The Internet in the Mideast and North Africa
http://www.hrw.org/advocacy/internet/mena/index.htm
Last week, Human Rights Watch (HRW) released a 92-page survey report on the status of the Internet in the Middle East and North Africa. The report reveals that Internet use in the region is steadily increasing despite factors inhibiting Internet growth such as censorship, access restrictions, and high connection costs. The report surveys the Internet information policies of the region's governments and examines how these policies promote or violate the right to freedom of expression. The HRW survey and critique is supplemented by a set of policy guidelines which are intended to protect the rights to privacy, association, and online expression. In addition, official governmental responses to the report are appended for the countries of Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Tunisia, and Yemen. This report was researched and written by Eric Goldstein, HRW's deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa division. [AO]

The ICPSR freely provides codebooks and documentation in compressed and uncompressed .pdf format for the data set. Data are supplied in compressed (.gz) and uncompressed formats along with SPSS and SAS data definition statements files. All files may be downloaded by authorized member institutions and official representatives of the ICPSR Data Archive. Downloading specifications and instructions are provided. [AO]
[Back to Contents]US Census Bureau: Special Study on Coresident Grandparents and Grandchildren, May 1999 [.pdf, 66K]
http://www.census.gov/prod/99pubs/p23-198.pdf
The recently published US Census report on "Coresident Grandparents and Grandchildren" analyzes data derived from the March Current Population Survey (CPS) and documents a 30-year rise in the numbers of grandchildren living with their Grandparents. The report examines the household structure of such coresidences (e.g., with or without parents present; with one grandparent vs. both) as well as the age, gender, region, and economic resources of adults in the household, correlating such data to the "economic well-being of coresident grandchildren." The report concludes that, "while most grandparents and their coresident grandchildren are not experiencing severe economic hardships, those in certain family structures are at an increased risk." In particular, the study found that "grandchildren in grandparent-maintained families are more likely to be poor than those in parent-maintained families. And grandmother-child-grandchild families are the most likely to be poor." The report considers the implications of its findings on such policy issues as welfare reform, child health insurance legislation, and education. [DC]

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has recently released two new statistical analysis reports. The first, Life After College, analyzes data from a 1997 follow-up to the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (1993) to profile "the enrollment and employment experiences of 1992-93 bachelor's degree recipients" in the US. The 131-page report includes a comprehensive essay on post-undergraduate educational experiences accompanied by a compendium of tables and figures highlighting the employment status and job characteristics of 1992-93 graduates. The second report, What Happens in Classrooms?, provides data on the pedagogical methodology of K-12 teachers in the US. The 220-page report focuses on four instructional practice areas: the role of the teacher in the classroom, the technologies and materials used for instruction, the learning tasks conducted by the students, and the student assessment methods employed by teachers. The report includes more than 50 data tables and 15 representing the findings of the statistical study. [AO]

Managed Care Central: The Consumer's Source of Information on Managed Care
http://www.familiesusa.org/managedcare/
The Senate debate on what has come to be known as the "Patients' Bill of Rights" is the focus of this weeks In the News. The call for legislation of this type has garnered increased attention and support over the past two years as complaints have mounted over the often unappealable decisions of HMOs to deny coverage or restrict access. While both Democrats and Republicans favor such legislation, there are key differences between the two parties' approaches. Republicans have offered a bill that establishes an independent medical reviewer for insured patients denied coverage, while Democrats favor giving patients expanded litigation options as a way to discipline HMOs. Democrats also want to see legislation that returns the ultimate decision on medical treatment to the patient's physician. Republicans disagree with this approach, seeing it as a return to the cost problems that generated the widespread need for HMOs originally. Finally, the Republican version of this legislation promises full protection only to Federal employees as GOP legislators argue the states already protect private employees.
With the year 2000 elections looming and 150 million Americans in some kind of managed care, both parties are struggling to position themselves advantageously on issues related to patient rights. Although they are focusing on the differences between their platforms as selling points, ironically, any new laws created in this area are more likely to be based on areas of agreement. The nine resources listed above offer legislative and political background information; public opinion, perspectives of interested corporate parties, and patient advocacy resources.
CNN and The Washington Post summarize the debate and provide links to background stories. Thomas: Legislative Information on the Net offers summaries, full text documents, and status of current Republican and Democratic versions of the legislation. The White House has placed online the text of the President's "Patients' Bill of Rights," which has influenced current Democratic legislation. Public attitudes towards key health care issues are assessed in a newly published report conducted by The Kaiser Family Foundation from September, 1997 to April, 1999; the foundation also provides a report comparing Democratic and Republican approaches in terms of projected costs. The ERISA Industry Committee Report represents the opinion of the nation's major employers on the issue of expanding insurers' legal liabilities and the APA (American Psychological Association) poll conducted last year reports on public opinion. The AAHP (American Association of Health Plans) gives the managed care industry's perspective. Managed Care Central is part of the FamiliesUSA Website, offering information about consumer protection for managed care, State Information Resources, and resources for health care advocates. [DC]
