    Abstract Empirical links between socioeconomic status and logical and sociomoral judgment were studied. Logical judgment was measured with adaptations of the pendulum and correlations tasks devised by Inhelder and Piaget (1958); sociomoral judgment was scored with the standard Kohlberg interview. Measures of socioeconomic status (SES) were status of family of origin and subject's educational attainment and occupational prestige. In a sample of 83 middle-aged men, the 3 measures of SES accounted for 25% and 12% of the variance in logical and sociomoral judgment, respectively. Adult occupational prestige accounted for 6% of the variance in logical judgment beyond that explained by family status and education, suggesting that adult cognitive functioning may be related to occupational placement, occupational experience, or both.

    Abstract This study examined the relation of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) to stages of logical and sociomoral judgment. Logical judgment was measured using adaptations of the pendulum and correlations tasks of Inhelder and Piaget; moral judgment was scored using the standard Kohlberg interview. In a sample of 143 adults, logical and sociomoral judgment were correlated .30 to .50 with most of the Class I (Factor 2) CPI scales, those capturing social poise and interpersonal adequacy, and Class III (Factor 3) CPI scales, those capturing achievement potential and intellectual efficiency. The findings offer support for a cognitive interpretation of competence and ego development.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to help hospital consultants identify their needs in relation to teaching skills, leading to the development of a teacher training programme.
    Design: The study was directed at all 869 consultants in the region and initially involved a postal questionnaire which had a 60.5% response rate.
    Setting: Hospitals throughout Northern Ireland.
    Subjects: Hospital consultants.
    Results: Results from this questionnaire indicated that while the majority of respondents were interested teachers, only 34% had received any teacher training. The questionnaire was followed by a focus group study involving three groups of consultants drawn randomly from those who had responded to the questionnaire. Participants in these groups identified the following key areas of hospital education: qualities of hospital teachers; selection procedures; problems of teaching in hospitals; the need for teacher training and how it should be provided.
    Conclusion: The study highlighted that hospital teachers need to acquire and update their teaching skills through attending courses that should include basic teaching and assessment/appraisal skills. These courses should last 1 or 2 days and be provided at a regional or subregional level. As a result of this study, teacher training courses have been developed in this region.

    Abstract This study examined the degree that the distribution of coupons brought drug users at risk of HIV infection into outpatient detoxification treatment. Demographic characteristics and outcome indicators were compared for patients recruited through coupon redemption (n=238) versus other referral channels (n=1129). Significantly more coupon subjects had no previous drug treatment, compared with non-coupon subjects (28% vs. 13%), had shared needles in the previous 30 days (39% vs. 31%) and more were ethnic minorities and men. Length of treatment stay and program completion rates did not differ between the groups. Within a year of the coupon project's end 43% of coupon subjects returned to the treatment program. Results suggest untreated heroin users will utilize drug treatment if more is available.

    Abstract Objective: To consider evidence for the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions in reducing the risk of infection with HIV of injecting drug users.
    Method: We reviewed 19 published studies of the effectiveness of individual counselling, HIV testing, group interventions, street outreach, and a 'social' intervention designed to change norms for safer behaviours.
    Results: Eight of 15 studies that examined behavioural outcomes provided evidence of the effectiveness of an experimental intervention, compared with a control or comparison group. In four of these studies, however, serious design limitations made results difficult to interpret. In the other four studies without design limitations, the success of the experimental interventions may have been due to their greater length and intensity as well as to having been conducted with stable and well-motivated populations. Nine of the 15 studies showed evidence of marked behaviorial changes in both experimental and comparison group(s), with the changes in many cases being sustained for upwards of 12 months.
    Conclusions: A close examination of the evidence and competing hypotheses for the pattern of results suggests that participating in evaluation research may itself be a valuable intervention. Implications for the development of interventions include the potential efficacy of health risk assessment. Implications for evaluation of interventions include the need for developing unobtrusive measures and for assessing the impact of behavioural assessments. Despite the large behavioural changes reported in most of the studies, a substantial proportion of subjects receiving interventions reported unacceptably high levels of risk behaviours. New, more potent interventions are needed, such as those designed to change the norms of entire communities of drug users concerning safer injection and safer sex.
