Here are 21 ideas on how to increase or improve medication adherence for patients, as presented by the respective speakers at the Butler University COPHS CE Symposium on July 25, 2013.
The Text4baby Program is a free mobile messaging service that provides pregnant women and new mothers with health information via text message. An evaluation of the program found that subscribers were more likely to search for prenatal care information online, have positive beliefs about smoking and alcohol, and consume more fruits and vegetables daily compared to non-subscribers. However, more rigorous randomized controlled trials are still needed to further evaluate the program's ability to change health behaviors and improve outcomes. Empirically-tested behavioral theory provides support for mHealth interventions like Text4baby, but new programs need to be grounded in theory and develop validated metrics to build an evidence base.
The document discusses several issues facing children today, including hunger, lack of health/dental care, abuse/neglect, and over-medication. It notes that an estimated 40% of US children are on medication to modify behavior, and some doctors have diagnosed over 10,000 toddlers with ADHD and treated them with amphetamine-based drugs not proven safe or effective for children that young. Further, drug industry promotion has encouraged a spike in ADHD diagnoses and prescriptions in the US.
Breast feeding is a key to sustainable development challengessapphire139
This document discusses challenges to breastfeeding and interventions to promote breastfeeding. Some key challenges include faulty assumptions about breastfeeding, breastfeeding difficulties, and issues for working mothers. The WHO/UNICEF Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative promotes breastfeeding within the first hour of birth and exclusive breastfeeding for six months. Other interventions discussed include workplace lactation support, peer counseling programs, and marketing campaigns that promote breastfeeding as normal. The goal is to provide support and education to help mothers overcome challenges and breastfeed successfully.
This document outlines various nursery policies including equal opportunities, no smoking, head lice treatment, child protection, medicine administration, healthy eating, early learning and childcare, health advice, positive behavior promotion, ICT use, supporting English as an additional language, parental involvement, nappy changing, outdoor play, children's participation, volunteering, recruitment, transitions, dealing with accidents and emergencies, complaints, additional support needs, and confidentiality.
How to improve a first-time moms breastfeeding experienceCristina Leos
The document discusses ways to improve breastfeeding experiences for first-time mothers. It notes that breastfeeding provides essential nutrients and benefits baby's health and development. However, new mothers can feel overwhelmed by information and prefer seeking it themselves. Mobile apps are useful for establishing breastfeeding habits but less so after routines are set. The most important factors in continuing breastfeeding are social support from professionals and other mothers, as this helps women problem-solve difficulties and decide to continue the practice.
The document discusses a study that found obese children may have higher rates of food allergies than non-obese children. Specifically, the study found the rate of food allergies was 59% higher for obese children. Common food allergies for obese children included milk, eggs, seafood and nuts. However, the results do not prove that obesity causes allergies, and more research is needed to investigate this potential link. While the relationship is still unclear, controlling obesity in young people may help lower rates of childhood allergies and asthma.
How we built a Disease Prevention platform long before the #Covid19 outbreakIvan Manurung
The document describes a mobile app called Berbagi Sehat (Sharing Health) created by Unilever Indonesia to help mothers keep their children healthy. The app provides a symptoms checker using information from medical experts, allows mothers to track their children's health records over time, and gives disease outbreak alerts by location to help mothers prepare. Illustrations and design aim to inform mothers in a positive way without scaring them. The app was successful in attracting thousands of mothers with high ratings and repeat usage, showing how sharing health benefits children and strengthens the brand.
The document summarizes a meeting between researchers from UC Berkeley and health and technology professionals to discuss using big data to address childhood obesity. Some key ideas discussed were:
1) Using big data from multiple sources like sales receipts, social media, and phone location data to understand influences on children's diets and health.
2) Making school health records and data more transparent and accessible to analyze trends and identify healthy habits to promote.
3) Collecting additional data on socioeconomic factors and food spending to help address the link between lower incomes and higher obesity rates.
4) The challenges of privacy but starting by collecting anonymous data on parents, schools, and communities to help identify policies and interventions.

It emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition, including eating three meals a day with fruits and vegetables, and maintaining a clean environment to prevent the spread of germs. Safety is also highlighted as critical, requiring precautions such as locking doors and windows, securing blind cords out of reach of children, and locking up medicines. The overall message is that early educators need to address nutrition, health, and safety to ensure children's well-being.
4 tips for parents on managing asthma inLondonallergy
Keep detailed records of asthma symptoms and attacks to help doctors create an effective treatment plan and identify triggers. Common triggers include smoking, furry pets, pollen, and grass. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment to ensure the treatment plan is adjusted appropriately. Proper management through trigger avoidance, medication when needed, and working closely with doctors can help control asthma and improve a child's quality of life.
The Case for Integrating Nutrition and Family Planning_Martin_5.3.12CORE Group

Flash Heat Method for Breastfeeding Moms with HIVJenny
One of the most difficult decisions for HIV-positive women is whether to breastfeed or use formula. Breastfeeding carries a risk of transmitting HIV to the baby, but formula risks malnutrition and disease in areas without clean water or refrigeration. For mothers in low-resource areas who meet certain criteria, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months or flash-heating expressed breast milk are recommended options that aim to balance the health risks.
Can a vaccine for diabetes protect your baby from this deadly disease? Is there really something like that? Is it safe? How much does it cost? Where can you get it? Lots of questions and confusion in your mind regarding the diabetes vaccine?
The document discusses strategies for conducting well-child visits in a more effective manner. It notes that simply having clinicians check off pre-selected discussion topics may not be the best use of limited visit time and may not meet families' needs. Alternative approaches discussed include using nurses and other providers for routine screening; providing handouts to cover anticipatory guidance; prioritizing interactive discussions of the most evidence-based topics; and using group well-child care models. The document also emphasizes structuring visits with the goal of promoting adult health outcomes by addressing social determinants of health like poverty, education, environment, and adverse childhood experiences.
The document discusses information therapy and the importance of empowering patients through education. It argues that patients should not leave all decisions up to doctors, but rather become informed partners through accessing reliable health information. The organization HELP provides various educational resources to patients and works with doctors, hospitals, and companies to promote information therapy and empowered patient decision making.
Eficacia manejo de tratamiento responsabilidad uso medicamentos - CICATSALUDCICAT SALUD
The document discusses several key issues regarding effective medication use in primary pediatric care. It notes that medication errors are more common in children than adults, often due to dosing issues as dosages need to be calculated based on weight. It provides recommendations to improve safety, including double checking dosages, communicating effectively, and ensuring proper identification of patients. The document also addresses medication use during breastfeeding, noting that most medications are safely transferred to infants in small amounts.
This document discusses marketing of breastmilk substitutes and outlines steps health workers can take to protect families. It summarizes the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes which calls on governments to regulate marketing that promotes artificial feeding. The document also outlines appropriate responses to donations of breastmilk substitutes in emergency situations, noting the importance of continued breastfeeding support and the risks of powdered infant formula use.
Lenore Gaudin discusses reproductive justice and the importance of nutrition during pregnancy. She summarizes a 1941 study that found improved birth outcomes, including lower rates of preterm birth and infant mortality, when expectant mothers received a superior nutritional diet. Gaudin argues that greater focus on prenatal nutrition education and minimizing medical interventions during birth could help address issues like high preterm birth rates and violence in society by supporting mother-infant bonding. Her goal is to promote understanding of human reproduction and treatment of expectant parents as a reproductive justice issue.
From Birth to Adolescence_ The Journey with Your Pediatrician.pptxAnkura Hospital
A new mother is faced with the dilemma of whether to take her child to visit a family doctor or the best pediatric doctor Bhubaneswar. Nonetheless, you have to give seeing a physician significant thought if you're worried about your child's health. Take a look at the benefits of seeing a doctor.

It is a universal truth that children must be given the appropriate vaccine at the appropriate age. Providing various vaccines at a given age saves kids from diseases that are life-threatening. Until and unless the kids are informed about the health hazards, they won’t realize the vaccine awareness they should be having.
This is a project a classmate and I assembled for a 5-week course at the University of North Texas in Denton. She completed the first half, which is the public health perspective and I (Deidre) completed the second half, which is the consumer health perspective.

While first-line treatments for mental health crises are typically medication and psychological therapies, lifestyle modifications can also be recommended when the patient has been stabilized enough to receive and retain information. Many of my adolescent patients suffer from anxiety and depression and have erratic sleep schedules as well as addictions to their cell phones and social media. These types of patients grew in numbers in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic where children were kept indoors and attended school online. Adolescents started going to sleep later and waking up later, feeling less and less motivated to do well in their studies. I’ve had to encourage numerous patients to modify their sleep habits, one being to reduce exposure to light prior to sleeping, especially blue light from their smartphones (Sarris & Firth, 2018).
Two strategies used in the simulation that I use are encouraging the patient to ask questions and using the teach-back method to ensure that the patient understood what was taught. There were times where a patient misunderstood and repeated the information I presented incorrectly. I was then able to clarify and correct any misunderstandings by re-wording what I said in simpler terms and had them teach back until they had a good grasp of what was taught.
One of the biggest challenges I face when trying to improve health literacy in adolescent patients is their lack of insight into their current situation. Many of my patients tend to blame their parents for their situation, and while that may be the case for a good number of them, they create an emotional barrier to learning any lifestyle modifications.

I personally Always involve the patients and their families in healthcare decisions. I work with hospice patients and their families; their pain management is a priority. Because I deal with dying patients, we use opioids to manage pain. Over the years, I have had patient families telling me that they will not give the morphine. It is my job to educate them that just because the patient is on hospice, they don’t start taking the morphine right away; if their pain is managed with Tylenol, then they stay on that until they may need something stronger . Strategies I use that were mentioned in the simulation are active listening, medication reconciliation, and teach back.

The document recommends that physicians emphasize key points, give concrete instructions, and allow feedback to improve patient understanding. It also suggests helping patients integrate new behaviors, providing compliance aids, and monitoring medication use to establish adherence. Motivational interviewing focuses on willingness, self-efficacy, and readiness to change and identifies stages of behavior change from precontemplation to maintenance.
As a health care administrator, Janet must address an issue with prescription requests for a drug resulting in overdoses. This highlights the importance of health literacy in ensuring communications and materials are accessible to target audiences. Strategies like using plain language, visual aids, and assessing comprehension can help tailor information to different health literacy levels and promote effective care. Understanding patients' cultural beliefs and assessing literacy is also crucial to address disparities and close gaps in navigating the healthcare system.

Exploring the Benefits of Binaural Hearing: Why Two Hearing Aids Are Better T...Ear Solutions (ESPL)
Binaural hearing using two hearing aids instead of one offers numerous advantages, including improved sound localization, enhanced sound quality, better speech understanding in noise, reduced listening effort, and greater overall satisfaction. By leveraging the brain’s natural ability to process sound from both ears, binaural hearing aids provide a more balanced, clear, and comfortable hearing experience. If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs. Embracing binaural hearing can lead to a richer, more engaging auditory experience and significantly improve your quality of life.

Gemma Wean- Nutritional solution for Artemiasmuskaan0008
GEMMA Wean is a high end larval co-feeding and weaning diet aimed at Artemia optimisation and is fortified with a high level of proteins and phospholipids. GEMMA Wean provides the early weaned juveniles with dedicated fish nutrition and is an ideal follow on from GEMMA Micro or Artemia.
GEMMA Wean has an optimised nutritional balance and physical quality so that it flows more freely and spreads readily on the water surface. The balance of phospholipid classes to- gether with the production technology based on a low temperature extrusion process improve the physical aspect of the pellets while still retaining the high phospholipid content.
GEMMA Wean is available in 0.1mm, 0.2mm and 0.3mm. There is also a 0.5mm micro-pellet, GEMMA Wean Diamond, which covers the early nursery stage from post-weaning to pre-growing.
