Flint and colleagues suggested that when midwives get to know the women for whom they provide care, interventions are minimised.22 The Albany midwifery practice, with an unselected population, has a rate for normal vaginal births of 77 %, with 35 % of women having a home birth.23 A review of care for women at low risk of complications has
shown that continuity of midwifery care is generally associated with lower intervention rates than standard maternity care.24 Variation
in normal birth rates between services (62 % -80 %), however, seems to be greater than
outcome differences between «high continuity» and «traditional care» groups at the same unit.25 26 27 Use of epidural analgesia, for example, varies widely between Queen Charlotte's Hospital, London, and the North Staffordshire NHS Trust.
Most studies of homebirth

outcomes for society, even if it made no
difference to the climate).

This is supported by Szatmari's work
in Canada, which
showed that family dysfunction and, for boys, service needs disappeared as significant variables associated with ADHD when comorbidity for other disorders were factored
in, of which by the far the most common was CD.31 Unsurprisingly, abused children with ADHD have poorer
outcomes in adulthood, but that could have several alternative explanations as there are many confounders that could account for these
differences in outcome.

shows that whether we examined self - control as measured by observers, teachers, parents, or children's self - reports, individual
differences in childhood self - control were significantly related to each of the adult health, wealth, and public safety

in measuring self - control.

However, the
outcomes were measured only 1 — 2 weeks after the baby was born (1 +).12 The introduction of the Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale programme
in the NICU made no significant
difference to parental stress levels and maternal — infant interactions when assessed at discharge and at 3 months after discharge (1 +).20 One RCT found that coaching parents on how to interact with their preterm infant made no
difference to knowledge of care, sensitivity to the infant or satisfaction
in parenting compared with the control group (1 ---RRB-.21 However, this may have been confounded by the amount of contact that the control mothers had with the researchers, as these mothers reported that they enjoyed having someone
show an interest
in them.

showed favorable impacts on 8
outcomes, including fewer days and episodes of hospitalization, relative to those

difference was no longer statistically significant by 2 years.13, 24 Early Start demonstrated favorable effects on 3
outcomes, including percentage who received well - child visits and dental service.25 — 27 HFA had favorable results for 4 health care
outcomes, such as the number of well - child visits and whether the child had health insurance.28 — 31 HFA had an unfavorable effect on the number of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits.32 The research
showed that Healthy Steps had a beneficial effect on 2
outcomes: 1 - month well - child visits and diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, and pertussis vaccinations.33 Finally, NFP had favorable results on 3
outcomes measuring the number of ED visits at different follow - ups but an unfavorable / ambiguous effect on number of days hospitalized between 25 and 50 months.34, 35 The research on 2 programs (Oklahoma's CBFRS and PAT)
showed no effects on measures of health care use or coverage.36 — 40 The research on 5 programs (Child FIRST, EHS, Family Check - Up, HIPPY, and PALS for Infants) did not report health care coverage or usage
outcomes.

A study of individual cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder
showed positive
outcomes at 1 - year follow - up, but the benefits were reduced over time, suggesting the need for booster sessions to sustain the gains.19 As with many forms of therapy, CBT has been found to be more successful
in reducing relapse
in the depressive pole compared with the manic pole.30 A large randomised trial of CBT
showed no
difference between CBT and treatment as usual, when all participants were included
in the analyses.31 However, results of a post-hoc analysis suggested that CBT was effective for participants who reported fewer than 12 prior episodes of illness and were not acutely unwell when therapy began; numbers of episodes of mania rather than depression seemed to predict treatment response.32 Such data can help guide the clinical application of CBT for bipolar patients.
The pattern of results for predictors and moderators needs to be examined
in the context of the overall study findings, which

in clinic settings.

Downey, Ainsworth - Darnell, and Dufur (1998) found mixed evidence of gender
differences among single - parent families on a comprehensive list of child
outcomes; all of the significant
differences, however, occurred
in educational measures and consistently
showed a disadvantage for children living with single fathers... I find support for the hypothesis that, at least
in early childhood, mother changes have more lasting influences on college expectations and school disciplin ethan father changes...»
