Abstract

Many women will experience postnatal depression (PND) after the birth of their child and will receive treatment which is generally medically prescribed. The definitions and treatment of PND to a great extent remain in the hands of the medical profession: an area dominated by men, where PND is usually perceived as an individual illness. Christine Jebali explores from the alternative viewpoint of feminist theory PND as a condition exclusive to women.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
