FORWARD In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1 Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with anger management is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about anger management, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so. In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related to anger management, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. Public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized. Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on anger management. Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary research results via the Internet. While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to anger management, these are noted in the text. E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser. You may find it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases. NOTE: At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional. However, some links may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet. For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access electronic resources. For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive glossary is provided. For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given. We hope these resources will prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on anger management. The Editors

CHAPTER 1. STUDIES ON ANGER MANAGEMENT Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to locate peer-reviewed references and studies on anger management.

The Combined Health Information Database The Combined Health Information Database summarizes studies across numerous federal agencies. To limit your investigation to research studies and anger management, you will need to use the advanced search options. First, go to http://chid.nih.gov/index.html. From there, select the “Detailed Search” option (or go directly to that page with the following hyperlink: http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html). The trick in extracting studies is found in the drop boxes at the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the dates and language you prefer, and the format option “Journal Article.” At the top of the search form, select the number of records you would like to see (we recommend 100) and check the box to display “whole records.” We recommend that you type “anger management” (or synonyms) into the “For these words:” box. Consider using the option “anywhere in record” to make your search as broad as possible. If you want to limit the search to only a particular field, such as the title of the journal, then select this option in the “Search in these fields” drop box. The following is what you can expect from this type of search: ·

Using Community-based Participatory Processes to Bring Health Education Technology to Communities Source: Health Promotion Practice. 3(1):83-94, January 2002. Summary: The authors discuss using community-based participatory processes to bring health education technology to communities. The article focuses on procedures to be used in identifying appropriate tailored health education materials in the context of a community-based lay health advisor (LHA) program. The procedures include (1) identifying the desired features of the health education materials, (2) prioritizing the content and format of the materials, and (3) developing methods for distributing the materials. The authors (1) present an overview of the LHA program, known as Whole Health Outreach (WHO), that was implemented in rural Missouri to build relationships

between the community and mothers and their families with the assistance of LHA's; (2) describe how each step in the tailored message creation process was taken; and (3) review computer-tailored messages, the type of message chosen for WHO. WHO began in 1989 in rural Missouri originally as a collaborative effort between community churches and the local health department when a group of community residents realized that they and their neighbors did not have access to certain health and social services. The main focus of the program then was on decreasing family violence, which had been identified as one of the most significant community problems. WHO used an ecological framework to decrease family violence by addressing individual, social, community, organizational, and policy factors that influence family violence. WHO began collaborating with the Saint Louis University School of Public Health (SLUSPH) in 1993 in order to develop a program that would develop a structured relationship with women and families. This component used LHA's, referred to as resource mothers (RM's). The RM component of WHO was created to provide prenatal and postpartum home visits. During periodic retreats with SLUSPH faculty, the RM's expressed a need for additional resources to use with the mothers in their communities. Computertailored messages were developed for promoting smoking cessation of the mothers, nutrition, maternal role attainment, and anger management. Specific factors to be included in the messages were based on a review of the literature and the experience of the RM's. After a team of academicians and RM's decided on the format of the messages, other RM's tested the messages. Two sample newsletters were then created for each of the four topics and these were distributed to women recruited from local communities for review. Feedback from the women was used to design the final form of the messages. Currently, women are being enrolled in a study to receive the tailored messages or to receive the RM program as has been provided for the last several years (usual care). Process evaluation has indicated that the newsletters are being well received by the participants. The effect of the messages will be evaluated through preand posttests of behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs and qualitative interviews with program participants. 3 tables, 29 references. ·

Reversal Theory Analysis of Relapse Crises Following Smoking Cessation Source: Patient Education and Counseling. 22(2):91-97, December 15, 1993. Summary: Using questionnaire and medical data from participants in community-based smoking programs before they quit smoking, and qualitative interview data from 200 of the participants who were abstinent 3 months after smoking cessation, researchers explore the use of reversal theory on smoking cessation and relapse. Reversal theory involves telic-paratelic metamotivational states, negativistic-conformist metamotivational states, and mastery-sympathy metamotivational states. Essentially, the telic state is the level at which the person can resist smoking, however, when the person is in the paratelic state, the temptation to smoke is more powerful because the long-term consequences of having a cigarette are downplayed. The negativist state places ex-smokers at risk for smoking if tempted, either because they wish to break their rule of not smoking or because it acts as a surrogate for another rule they wish to break but are unable or unwilling to do. The mastery-sympathy metamotivational state causes temptations to smoke to be seen as challenges or trials wherein successful resistance is considered pleasant; however, persons in the sympathy state may relapse from smoking as a means of treating or rewarding oneself. A 2-phase study using interview data tested the relationship between reversal theory constructs and smoking outcome. Researchers used data from a previous questionnaire and interview study on the predictors of longterm maintenance of smoking cessation in phase one. Abstinent volunteers whose data were analyzed in phase one were recruited by telephone 3 months following cessation

and were interviewed 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 months after cessation. Subjects who had remained abstinent described the most tempting situation experienced since quitting or since the previous interview; subjects who had smoked during this period described the first smoking occasion. Phase two focused on experiences earlier in cessation; volunteers were recruited 1 week following cessation and were interviewed 2, 4, 6, 12, and 26 weeks after cessation. Results show that smoking was more likely to occur if the exsmoker was tempted while in either the paratelic or sympathy states; cigarette availability was related to smoking and was especially important in the early stages of cessation (within the first 6 weeks). These results suggest that future smoking cessation programs should incorporate state-specific interventions to deal with temptations to smoke, for example assertiveness training or anger management strategies to express negativism. 28 references. ·

Get Heart Smart! Source: Heart & Soul. p. 69. February 2001. Summary: This article provides suggestions to women, and in particular black women, from the Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) on reducing heart disease risk. Black women have roughly three times the rates of heart disease as other women. The tips include having strong self-esteem; learning anger management; getting spiritual; eating foods high in monounsaturated fats such as nuts; learning your personal risk profile; eating ethnic low-fat dishes such as tofu, vegetables, green tea, and grilled fish; learning not to overcommit; being physically active for a total of 30 minutes a day; not smoking or drinking to excess; and getting regular checkups.

Federally Funded Research on Anger Management The U.S. Government supports a variety of research studies relating to anger management. These studies are tracked by the Office of Extramural Research at the National Institutes of Health.2 CRISP (Computerized Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) is a searchable database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other institutions. Search the CRISP Web site at http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/crisp_query.generate_screen. You will have the option to perform targeted searches by various criteria, including geography, date, and topics related to anger management. For most of the studies, the agencies reporting into CRISP provide summaries or abstracts. As opposed to clinical trial research using patients, many federally funded studies use animals or simulated models to explore anger management. The following is typical of the type of information found when searching the CRISP database for anger management: ·

Anger Management

Timing: Fiscal Year 2002; Project Start 1-AUG-2002; Project End 1-AUG-2003 Summary: (provided by applicant) The overall purpose of the proposed research is to test the benefits and marketability of an inter-vehicular communication system designed to reduce the precursors to road rage including frustration, anger, negative attributions, and aggressive driving. The Road Rage Reducer (RRR) is a small communication device placed in the rear window of a vehicle that can signal "Please," "Thank you," or "I am sorry" when the driver presses a button. By introducing a target community to the courtesy code which can be flashed with one?s hazard lights, this project aims to: a) generate media attention for the prevalence and severity of road rage, b) evaluate whether people can remember a simple communication code for inter-vehicular communication, C) demonstrate how often and under what circumstances people will use their vehicle hazard lights vs. the RRR to deliver a courtesy message in everyday traffic, d) assess whether the RRR increases feelings of personal control, self-efficacy, and optimism while driving, and e) test whether delivering the courtesy code with the RRR vs. hazard lights decreases propensity for experiencing road rage. We expect those who use the courtesy code, especially with the RRR, to experience a) increased feelings of empowerment as measured by the Actively Caring survey, b) decreased propensity for road rage as measured by two innovative surveys designed to assess the antecedents to road rage, and c) more positive feelings about driving in general as assessed through telephone surveys and focus groups. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: Road rage is on the rise in the U.S. Thus, an intervention to reduce this problem is clearly needed. By providing drivers withy a means to communicate with other drivers they gain perceived control over their driving environment. This could reduce their own frustration and anger emotions as well as those of the message recipient. Website: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/Crisp_Query.Generate_Screen

The National Library of Medicine: PubMed One of the quickest and most comprehensive ways to find academic studies in both English and other languages is to use PubMed, maintained by the National Library of Medicine.3 The advantage of PubMed over previously mentioned sources is that it covers a greater number of domestic and foreign references. It is also free to use. If the publisher has a Web site that offers full text of its journals, PubMed will provide links to that site, as well as to sites offering other related data. User registration, a subscription fee, or some other type of fee may be required to access the full text of articles in some journals. To generate your own bibliography of studies dealing with anger management, simply go to the PubMed Web site at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed. Type “anger management” (or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” The following is the type of output you can expect from PubMed for “anger management” (hyperlinks lead to article summaries): ·

“I felt violated”: women's experience of childbirth-associated anger. Author(s): Mozingo JN, Davis MW, Thomas SP, Droppleman PG.

PubMed was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The PubMed database was developed in conjunction with publishers of biomedical literature as a search tool for accessing literature citations and linking to full-text journal articles at Web sites of participating publishers. Publishers that participate in PubMed supply NLM with their citations electronically prior to or at the time of publication.

CHAPTER 2. NUTRITION AND ANGER MANAGEMENT Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to find studies dedicated specifically to nutrition and anger management.

Finding Nutrition Studies on Anger Management The National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) offers a searchable bibliographic database called the IBIDS (International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements; National Institutes of Health, Building 31, Room 1B29, 31 Center Drive, MSC 2086, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-2086, Tel: 301-435-2920, Fax: 301-480-1845, E-mail: [email protected]). The IBIDS contains over 460,000 scientific citations and summaries about dietary supplements and nutrition as well as references to published international, scientific literature on dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and botanicals.4 As a service of the ODS, access to the IBIDS database is available free of charge at the following Web address: http://ods.od.nih.gov/databases/ibids.html. After entering the search area, you have three choices: (1) IBIDS Consumer Database, (2) Full IBIDS Database, or (3) Peer Reviewed Citations Only. Now that you have selected a database, click on the “Advanced” tab. An advanced search allows you to retrieve up to 100 fully explained references in a comprehensive format. Type “anger management” (or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” To narrow the search, you can also select the “Title” field.

4 Adapted from http://ods.od.nih.gov. IBIDS is produced by the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health to assist the public, healthcare providers, educators, and researchers in locating credible, scientific information on dietary supplements. IBIDS was developed and will be maintained through an interagency partnership with the Food and Nutrition Information Center of the National Agricultural Library, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

In addition to LOCATORPlus, in collaboration with authors and publishers, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is currently adapting biomedical books for the Web. The books may be accessed in two ways: (1) by searching directly using any search term or phrase (in the same way as the bibliographic database PubMed), or (2) by following the links to PubMed abstracts. Each PubMed abstract has a "Books" button that displays a facsimile of the abstract in which some phrases are hypertext links. These phrases are also found in the books available at NCBI. Click on hyperlinked results in the list of books in which the phrase is found. Currently, the majority of the links are between the books and PubMed. In the future, more links will be created between the books and other types of information, such as gene and protein sequences and macromolecular structures.

You will need to limit your search to book chapters and anger management using the “Detailed Search” option. Go to the following hyperlink: http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html. To find book chapters, use the drop boxes at the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the dates and language you prefer, and the format option “Book Chapter.” Type “anger management” (or synonyms) into the “For these words:” box. The following is a typical result when searching for book chapters on anger management: ·

Social Apraxia of Epilepsy Source: in Psychological Disturbances in Epilepsy. Sackellares, J.C. Berent, S. eds. Boston, MA, Butterworth-Heinemann, pp. 159-170, 1996. Contact: Butterworth-Heinemann, 313 Washington Street, Newton, MA 02158-1626. Summary: The Social Apraxia of Epilepsy, a chapter in Psychological Disturbances in Epilepsy, proposes a model of social apraxia to explain the interpersonal difficulties of people with epilepsy. The first part examines the definition of personality, symptoms of personality disorder, and the concept of epileptic personality, and provides a historical perspective on theories of epilepsy and personality. The second part uses the metaphor of social apraxia to explain the epileptic personality, describing it as an expression of attentional impairments. Social apraxia is associated with perceptual disturbances that result in misinterpretation of social cues, impaired affective modulation, difficulty prioritizing goals and drives, impaired capacity to construct and modify maps of the social environment, and clumsy execution and communication of intentions in a social arena. The model enables clinicians to examine the problems experienced by many people with epilepsy without the moral characterization which has shaped the debate over epileptic personality. It also can guide efforts to help patients with epileptic personalities improve their impaired adaptation to the demands of social life. These patients may benefit from such interventions as communication skills training, rehearsal of adaptive responses, anger management training, assertiveness training, role playing with peers, and pharmacologic treatment. The chapter includes a case study illustrating the effects of epilepsy on personality and the benefits of intervention.

Coors Wellness Process Source: in Biological Effects of Physical Activity. Williams, R.S. Wallace, A.G. eds. Champaign, IL, Human Kinetic Books, HKP Sport Science Monograph Series, Volume 2, pp. 157-168, 1989. Contact: Human Kinetics Books, P.O. Box 5076, Champaign, IL 61825-5076. (800) DIALHKP; (800) 334-3665 (in Illinois). Summary: Coors Wellness Process, a chapter in Biological Effects of Physical Activity, discusses the approach used at the Adolph Coors Company in Golden, Colorado, toward achieving wellness among the employees of that company. In the late 1960's, the company opened the Coors Medical Center to meet the needs of employees with on-thejob injuries and illnesses. In the 1970's, assistance programs began, followed by employee and family counseling services. Employees and dependents now receive occupational injury and mental health diagnostic and referral services free of charge. In 1981, the 25,000 square foot Coors Wellness Center opened at the main entrance of the

Books 71

brewery. The Wellness Process is divided into six different program areas or modules: health hazard appraisal and screening; smoking cessation, physical fitness, nutrition, stress management, and slimness. The Coors Health Hazard Appraisal was started in 1984 as an awareness and education program for employees and spouses living in the United States. The primary objective of the Wellness Plus Program was to offer a simple, broad-based health awareness program to encourage more employees to pursue healthier lifestyles. The Coors Wellness Center uses a medical screening questionnaire for every participant in the physical fitness module. Various screening tests include treadmill exercise tests, cholesterol and blood pressure screening, and an on-site breast cancer screening program. The nutrition education activities at Coors focus on practical issues that affect making healthy food choices. The stress management services consist of three programs: general stress management, a general relaxation program, and anger management. Smart Heart is a systematic effort at primary prevention of coronary disease, involving both risk identification and risk modification programs. Parenting modules also exist at Coors to enhance parenting skills and enable healthy family interactions. The LIFESTEPS: Weight Management program was selected by Coors because it emphasizes life-long changes in physical activity and eating habits to achieve correct weight control. Other programs conducted by Coors include a smoking cessation program, a prenatal awareness and education program, cardiac rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, and back pain management. Usage of the Coors Wellness Center has increased 37 percent from 1981 through 1987, with over 117,000 uses of the Center's programs in 1987. Studies of health insurance costs indicate reductions of 13 percent for regular users of the Coors wellness programs. On-site cardiac rehabilitation and mammography are cost-effective and psychosocially effective.

Coffee Break: Tutorials for Biologists15 Coffee Break is a general healthcare site that takes a scientific view of the news and covers recent breakthroughs in biology that may one day assist physicians in developing treatments. Here you will find a collection of short reports on recent biological discoveries. Each report incorporates interactive tutorials that demonstrate how bioinformatics tools are used as a part of the research process. Currently, all Coffee Breaks are written by NCBI Adapted from NLM: http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov/gw/Cmd?Overview.x. The NLM Gateway is currently being developed by the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications (LHNCBC) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). 12 Adapted from HSTAT: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/hstat.html. 13 The HSTAT URL is http://hstat.nlm.nih.gov/. 14 Other important documents in HSTAT include: the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference Reports and Technology Assessment Reports; the HIV/AIDS Treatment Information Service (ATIS) resource documents; the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (SAMHSA/CSAT) Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIP) and Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (SAMHSA/CSAP) Prevention Enhancement Protocols System (PEPS); the Public Health Service (PHS) Preventive Services Task Force's Guide to Clinical Preventive Services; the independent, nonfederal Task Force on Community Services’ Guide to Community Preventive Services; and the Health Technology Advisory Committee (HTAC) of the Minnesota Health Care Commission (MHCC) health technology evaluations. 15 Adapted from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/Archive/FAQ.html. 10 11

staff.16 Each report is about 400 words and is usually based on a discovery reported in one or more articles from recently published, peer-reviewed literature.17 This site has new articles every few weeks, so it can be considered an online magazine of sorts. It is intended for general background information. You can access the Coffee Break Web site at the following hyperlink: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/.

Other Commercial Databases In addition to resources maintained by official agencies, other databases exist that are commercial ventures addressing medical professionals. Here are some examples that may interest you: ·

CliniWeb International: Index and table of contents to selected clinical information on the Internet; see http://www.ohsu.edu/cliniweb/.

·

Medical World Search: Searches full text from thousands of selected medical sites on the Internet; see http://www.mwsearch.com/.

16 The figure that accompanies each article is frequently supplied by an expert external to NCBI, in which case the source of the figure is cited. The result is an interactive tutorial that tells a biological story. 17 After a brief introduction that sets the work described into a broader context, the report focuses on how a molecular understanding can provide explanations of observed biology and lead to therapies for diseases. Each vignette is accompanied by a figure and hypertext links that lead to a series of pages that interactively show how NCBI tools and resources are used in the research process.

APPENDIX B. PATIENT RESOURCES Overview Official agencies, as well as federally funded institutions supported by national grants, frequently publish a variety of guidelines written with the patient in mind. These are typically called “Fact Sheets” or “Guidelines.” They can take the form of a brochure, information kit, pamphlet, or flyer. Often they are only a few pages in length. Since new guidelines on anger management can appear at any moment and be published by a number of sources, the best approach to finding guidelines is to systematically scan the Internetbased services that post them.

Patient Guideline Sources The remainder of this chapter directs you to sources which either publish or can help you find additional guidelines on topics related to anger management. Due to space limitations, these sources are listed in a concise manner. Do not hesitate to consult the following sources by either using the Internet hyperlink provided, or, in cases where the contact information is provided, contacting the publisher or author directly.

The National Institutes of Health The NIH gateway to patients is located at http://health.nih.gov/. From this site, you can search across various sources and institutes, a number of which are summarized below.

Topic Pages: MEDLINEplus The National Library of Medicine has created a vast and patient-oriented healthcare information portal called MEDLINEplus. Within this Internet-based system are “health topic pages” which list links to available materials relevant to anger management. To access this system, log on to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics.html. From there you can either search using the alphabetical index or browse by broad topic areas. Recently, MEDLINEplus listed the following when searched for “anger management”:

You may also choose to use the search utility provided by MEDLINEplus at the following Web address: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/. Simply type a keyword into the search box and click “Search.” This utility is similar to the NIH search utility, with the exception that it only includes materials that are linked within the MEDLINEplus system (mostly patient-oriented information). It also has the disadvantage of generating unstructured results. We recommend, therefore, that you use this method only if you have a very targeted search. The Combined Health Information Database (CHID) CHID Online is a reference tool that maintains a database directory of thousands of journal articles and patient education guidelines on anger management. CHID offers summaries that describe the guidelines available, including contact information and pricing. CHID’s general Web site is http://chid.nih.gov/. To search this database, go to http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html. In particular, you can use the advanced search options to look up pamphlets, reports, brochures, and information kits.

The NIH Search Utility The NIH search utility allows you to search for documents on over 100 selected Web sites that comprise the NIH-WEB-SPACE. Each of these servers is “crawled” and indexed on an ongoing basis. Your search will produce a list of various documents, all of which will relate in some way to anger management. The drawbacks of this approach are that the information is not organized by theme and that the references are often a mix of information for professionals and patients. Nevertheless, a large number of the listed Web sites provide useful background information. We can only recommend this route, therefore, for relatively rare or specific disorders, or when using highly targeted searches. To use the NIH search utility, visit the following Web page: http://search.nih.gov/index.html.

Additional Web Sources

A number of Web sites are available to the public that often link to government sites. These can also point you in the direction of essential information. The following is a representative sample: ·

Emotions Anonymous Telephone: (651) 647-9712 Toll-free: Fax: (651) 647-1593 Email: [email protected] Web Site: http://www.EmotionsAnonymous.org Background: Emotions Anonymous (EA) is an international not-for-profit self-help group that follows a twelve step program (similar to Alcoholics Anonymous) for individuals seeking emotional health and wellness. EA sponsors support group meetings for the purpose of facilitating mutual help by the sharing of experiences, strength, and hope and working toward recovery from emotional difficulties. Individuals for whom EA has proved beneficial include those experiencing problems such as anger, depression, panic or anxiety, phobias, grief, broken or strained relationships, difficulty expressing emotions, low self-esteem, obsessive or compulsive behavior, worry, tension, and a variety of other emotional problems. Founded in 1971,

EA has grown to encompass approximately 1,300 chapters in 39 countries. EA is an anonymous program that protects the confidentiality of its members at all times.

Finding Associations There are several Internet directories that provide lists of medical associations with information on or resources relating to anger management. By consulting all of associations listed in this chapter, you will have nearly exhausted all sources for patient associations concerned with anger management.

The National Health Information Center (NHIC) The National Health Information Center (NHIC) offers a free referral service to help people find organizations that provide information about anger management. For more information, see the NHIC’s Web site at http://www.health.gov/NHIC/ or contact an information specialist by calling 1-800-336-4797.

Directory of Health Organizations The Directory of Health Organizations, provided by the National Library of Medicine Specialized Information Services, is a comprehensive source of information on associations. The Directory of Health Organizations database can be accessed via the Internet at http://www.sis.nlm.nih.gov/Dir/DirMain.html. It is composed of two parts: DIRLINE and Health Hotlines. The DIRLINE database comprises some 10,000 records of organizations, research centers, and government institutes and associations that primarily focus on health and biomedicine. To access DIRLINE directly, go to the following Web site: http://dirline.nlm.nih.gov/. Simply type in “anger management” (or a synonym), and you will receive information on all relevant organizations listed in the database. Health Hotlines directs you to toll-free numbers to over 300 organizations. You can access this database directly at http://www.sis.nlm.nih.gov/hotlines/. On this page, you are given the option to search by keyword or by browsing the subject list. When you have received your search results, click on the name of the organization for its description and contact information.

APPENDIX C. RESEARCHING MEDICATIONS Overview While a number of hard copy or CD-ROM resources are available for researching medications, a more flexible method is to use Internet-based databases. Broadly speaking, there are two sources of information on approved medications: public sources and private sources. We will emphasize free-to-use public sources.

U.S. Pharmacopeia Because of historical investments by various organizations and the emergence of the Internet, it has become rather simple to learn about the medications recommended for anger management. One such source is the United States Pharmacopeia. In 1820, eleven physicians met in Washington, D.C. to establish the first compendium of standard drugs for the United States. They called this compendium the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP). Today, the USP is a nonprofit organization consisting of 800 volunteer scientists, eleven elected officials, and 400 representatives of state associations and colleges of medicine and pharmacy. The USP is located in Rockville, Maryland, and its home page is located at http://www.usp.org/. The USP currently provides standards for over 3,700 medications. The resulting USP DIÒ Advice for the PatientÒ can be accessed through the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health. The database is partially derived from lists of federally approved medications in the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Drug Approvals database, located at http://www.fda.gov/cder/da/da.htm. While the FDA database is rather large and difficult to navigate, the Phamacopeia is both user-friendly and free to use. It covers more than 9,000 prescription and over-the-counter medications. To access this database, simply type the following hyperlink into your Web browser: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginformation.html. To view examples of a given medication (brand names, category, description, preparation, proper use, precautions, side effects, etc.), simply follow the hyperlinks indicated within the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Below, we have compiled a list of medications associated with anger management. If you would like more information on a particular medication, the provided hyperlinks will direct you to ample documentation (e.g. typical dosage, side effects, drug-interaction risks, etc.).

APPENDIX D. FINDING MEDICAL LIBRARIES Overview In this Appendix, we show you how to quickly find a medical library in your area.

Preparation Your local public library and medical libraries have interlibrary loan programs with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), one of the largest medical collections in the world. According to the NLM, most of the literature in the general and historical collections of the National Library of Medicine is available on interlibrary loan to any library. If you would like to access NLM medical literature, then visit a library in your area that can request the publications for you.18

Finding a Local Medical Library The quickest method to locate medical libraries is to use the Internet-based directory published by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). This network includes 4626 members and affiliates that provide many services to librarians, health professionals, and the public. To find a library in your area, simply visit http://nnlm.gov/members/adv.html or call 1-800-338-7657.

Medical Libraries in the U.S. and Canada In addition to the NN/LM, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) lists a number of libraries with reference facilities. The following is the NLM’s list and includes hyperlinks to each library’s Web site. These Web pages can provide information on hours of operation and other restrictions.

ANGER MANAGEMENT DICTIONARY The definitions below are derived from official public sources, including the National Institutes of Health [NIH] and the European Union [EU]. Abdominal: Having to do with the abdomen, which is the part of the body between the chest and the hips that contains the pancreas, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and other organs. [NIH] Acetylcholine: A neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine in vertebrates is the major transmitter at neuromuscular junctions, autonomic ganglia, parasympathetic effector junctions, a subset of sympathetic effector junctions, and at many sites in the central nervous system. It is generally not used as an administered drug because it is broken down very rapidly by cholinesterases, but it is useful in some ophthalmological applications.

Complement activation occurs by two different sequences, the classic and alternative pathways. The proteins of the classic pathway are termed 'components of complement' and are designated by the symbols C1 through C9. C1 is a calcium-dependent complex of three distinct proteins C1q, C1r and C1s. The proteins of the alternative pathway (collectively referred to as the properdin system) and complement regulatory proteins are known by semisystematic or trivial names. Fragments resulting from proteolytic cleavage of complement proteins are designated with lower-case letter suffixes, e.g., C3a. Inactivated fragments may be designated with the suffix 'i', e.g. C3bi. Activated components or complexes with biological activity are designated by a bar over the symbol e.g. C1 or C4b,2a. The classic pathway is activated by the binding of C1 to classic pathway activators, primarily antigen-antibody complexes containing IgM, IgG1, IgG3; C1q binds to a single IgM molecule or two adjacent IgG molecules. The alternative pathway can be activated by IgA immune complexes and also by nonimmunologic materials including bacterial endotoxins, microbial polysaccharides, and cell walls. Activation of the classic pathway triggers an enzymatic cascade involving C1, C4, C2 and C3; activation of the alternative pathway triggers a cascade involving C3 and factors B, D and P. Both result in the cleavage of C5 and the formation of the membrane attack complex. Complement activation also results in the formation of many biologically active complement fragments that act as anaphylatoxins, opsonins, or chemotactic factors.
