Does anyone have access to Pubmed journals?

[Spagblog]

I have just signed into to our college website to look at an article and it appears that we don't have access to many!

Can anyone access the following article for me???

Young maternal age: a risk factor for childhood asthma?

Infante-Rivard C.

Department of Community Health, Hopital Sainte-Justine, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Some studies indicate that children born to younger mothers are at higher risk for wheezing or asthma. I conducted a case-control study that included 457 new cases of asthma in 3- and 4-year-old children and an equal number of controls. I found that, in comparison with children of mothers 30 years of age or older, children of mothers age 26-30 years had an adjusted odd ratio (OR) of 1.16 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.73-1.85] of developing asthma; children of mothers between 21 and 25 years of age had an OR of 1.25 (95% CI = 0.76-2.07), and those whose mothers were 20 years of age or younger had an OR of 3.48 (95% CI = 1.08-11.22).

That's the one. I am not allowed to view the whole article...Can you get it?

Tried to get it a number of ways - but failed!
BUT this is the author's email address: she's in Canada - worth a try?

Spagblog, it's not necessarily your college at fault- it's a 1995 paper, so it's pre-online version of the journal, so no-one can access it. I can get full text access for more recent articles, but only back to 1996. Most journals don't go back further than this unless they've had print versions scanned in, like the Lancet. It will have to be a print version from the library I'm afraid!

thanks, that sheds some light on things.
Do you think I should email her???

You could certainly try but I have to admit I don't have electronic versions of anything I published that long ago! She might possibly send you a reprint, but unless she's v. nice you'd probably be quicker getting it through ILL.

ILL??
