Two research organizations in the Philippines, HB&A International Research and Asia Research Organization, teamed up to conduct a survey. They deployed experienced interviewers across Metro Manila and used a representative sample of 500 respondents. The survey found that most respondents were Catholic, aged 34 or younger, married, and had children. It also assessed awareness and opinions regarding reproductive health, sex education, contraceptives, and the proposed RH Bill.
Survey on Exploitation of Women - Oct 15, 2014pwhorrocks
Survey on men's attitudes and understanding about sexual exploitation of women conducted by Greenwald & Associates in October, 2014. The survey sought to identify whether men understand the problem of sexual exploitation and the scope of it. The basic conclusions are that men see sexual exploitation as a problem, they believe that men's attitudes about women contribute to the problem, but they have limited knowledge on the scope of the problem.

FALL HOLIDAY RECIPE DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT (50 POINTS POSSIBLE)
You are required to price out the cost of your favorite Winter Holiday Recipe for a minimum of 8 people. You must provide the complete recipe and the current cost of the recipe for each ingredient and the total cost of the dish once it is completed. Make this a fun exercise. Think back to the things you loved as a child growing up or new traditions you have made yourself. If you need inspiration there are many online resources. Your main ingredients must be from scratch. You can use things like onion soup mix and canned soup if necessary to complete your full recipe. However, I do not want recipes made from only boxed cake mixes or boxed Jell-O (even if they are fun to make). You may make an appetizer, main course, desert or even a special drink that you are fond of. Remember that you must come up with the current cost of the ingredients, the total cost of direct labor (minimum wage in this case is $20.00 per hour) and total manufacturing overhead (in this case it is $10.00 per hour). I am looking forward to making your recipes.

Preconception Gender Selection1
John A. Robertson, School of Law, University of Texas at Austin
Safe and effective methods of preconception gender selection through �ow cytometric separation
of X- and Y-bearing sperm could greatly increase the use of gender selection by couples contem-
plating reproduction. Such a development raises ethical, legal, and social issues about the impact
of such practices on offspring, on sex ratio imbalances, and on sexism and the status of women.
This paper analyzes the competing interests in preconception gender selection, and concludes that
its use to increase gender variety in a family, and possibly for selecting the gender of �rstborn,
might in many instances be ethically acceptable.
Advances in genetics and reproductive technology
present prospective parents with an increasing
number of choices about the genetic makeup of
their children. Those choices now involve the use
of carrier and prenatal screening techniques to
avoid the birth of children with serious genetic dis-
ease, but techniques to choose nonmedical charac-
teristics will eventually be available. One
nonmedical characteristic that may soon be within
reach is the selection of offspring gender by pre-
conception gender selection (PGS).
Gender selection through prenatal diagnosis
and abortion has existed since the 1970s. More re-
cently, preimplantation sexing of embryos for
transfer has been developed (Tarin and Handyside
1993; The Ethics Committee of the American So-
ciety of Reproductive Medicine 1999). Yet prena-
tal or preimplantation methods of gender selection
are unattractive because they require abortion or a
costly, intrusive cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF)
and embryo discard. Attempts to separate X- and
Y-bearing .

South Africa Demographic and Health Survey 2016: Key Indicators Report, 2016Statistics South Africa
The South African Demographic and Health Survey is a sample survey that was conducted by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) and the South African Medical Research Council on behalf of the National Department of Health. The survey collected data from sampled households in the country between June and November 2016, with variables measuring health, fertility, nutrition and family planning, among others. The results of the survey will be used to measure the health status of South Africans as well as the coverage and quality of selected health programmes. The survey will also provide estimates on child and maternal mortality, fertility rates, and the prevalence of conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, among others.

Adolescent care seeking behaviors summary of focus group discussionsHFG Project
To strengthen the findings of the quantitative survey described in the main report, a separate team consisting of Moderator and notes taker held focus group discussions (FGDs) to get more in-depth, qualitative information. FGDs were conducted with married adolescent girls, their husbands, unmarried adolescent girls, and unmarried adolescent boys in same two districts of Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Odisha, the states where the quantitative survey was carried out. Most FGDs were done in villages other than those surveyed; the exception was that FGDs with husbands of married adolescent girls were conducted in the same village where married adolescent girls had been interviewed in the qualitative survey.

Understanding the vocabulary of health insurance helps in selecting and using coverage effectively. eHealthInsurance commissioned a national study to determine public awareness of select health insurance terminology and the specifics of health insurance coverage. Americans admit to a health insurance vocabulary deficit.
Only a fourth (23%) feel they are very sure of what the terminology used in their health insurance policy actually means.
A third are somewhat sure of what the terminology actually means (32%).
One-fourth are not very sure (13%) or have no idea (10%) what the terminology used in their health insurance policy means.
One-fifth report they don’t have health insurance (21%).
The public demonstrates its lack of familiarity with health insurance terminology by not knowing what some of the key abbreviations stand for.
Only one-third of Americans (36%) can volunteer that HMO stands for health maintenance organization.
Only one-fifth (20%) recall that PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization.
Only one out of nine (11%) recalls that HSA stands for Health Savings Account.
When asked how sure they were with some of the specifics of their health insurance policy, most people said they were very sure of the amount of their co-payment (61%), but half or fewer were very sure they knew the amounts of other basic elements of their coverage:
Half said they were very sure of what they paid for their health insurance premiums (50%).
45% were very sure of their annual deductible.
41% were very sure of the level of their plan’s co-insurance.
35% were very sure of their maximum annual out-of-pocket costs.
For each of these items, one-fifth indicated that the questions were not relevant since they did not have health insurance (21%).

20. RH Bill Issue: Sex Education The HB&A-ARO Research Group
21. 65% agree that fathers can best teach their sons about sex while mothers can best teach their daughters about sex, more than teachers. 88% of parents who agree wish to be trained how to teach their children correctly about sex. Who Should Teach Sex Education The HB&A-ARO Research Group

47. Statements Presented: Birth rates in different countries have declined not because of birth control but due to changes in attitudes, education, urbanization and economic development, a desire for a better way of life, and the tendency to marry late and have fewer children. Many developed countries are concerned that their population is now shrinking and are incentivizing young couples to start families and have more children. Countries with huge populations, like India and China, have grown in economic development and will soon be major superpowers. On Population and Economic Development The HB&A-ARO Research Group
48. The Philippines has 90+ million people and because of our human resource talent, over 10 million are employed overseas.

49. Statements Presented: The Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI has expressed the Catholic Church position, stating grave concern that the RH Bill may be passed. The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) expressed the same concern. The concern has to do with the resultant immoral society whose people will no longer follow Church teachings, which would result when the contraceptive mentality takes root in a country, leading to high abortion rates, high divorce rates, and increase in the number of teenage and out-of-wedlock pregnancies. Features of the RH Bill The HB&A-ARO Research Group
50. 90% are not in favor of Congress passing a bill that will: Require children aged 10-11 to learn sex techniques with vivid pictures from male and female teachers who will explain only the biological and technical aspects of sex. Features of the RH Bill The HB&A-ARO Research Group
