The document discusses young people's health and the importance of meeting their needs as a discrete group. It outlines the following key points:
1) Adolescence involves significant physiological and emotional changes that services must be skilled in addressing, like building resilience to issues like risky behavior, substance abuse, and mental health.
2) Relationships with authority figures are less helpful during adolescence's "chaos" so supportive adult role models are needed.
3) Issues during adolescence have potential for great impact on adult lives, so ignoring or mishandling them sets youth up for difficulties.
Health and Wellbeing Boards should consider soft outcomes over just data and view preventative and developmental aspects as important

Poverty, Sexual Practices and Vulnerability of Female Sex Workers to HIV/AIDS...John Bako
The prevalence of HIV among Female who sell sex in Nigeria has witnessed a sharp decline between 2007 to 2014.
The decline was recorded both amidst BBFSWs (30.2% in 2007 to 19.4% in 2014) and NBFSWs (37.4% in 2007 to 8.6 in 2014)
This decline can be attributed to National programmatic response towards achieving universal access to HIV/AIDS preventions in Nigeria.

Cultural Competency in the Clinical Setting
by Robert F. Jex, RN, MHA, FACHE
Wednesday, January 20, 2009
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. (Mountain)
Robert Jex, RN, MHA, FACHE is a Trauma System Clinical Consultant within the Emergency Medical Services and Preparedness at the Utah Department of Health. He has been a practicing RN for 33 years with experience in ER, OR, Med/Surg/ICU, Nursery, Labor and Delivery, and home health care. He has a BS in Zoology, an MS in Reproductive Physiology and a Master of Health Administration. Mr. Jex is a licensed long term care administrator, a Fellow in the American College of Health Care Executives, and a certified trainer in Cultural Competency.
Research data from more than 50 countries confirm that there exist strong protective factors against health compromising behaviours in adolescents. This knowledge will help us to balance the traditional focus on risk factors and support the development of interventions that strengthen protective factors in adolescents themselves, in their relations with adults and their wider environment.
The document makes the case for concerted action on adolescent health, it explains CAH's "4S framework" to strengthen the response of the health sector to adolescents, CAH's systematic approach to scaling up health service provision to adolescents, and the rationale and objectives of CAH's work in focus countries.
It is intended for staff from other departments in WHO working on health issues of relevance to adolescents (e.g. reproductive health or mental health), staff in WHO's Regional and Country Offices, staff in other organizations supporting efforts or working themselves to improve the health of adolescents, and policy makers and programme managers in ministries of health.
The Members of the WHO/UNFPA/UNICEF Study Group on Programming for Adolescent Health emphasized the crucial need for the three agencies to provide complementary support to countries, by working within a common technical framework, in order to strengthen and expand the activities in countries aimed at promoting adolescent health in a more systematic fashion. The Common Agenda for Action encourages the three UN agencies with principal interest and experience in the area of adolescent health, to support activities in countries in complementary ways. The Common Agenda is intended to reflect the policies of the three agencies and serve as a basis for discussion at country level in the determination of their support of country-level programming. It also provides specific suggestions for collaborative activities to advance programming for adolescents at different levels.
This study is to focus attention on the extent to which the health care needs of
adolescents and young adults are being planned for and addressed as New York implements the Patient

Running head: Abuse of Older Adults
Elder abuse is a continuous or a single act that occurs in a relationship where trust is expected but causes distress to later life of a person. Elder mistreatment entails psychological, physical, sexual, exploitation, abandonment and emotional abuse. The effects of abuse of older adults include nutrition and hydration problems, persistent physical pain and soreness, wounds and injuries. I will evaluate the issues associated with abuse of older adults and describe the changes in social policy that impacted how human service professional support this population in this paper. Furthermore, I will consider the needs of older adults and describe the types of service plans that can be created for victims of elder adult's abuse. A proposal of human service programs for elderly adults that experience elder abuse will be made as well as a description of how human service agencies can prevent future abuse of older adult’s thus promoting self-empowerment.
Issues associated with elder abuse are health status, cognitive ability, and social network. These problems are the major risk factors for abuse of older adults. Cognitive capacity is the ability of an individual to process information and solves problems. Older adults experience decreased information processing and problems solving skills as a result of declining cognitive flex.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Thematic Discussion Paper
Young people and health
Introduction
The 1944 Education Act laid the basis for developing a broad range of educational
approaches including to meet the needs of children and young people. Since this time
there has been a range of legislative measures, Government documents as well as
academic research highlighting the need to ensure effective for young people’s health
and wellbeing through the often chaotic period of adolescence. Most recently the
Government has produced ‘Positive for Youth’: “the teenage years are a critical period of
growth and change. They are important for making significant life choices and decisions”.
Background
A new public health system is being established ‘Public Health England’. Each local
authority will employ a Director of Public Health to lead on the authority’s public health
responsibilities. Each authority will establish a Health and Wellbeing Board, a core aim of
which will be to join up commissioning across partnerships. Key to this will be the
development of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and the Joint Health and
Wellbeing Strategy. The strategy should provide the overarching framework within which
commissioning plans for the NHS, social care, public health and other services are
developed.
The Health and Wellbeing Board does not have any direct commissioning powers.
However GP Consortia will be required to have regard to both the JSNA and the strategy.
Local Authority funding for public health will be devolved through a non ring-fenced
grant. Commissioning will be expected to incentivise and reward the improvement in
health and wellbeing outcomes and tackling inequalities as well as to deliver best value.
The relationship between public health and children’s services will be critical. Local
authority arrangements will be expected to cover support for young people to prevent
unhealthy lifestyle choices such as risky sexual behaviour, smoking, drugs, alcohol and
lack of physical activity.
The Government is also proposing to develop a new Outcomes Framework for public
health alongside an NHS Outcomes Framework, this will cover a number of domains
including health protection and resilience, ill health, life expectancy and reducing
preventable mortality. Outcome indicators include: rate of hospital admissions for alcohol
related harm; under 18 conception rate; rate of hospital admissions as a result of self-
harm: and chlamydia diagnosis.
The Challenges
Meeting the needs of young people is a discrete area of work and must be seen in the
context of the physiological and emotional changes that young people experience during
puberty. Over the coming months the agenda of young people and health will become
incorporated into the new structures being set. Within new public sector arrangements it
is important to maintain the emphasis on the needs of adolescents and not allow this to
become subsumed into the aggregated needs of children and young people. Also,
following the principles of ‘Positive for Youth’ to confirm the need for young to have a
say in their health services and in health reforms.
The new public health system must encompass the need for services for young people
and the Children & Young People’s Health Outcomes Forum’s recommendation that
”all clinical commissioning groups and local authority commissioners of public health
services, commission services in a way that ensures that teenagers are managed in
age-appropriate services”.

2. Case for young people and health
The overwhelming evidence points to the importance of supporting young people’s needs
as a discrete group to best support young people and provide a safe and healthy
progression into adulthood. There are some counter arguments, where differentiation by
age seen as unhelpful. However, for young people there are associated issues of
physiological and emotional change during puberty; anytime when things go wrong
during adolescence for example, risky sexual behaviour, substance misuse and mental
health, outcomes can be devastating. The support must be to them as a ‘young person’
and their personal and social development not at a series of single issues. There are
three key points that support age differentiation of the needs of young people:
a) Firstly, the physiological and emotional changes that occur during adolescence
produce key health indicators that need to be carefully addressed by those skilled in
working with adolescents, particularly when relating to health needs. The Health
Outcomes Forum recommends “coherently addressing the different stages in life and
not tackling individual risk factors in isolation”. This means building personal
resilience to deal with these issues. It is crucial that informal learning needed during
adolescence is not replaced by crisis management.
b) Secondly, relationships with adults in positions of authority are not the most helpful
in steering a way through the ‘chaos’. In ‘Positive for Youth’ young people have
commented on the poor quality of PSHE at school, there is a weight of evidence
supporting the breakdown in relationships with parents/cares during adolescence and
many examples of young people wanting to exert their newfound status as an ‘adult’
through extreme political and social views, involvement in crime and behaviour
setting them ape art form their local community. It is important that young people
find supportive and appropriate adult role models outside the home, the school or
social care that demonstrate mutual respect.
c) Thirdly, issues for young people’s health have the potential to cause the most impact
in adult lives. If we ignore these issues for young people during adolescence or deal
with them in the wrong way we set up a generation of young people who are less
able or less resilient to cope with their adult lives. Issues such as sexual identity,
homophobic and sexual violence, mental health, self-harm, teenage conception and
substance misuse can also be linked to an inability to get and keep employment and
involvement in crime.
Conclusion
There is a large and growing body of evidence to support work with young people simply
because they are ‘young people’ and health is one of the key areas within the
curriculum. Within each local authority there should be clear links between public health
and young people’s health and wellbeing. Health and Wellbeing Boards should consider
soft outcomes for young people rather than concentrating solely on hard data. The Early
Intervention model is effective when local authorities clearly see the preventative and
developmental aspects for young people. Those working with young people should seek
to highlight the need for personal and social development that can have “longer- term
impact than those that focus on directly seeking to reduce the ‘symptoms’ of poor
outcomes for young people”. (A framework of outcomes for young people: Catalyst
Consortium/Young Foundation 2012)
Questions:
Do young people’s services engage with health reforms in your authority?
If yes, how can young people influence the commissioning of services?
If no, how can we best ensure that there is a specific focus on young people and
their personal and social development within the health service and its reforms?
