The document discusses the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), which systematically assesses data on diseases, injuries, and risk factors to estimate their global burden. The original 1990 GBD study created a common metric (DALYs) to quantify health loss. A new 2005 GBD study aims to update 1990 estimates and produce 2005 estimates using improved methods and more data from over 800 experts. The study seeks to provide evidence-based evaluations of global health issues to inform research and policy.
Health education is a process that informs, motivates and helps people to adopt and maintain healthy practices and lifestyles, advocates environmental changes as needed to facilitate this goal and conducts professional training and research to the same end.
The document discusses different concepts of health over time. It begins by defining health according to the WHO as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It then outlines 4 evolving concepts: 1) the biomedical concept views health as absence of disease; 2) the ecological concept sees health as a dynamic equilibrium between humans and their environment; 3) the psychosocial concept recognizes social, psychological and cultural influences; and 4) the holistic concept synthesizes all factors and sees health as involving overall well-being influenced by many sectors of society.
Polio Eradication and Equity: The Case of India - Dr. Vivek SinghLauren Johnson
- India committed to eradicating polio by 2000 through intensive immunization strategies including supplementary immunization activities that vaccinated nearly 800 million children annually
- Reaching the hardest to reach and most disadvantaged populations like migrant groups proved challenging but was addressed through focused efforts like mapping migrant sites and vaccinating children in transit
- Intensified surveillance and immunization efforts helped reduce reported polio cases from over 5,000 annually in 1994-1995 to zero since 2011, allowing India to be certified polio-free in 2014 and demonstrating how equity can be advanced through public health programs.

This document provides a situation analysis and recommendations regarding antibiotic use and resistance in Tanzania. It finds that bacterial infections are a major cause of disease burden and many bacteria show high resistance rates to common antibiotics. Factors contributing to resistance include overuse and misuse of antibiotics in both human health and livestock. Current activities related to antibiotic resistance and use are limited. The document recommends strengthening surveillance of antibiotic resistance and use, improving regulatory frameworks, promoting optimal antibiotic use, and conducting further research. If no action is taken, antibiotic resistance threatens to undo progress made in controlling infections.
- Public health in India deals with promoting health and preventing disease in populations. It evolved from traditional Ayurvedic concepts to incorporate western approaches during British rule.
- Post-independence, committees like the Bhore Committee shaped public health programs, focusing on primary healthcare centers and vaccination campaigns.
- While health indicators have improved, challenges remain like doctor and nurse shortages versus population. The government aims to increase doctor ratios through education programs to support universal healthcare access.

Global health issues with focus on food safety in Southeast AsiaILRI
This document summarizes a presentation on global health issues with a focus on food safety in Southeast Asia. The following key points were discussed:
1) A WHO report estimated that foodborne diseases result in 33 million DALYs globally each year, a burden similar to HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. Diarrheal diseases cause over half of the burden.
2) Developing countries face a higher burden from infectious diseases like respiratory infections and diarrheal diseases. Emerging economies are seeing a shift toward noncommunicable diseases.
3) A study in Vietnam found Salmonella prevalence increasing along the pork value chain, with over 45% of final pork products contaminated. Cross-contamination in households was identified
This document discusses the history and evolution of public health in India. It describes how public health efforts began during colonial times focused on British civilians and the military, with little organized efforts for the Indian masses. After independence, the Bhore Committee recommended a comprehensive public health system with primary health centers, but its recommendations were only partially implemented. Over time, the public health system became hospital-based and medicalized, neglecting public health services and legislation. As a result, planning has not been well-tailored to population needs due to a lack of epidemiological data.
Community medicine deals with measuring the health needs of populations and planning services to meet those needs. It encompasses fields like public health, preventive medicine, and social medicine, with a shared goal of preventing disease and promoting health. Community medicine aims to study health and diseases within communities to identify issues, implement solutions, and evaluate effectiveness, with the ultimate goal of preventing disease, promoting health, and prolonging life. It incorporates areas like epidemiology, environmental health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases.
The document discusses the history and structure of international health organizations and the World Health Organization (WHO). It describes how early international health efforts focused on quarantine measures for diseases like plague and cholera. Over time, organizations were established to promote cooperation and standards between countries on international health issues, culminating in the formation of WHO in 1945. WHO aims to coordinate global health initiatives and works on priorities like disease prevention, health systems, and environmental health. It has six regional offices and is overseen by the World Health Assembly and Executive Board.

Health Promotion and health policy merged.pdfDuaaSaqriRamahi
This document discusses principles and actions related to health promotion. It provides background on population growth in the past 200 years and factors that contributed to declines in mortality, such as reduced infectious disease mortality due to improved sanitation and nutrition. Key conferences and frameworks for health promotion are summarized, including the Ottawa Charter which outlined five action areas for health promotion: developing healthy public policy, creating supportive environments, strengthening community action, developing personal skills, and reorienting health services. An example is given of how these different action areas could be applied to reduce smoking. Models of health and definitions of health by the WHO are also briefly discussed.
Health Promotion and health policy merged.pdfDuaaSaqriRamahi
This document discusses principles and actions of health promotion. It summarizes the McKeown thesis which argues that the major decline in mortality from infectious diseases in industrialized countries was primarily due to improvements in standards of living like better nutrition and sanitation, rather than medical treatment. It also discusses the Lalonde report which identified four determinants of health beyond just healthcare: human biology, environment, lifestyle, and healthcare organization. Major global conferences like Alma-Ata and Ottawa Charter emphasized health promotion and primary healthcare. The Ottawa Charter defined five action areas of health promotion: build healthy public policy, create supportive environments, strengthen community action, develop personal skills, and reorient health services.

Role of Public Relations in health care centresTriveni Waikhom
The document discusses the history and role of public relations in health care centers. It outlines how health was traditionally viewed through a spiritual lens and treated through rituals rather than scientifically. Modern medicine developed specialized fields and established various levels of health centers from primary clinics to district hospitals. Health communication aims to provide information, education, and motivation to influence behaviors. Different approaches include regulatory policies, basic health services, and emphasizing personal responsibility. Models also consider medical, motivational, and social factors. Public relations in health centers utilizes individual counseling as well as group discussions and mass media campaigns to promote health programs and national initiatives.
1) The document discusses American beliefs and values related to health, including viewing health care as an economic good subject to market forces rather than a publicly financed system.
2) Key determinants of health are discussed, including behaviors, environment, medical care, and social factors. Health is influenced by multiple levels from genetic to societal.
3) Public health aims to promote community health through disease prevention, health education, and policies addressing environmental and societal risks to health. It complements medicine's focus on treatment of individuals.
In Africa, the Humana People to People organization has even set up "soy restaurants" that are operated by committed volunteers who fight HIV/AIDS in their communities. By coupling a protein-rich meal of soy with educational programs, Humana believes that it can feed the body while it informs the mind about how to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. Soy restaurant customers pay a minimal amount for their meals, although meals are free fo

Incorporating student content at city- Diane Bell, City UniversityALISS
The document discusses various ways that City University London Library incorporates student input and content. It describes projects like Read for Research, which allows students to recommend books for the library to purchase. It also discusses using student feedback to help develop resources like a researcher library guide and employability workshops. The library has experimented with crowdsourcing ideas from students for collection development and service design. However, there are challenges to incorporating all student suggestions due to limits on time, money, and other resources.
The British Library conducted a survey of 600 readers in January/February 2015 to understand who uses the reading rooms and how. Key findings include:
1) Most readers were from higher education or conducting professional research. Over half were London-based.
2) Readers primarily used the reading rooms for academic works, research degrees, and personal interest. Printed books and journals remained the most used materials.
3) Dedicated reading rooms for specific disciplines remained important for many readers to have materials and support in one place. However, remote access to electronic resources was the most requested improvement.
4) Compared to 2009 data, certain activities like browsing shelves and using printed indexes were in decline, while use

Doing something different staff development and workplace learning at Cardiff...ALISS
This document discusses workplace learning initiatives at Cardiff University. It began in 2005 with a pilot job rotation program involving 3 staff pairs rotating roles for 6 weeks. This helped improve skills and relationships. It later expanded to include Do Something Different days, where staff spend a day in another department, and job shadowing. These initiatives aim to help staff learn new skills, build relationships across the university, and increase job satisfaction. They have been popular programs that the document suggests could continue expanding to involve more areas of the university.

3. Public health - a definition:
What is Public Health?
“The science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health
through the organised efforts of society” (Sir Donald Acheson, Independent Inquiry
Into Inequalities In Health, 1988)

4. What is global public health?
• Global public health is public health which transcends boundaries
• Today we live in a more global, interconnected world
• Developed world is taking a renewed interest into the health of global populations
http://www.flickr.com/photos/34097434@N04/3553861322
5. Who are public health professionals? What are their
information needs?
• Modern public health practice requires multidisciplinary teams of professionals,
drawn from a diverse variety of backgrounds, including physicians, nurses,
sociologists, engineers, health educators, community health workers, etc.
• Need for current and relevant information and also the need for global literature
• Public health literature comprises many varied sources, including, journal articles,
books, grey literature etc.
• Traditional biomedical databases such as MEDLINE only partially meet the needs
of public health researchers
6. Databases covering public health / global public available at
the British Library:
Database Coverage
MEDLINE Biomedical literature
Global Health Public health research
CAB Abstracts Agriculture, environment, human health
Informit Health Allied health and nursing
EMBASE Biomedicine and pharmacology
CINAHL Nursing and allied Health
PsycINFO Behavioural sciences and mental health
Web of Science Sciences, social sciences

11. How is Global Health different to MEDLINE?
Why not simply use MEDLINE?
• Content of MEDLINE dominated by North American and European literature
(GH is more global in its scope)
• MEDLINE only indexes journal articles and often only selectively indexes these
journals (GH indexes journals but also non-serial sources such as reports, conference
proceedings, book chapters, theses etc.)
• Subject matter – MEDLINE focuses on clinical and experimental medicine,
biomedical science etc. (GH also focuses on public health, nutrition, food safety, etc.)
• Searching MEDLINE alone is not enough for public health information –
need to search additional specialised databases to obtain
comprehensive results.

Springer eBooks:
•Access to over 5,000 titles from the biomedical & life sciences and medicine
collections
•eBooks include : Encyclopedia of Public Health, Encyclopedia of Aging and Public
Health, Public Health Policy and Ethics
17. In summary:
• Public health professionals need access to a wide range of sources and
also access to global information
• Interdisciplinary nature of public health field means that no one database
will cover all topics
• Extending range of inquiry outside of MEDLINE to other databases - such
as Global Health - will help obtain more comprehensive results
