Sexually transmitted disease control in the armed forces, past and present.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) present a challenge for military medical personnel in their efforts to maintain a ready and healthy force. Many tactics have been used in military STD control programs. This paper is a review of the literature outlining some past strategies used in the United States military and how they have shaped current STD policy. These efforts have included financial and administrative penalties, stigmatization and shame, screening programs, and sharing of resources with other government agencies. Punishments and stigmatization have not proven to be useful strategies and have been eliminated from current policy. Cooperation with other government agencies and screening programs are examined as tactics that have been found useful and are part of the program used by the military today to control not only the traditional STDs, but also the more recently discovered human immunodeficiency virus.

The impact of microcomputers on program excellence.
The following criteria were used to document program enhancement after the implementation of a microcomputer laboratory: faculty and student attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction (CAI); student anxiety scores toward state board examinations; increased visibility of the college (number of authored CAI modules, CAI grants, computer committee memberships, faculty attendance at computer courses); and relationship involving learning style, attitude, and student learning. Ninety-two of 112 students and 39 of 55 faculty responded to the request for data collection. Postimplementation, both faculty and students showed mean increases in their attitude toward CAI, although not statistically significant. Senior students had significantly decreased anxiety scores toward the state RN licensure examination after using Mosby's NURSESTAR for review (p less than .001). Increased visibility was also documented, but data collection continues regarding the relationship involving learning style, attitude, and student learning. It was concluded that the innovation of computers in an established nursing curriculum served to enhance program excellence.
