Over 500,000 children suffer from nocturnal enuresis or 'bedwetting'. It can be as distressing for the children as for their families. Despite being such a widespread problem, many professionals are at a loss to know how to manage it. What treatment options are available, and how can they advise or support their patients?This accessible book describes with clarity and sensitivity the possible approaches to assessment, treatment, monitoring and evaluation of care. The text follows a logical sequence and includes quotes and drawings by children, diagrams and useful test summaries. Emphasis throughout is on the child's perspective. For example, their views on different types of enuresis alarm treatment are recorded (a form of 'consumer' acceptability testing). The child's role in treatment has until recently been neglected, with only the clinician's and parents' views being seriously considered. Recent work has demonstrated that the child's contribution is essential in designing effective intervention.Although firmly rooted in clinical practice the text is guided by research findings and appropriate references are provided.

This book is intended for junior and senior undergraduate students, and master level students in human resources, risk management and insurance, industrial relations or public policy. The subject of the book is non-wage benefits paid to workers. Hence, it excludes discussion of needs-based programs such as welfare, food stamps, Supplementary Security Income, and Medicaid. It includes benefits mandated by the government including the major social insurance programs: workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and Social Security benefits. It also includes those benefits voluntarily provided by firms including: group medical care, disability benefits, paid sick time, pension benefits, life insurance, and assorted other fringe benefits. The book is divided into three parts. Part I (chapters 1 through 6) briefly introduces these programs and discusses some of the insurance and economic concepts that are useful in both evaluating the current programs, and in understanding what changes might mean for future costs and benefits. The next two parts of the book deal respectively with social insurance programs (Part II, chapters 7-10), and other employer provided benefits (Part III, chapters 11-16). Throughout, private sector human resource practice and public sector human resource policy is linked to various "ben~fit" models: the human capital model, the passive participant model, the insurance' model, the managed care model, and the integrated health benefits model.

Models drawn from the health literature include: ordinary least squares, two-stage least squares, probits, logits, Cox regressions, duration modeling, quantile regression and random forest regression. Causal inference techniques from the health literature are presented including randomization, matching and propensity score matching, differences-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, and fixed effects analysis. Codes for the respective statistical techniques presented are given for STATA, SAS and R"--
