Excerpt:

Seventh grade girls who have trouble reading are more likely to get pregnant in high school than average or above-average readers, according to a new study from Philadelphia. Researchers found that pattern stuck even after they took into account the girls' race and poverty in their neighborhoods - both of which are tied to teen pregnancy rates. "We certainly know that social disadvantages definitely play a part in teen pregnancy risk, and certainly poor educational achievement is one of those factors," said Dr. Krishna Upadhya, a reproductive health and teen pregnancy researcher from Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Poor academic skills may play into how teens see their future economic opportunities and influence the risks they take - even if those aren't conscious decisions, explained Upadhya, who wasn't involved in the new research.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

OB/GYNs back over-the-counter birth control pills

Excerpt:

No prescription or physician 's examination needed : The nation 's largest group of obstetricians and gynecologists says birth control tablets should be sold over the counter, like condoms. Tuesday's surprise viewpoint from these gatekeepers of contraception could possibly improve long time efforts by females 's supporters to make the pill more accessible. However nobody expects the pill to be sold without a prescription any type of time quickly : A company would have to find government consent initially, and it's not clear if any type of are considering it. Plus there are big questions about what such a step would imply for lots of females 's pocketbooks if it were not covered by insurance. Still, energy may be building.

One woman's case, say three doctors from Boston's Harvard Medical School who reported it online today in the Archives of Neurology, suggests that "the growing digital record will likely become an increasingly important means of identifying neurologic disease, particularly in patient populations that rely more heavily on written rather than spoken communication."
