Passive smoking and 20-year cardiovascular disease mortality among nonsmoking wives, Evans County, Georgia.

The association of passive smoking and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality was assessed in a cohort of 513 rural, married Black and White women who were disease-free and self-described as never-smokers at baseline in 1960. Over a 20-year period, 76 of 147 total deaths were attributed to CVD. Relative risk estimates adjusted for age, cholesterol, blood pressure, and body mass from proportional hazards models were 1.59 for CVD (95% CI = 0.99, 2.57) and 1.39 (CI = 0.99, 1.94) for all cause mortality among women with husbands who smoked cigarettes.

Interviewing in physical therapy.

An important responsibility of a physical therapist is to create a communicative atmosphere with his patients so that information can be readily offered and received. The interview is an effective method for gathering information, establishing rapport, and encouraging constructive planning, all of which are important in creating an atmosphere that facilitates communication. Guidelines for effective attitude formation, questioning, and responding within the context of physical therapy are discussed.
