Some Catholics are saying they find it insulting — and insufficient — that regaining the status of a layperson is a punishment for a cleric who abuses children.
Our study has shown that dentists have better self-reported oral health behaviors and periodontal status than the laypersons.
The aims of this study were: a) to assess and compare the oral health status among dentists and laypersons, b) to compare the dentists' practice of preventive dentistry and oral self-care behaviors to that of the laypersons.
This study aimed to access the oral health status of dentists and laypersons, and compare the dentists' practice of preventive dentistry and oral self-care behaviors to that of the laypersons.
The response characteristics included witnessed status (no witness, witnesses by layperson, witness by healthcare provider), type of bystander CPR (no bystander CPR, compression-only CPR, conventional CPR with chest compression and rescue breathing), and the use of a public-access AED by bystander (yes/no).
There was enough variation in socio-economic status within the groups of laypersons and patients.
We identified two cardinal characteristics that distinguished the healthcare pathways and related significantly to appropriateness of referral status, namely the role of laypersons and the involvement of the regular source of care.
The cardinal characteristics that differentiated healthcare pathways and that were significantly related to the appropriateness of referral status, namely the role of laypersons and the involvement of the regular source of care, suggest two main directions for intervention.
Furthermore, we assessed how EMS dispatch-instruction for CPR and breathing status of the CA victims described by laypersons were associated with CPR by lay rescuers.
However, lay rescuers description of abnormal breathing may be inconsistent, and it is unclear how EMS dispatchers provide instruction for CPR based on the breathing status of the CA victims described by laypersons.
