There would be between 6 and 12 participants, alot of simultaneous dialogue (we hope) and results at various stages of the group's choices. It asks them to allocate limited resources between competing needs so their allocation choices are relevant, and perhaps the easiest to observe/document. But we are also interested in how they arrive at those choices - what are their justifications or reasons, and how do they negotiate among themselves. My initial thought is to have audiotaping (perhaps more than one recorder), notetakers who have been trained to document reasons/justifications and group dynamics/negotiation, and photos or other visual documentation of choices at various stages of the game. I'd be interested in hearing how others might have handled similar ventures, or in any ideas from those of you more experienced at data collection from groups where there may be simultaneous conversation.

The prize, consisting of a cheque of 500 U$ and a certificate and travel money for the 1998 annual meeting will be awarded for the eighth time. The competition is for graduate student papers, which must be submitted in English, based on all types of scholarly products in the field of science and technology studies: unpublished papers, published articles, dissertation chapters. It is recommended that dissertation chapters be adapted so as to make them "stand-alone." The work may not be older than two years at the time of submission. The intended readership for the papers is a general STS audience, rather than a specialized disciplinary readership. A graduate student can only make one submission a year. The length of a paper should not exceed 10,000 words -- including notes and references. According to the rules, longer papers will be "punished" in the evaluation procedure, i.e., they do not have to be read in their totality. They should be typed double-spaced. Six (6) copies should be sent to the chair of the Nicholas Mullins Award Jury (see address below), but for students for whom this would be a financial hardship two (2) copies would be acceptable. The name and address of the author, the name and address of the author's institution should be on a separate sheet, so that these can be detached from the distributed copies. Deadline for submitting contributions is May 15, 1998. Papers received after that date will be considered for next year's contest. The evaluation is executed blindly by a jury of STS scholars. The winner will be announced at the Banquet at the Annual Meeting of the 4S. Winners are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of the 4S.

There is also a locational effect. For example, in Alabama there are basically two cities where the uninsured can get into a public emergency room without too many hassles (other than a very long wait). People in other locations have to drive long distances or put themselves at the mercy of the local providers. (Of course, if the triage nurse does not deem your case an "emergency" you can't even get into the public hospitals without a hefty down payment and/or proof of insurance.) In addition, there is a great deal of variation in outreach to sex workers by public health departments, so be sure to build this into your design.

I wanted to give you a prompt response but do not have time to develop my ideas properly right now. Some brief comments, however, would include: (1) Bandura's ideas are better developed in his Social Cognitive Theory (used to be called Social Learning Theory) and the idea of self-efficacy is an important one, although I think that the HBM is somewhat rudimentary in catching sociological phenomena (I would recommend the PRECEDE/PROCEED model or Stages of Change); (2) dealing with the continuum of prostitution is difficult, for example many women are in non-committed sexual relationships with an economic basis (i.e., sex fopr money or drugs), but are difficult to label "prostitutes," and the research project I am involved in here in Atlanta is trying to tackle that issue. As for the feminist literature, I am pretty well versed perhaps we can have a conversation about these if you are interested. Good luck with your endeavors. Dave Long > Feb 24, 1998 > > Hello.

I wanted to give you a prompt response but do not have time to develop my ideas properly right now. Some brief comments, however, would include: (1) Bandura's ideas are better developed in his Social Cognitive Theory (used to be called Social Learning Theory) and the idea of self-efficacy is an important one, although I think that the HBM is somewhat rudimentary in catching sociological phenomena (I would recommend the PRECEDE/PROCEED model or Stages of Change); (2) dealing with the continuum of prostitution is difficult, for example many women are in non-committed sexual relationships with an economic basis (i.e., sex fopr money or drugs), but are difficult to label "prostitutes," and the research project I am involved in here in Atlanta is trying to tackle that issue. As for the feminist literature, I am pretty well versed perhaps we can have a conversation about these if you are interested. Good luck with your endeavors. Dave Long > Feb 24, 1998 > > Hello.

For example, persons who are involved in sustained use of cocaine and or heroin (which may include some of the population you are studying) may postpone health care for more immediate demands on their time such as work and coping and using drugs. In a preliminary analysis of health services utilization by illicit drug users and non-users we have found that procrastination seems to be independently related to utilization and failure to obtain needed care, after ability to pay, health status, and demographics are controlled. Some users report that they are able to defer a health care need until it reaches a stage that will get them immediate attention at an ER. If you are interested, I could send you a paper based upon our preliminary data analysis. Have you thought about using a research design that includes women who engage in prostitution with a comparison group of women who are not involved in prostitution. This comparison would give you the ability to examine the role of prostitution more directly. Good luck! -Dale Dale D.
