This study explored knowledge of the Affordable Care Act's 2014 Medicaid expansion among newly eligible childless adults. The researchers surveyed 40 individuals accessing services at a food bank in Cincinnati, Ohio. Key findings include: 65% of subjects were aware of the Medicaid expansion, and higher percentages of uninsured subjects had heard of the Health Insurance Marketplace and Medicaid expansion. Younger subjects aged 18-26 were less likely to plan to enroll in Medicaid compared to older groups. The results suggest higher awareness of coverage options among the uninsured compared to previous studies.

"I am here today to talk about a digital photo essay - How can we get life-saving interventions to women and babies?
I will be looking to the issue of photography as a research tool
So what is a photo essay? A photo-essay is a set or series of photographs that are made to tell the story of events of create a series of emotions in the viewer. Photo essays can often demonstrate behaviours or show deep emotional stages.
The images that make up this photo essay relates to maternal and newborn health and traces the story of women in Ethiopia as they go into labour and the care that is received in the first hours and days of a newborns life.
We put them together using the Shorthand Social which allows you create visually engaging storytelling microsites for free.
For the next few minutes, I will let the photographs that we used to do the talking….
So now that we have followed these mothers and newborns on their journeys, I will explain how this research came about, and I will cover the following topics:

Utilizing Mobile Technologies to Reach Young People with Sexual and Reproduct...YTH
There are currently 1.8 billion young people between the age of 10 and 24, and the youth population is growing fastest in developing countries. The majority of these young people are faced with a myriad of challenges, including weak health systems with limited access to sexual and reproductive health resources. Hear from Pathfinder International, a global health organization, on how mobile technology can be used to effectively reach these individuals with important sexual and reproductive health information and services. Pathfinder has experience using mobile technology to support health programs in eight countries, including SMS projects in Ethiopia and Mozambique that are designed to support youth with timely, accurate, and impartial sexual and reproductive health information.
Given the ubiquity and speed of text messaging, texting may be the most effective way to deliver important health information to Native teens and young adults, but does it really change behavior? The team designed a series of theory-based text messages to promote condom use and testing for sexually transmitted infections, and then carried out formative research activities with 60 American Indian and Alaska Native youth to refine the implementation plan and tailor the intervention messages to the needs and concerns of Native teens. To evaluate the impact of the behavioral intervention, delivered entirely via text message (including participant recruitment, consent, intervention messaging, and pre-post surveys) 408 youth from across Indian Country were successfully enrolled. Results showed positive changes in attitudes and behaviors towards condom use, and intention and behavior toward STI testing. More than 40% of those who had not been tested recently, got tested.

ABSTRACT- Background: Women of all races and ethnicities are at risk of cervical cancer. India, around 0.95 million new cases are detected yearly with high burden of 0.63 million. India bears about one fifth of the world’s burden of cervical cancer. Although fatality is high but cancers are largely preventable by effective screening programmes. Design: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted among female students studying in degree colleges from Feb. 2013 to Sept. 2013. Intervention: Educational intervention was conducted through sessions of participatory learning approach which included lectures using power-point, chalk and talk and question-answers method. Data was collected twice by administering predesigned questionnaire and conducting focus group discussion. Data Analysis: Data entered and analyzed using Epi Info 2000. To analyze qualitative information Atlas ti software was used. Paired t-test was used to measure the effect of intervention. Results: Total 149 students were the part of the study and successfully followed. Mean age of the participant was 18.5 years. Out of the 149 participants 4.1% had family history of the cancer. In the study it was observed that 18.8% had not ever heard about the cancer. In the post intervention test significant improvement was seen in all three parameters viz knowledge, attitude and practices. Conclusion: Continuing Educational interventions should be started at all level which highlights the importance of screening and prevention of cancer in women. Key-words- Cervical Cancer, Women, Perception Barriers, Effectiveness
As proposed by the Declarations of the Alma Ata and challenged by the Millennium
Development Goals, action by players and stakeholders of diverse specialties and
backgrounds is required to achieve health for all. This assembled expert panel
drawn from different backgrounds will enrich the discussion with their own experiences.

This paper presentation summarizes finding from the literature for my final paper in HLTHCOMM 410: The U.S. Healthcare System during Fall 2017. The presentation focuses on how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid expansion impacted access, quality, and cost of care, as well as population health, for the newly eligible group of non-elderly adults.
How do patients learn and seek healthcare information? What influence does technology have on patient healthcare communication? Our Patient Healthcare Communications report explores the answers to these questions and more.
Krames Patient Education is the only choice for enterprise-wide patient education. In this presentation, practices will learn who Krames Patient Education is and What we can do for you.

Major global survey asks people about their attitudes toward science
A new Wellcome Trust survey asked more than 140,000 people across 140 countries about their attitudes towards science and health, and found that nearly 75% of people say they trust a doctor or a nurse more than friends, family, or other sources of health advice. Here’s more:
•Vaccines: Some 80% of people worldwide agree that vaccines are safe. One in three people in France — the highest percentage anywhere in the world — disagree that vaccines are safe.
•Understanding of science: Men are more likely to claim an understanding than women, as are those aged 29 and younger. Almost two-thirds of people around the world expressed an interest in learning more science.
•Science and society: About a third of people in Africa and Central and South America don’t feel like they benefit from science.
This presentation brings awareness to transgender health care disparities and examines how practicing cultural competency can improve patient-physician relationships.

Opportunities?Opportunities?

INTRODUCTION
• Researchers have found that those most likely to be
uninsured are young adults, a pattern that has
persisted and even increased over the past decade
(Ammerman et. al., 2004).
• 4.3 million adults are currently eligible for Medicaid,
but are not enrolled (DiPietro & Klingenmaier, 2013).
RESEARCH METHODS
• Quantitative, Exploratory Study
• Type of Study: Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study, & An
Action Research Component
•Instrument: Self-Design Questionnaire
RESULTS
IMPLICATIONS FOR SOCIAL WORK
• Homeless young adults are a high risk and vulnerable
population with health care needs.
• Obtaining health care coverage through the ACA can
improve the quality of life for young single adults.
SAMPLE
• Consumers of services in the Customer Connection
Center, Rapid Re-Housing and Permanent Supportive
Housing programs at the Freestore Foodbank in
Cincinnati, Ohio
• N=40
• 18-64 years old
• Male (n=16) and Female (n=24)
• 27.5% (n=11) Caucasian
• 72.5% (n=29) African American
• Not married
• No children / non-custodial parent
DISCUSSION
• Previous research discovered that uninsured young
adults lacked awareness of the Health Insurance
Marketplaces, "Only 27% of 19-to-29-year-olds were
aware of the marketplaces, with awareness lowest
among those uninsured for some time during the year
(19%)" (Collins et. al., 2013, p.5). The study found
results to be different than past research; 78.9% of
those that have heard of HIM are uninsured, and
77.5% of those that have heard of ME are uninsured.
• Those who are uninsured are found to be more aware
of health coverage options. The research also pointed
out that a large amount of those unaware of HIM were
young adults, a focus in this study. In this study, 25.8%
of individuals 18-26, 25.8% of individuals 27-34, and
48.4% of individuals 35-57 plan to enroll in Medicaid.
Based off of the results of the research, those that are
least likely to enroll are young and middle aged adults.
• Research conducted in 2013 discovered that those
least aware of exchange programs were those that are
uninsured. This study has discovered opposing
results, 78.9% of those uninsured have heard of
exchange programs.
• Further research needs to be done to discover why
awareness of exchange programs for those that are
uninsured has drastically changed from 2013 to 2014.
