&lt;P&gt;First of all, thank you&amp;nbsp;to all&amp;nbsp;the people who are supporting this website and the&amp;nbsp;posts of&amp;nbsp;the Forum Gurus, who helped me to understand the essentials of writing a letter of motivation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm based in EU and I'm applying for a job as a multimedia developer. It is required to provide one&amp;nbsp;example of my multimedia production. I&amp;nbsp;plan to&amp;nbsp;submit a flash movie which I have developed recently.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My questions&amp;nbsp;are:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1. Should I mention this example in my motivation letter&amp;nbsp;supplying more details about it or&amp;nbsp;to attach the file with no extra explanations? Just to note that the&amp;nbsp;application&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;online (no paper copies of the CV and LoM).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. Should I put my name, address and telephone number&amp;nbsp;at the top right corner of the LoM?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Looking forward to your replies.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;P.S.: Once I have a draft of my Motivation letter I will post it here.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>CV writing</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CvWriting/zjrdh/post.htm</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:37:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:461880</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;address&gt;

I am dyslexia and find proof-checking my work near impossible. It is long but will probably only be stupid mistakes.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;***&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;Introduction&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Due to social and media pressures the ideal body shape is becoming thinner and this contributes to eating disorders in both males and females Harrison &amp;amp; Cantor (1997).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anorexia nervosa is defined by the DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) as being 15% under recommended weight for height, age and gender. The patient also has to have a distorted body view and a drive to become thin.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Gordon, (2000) states the ratio of females suffering from an eating disorder compared to males at 9-1. He recognises a gender difference in eating disorders but urges people to acknowledge the existence of the male sufferers. He describes a male patient had visiting a doctor, who had replied to the patients anorexia as âa problem that only happens to girlsâ. He claims that being labelled as suffering with a âfemaleâ disorder can lead to the male feeling ashamed and emasculated and therefore more hesitant to get help, and for this reason some believe that male anorexia is largely unreported. Gordon claims this feeling of shame is enhanced when even female anorexics are judgemental at group therapy. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This negative attitude towards male anorexia causes health risks. It may result in professionals and the males themselves not recognising their early symptoms and therefore may develop chronic anorexia nervosa before they are diagnosed. (Margo, 1987, cited in BMA publication 2000) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoBodyText2&gt;Whitney et al (2005) studies individual experiences of people who carers of anorexic people. The femalesâ reports were more emotional than the males who appeared to be less attached with a less sympathetic viewpoint, suggesting males have a more negative attitude towards anorexia nervosa than females do.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Support that males have unhealthy eating patterns in addition to females comes from Forman-Hoffman (2004) who conducted a study involving 9,118 adolescents, 7.3% of females and 3.1% of males reported unhealthy eating patterns over the previous week. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, theory correlates with the attitudes as many eating disorder theories are specific to women. For example some psychoanalysists argue that anorexia nervosa is developed during whilst females experience separation anxiety from their mothers. (Darvell, BMA, 2000)&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Literature on male anorexia nervosa is limited and there does not appear to be any prior research into the difference between attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa and gender. Furthermore, there appears to be a fair amount of ignorance when it comes to male anorexia nervosa, present in medical professionals as well as psychological theories not even accepting its existence might be suggesting that additional education about male anorexia needs to be put into place.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To clarify an attitude is a negative, positive or neural feeling towards an âattitude objectâ, which does not have to be a physical object; it could be an event for example. Attitudes are formed by affective and cognitive responses and behavioural intentions. The following study only examines explicit attitudes, which are attitudes which are self-reported, which can be easily measured on a likert scale.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The aim of this study is to investigate the different attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa between males and females by use of a questionnaire will remain reliable over time. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The hypothesis for this study is gender will affect attitudes towards males suffering from anorexia nervosa.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;Method&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;50 male and 50 female students were selected by opportunity sampling to be participants for the study. Each participant was asked to fill out two questionnaires a week apart. The males were either part of a university football club or an engineering society, while the females were psychology students. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A 5-point likert scale was used.. The questionnaire used 18 affective, 18 behavioural and 14 cognitive. 25 of the questions were testing for a negative attitude, and 25 for a positive attitude. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The first questionnaire conducted had 50 questions but after the analysis had been carried out questions were removed from the questionnaire. Below is a table showing the removed items and why they were removed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The overall design was a survey. The independent variables (IVs) of this study were gender of the participant and which questionnaire was completed. Gender is a between subjects IV, which has two levels; male and female. Which questionnaire completed is within subject IV, as each participant completed both questionnaires. This IV has two levels, the first questionnaire and the second questionnaire. The dependent variable (DV) is the scores on the questionnaire. The predictor variable (PV) in this study was the scores of the first questionnaire, while the criterion variable (CV) in this study was the scores of the second questionnaire.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The participantsâ details were anonymous and were only identified by their mothersâ maiden name and consent was gained from all participants involved who were briefed beforehand and understood that they could withdraw at any time.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;First a questionnaire was constructed by brainstorming statements indicated positive and negative attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa and a mixture of affective, behavioural and cognitive, (18,18,14 respectively) with 25 negative attitude questions and 25 positive attitude was deliberately used. Then the questionnaire was typed up with a 5-point likert scale, with the options of â1. Strongly Disagreeâ, â2. Disagreeâ, â3. Neither Agree Nor Disagreeâ â4. Agreeâ â5. Strongly Agreeâ beneath each question. A brief and a form of keeping the participants details anonymous by using their motherâs maiden name, was also constructed and then potential participants were approached and asked to partake in the study. Once 50 male students and 50 female students had completed the questionnaire the results were coded into numbers as shown above. Then the negative attitude questions were recoded so that 5=1, 4=2, 3=3, 2=4 and 1=5, and then the questionnaires were both qualitatively and quantitatively analysed. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Qualitative analysis was done by looking at the questionnairesâ results and seeing if there was any reason why any particular question shouldnât be there. For example, if most people selected âneither agree nor disagreeâ then the question clearly did not serve its purpose. Quantitative analysis involved looking at the mean, and deleting any items which lay considerably outside 2.5-3.5 margins. Any items with a significantly larger standard deviation or lower correlation figures were also deleted. Then with the questions deleted new quantitative analysis was conducted to check that the results were significant. Then the questionnaire was handed out to the same participants to complete. The second set of data was then reanalysed and a t-test was carried out to compare the totals of each participant for either questionnaire to check the questionnaire was reliable over time, and Leveneâs test was perform to check for a homogeneity of variance. None of the participants where told we were comparing male and female attitudes until after the questionnaires were completed at which point they could disagree for their data to be used.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;Results&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The item means statistics are as would be expected when testing two opposing attitudes on a 5-point likert scale. From table 2 it is clear that all the means and standard deviations are similar. With the standard deviation being around 1. The item means are as they should be, with the mean around 3, (M = 3.137) with a few deviations, (Range = 1.290, Variance = 0.124,) no items having a mean of much less than 2.5, (Min = 2.470), or much higher than three point five, (Max = 3.760). The item variance is fairly low (M=1.011) and deviates little (Range = 0.634, Variance = 0.33) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These show similar results to those found in the 1&lt;SUP&gt;st&lt;/SUP&gt; questionnaire. Standard deviation are around 1. Means are around 3, (M = 3.128) with a few deviations, (Range = 1.320, Variance = 0.136,)&amp;nbsp; These very similar results would suggest that the questionnaire had consistency over time; however this is tested for and discussed further later.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;Reliability analysis of 1&lt;SUP&gt;st&lt;/SUP&gt; and 2&lt;SUP&gt;nd&lt;/SUP&gt; questionnaires&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A reliability analysis of the items of the first questionnaire was performed to explore to what extent the scale was internally consistent. The results showed strong internal consistency in both questionnaires (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.891). The result suggest that the scale is not unidimensional (Inter-Item Correlation = 0.289) Similar findings were found with the reliability analysis of the second questionnaire, there was a similar strong internal consistency (Cronbrachâs Alpha = 0.882) and the scale still appeared to be multidimensional (Inter-Item Correlation = 0.270)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;Test-Retest Reliability&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The results above show that both tests are internally consistent but to discover if the test was consistent over time a test-retest correlational analysis was conducted, scores from the same individuals, on the same items on both questionnaires should be similar to indicate reliability over time. Each participantsâ total score was calculated for questionnaire one and questionnaire two and then the relationship between the two variables was examined. A significant strong correlation between scores on the two questionnaires was found (R = 0.949, p = 0.001). These results indicate that the test was reliable over time. The strong correlation between the two tests is illustrated below in a scatter-graph.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The hypothesis for this study was 1-tailed. The females scored a mean of 70.04 while males scored a mean of 55.06. An independent t-test was conducted to explore the influence gender had on attitudes towards male anorexia. A Leveneâs test of homogeneity of variance was carried out and found to be non-significant (p = 0.183) and therefore it can be assumed that there are no significant differences between variances. Gender was shown to have a significant effect on attitudes towards male anorexia, (df = 98, t = 8.045, p = 0.001). &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Discussion&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To summarize the results, internal consistency and consistency over time were present in the questionnaires; homogeneity of variance was assumed an independent t-test yielded significant results indicating that there is a difference between male and female attitudes towards male anorexia with males holding the negative viewpoint, while the average female has a more positive attitude towards male anorexics. This is supports the hypothesis that gender affects attitudes towards male anorexic.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Although these findings are highly significant it would be beneficial to conduct research where the scale was unidimensional as opposed to multidimensional.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These results support that Gordonâs viewpoint (2000) was correct that males suffering with anorexia nervosa are stigmatised, however Gordon also expected females to have negative attitudes towards anorexic males which this study does not find supportive evidence for. To ensure that it is not just female anorexics that stigmatise male anorexics a study could be conducted to investigate the difference between female who are suffering with anorexia nervosa and females who are not.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Negative attitudes towards male anorexia may be due to males being undereducated about anorexia as the condition is mainly associated with females. These results could be the consequence of a lack of media coverage. Female bias in academic publications about male anorexia may also contribute (Darvell, 2000). According to Margo, (1987) this will indirectly cause anorexic males health to become worse. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All the participants where students, with no mature students included, which served as a control, however further research to see if the results can be generalised would be worthwhile. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All the participants completed the questionnaires in similar conditions and the use of a questionnaire meant all the questions were standardised. Opportunity sampling was a suitable method for this study due to limitations on time, and the results were highly significant, but if a random sampling method was used for similar research in the future it would reduce possible criticisms. Because none of the participants where told we were comparing male and female attitudes until after the questionnaires were completed, the likelihood of demand characteristics was minimised.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To conclude, the results show a significant difference between male and female attitudes towards anorexia. Males showed a more negative attitude. The questionnaires internal consistency and reliability over time, along with homogeneity of variance of the results can all be assumed. The negative attitudes theorists suggest could be affecting the sufferersâ physical and mental health (Margo, 1980; Gordon, 2000) so it is a vitally important area of study to as evidence will in itself raise awareness and encourage other means of doing so&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Please proof read my report</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseProofReadMyReport/zgpvx/post.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Dec 2007 03:40:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:451500</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I am dyslexic and find proof-reading really hard.

I know that its kind of long, but its all in 3rd person and under the right headings etc. its only the prose and silly spelling mistakes&amp;nbsp;I am conserned with which would be obvious to others. Thankyou so much. Obviously the stats arent relevent at all but thought that it might be really annoying reading something so out of context.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;DIV class=Section1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;Introduction&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Due to social and media pressures the ideal body shape is becoming thinner and this contributes to eating disorders in both males and females Harrison &amp;amp; Cantor (1997).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anorexia nervosa is defined by the DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) as being 15% under recommended weight for height, age and gender. The patient also has to have a distorted body view and a drive to become thin.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Gordon, (2000) states the ratio of females suffering from an eating disorder compared to males at 9-1. He recognises a gender difference in eating disorders but urges people to acknowledge the existence of the male sufferers. He describes a male patient had visiting a doctor, who had replied to the patients anorexia as âa problem that only happens to girlsâ. He claims that being labelled as suffering with a âfemaleâ disorder can lead to the male feeling ashamed and emasculated and therefore more hesitant to get help, and for this reason some believe that male anorexia is largely unreported. Gordon claims this feeling of shame is enhanced when even female anorexics are judgemental at group therapy. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This negative attitude towards male anorexia causes health risks. It may result in professionals and the males themselves not recognising their early symptoms and therefore may develop chronic anorexia nervosa before they are diagnosed. (Margo, 1987, cited in BMA publication 2000) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoBodyText2&gt;Whitney et al (2005) studies individual experiences of people who carers of anorexic people. The femalesâ reports were more emotional than the males who appeared to be less attached with a less sympathetic viewpoint, suggesting males have a more negative attitude towards anorexia nervosa than females do.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Support that males have unhealthy eating patterns in addition to females comes from Forman-Hoffman (2004) who conducted a study involving 9,118 adolescents, 7.3% of females and 3.1% of males reported unhealthy eating patterns over the previous week. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, theory correlates with the attitudes as many eating disorder theories are specific to women. For example some psychoanalysists argue that anorexia nervosa is developed during whilst females experience separation anxiety from their mothers. (Darvell, BMA, 2000)&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Literature on male anorexia nervosa is limited and there does not appear to be any prior research into the difference between attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa and gender. Furthermore, there appears to be a fair amount of ignorance when it comes to male anorexia nervosa, present in medical professionals as well as psychological theories not even accepting its existence might be suggesting that additional education about male anorexia needs to be put into place.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To clarify an attitude is a negative, positive or neural feeling towards an âattitude objectâ, which does not have to be a physical object; it could be an event for example. Attitudes are formed by affective and cognitive responses and behavioural intentions. The following study only examines explicit attitudes, which are attitudes which are self-reported, which can be easily measured on a likert scale.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The aim of this study is to investigate the different attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa between males and females by use of a questionnaire will remain reliable over time. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The hypothesis for this study is gender will affect attitudes towards males suffering from anorexia nervosa. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;Method&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;50 male and 50 female students were selected by opportunity sampling to be participants for the study. Each participant was asked to fill out two questionnaires a week apart. The males were either part of a university football club or an engineering society, while the females were psychology students. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A 5-point likert scale was used.. The questionnaire used 18 affective, 18 behavioural and 14 cognitive. 25 of the questions were testing for a negative attitude, and 25 for a positive attitude. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The first questionnaire conducted had 50 questions but after the analysis had been carried out questions were removed from the questionnaire. Below is a table showing the removed items and why they were removed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;


&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Item Number deleted&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Item Question&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Exclusion Method&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would not find it odd if a straight male told me he longed to have the body shape of another male.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I believe any man with an eating disorder is not a âreal manâ.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;3,4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It would not affect me if I heard a close male friend had dealt with anorexia alone&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;5&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If a male told me he desired to be a underweight body size it would be fine with me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;7&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would be more worried about a female who was not eating than I would a male.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;9&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would feel more uncomfortable discussing a maleâs body shape with himself than I would a femaleâs body shape with herself.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;10&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would be equally worried about a male who wasnât eating just as much as I would a female.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;11&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would feel unsympathetic to a male with anorexia.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;12&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The gender of a person would not affect how much I would intervene if they were suffering with anorexia.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;13&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I believe males who suffer from anorexia are effeminate.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;15&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I believe all males with anorexia are attention seeking.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;16&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would actively try to discourage a male friend that I was worried was anorexic.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;17&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would be equally likely to assume a male had an eating disorder than a female.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;18&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would be just as likely call a female friend âfatâ as I would a male friend.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;19&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would try to be supportive to any friend or family member with anorexia.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;20&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would reassure a female friend that she is not overweight just as much as I would a male.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;23&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would feel ill at ease if a male told me he desired to be a worryingly underweight weight.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;24&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I believe only homosexual males suffer from anorexia.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;25&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would not be supportive to any friend or family member with anorexia.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;26&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I believe it is unlikely that a male that suffers with anorexia would be good at football.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;29&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would spend as much time with a clinically underweight male as I would with a male of normal weight.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;34&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would feel upset if I felt a close male friend or family member had suffered from anorexia alone.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;35&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I believe anorexic males should be treated differently than anorexic females.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;37&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would reassure an insecure average/ underweight male that he is not overweight as much as I would a female.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;2,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;38&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I do not believe male anorexic is related to testosterone levels.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;39&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would be more likely to call a male friend âfatâ in a jokey manner.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;40&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would be faster to assume an underweight female has an eating disorder than I would a male.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1,2,3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;45&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I believe anorexic males should be treated the same as anorexic females.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;49&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is just as normal for a male to suffer with anorexia as it is a female.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;50&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I believe it is weirder for a male to suffer from anorexia than it is for a female.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1, 3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;Table 1 â A table showing the deleted items and reason for exclusion, 1 = Excluded due to mean, 2=Excluded due to standard deviation 3=Excluded due to item total correlation, 4= Other reasons, mainly qualitative (ie: Participants commented question was unclear or did not appear attitudes towards anorexia well)&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The overall design was a survey. The independent variables (IVs) of this study were gender of the participant and which questionnaire was completed. Gender is a between subjects IV, which has two levels; male and female. Which questionnaire completed is within subject IV, as each participant completed both questionnaires. This IV has two levels, the first questionnaire and the second questionnaire. The dependent variable (DV) is the scores on the questionnaire. The predictor variable (PV) in this study was the scores of the first questionnaire, while the criterion variable (CV) in this study was the scores of the second questionnaire.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The participantsâ details were anonymous and were only identified by their mothersâ maiden name and consent was gained from all participants involved who were briefed beforehand and understood that they could withdraw at any time.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;First a questionnaire was constructed by brainstorming statements indicated positive and negative attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa and a mixture of affective, behavioural and cognitive, (18,18,14 respectively) with 25 negative attitude questions and 25 positive attitude was deliberately used. Then the questionnaire was typed up with a 5-point likert scale, with the options of â1. Strongly Disagreeâ, â2. Disagreeâ, â3. Neither Agree Nor Disagreeâ â4. Agreeâ â5. Strongly Agreeâ beneath each question. A brief and a form of keeping the participants details anonymous by using their motherâs maiden name, was also constructed and then potential participants were approached and asked to partake in the study. Once 50 male students and 50 female students had completed the questionnaire the results were coded into numbers as shown above. Then the negative attitude questions were recoded so that 5=1, 4=2, 3=3, 2=4 and 1=5, and then the questionnaires were both qualitatively and quantitatively analysed. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Qualitative analysis was done by looking at the questionnairesâ results and seeing if there was any reason why any particular question shouldnât be there. For example, if most people selected âneither agree nor disagreeâ then the question clearly did not serve its purpose. Quantitative analysis involved looking at the mean, and deleting any items which lay considerably outside 2.5-3.5 margins. Any items with a significantly larger standard deviation or lower correlation figures were also deleted. Then with the questions deleted new quantitative analysis was conducted to check that the results were significant. Then the questionnaire was handed out to the same participants to complete. The second set of data was then reanalysed and a t-test was carried out to compare the totals of each participant for either questionnaire to check the questionnaire was reliable over time, and Leveneâs test was perform to check for a homogeneity of variance. None of the participants where told we were comparing male and female attitudes until after the questionnaires were completed at which point they could disagree for their data to be used.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;Results&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;Descriptive Statistics from 1&lt;SUP&gt;st&lt;/SUP&gt; Questionnaire after items removed&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;The item means statistics are as would be expected when testing two opposing attitudes on a 5-point likert scale. From table 2 it is clear that all the means and standard deviations are similar. With the standard deviation being around 1. The item means are as they should be, with the mean around 3, (M = 3.137) with a few deviations, (Range = 1.290, Variance = 0.124,) no items having a mean of much less than 2.5, (Min = 2.470), or much higher than three point five, (Max = 3.760). The item variance is fairly low (M=1.011) and deviates little (Range = 0.634, Variance = 0.33) &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;Table 5 â A table summarising the descriptive statistics for 2&lt;SUP&gt;nd&lt;/SUP&gt; questionnaire&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These show similar results to those found in the 1&lt;SUP&gt;st&lt;/SUP&gt; questionnaire. Standard deviation are around 1. Means are around 3, (M = 3.128) with a few deviations, (Range = 1.320, Variance = 0.136,)&amp;nbsp; These very similar results would suggest that the questionnaire had consistency over time; however this is tested for and discussed further later.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;Reliability analysis of 1&lt;SUP&gt;st&lt;/SUP&gt; and 2&lt;SUP&gt;nd&lt;/SUP&gt; questionnaires&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A reliability analysis of the items of the first questionnaire was performed to explore to what extent the scale was internally consistent. The results showed strong internal consistency in both questionnaires (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.891). The result suggest that the scale is not unidimensional (Inter-Item Correlation = 0.289) Similar findings were found with the reliability analysis of the second questionnaire, there was a similar strong internal consistency (Cronbrachâs Alpha = 0.882) and the scale still appeared to be multidimensional (Inter-Item Correlation = 0.270)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;Test-Retest Reliability&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The results above show that both tests are internally consistent but to discover if the test was consistent over time a test-retest correlational analysis was conducted, scores from the same individuals, on the same items on both questionnaires should be similar to indicate reliability over time. Each participantsâ total score was calculated for questionnaire one and questionnaire two and then the relationship between the two variables was examined. A significant strong correlation between scores on the two questionnaires was found (R = 0.949, p = 0.001). These results indicate that the test was reliable over time. The strong correlation between the two tests is illustrated below in a scatter-graph.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;50&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;55.06&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;10.25&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1.45&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;50&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;70.04&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;7.34&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P align=right&gt;1.04&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The hypothesis for this study was 1-tailed. The females scored a mean of 70.04 while males scored a mean of 55.06. An independent t-test was conducted to explore the influence gender had on attitudes towards male anorexia. A Leveneâs test of homogeneity of variance was carried out and found to be non-significant (p = 0.183) and therefore it can be assumed that there are no significant differences between variances. Gender was shown to have a significant effect on attitudes towards male anorexia, (df = 98, t = 8.045, p = 0.001). &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;Discussion&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To summarize the results, internal consistency and consistency over time were present in the questionnaires; homogeneity of variance was assumed an independent t-test yielded significant results indicating that there is a difference between male and female attitudes towards male anorexia with males holding the negative viewpoint, while the average female has a more positive attitude towards male anorexics. This is supports the hypothesis that gender affects attitudes towards male anorexic.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Although these findings are highly significant it would be beneficial to conduct research where the scale was unidimensional as opposed to multidimensional.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These results support that Gordonâs viewpoint (2000) was correct that males suffering with anorexia nervosa are stigmatised, however Gordon also expected females to have negative attitudes towards anorexic males which this study does not find supportive evidence for. To ensure that it is not just female anorexics that stigmatise male anorexics a study could be conducted to investigate the difference between female who are suffering with anorexia nervosa and females who are not.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Negative attitudes towards male anorexia may be due to males being undereducated about anorexia as the condition is mainly associated with females. These results could be the consequence of a lack of media coverage. Female bias in academic publications about male anorexia may also contribute (Darvell, 2000). According to Margo, (1987) this will indirectly cause anorexic males health to become worse. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All the participants where students, with no mature students included, which served as a control, however further research to see if the results can be generalised would be worthwhile. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All the participants completed the questionnaires in similar conditions and the use of a questionnaire meant all the questions were standardised. Opportunity sampling was a suitable method for this study due to limitations on time, and the results were highly significant, but if a random sampling method was used for similar research in the future it would reduce possible criticisms. Because none of the participants where told we were comparing male and female attitudes until after the questionnaires were completed, the likelihood of demand characteristics was minimised.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To conclude, the results show a significant difference between male and female attitudes towards anorexia. Males showed a more negative attitude. The questionnaires internal consistency and reliability over time, along with homogeneity of variance of the results can all be assumed. The negative attitudes theorists suggest could be affecting the sufferersâ physical and mental health (Margo, 1980; Gordon, 2000) so it is a vitally important area of study to as evidence will in itself raise awareness and encourage other means of doing so. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;SUMMARY&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;A highly motivated, determined, and dedicated 29 year old general practitioner (GP) with practical work experience in conducting evidence based medicine during my 16th month compulsory national service, when I was working as a GP in a health clinic handling most aspects of a GP responsibilities. My appreciation for importance of â evidence based medicineâ has led me to propose surveys and researches to gather appropriate data concerning most daily encountered medical problems. My commitment to humanitarian activities and my professional obligations led to a two-week voluntary work for&amp;nbsp; Red Crescent during the very first days of catastrophic *** earthquake ( date), when I experienced working with the least equipment and facilities during a natural disaster of massive number of casualties and lots of emergencies. I spent two month of my internship and one month of my clerkship in a rural health clinic where I became familiar with the the country health system and policies in rural area while under supervision I was responsible for daily patient care and visits, handling and updating patients records, doing patients follow-ups, vaccination, pregnancy and pediatric routine cares, birth control, consultation, monitoring community health and addressing any health problem in the community. I proposed a survey during this invaluable experience of my internship to find out the results of failure of patient for following up their routing visits especially for pregnant women and juvenileâs which resulted in 23 percent increase in their attendance. The rest of my internship was in a large medical center in *** city during which we were trained for conducting a wide array of medical skills in all medical disciplines. I understand the value of research in medicine and have always been keen to conduct practical researches to solve some problems of community or bring new treatment to practice, which could be noticed from my research background. I have always been eager to connect my current knowledge to perpetual stream of new medical breakthroughs and practices through reading reputable medical journals, however my research background makes me to be critical to new article and research papers form content and methodology perspective. Playing Basketball has taught me the value of teamwork and to be more proficient in indispensable art of time management. I studied medicine in and graduated from a medical school listed in both WHO and IMED directory of medical schools.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

My simultaneous enthusiasm for conducting evidence-based medicine in all aspects of my practice and medical research resulted to my proposition of carrying out problem-oriented surveys and local researches to promote comprehensive health care and patient management. As the result we decided to undertake some preventive and educational measures to reduce the number of patients with low back pain, knee pain, depression, peptic ulcer, headache altogether by 19 percent within an eight-month follow-up of the targeted population. I worked with three other doctors, seven nurses, and ten physician assistances, also being responsible for monitoring nurses and assistances work, coordinating personnel, and scheduling night shifts. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;Put it all in point form.

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUMMARY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A highly motivated, determined, and dedicated 29 year old
general practitioner (GP) with practical work experience in conducting evidence
based medicine during my 16th month compulsory national service, when I was
working as a GP in a health clinic handling most aspects of a GP
responsibilities. My appreciation for importance of â evidence based medicineâ
has led me to propose surveys and researches to gather appropriate data
concerning most daily encountered medical problems. My commitment to
humanitarian activities and my professional obligations led to a two-week
voluntary work for&amp;nbsp; Red Crescent during the very first days of
catastrophic *** earthquake ( date), when I experienced working with the least
equipment and facilities during a natural disaster of massive number of
casualties and lots of emergencies. I spent two month of my internship and one
month of my clerkship in a rural health clinic where I became familiar with the
the country health system and policies in rural area while under supervision I
was responsible for daily patient care and visits, handling and updating
patients records, doing patients follow-ups, vaccination, pregnancy and
pediatric routine cares, birth control, consultation, monitoring community
health and addressing any health problem in the community. I proposed a survey
during this invaluable experience of my internship to find out the results of failure
of patient for following up their routing visits especially for pregnant women
and juvenileâs which resulted in 23 percent increase in their attendance. The
rest of my internship was in a large medical center in *** city during which we
were trained for conducting a wide array of medical skills in all medical
disciplines. I understand the value of research in medicine and have always
been keen to conduct practical researches to solve some problems of community
or bring new treatment to practice, which could be noticed from my research
background. I have always been eager to connect my current knowledge to
perpetual stream of new medical breakthroughs and practices through reading
reputable medical journals, however my research background makes me to be
critical to new article and research papers form content and methodology
perspective. Playing Basketball has taught me the value of teamwork and to be
more proficient in indispensable art of time management. I studied medicine in
and graduated from a medical school listed in both WHO and IMED directory of
medical schools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*** Health Clinic, city, country ( 2006 - Jun, 2007)&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
General Practitioner (GP)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As a result of post graduation compulsory National Service, I served in the
above health clinic having the full responsibility of a GP, handling primary
health care issues , emergency settings, psychiatric cases, and being
responsible for executing comprehensive patient workout, providing full medical
and psychiatric consultation, figuring out patients diagnostic and therapeutic
plan including: drug prescription, requesting x-rays and labs, referring to
higher centers and appropriate specialties. My simultaneous enthusiasm for
conducting evidence-based medicine in all aspects of my practice and medical
research resulted to my proposition of carrying out problem-oriented surveys
and local researches to promote comprehensive health care and patient
management. As the result we decided to undertake some preventive and
educational measures to reduce the number of patients with low back pain, knee
pain, depression, peptic ulcer, headache altogether by 19 percent within an
eight-month follow-up of the targeted population. I worked with three other
doctors, seven nurses, and ten physician assistances, also being responsible
for monitoring nurses and assistances work, coordinating personnel, and
scheduling night shifts.&lt;br&gt;
