outreach efforts, suggest measuring the
"institutionalization" of your outreach activities. Can you follow-up with
those community agencies you've reached/trained to determine whether and how
they have communicated your services and track referrals? Joint educational
programs with community agencies are also "outcome" measurements of the
linkages you create. There's an increasing literature base on this subject
with sample tools to measure such community linkages. Hope this helps.

Dear Colleagues, family members & friends,
I just received this from a friend. She called the phone number
and found out they are now only taking written requests (mail or fax) to
have your name removed. The fax number is 516/865-1930. Supposedly, you
only need to send them your name and social security number to be removed
from the database.scii"
I am shocked that such personal information is available. I called
the 800 number myself to check into this and I got a message indicating
that to remove my name, I need to contact them in writing -- fax or regular
mail. I plan to fax my request to remove my name from this list and
confirm the removal using regular mail. I suggest you consider doing so as
well.
Sincerely,

Subject: Internships
As a member of the Faculty Welfare committee of our faculty senate I have
been asked to gather information regarding the compensation practices for
internships. There is some thought among the faculty that since
internships are a required part of some curriculums, that there should be
some form of compensation for the supervision of these internships.
Questions for the HEDIR
- Is there compensation for internship supervision in your dept.,
college, or institution?
- Is there a policy in place at any of those levels?
- If there is compensation, do you have to reach a threshold (i.e. 10
interns) to receive compensation or is it done of a per intern basis?
- Is the intern supervision the responsibility of one person or is it
spread among the faculty members?
There are probably other questions that need to ask that I haven't
thought of. Please respond to any and all of the questions for which you
have informtion.
Thank you very much.

Subject: Re: Internships
In-Reply-To:
Essentially, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education treats
internships regardless of the number of credits as .33 credits per student
based on a 12 credit teaching load per semester for each faculty member. The
contract governing the faculty of the 14 universities has greater
specificity related to more complex teaching loads involving graduate
classes, multiple preparations, student teachers, independent study,
research and so forth but the .33 credits is the basis for making up the
teaching load or for paying for "overload" if 24 credits in a year is
exceeded.

Morning Edition on National Public Radio did a spot on the
LEXIS-NEXIS P-Trax controversy this morning. LEXIS-NEXIS contended that
the furor over this issue was "much ado about nothing." They said that
while they did receive most of their data from credit services, they do not
have "mother's maiden name" in their data banks. They do, however, have
quite a bit of information, including unpublished phone numbers and social
security numbers. Several consumer groups disagreed with LEXIS-NEXIS'
characterization of this service as harmless.
According to LEXIS-NEXIS, although they have been innundated with
requests to be removed from the data bank, they do not plan to cancel the
service.

Subject: Re: personal information - WAIT!
The information that Molly posted earlier about P-TRAK service from Lexis is
certainly disturbing. I just checked their web site to see if they had any
information for consumers. Here's what I found:
I lifted the following text directly from their page (with due apologies to
copyright attornies all over the world):
Begin quote:
"Incorrect information is being distributed on Internet newsgroups regarding
the data displayed in LEXIS-NEXIS' P-TRAK file. P-TRAK is like an electronic
"white pages." The only information displayed is the name of the individual,
current address and up to two previous addresses and telephone number. In
some cases, the individual's maiden name may appear and as well as the month
and year of birth. That is the ONLY information displayed in the P-TRAK file.
Contrary to some messages that have been posted to some Internet discussion
and news groups, the P-TRAK file DOES NOT contain any credit histories, bank
account information, personal financial data, mother's maiden name or
medical histories. This misinformation has been posted over and over again
to various news groups.
An example of a record appears below:
Name: DOE, JOHN E
Current Address: 1066 Anywhere Drive, Dayton, OH 95454
Previous Address: 106 Somewhere Drive, Dayton, OH 92454
Birth
Date: 9/1965
Telephone Number: 555-1212
On File Since: 6/1/1994"
End quote.
I'm not sure how comforting it is that they provide that much information,
but at least that seems to be the scoop. Many of us interested in privacy
may be distressed that even that much is present.
Here's another quote from their page:
"Individuals interested in having their names removed from the P-TRAK file
can e-mail their full name and complete address to:
p-trak@prod.lexis-nexis.com or mail this information to ATTN: P-TRAK, P. O.
Box 933, Dayton, OH 45401. "
Their web site is http://www.netlds.com/ptrak.html
Please don't attribute the quoted material to me or argue with me about the
content of the quotes. I'm just posting it for you. Do with it what you
will. Many thanks to Molly, however, for bringing it to our attention.

Mark,
I have been fighting this battle for quite some time. I would love to get a
copy of your findings--please forward whatever you can.
I coordinate and supervise the internships for community health education
majors and minors at Western Michigan University. Majors complete 150 to 600
internships (2-8 credits toward the major) and minors complete 75 hours (i
credit toward the minor). Majors usually opt for 3 month, 40 hour per week
stints, regardless of the number of hours they register for. Most of our
interns are in the spring/summer, which causes a problem for compensation as
spring/summer is "extra monies" and usually tough to come by. We are on a
semester system. In the fall, I have 4-6 interns (half are majors, half are
minors). Winter, I have 6-10 (again half and half). Spring/summer I have
25-30 (half and half). Int he fall, I receive 0-2 release hours for
internships, in the winter, 0-2, and in the spring 1-2. Our chair does not see
the value of assigning appropriate hours for spring/summer intern supervision.
She wants to bank hours in the fall winter and have me work for free/minimal
pay in the spring, which, of course, I am oppossed to. We have not guides or
policies set in place.

Privacy storm shows the best and worst of the 'Net
The flap over a new service from Lexis-Nexis is probably
misguided, but raises interesting questions about privacy and
the power of online communication
by Michael Brush
An online brouhaha that broke out this week over alleged
privacy breaches caused by a new Lexis-Nexis product has put
both the best and worst of the 'Net community in high
profile.
The Dayton, Ohio-based online database company has been
swamped with phone calls and faxes this week because of a
flurry of e-mails and news-group postings warning readers of
the allegedly dire consequences of its new product called P-
TRAK. Many of the warnings falsely claim that P-TRAK provides
a wide range of potentially sensitive personal information
ranging from social security numbers to medical and credit
histories.
On the bright side, the controversy shows the huge power of
the 'Net when used by public-spirited advocates to mobilize a
response to a perceived danger -- in this case, a threat to
privacy. On the dark side, the fact that many of the
allegations in the electronic correspondence are plain wrong
shows how easy it is to spread misinformation and,
potentially, raise what could amount to an online lynch mob.
At issue is a product launched last June which provides
Nexis-Lexis clients with basic public information about
anyone in a 300 million-name database. The information
available is culled from credit bureau records. It is limited
to your name, your maiden name or alias (if any), your
current and two most recent past addresses, the month and
year of your birth, and your phone number -- though not all
of that information is available on every person.
For nine days after the product was released last June 2, P-
TRAK also included your social security number. But the SSNs
were pulled on June 11 because of complaints, says Lexis-
Nexis spokesman Steve Edwards. If you already know
someone's social security number, though, you can search for
him or her using that number.
P-TRAK is meant to help attorneys track down witnesses, heirs
or parents who have stopped paying child support, says
Edwards.
While the scope of P-TRAK is relatively limited compared to,
say, credit reports, which carry news of your payment
history, bankruptcies and other such sensitive material, it
nonetheless sparked the ire of many 'Net users.
For example, one posting that was later widely circulated
this week claimed that your social security number, "mother's
maiden name, birth date and other personal information are
now available to anyone with a credit card." It postulated
that the information could allow someone to commit credit
card fraud or use your identity.
The truth is somewhat tamer. The SSN and mother's maiden name
are not included, for example, and the database is available
only to clients like law firms and news organizations that
can afford Lexis-Nexis's relatively hefty fees.
Furthermore, Money Daily's spot check shows that the
information available is spotty at best. A search of P-TRAK
run on our behalf by the Time Inc. Research Center turned up
the right addresses but no phone or birth date for this
author. It got the addresses and birth year correct for Money
Daily editor Kevin McKean, but had an obsolete phone number.
And when confronted with relatively more common names of two
other Money Online staffers -- tech director Wilson Smith and
reporter Joseph "Tripp" Reynolds -- turned up dozens of
people, none of whom proved to be the correct ones.
Those limitations notwithstanding, the roar on the 'Net was
heard at Lexis-Nexis headquarters. "We have been deluged with
people calling, writing and faxing," says Edwards. "People
are asking us: 'Why are you putting my medical records, my
mother's maiden name, and my credit card history out there?'
This has been testing the limits of our customer service."
In response, Lexis-Nexis posted a statement on its home
page to correct false information about the product and
also a form you can use to remove your name from the list,
something the company says people could have done all along
by calling. By next Monday, Edwards says the firm will also
have an 800 number that callers can use. People who phone the
company's current 800 number are told to fax name-removal
requests to 513-865-1930.
The company has stopped short of posting responses in news
groups or bulletin boards, though. "There are different
schools of thought on that," says Edwards. "One says that you
should never respond to news groups from a company standpoint
because that increases the amount of flaming. But at this
point, I don't know how much worse it could get."
In the company's place, other news group participants have
stepped in to set the record straight. "I think you owe a
post to correct this error," one such correspondent scolded
in a reply that pointed out several errors in the message
quoted above.
Ironically, the information available in P-TRAK is mild
compared to what is available elsewhere in the vast Lexis-
Nexis database.
A related product, called P-FIND, for example, offers
additional household information like the appraised value of
a home in many states and the number of dependents (both of
which are public information). The main Nexis database digs
up information from news stories -- often from local papers
-- published around the world and in several different
languages. Many of those stories, of course, contain
information of arrests and charges that may later prove
groundless, as well as a volume of personal information about
the people cited in the articles. And the legal Lexis service
contains not only details from civil and criminal court cases
around the nation, but also other potentially sensitive
information, such as tax liens and judgments against
individuals.
Before you get your hackles up over invasion of privacy,
though, consider that all of the above is public information
-- and, of course, much of it is potentially more sensitive
than your previous address.

Dear Colleagues, family members & friends,
I just received this from a friend. She called the phone number
and found out they are now only taking written requests (mail or fax) to
have your name removed. The fax number is 516/865-1930. Supposedly, you
only need to send them your name and social security number to be removed
from the database.scii"
I am shocked that such personal information is available. I called
the 800 number myself to check into this and I got a message indicating
that to remove my name, I need to contact them in writing -- fax or regular
mail. I plan to fax my request to remove my name from this list and
confirm the removal using regular mail. I suggest you consider doing so as
well.
Sincerely,
Molly Laflin

Subject: Update on new listserv
Three points that I want to share with you. The new listserv software that
SIU has just installed was able to detect and stop it's first spam to the
HEDIR. Evidentally, it can detect a memo sent to a large number of people
and it will defer it to the owner (me). If it was legitimate, then I could
forward it onto the list. Hopefully this software will be able to continue
picking up such spams. For those of you who were interested, it was a spam
advertising a guy who is willing to interpret your dream. (If you're still
interested, see me).
Second, the student hedir (hedirs-l@siu.edu) is up and running with some
interesting conversations. As professionals you are invited to sign up to
"lurk". Since I have asked the undergraduates to just observe on the
professional HEDIR and not be involved with the discussion, I am asking that
the same of the professionals on the student HEDIR. Feel free to observe
but try to restrain from your conversations.
Third...occasionally I still receive e-mail requests via my old e-mail
(ga3748@siucvmb.siu.edu). That address will no longer be functional in a
few weeks, so if by chance you have that e-mail for me, please change it to
kittle@siu.edu
Thanks for your patience in this change of listservs.

Sent to entire list in case others were interested in liabiltiy and
internships. Delete now if not interested.
Some of our interns sites, like hospitals, won't take students without
liability insurance. We investigated and found that student teachers
are required to purchase student memberships in professional
organizations like MEA so that they will have liability insurance.
The community health interns are covered by the same university
liability insurance that covers student nurses and medical students.
We have a letter from the university attorney explaining this and
share it with the intern site supervisors as requested.

Subject: It's SOPHE Time
Comments: cc: Elaine Auld
In the great, sunny, warm, Indian-summer like Northwest, it is definitely
SOPHE time. October 1 marks the beginning of our new program year, which
means it is time to invite all our members and nonmembers to take the
plunge and join PNW SOPHE! It's an especially poignant time for me, as it
is also marking the end of my days as PNW SOPHE Co-President (Dear Lord,
please let this month end!) We always comment that chapter presidents fade
away. Well, only the good are allowed to fade, I'm being re-engineered in
to the co-chair of membership. So JOIN!
Why should you join one of the 17 SOPHE Chapters, not to mention National
SOPHE? I can always think of many reasons, but here are just a few:
* Later today I'm driving south to join 30 SOPHE colleagues in a lunch and
informal discussion with Carol Bryant, Assistant Professor from the
University of South Florida and editor of Social Marketing Quarterly for a
hot discussion on social marketing. We will do the same with Meredith
Minkler in November, and offer other fine CE programs--some even offering
CHES credits-- for SOPHE members.
* Our members receive the benefit of a very active Job Bank, a quality
newsletter, and a roster that is a Who's Who in Health Education in our
five state area--Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington (that was
alphabetical, no bias here), not to mention a few brave souls from British
Columbia
* The arrival of email, now utilized by over 60% of our membership, led to
the creation of a SOPHE Email Distribution List. Up to the moment news, CE
offerings, videoconference information, etc. are quickly sent to members.
The professional exchange now burning up the email paths is great to see
and a terrific link for a geographically diverse chapter!
* A new, growing link to a staffed National SOPHE office is an added
benefit. Okay, if I see one more thing on strategic planning I will
scream, but I know I'm connected to an organization that is building a
vision for the end of this decade/century and moving eagerly toward the
next! Not only that, but National SOPHE is offering a terrific, bargain,
discount price for new members. JOIN NOW! The discount won't last
forever!

Folks, please excuse any crossovers. Thanks to Bob Gold, we now have a
chatroom capability available for HEDIR. A chatroom is where one can carry
on a conversation with other professionals. It is interactive, whereas the
HEDIR listserv primarily informs, the HEDIR Chat can allow for actual
conversations, debates, etc.
In order to use the HEDIR chat, you must first have the appropriate
software. Go to my home page or to the HEDIR home page, click on the icon
that says HEDIR chat. Follow those directions on how to download the
software.
The first HEDIR chat will take place on Wednesday, October 3rd at 11:00 a.m.
Illinois time (CST). Be among the first to participate in this historical
event.

Subject: General Education Health Requirement (fwd)
We are currently in the process of revising our general education
requirements as part of an evaluation/accreditation process. Actually
this process has been ongoing for four years!!!!!! The initial focus was
the writing of a mission statement and goals for the university. The
mission statement and the goals have been accepted and approved by
everyone and all the governing bodies.
Now to the "turf" battles!!!! Goal #10 Acquire an appreciation of the
benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Students should acquire an appreciation
of the benefits to
the whole person of maintaining a healthy lifestyle throughout their
lives. They should learn about the mental and physical processes which
contribute to a level of vitality necessary for the full enjoyment of
life's experiences.
We are now in process of adopting the new gen. ed format. A
Healthy Lifestyles( goal #10) component is part of 18 credits required of
all students. The term "healthy lifestyle" is under fire as a "Trendy" term
not appropriate for gen. ed. I think the issue is that other departments
who are uncertain of their courses counting in this category are trying
to get the title changed for "turf" reasons.
Our idea is to hold firm to the already passed goals and mission
statement. ...however, I would like some input from fellow professionals
as to possible alternate strategies or alternate terms for healthy
lifestyles ( wellness is also considered trendy by our liberal arts and
science faculty! )
Thanks for your help

Subject: chat correction
Please note the correction to the first HEDIR chat. The date was
inadvertently stated as Wednesday, October 3. The corrected time is
Wednesday, October 2, at 11:00 a.m. Illinois time.
There will be no theme, but rather an introduction to the use of the
chatroom. For those interested, I will show you how to take a group on a
guided tour via the internet.
The software for your operating system is now available on the HEDIR
chatroom page.

I need to correspond with any health or PE educator for my Teaching PE
and Health Class. I am interested in movement activities for K-3
elementary and special ed classes. Any or all information will be
appreciated. My question for PE educators is: How do you do inclusion
activities with students who attend life skill classes?
