Prostate Cancer Treatment Affected by Race and Marriage
A new study has found that a man's race and marital status appears to
influence his treatment options for prostate cancer. Black men are more
likely to choose radiation therapy, whereas white men choose surgery.
Single men were also more likely to choose radiation therapy, while married
men opted for the invasive surgery.

Victories Lead to Fan Injuries
Researchers in the United Kingdom found that fan violence at sporting events
was more associated with home team victories, than losses. The authors of
the study suspected that victories increased fans' levels of self-confidence,
assertiveness or patriotism. Celebratory drinking may have also increased
the risk of violence after a home team victory.

Pediatricians Group Condemns Steroid Use
The American Academy of Pediatrics has released a new policy statement
urging adults to keep a watchful eye on teen athletes and the use of
steroids. They urged doctors, parents and coaches to do all they can to
prevent the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing substances by
young people. A survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention found that about 7 percent of ninth-graders admitted taking
steroids without a doctor's prescription.

American Kids Doing Well, Except for Obesity
A new study has found that the well-being of America's children is the
best it has been since 1975, despite being offset by declines in health
due to obesity. Gains were experienced in such areas as improvements in
teen birth rates; violent child victimization and criminal activity rates;
smoking and alcohol and illicit drug use. The percentage of obese children
in the United States has tripled since the 1970s.
