LOS ANGELES — Nearly every parent knows that gripping, awful feeling of a baby screeching when put to bed — and the ensuing anxiety over whether to pick up the baby or tough it out and let the baby cry. New research shows that a middle ground not only brings peace to the household but also does no harm.

So-called behavioral sleep techniques don’t cause long-lasting harm to the child or to the rela-tionship between the par-

ent and child, the study published mid-September in the journal Pediatrics shows.

“Parents and health pro-fessionals can confidently use these techniques to reduce the short- to me-dium-term burden of in-fant sleep problems and maternal depression,” the study authors wrote.

The study, by research-ers at several institutions in Australia and Britain, of children at age 6 was a fol-low-up to one conducted of infants whose parents reported sleep problems at age 7 months.

Nearly half of parents report sleep problems in their babies who are 6 months to a year old, and techniques such as “con-trolled comforting” and “camping out” have been shown to help. Controlled comforting is gradually in-creasing the time taken to respond to the baby’s cries. Camping out has the par-ents sitting with the baby as he or she settles to sleep and gradually moving to-ward the door.

Such techniques also have been shown to re-duce maternal depression.

And, the researchers say, there could be other benefits: “Furthermore, teaching parents to regu-late their children’s sleep behavior is a form of lim-it-setting that, combined

with parental warmth, constitutes the optimal authoritative parenting style for child outcomes.”

“Crying it out” was for a time recommended, at least among mothers des-perate for sleep. That “is not usually recommended nowadays because of the distress it causes parents and infants,” the research-ers wrote.

The Kids Sleep Study returned to the partici-pants of the infant study, and drew their conclu-sions in the follow-up based on information from trained research-ers, who conducted the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and showed parents how to collect sal-ivary cortisol to measure fatigue.

When you dial 911 in Colorado, the first responders who arrive to help usually show up in a fire truck. On interstates and high-ways connecting vast swaths of rural Colorado, they are likely volunteers — people whose day jobs range from lawyers to butch-ers to high school students.

Fully three-fourths of Amer-ica’s first responders are saving lives for free, extricating a driver trapped in her car, or extinguish-ing a truck explosion. Colorado law does not require them to be medically trained to handle those calls, said Micki Trost of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control

In much of the state, the first person on the scene of a life-threatening crash could be a volunteer nurse, or it could be someone whose training stops at cardiopulmonary resuscita-tion. Just how much money is available for those volunteers’ training and equipment depends on the tax receipts of often cash-strapped rural fire districts.

“There isn’t a state mandate on the training because it’s a local decision on what requirements are going to be for that agency for those responders,” Trost said.

Similarly, the state Emergency Medical and Trauma Services has no specific requirements for individual fire departments. “It’s a local decision,” said spokes-woman Jeanne-Marie Bake-house.

Clear Creek Fire Chief Kelly Babeon said some day the state may adopt laws that provide blanket requirements for medi-cal training. But he worries that more rules means it will be hard-

er to find volunteers willing to commit, especially in rural areas.

“Regulations on our require-ments keep progressing and changing,” Babeon said. “But I think it would make it difficult for some departments to have people available. We do the best with what we have.”

Clear Creek’s volunteers cover crashes on more than 30 miles of Interstate 70 in the mountains from the Eisenhower tunnel to the top of Floyd Hill, as well as three dangerous passes: Guanel-la, Loveland and Berthoud.

The department handles about 1,300 calls every year, of which 36 percent occur on the highway. Babeon is one of only two paid people on a 45-person force that responds to those calls. The rest of the force consists of volunteers.

“I’m interested in saving lives and just being out there help-ing people,” said volunteer Erin Vaughn, a junior at Clear Creek High School. “I think it’s what I’m meant to do.”

Volunteers in Clear Creek are trained at varying degrees to keep injured people alive until an ambulance arrives from the nearest town. The department requires they have a minimum 72 hours of fire and rescue train-ing a year. Newer volunteers are required to attend 12 sessions in their first six months.

Clear Creek is lucky to have three flight-for-life nurses among its volunteers. They include Cpt. Peter Werlin, who says 80 per-cent of Clear Creek’s crisis calls are for medical assistance. Often, the first person on the scene is one of his crew.

“If something happens in … any of our smaller towns, it is our volunteer that has that best chance to save that life,” Werlin said. That life often depends on the volunteer’s knowledge of ba-sic CPR, and training on how to use a heart-starting defibrillator device.

“A fancy helicopter, a para-medic ambulance, does nothing if you don’t have a volunteer or citizen rescuer starting things as early as possible,” he said.

In rural, sparsely populated districts, it’s often hard to find qualified medical personnel to give their time, and when you do, that person isn’t always available. John Decker, of the volunteer Wet Mountain Fire Protection District in Westcliffe, notes that his 35 volunteers include a real estate agent, a carpenter and the

town butcher.“When (an emergency call)

comes in, he tosses his apron, and he’s off to a call,” Decker said.

Volunteer firefighters in West-cliffe, population 568, in Colora-do’s southern mountains, must at least know CPR and how to run a defibrillator.

“We’re so remote, you’re lucky to get what you’ve got,” said Decker, who, as president of the Colorado Firefighter’s Associa-tion, knows his is not the only rural fire district operating on a shoestring budget.

“Some departments, you know, they barely can afford gasoline, workman’s comp, or insurance on their vehicles,” Decker said.

Some states provide funding to help pay for operations sup-port for emergency responders like volunteer firefighters. Cali-fornia, for example, enacted a law in 1986 that collects $1 per vehicle registration for this.

Colorado has no similar laws, but it’s not for lack of trying. Babeon says he has appealed to legislators here with the idea to enact a per-vehicle registration fee, without success. Instead, Babeon says his district’s opera-tions budget comes from grants, private donations and pancake breakfasts.

In addition to all the vehicle crashes, the state’s volunteer fire-fighters somehow also respond to their first responsibility — fires. This summer’s extreme fire danger has added to the stress on many rural districts. Wet Moun-tain Fire Protection District’s Decker says the drought has tak-en its toll on his team.

“We’re on pins and needles ‘til we get our first good snow or rain,” he said.

COLORADO RELIES HEAVILY ON VOLUNTEER FIRST RESPONDERSBy Colorado Public News

Most children have their eyes tested every year while they are in school. But what should people

do after they leave school? Dr. Doug Carter of Eye Specialists of North Colorado in Greeley explains when and why patients should seek out an ophthalmologist and how they can take care of their eyes in between visits.

DO I NEED REGULAR EYE EXAMS?Carter said people with no family history of

eye disease and who don’t have vision problems should return to routine checkups around the age of 40.

Carter, who has been in practice in Greeley for 25 years, said people are getting better about going to the doctor when they are well instead of waiting until something is wrong.

“They are much better about being proactive,” Carter said.

After an eye exam, depending on the indi-vidual, another exam may not be needed for an-other two to four years. At the age of 40 is when people generally start to experience presbyopia, meaning they have trouble seeing objects up close. After the age of 65, Carter said that is when incidents of vision trouble start to climb.

WHAT IF THERE IS FAMILY HISTORY OF EYE PROBLEMS?

“You shouldn’t wait until you are 40,” Carter said.

He recommended patients with a family his-tory of glaucoma, macular degeneration or other eye diseases see an ophthalmologist before the age of 40 to get a baseline. From there, the doc-tor can tailor a plan to the individuals needs.

“If you have a family history, the game changes,” Carter said, “or if you have one of the diseases. It is very important to know family history.”

GOING TO THE EYE DOCTOR IS NOT JUST FOR YOUR VISION

Going to the eye doctor is not only good for your eyes but your overall health, as well. Dia-betes can even be detected at an eye exam.

“There are many things we can diagnose before it becomes symptomatic,” Carter said.

Blood vessels in the eyes can be seen well, and can be very telling. Carter said they are able to look for glaucoma, diabetes, early onset macular degeneration, hypertensive changes and more.

WHAT HAPPENS AT AN EYE EXAM?“We want to check their vision and see if the

eyes are 20/20 in both eyes,” Carter said. “If one is not, sometimes the other eye takes over and compensates. If they don’t see 20/20 we try to find out why.”

Carter said they also check for pressure inside the eye for glaucoma, which is damage to the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss.

“There are about 2.5 million in the U.S. with glaucoma and half are undiagnosed. It’s a sneaky little disease that creates trouble later,” he said.

Ophthalmologists also check to make sure blood flow to the eye is normal, check for cor-

neal disease, make sure the eyelids are function-ing properly and much more.

“It is a complicated little organ,” he said.

DOES WHAT I EAT AFFECT MY EYES?Simply put, yes. A healthy diet is important

for eyes to function at their best. Carter said a big study done eight years

ago showed dietary items with zinc and lu-tein helped to stabilize the macula in the eyes. This part of the eye is what contracts macular degeneration, which leads to loss of vision. Leafy, dark green vegetables are high in zinc and lutein. Carter said for people who aren’t as fond of those veggies, there are ocular vitamins available.

I WORK WITH A COMPUTER ALL DAY, WILL THAT HURT MY EYES?

Carter said that computers do not damage eyes but they do dry eyes out.

“Reading and computers are the biggest work that eyes do. And in this drier climate, they tend to get a little dry,” he said.

He said you can give your eyes a break by looking away for about 10 seconds every 20 minutes or so if they are getting tired. People may also try eye drops or having a humidifier by their desk to keep their eyes from drying out. Carter said it also helps to have the computer illuminated properly with no glare to keep eyes comfortable.

COMMON SENSE KEY TO EYE HEALTHTaking care of your eyes comes down to com-

mon sense things, Carter said.“Stay healthy, have a healthy diet, make sure

you eat dark green, leafy veggies. Don’t smoke — smoking increases macular degeneration. Sunglasses are useful and make eyes more com-fortable. And wear safety glasses if you are doing something that puts you at risk.”

And knowing your family history and what may happen to your eyes plays an important role in eye health.

“As people live and work longer, vision is very important,” Carter said.

WASHINGTON — If you still have a job in this econ-omy, you’re supposed to feel grateful. But stress is what more people tend to feel at work these days, and a new study finds that for those who experience such strain on the job, the risk of devel-oping heart disease increas-es by about 25 percent.

That elevated heart at-tack risk, however, is less high than has been widely supposed, the authors of the new study wrote Sept. 13 in the journal Neurology. While addressing workplace stress might help improve employees’ health, they said, there’s lower-hanging fruit that would yield higher health benefits, including an expansion of efforts to get smokers to kick the habit.

Job stress is defined by high demands at work and/or a worker’s low level of control over work hours and conditions. A 2007 survey by the American Psychologi-cal Assn. found that three-

quarters of Americans listed work as a significant source of stress, and more than half acknowledged that their productivity had suffered as a result of stress.

For employers, work-place stress is no bargain: Job stress is estimated to cost U.S. employers $300 million a year in ab-senteeism, lost productivity, higher turnover and added medical, legal and insurance fees.

The latest research is not a fresh study but a compilation of existing studies, some pub-lished in medical journals, others not. It gathers evidence of the link between job stress and heart disease from stud-ies conducted in Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Britain. Some published studies have assessed the in-creased cardiovascular toll of stress on the job at 40 per-cent. But when unpublished studies were taken into con-sideration, the contribution of job stress to cardiovascu-lar risk started to shrink.

Looks like eating more fruits and vegetables is the not-so-surprising secret to weight control for older women.

It’s a common complaint as waistlines widen with advancing birthdays, espe-cially for post-menopausal women, who typically say, “I’m eating the same, but the numbers on the scale just keep creeping higher.” What’s not the same, unfor-tunately, is the body’s meta-bolic rate, which naturally slows down with age. Add to that a lifestyle that’s often less active and you’ve got the math to verify that calories-in vs. calories-out can move the scales in the wrong direc-tion.

Sure, you can step up the exercise regime and vow never to order dessert again. But according to a new study of nearly 500 overweight women in their 50s and 60s, it’s what they were adding to their meals that ultimately helped them lose weight and keep it off.

Dr. Bethany Barone Gibbs and colleagues at the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh stud-ied eating habits of women who lost weight over short term (six months) and long term (four years). The highly motivated dieters in the six-month group ate fewer des-serts and fried foods, drank fewer sugar-sweetened bev-erages and ate more fish.

After four years, the wom-en were still saying “no” to pie and soda fairly often, but the habit that emerged as the most powerful predictor for long-term weight loss was eating more fruits and veg-etables, followed by eating less meat and cheese. Good news for Southerners: They weren’t necessarily skipping fried foods.

“People are so motivated when they start a weight-loss program,” Barone Gibbs

said. “You can say, ‘I’m never going to eat another piece of pie,’ and you see the pounds coming off. Eating fruits and vegetables may not make as big a difference in your caloric intake. But that small change can build up and give you a better long-term result, because it’s not as hard to do as giv-ing up french fries forever.” During the four-year study, the number of times diet-ers ate out in restaurants

declined, but Barone Gibbs chalks that up to the down-turn in the economy, not a sign that eating out less is linked to weight loss.

A weight-control study published in the September issue of The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics showed that add-ing just two servings of fruits and vegetables to a daily diet was linked to a 3-pound weight loss over four years. This may not sound like much, but keep in mind that most folks gain weight every year.

It turns out the small changes we can sustain dur-ing the long haul make the biggest difference in life-long weight control. So a perfect meal for me would be a big green salad, grilled fish with lemon and, yup, french fries.

BRIEFLY


CHICAGO — Catherine Sedun re-members binge drinking among students when she attended college about a decade ago. Despite an influx of programs to combat the problem in recent years, she says it remains a top concern on many campuses.

“These students work so hard to get into these universities, and once they get here, a lot of them spiral out of control with their freedom,” she said. “It’s time to party.”

In an attempt to save students from themselves, Sedun, a high school teacher and a graduate stu-dent at Northwestern University, headed the Red Watch Band pro-gram at the Evanston campus last year. The program teaches students to recognize the warning signs of al-cohol poisoning — vomiting; cold, clammy skin; the inability to wake up — and to call for medical help.

It’s part of a wave of college ini-tiatives meant to quell the chronic problem. The percentage of college students who binge drink — de-fined as five drinks for men and four drinks for women in two hours — has held steady at about 40 percent for most of the past decade, consis-tently more than non-college stu-dents, federal surveys show. Com-bining alcohol with energy drinks has fueled students’ ability to drink more and longer.

One estimate, from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Al-coholism, blames binge drinking for more than 1,800 college student deaths a year, mostly from drunken driving. Research shows that fre-quent binge drinkers are more likely to miss classes, get hurt, engage in risky sex and have problems in class.

They’re also happier than non-

binge drinkers, according to a recent study at one school, but research-ers say that seems to be because of their social status. Most often they’re white males involved in athletics and fraternities.

Acknowledging that some stu-dents are going to drink no matter what, many schools are practicing “harm reduction” — trying to save students from their own worst be-haviors.

At Northwestern, the issue has particular resonance. Nineteen-year-old freshman Matthew Sun-shine died of alcohol poisoning in 2008 after a party in his dorm hall. As part of a settlement with his fam-ily, the school agreed to review its alcohol policy. The next year, North-western started the Red Watch Band program, developed at Stony Brook

University in New York, where Sun-shine’s mother worked.

NU also has joined the Learn-ing Collaborative on High-Risk Drinking, in which 32 schools across the country are trying short-term changes to alcohol policy and monitoring the results. As part of its efforts, Northwestern employs BASICS, an assessment of students who get involved in alcohol-related medical or police incidents, and low-ered the time for treatment from 30 to 20 days, according to Lisa Currie, director of health promotion and wellness.

“There is no magic bullet,” she said. “It’s small improvements ... that work together.”

Some freshmen are subject to the new procedures even before they get to school. At DePaul University

in Chicago, for example, students are required to take an online self-assessment to analyze their alcohol use before they get to campus.

Loyola University Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago also use the online program, called e-CHUG, or electronic Check-Up to Go.

Meanwhile, schools are work-ing to offer alcohol-free events, like the Beer Free Zone at UIC, and NU Nights at Northwestern, which of-fered a showing of the movie “Chi-cago” with related dance lessons, or bingo with prizes such as iPods.

Harper College in Palatine offers a new class about drug and alcohol abuse in college, taught by a teacher who admits drinking once affected her own performance in school. Some schools even offer alcohol-free spring breaks.

At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, binge drink-ing has been notorious on dates such as Halloween and Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day, a daylong drunkfest sponsored by bars that were losing money when March 17 fell within spring break. In response, the school and city have tried to crack down on such events, including steps to limit alcohol availability and installing surveillance cameras.

All these efforts are a response to a study by the National Institute on Alcohol and Alcoholism that identi-fied binge drinking as a top problem on campuses across the country a decade ago.

Since then, a survey of 747 college presidents reported by the Center for Science in the Public Interest found that nearly all colleges had implemented some form of alcohol education, with efforts targeting high-risk populations such as first-

year students, sorority and fraternity members, and athletes. Thirty-four percent of colleges banned alcohol for all students, and four in five col-leges offered an option for alcohol-free residences.

Still, success has varied. At some colleges, nearly 70 percent of the stu-dents were identified as binge drink-ers; at others there were none.

It will take much harder work to make a dent in the problem, ac-cording to researchers such as Toben Nelson at the University of Minne-sota, especially at big schools with an emphasis on sporting events, which had the most problems. Harm re-duction and screening help, he said, but research shows that telling stu-dents why they shouldn’t drink does little to change their behaviors.

He says colleges could do much more to limit the availability of alco-hol, which saturates college culture. He points to a success story at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, which lowered its percentage of binge drinkers from the 60s to the 40s by limiting alcohol and requir-ing registration for parties so police could make sure they weren’t getting out of hand.

Research by the Harvard School for Public Health found that under-age students in states with extensive laws restricting underage and high-volume drinking — such as keg registration, 0.08 driving laws and restrictions on happy hours, pitchers and advertising — were less likely to binge drink.

Schools may always have binge drinkers, Nelson said, but it’s defeat-ist to say nothing can be done to cut down on the severity and bad effects.

“You’re not going to stop it,” Nel-son said. “The idea is to reduce it and keep a lid on it.”
