We are specifically interested in "emancipated" adolescents who live on their own or with a partner (or children) as a result of a high personal income (e.g., through they or their partner engaging in illicit drug trade). With this supposed emancipation comes many responsibilities one would ascribe to adults, such as paying rent for oneself and others, buying clothing and other necessary and status-related commodities, et cetera. We have not, however, been able to identify a suitable scale to measure "maturation" as we perceive it. Would anyone have suggestions of reliable and valid instruments that they would recommend?

In our studies of drug users in South Florida we are careful to differentiate between legal and other forms of income. If these items are of interest let me know. I believe income and income sources are some of the more difficult items to elicit, particularly if the respondent is receiving funds from one or more entitlement sources and is afraid that their income may be at risk if they answer income questions. Do you know Claire Sterk, an anthropologist on the faculty at Emory who has extensive experience in studies of young women and other drug users who are on their own? Claire would be an excellent colleague. Good luck with the proposal.

For the most part, however, we are specialists in clinical, not social sciences, and so we are seeking your advice and any current research you might direct us to on one or more of the following questions: Who gets in to medical school? What are the attitudes and career plans/decisions of graduates, has this changed in recent years? And if so, how? What is the impact of different levels of tuition fees on the socio-economic profile of medical school students? What is the impact of different debt load levels on the attitudes of graduating physicians in terms of their sense of entitlement, their feelings about what level of income they should achieve, and their sense of dedication and commitment to the public? I look forward to your early reply and would be pleased to share the final product when it is completed.
