AB This report contains recommendations and findings from a 10-year study conducted on adolescents in the United States. The report presents the Carnegie Council's view of adolescence and the steps the nation must take to ensure that each adolescent safely reaches adulthood. The recommendations and approach set forth in this report are based on six concepts of adolescence: early adolescence is a critical turning point in life's trajectory; education and health are inextricably related; destructive behaviors in adolescence tend to cluster; common underlying factors contribute to many problem behaviors in adolescents; preventive interventions are more likely to succeed if they address underlying factors; and the essential requirements for healthy, positive development must be met through the joint efforts of institutions. Recommendations call for parental involvement in school activities, the creation of developmentally appropriate schools for adolescents, the development of health-promotion strategies, and the promotion of the constructive potential of the media.

AC 610 - Religious Organizations/Spiritual Leaders. AV Catholic AIDS Ministry 910 Marion Street Seattle, WA 98104. (206) 382-4885. AB This report discusses ways in which the Catholic community can respond in a healthy and supportive way when members, leaders, and other personnel reveal they have HIV/AIDS. Using a question-and-answer format, it is designed to assist individuals and groups to become more realistic, fair, and compassionate when dealing with people who have HIV or AIDS. The authors suggest that staff and community groups in parishes, schools, agencies, and institutions of the Catholic Church use the report as a basis for dialogue and discussion. The report urges people to respond to those who have HIV/AIDS compassionately, humbly, sensitively, and nonjudgmentally -- and to respect their privacy. It reminds readers that moral issues are a personal, private matter, and lack of knowledge of all the factors involved in individual lives can lead to unwarranted conclusions. It also outlines what HIV/AIDS is, how it progresses, ways in which it is and is not transmitted, and employment policies affecting those with HIV/AIDS. MJ Church policies . Church roles .

AB This article describes the motivations and commitment of volunteers working with AIDS patients at a long-term public hospital. The study is a deviant case analysis of a successful volunteer program serving patients perceived as difficult to work with in a geographically and psychologically isolated hospital. Almost all of the AIDS volunteers were part of or had ties to the two major risk groups, gay men and injecting drug users. They developed ties to the patients by exchanging small favors and gifts. Highly committed volunteers viewed themselves as "family", where mutual "love" evolved between themselves and patients. Developing ties to a substantial number of patients and having a religious or personal philosophy about death helped some of them overcome the stress of working with terminal ill patients. A third important dimension was "prayer", with some volunteers praying for and with patients. MJ Volunteerism . AN AD0019244. TI Materials on HIV Prevention Community Planning. FM 10 - Catalog.
