Therapies, rehabilitation and specialty medical care are just a few of the extra costs that parents face when raising children with special needs. In a new
study that will be
published in current issue of Pediatrics, Paul T. Shattuck, Ph.D., professor of social work at Washington University in St. Louis, found that families with similar demographics and nature of their children's special needs have different out-of-pocket
health expenditures depending on the state in which they live.
Two groundbreaking articles, a
study examining women's experiences after infertility and a
review of chronic fatigue syndrome in childbearing women, were
published in the July/August 2008 issue of the Journal of Midwifery & Women's
health. Women's Lived Experience of Infertility after Unsuccessful Medical Intervention is authored by M. Patrice McCarthy, RN, CNS, PhD.
