13-15). Individuals who come to women's or STD clinics may not be representative of the population, and may be more likely to manifest prevalence of the ailment or not to manifest prevalence because of more frequent testing.
Secondly, an additional variable is that of the region-specific nature of the screening. In some regions, federally funded Chlamydia screening supplements local- and state-funded screening programs. This may make the screening more comprehensive in nature in some areas of the country than others, as in some regions there may be additional funding from local and regional as well as federal sources. The different levels of regional scrutiny may also affect the tracking of the disease, as in some regions awareness about STDs is more highly promoted in schools and in the media than other regions, which can result in higher levels of traffic at STD clinics as well as theoretically greater levels of precautions on the part of citizens. This should act as a caution that the apparent predominance of diseases in certain areas of the country may reflect a willingness upon the part of states and local authorities to devote more resources to tracking STDs.
The fact that more women are likely to be diagnosed than men is another admitted problem with the collection of such data sources. The lower reported rate of Chlamydia infection among men does not necessarily mean that the levels accurately reflect the levels of disease in the population of these individuals. In fact, they may reflect lower rates of testing among this group and also lower rates of testing amongst men in general for a variety of communicable health problems. Both women and men with Chlamydia infection may be asymptomatic until the disease is in its more advanced stages, and early detection is important...

69). Petting a dog lowered blood pressure and respiratory rate -- even if the dog was somebody else's. Pet owners that have heart surgery recover faster and stand a better chance of full recovery. Touching a warm furry animal gives them relief. Moreover, pet ownership is a predictor of survival after hospitalization for any serious illness (Gunter & Furnham, 1999).
