A Three Year Maintenance Schedule for the Junior-Senior High School Building of the Beecher City School District

There are two purposes of this field study. The first purpose of the field study is to predict the anticipated revenues available in the building fund of the Beecher City school district. The prediction includes building and life safety monies available through the end of the 1984 fiscal year. The main purpose of the field study is to provide a schedule for maintaining and refurbishing the junior-senior high school building for the school years of 1979, 1980, and 1981. The field study is divided into four chapters. The first chapter conservatively predicts the assessed valuation that the school district can expect to the end of the fiscal 1984 school year. Included in chapter one is the anticipated revenues that the Beecher City school district can expect in the building fund. Chapter two includes bids on exterior and interior improvements anticipated during the 1979-1980 school year. Included in chapter two are bids on the parking lot expansion, front entrance door replacement, gymnasium exit door replacement, installation of drainage tile, and the replacement of the front steps and walk. Also included in chapter two are bids on paint, replacement parts for the lockers in the boys locker room, shower head replacement, retiling room 109, replacement of all interior locks, replacement of the dishwasher and the exhaust hood in the kitchen, and the replacement of all tables in the library. Chapter three includes bids on the replacement of the stage curtains, the replacement of the gymnasium lighting, the replacement of library chairs, the purchase of three study carrels, and the purchase of additional library shelving. Chapter four contains bids for the installation of a dust collection system for the industrial arts and agriculture shop area. The field study contains two appendixes. The first appendix contains a list of all contractors who bid on the various items in the field study. The second appendix is a documented log of all accomplished activities in the preparation of the field study. The field study is fifty four pages in length

Psychosocial impact of undergoing prostate cancer screening for men with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.

OBJECTIVES: To report the baseline results of a longitudinal psychosocial study that forms part of the IMPACT study, a multi-national investigation of targeted prostate cancer (PCa) screening among men with a known pathogenic germline mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. PARTICPANTS AND METHODS: Men enrolled in the IMPACT study were invited to complete a questionnaire at collaborating sites prior to each annual screening visit. The questionnaire included sociodemographic characteristics and the following measures: the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Impact of Event Scale (IES), 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36), Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer, Cancer Worry Scale-Revised, risk perception and knowledge. The results of the baseline questionnaire are presented. RESULTS: A total of 432 men completed questionnaires: 98 and 160 had mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, respectively, and 174 were controls (familial mutation negative). Participants' perception of PCa risk was influenced by genetic status. Knowledge levels were high and unrelated to genetic status. Mean scores for the HADS and SF-36 were within reported general population norms and mean IES scores were within normal range. IES mean intrusion and avoidance scores were significantly higher in BRCA1/BRCA2 carriers than in controls and were higher in men with increased PCa risk perception. At the multivariate level, risk perception contributed more significantly to variance in IES scores than genetic status. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to report the psychosocial profile of men with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations undergoing PCa screening. No clinically concerning levels of general or cancer-specific distress or poor quality of life were detected in the cohort as a whole. A small subset of participants reported higher levels of distress, suggesting the need for healthcare professionals offering PCa screening to identify these risk factors and offer additional information and support to men seeking PCa screening
