TEENAGE PREGNANCY or ADULT PREGNANCY?
Which one is the bigger epidemic really? Teenagers having unwanted pregnancys or adults having unwanted pregnancys?
I kind of feel that adult unwanted pregnancy maybe a bigger problems then teenagers pregnancy. I think that grown people probably end up with more issue then teenagers do. DNA testing, alimony ect. I think that teenage pregnancy is more publized. Just because you're a "grown adult" doesn't mean you're any better off.

Although I agree with the overall messages and approach I'm not sure that all this could be done in 10 minutes. Am I just a spoilt secondary care clinician with too much time or should we think of an alternative model - particularly if there are more patients ...

is hypertension the 'new' epidemic?
The CDC in America have just published some data saying that from 2005 to 2009 nearly every state experienced an increase in rates of self-reported hypertension from 25.8 to 28.3% and also some increase (but not so marked) in taking of antihypertensives. Are we seeing the effects of more measurement and more patient knowledge or the effects of changing lifestyles and demography? Is the US experience reflected worldwide?sadian (Source: Doc2Doc BMJ Cardiology)
