Symposium planned for Sunday Feb 15 2004, 9:00-10:30 AM Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Seattle, 12-16 February 2004. "We will examine the methodological approaches taken in some of the research in this area: its applicability and its limitations to understanding child abuse and trauma, including the way researchers frame their research questions, the way this research is presented to the media, and the way the media portrays this research. The presenters will also discuss how and why trends in scientific research, and the media presentation of this work, can foster disbelief in reports by victims, discount the experiences of real victims of sexual abuse, and create opportunities for misuse of research results in forensic contexts." http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/~jjf/aaas04.html

WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov 11 (OneWorld) -- Between 21,000 and 55,000 people have died as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq (news - web sites) and its aftermath, according to a new report that also warned of rapidly deteriorating health conditions for those who survived.
London-based Medact, the British affiliate of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), concluded that the war's continuing impact--particularly the failure of occupation authorities to ensure security-- has resulted in a further deterioration of the Iraqi population's health status. IPPNW's U.S. affiliate, Physicians for Social Responsibility, joined in the report's release Tuesday. The report's funding was provided by Oxfam and the Polden-Puckham Charitable Foundation.
"The health of the Iraqi people is generally worse than before the war," according to an executive summary of the 12-report, which noted that the state of health in Iraq was already poor by international standards. It said women and children were particularly at risk due to the breakdown in law and order and damage to infrastructure and that women were also being affected by the emergence of religious conservatism after the war.
