Analyzing family interaction: taking time into account
Article Abstract:
Family interactions have become easier to code and analyze because of technological developments in computer hardware and software. The onset and offset times of various behavioral events can now be coded as affordable devices for preserving time in research records become available. The data, which may be represented as timed-event sequences that follow the Sequential Data Interchange Standard, may be analyzed using sequential analysis software. Time-based reliability assessment, sequential analysis and lagged event-based log-linear analysis examples are presented.

Suicidal thoughts of women with HIV infection: Effect of stressors and moderating effects of family cohesion
Article Abstract:
Variables that may have the most relevance for women with HIV infection, such as health status, depressive mood, family cohesion and perceived stigma were studied. It was hypothesized that such variables could be linked with suicidality in a sample of women with HIV infection. The findings suggest that suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts are quite common amongst women with HIV. The number of HIV-related symptoms was higher for those who reported suicidal thoughts.

Effects of resources and stressors on burden and depression of family members who provide care to an HIV-infected woman
Article Abstract:
The depression and burden felt by family members providing care and support to HIV-infected women are related to family resources and stressors. Resources refer to economic status, family cohesion and members' health, while stressors include living with HIV-infected woman by family members, perceived stigma and number of HIV-related symptoms. Family resources had little effect in buffering relations among stress, depression and burden.
