In our review of the literature on ethics and mentoring, no studies were found about the effects of a white professor with African-American students or of an American professor with foreign students. Obviously, both of these dyads are of great interest and concern to graduate education in the 1990's. The NSF funded study involved surveying about 1,100 graduate students and about 550 graduate faculty in 57 units and departments which were selected as representing science education. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the largest studies on the influence of the mentor on the ethical attitudes of graduate students. Preliminary analyses have been done, and every one of the 57 questions showed statistically significant differences in the responses of faculty in comparison to graduate students.
Further analyses are under way.
There is no laboratory test for the disorder and no treatment commonly accepted for the disorder once it appears in the patient. Therefore, observational monitoring systems are needed to assess tens of thousands of patients being administered neuroleptic medication to detect the onset of TD symptoms. We have stressed the psychometric qualities of the rating instrument and have published a number of papers on the topic. If widespread monitoring is to be done as seems to be required by guidelines issued by the Health Care Finance Administration of the federal government, it is necessary to develop training programs for thousands of people, usually nurses and LPN's, throughout the country where patients and nursing home residents are housed. A CD has been made for training, and it is now in the testing and demonstration phase of development.
