The xTax Factor's Presentation 2009
The document discusses how lifestyle choices impact health care costs and proposes tax changes. 84% of health care costs are related to lifestyle, with tobacco costing $3,400 per employee on average due to smoking breaks and sick days. Obesity costs $1,200 per employee. The document recommends a small tax increase on tobacco, fast food, MSG, and HFCS to influence health. It also suggests businesses receive tax deductions for investments that encourage domestic agriculture, materials production, energy efficiency, and healthcare promotion.

James Duah, MBChB, MPH, EMBA, Deputy Executive Director of the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) shares lessons learned and successes from CHAG's efforts to partner with the Ministry of Health, other faith groups, and community groups to deliver maternal and mental health services at the CCIH 2018 Annual Conference.
Public Health - Lloyd Michener
The integration of primary care and public health can help improve population health outcomes. Successful programs have strong partnerships between medical organizations, public health departments, and community groups. They focus on preventing health issues like obesity and asthma through community-wide efforts such as health education and improving housing conditions. Data is used to identify health priorities and measure the impact of interventions on outcomes like emergency room visits and costs. Government agencies are recognizing the importance of this approach through new payment models that support coordinated care.
Community health systems strengthening in Petit-Goave, Haiti_Sankar
This document outlines objectives and lessons learned from a community health systems strengthening project in Petit-Goave, Haiti.

Tobacco Prevention Progress Report
The document summarizes Chicago's efforts through its Healthy Chicago program to reduce tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke. It outlines strategies like implementing smoke-free policies in multi-unit housing, hospitals, mental health facilities, and college campuses. Media campaigns reached hundreds of millions of people. Screening programs in clinics and social services impacted over 100,000 clients. Youth anti-smoking programs engaged over 1,000 youth. Surveys found growing awareness of efforts and reductions in smoking rates and secondhand smoke exposure. Upcoming efforts include expanding smoke-free campus and park policies to achieve a tobacco-free generation.
Frontline Health Workers_Mary Beth Powers
Frontline health workers are the first point of contact for medical care for millions living beyond the reach of hospitals and clinics, including community health workers, midwives, local pharmacists, and some doctors and nurses. Investing in frontline health workers is the most cost-effective way to save lives, accelerate progress on global health threats, and advance US interests. The Frontline Health Workers Coalition is asking the US administration to develop a strategy to train, equip, and support new frontline health workers to address the global shortage and strengthen support for existing workers. They request help from influencers to advocate with policymakers and raise awareness on this important issue.

Consumer Participation
This document summarizes the history of consumer participation in the Victorian alcohol and other drug sector. It discusses the challenges faced in establishing consumer participation, such as lack of policy, funding, and knowledge. It outlines how organizations like the Association of Participating Service Users (APSU) and UnitingCare ReGen have worked to address these challenges through developing policies, training programs, advisory boards, and ensuring consumer participation is included in funding agreements. While progress has been made, ongoing cultural change is still needed to fully achieve effective consumer participation.
Danielle Campbell
The population of people aged 65 and over in England has increased by 1.4 million (17%) over the past 10 years. Roughly half of people aged 65 and over have some kind of care need, with about 2 million people needing help with daily tasks. However, only 370,000 people receive council funded home care, which is 19% of those with care needs. A study by Madano investigated the changing context of commissioning independent living services and found that responsibility is shifting to local authorities and clinical commissioning groups, though it is unclear who is responsible for what services. The study also looked at what users require from independent living services and found a preference for personalized care. Research is needed to understand demand, trends,
Team 9 US Health Care
The document discusses major problems facing the US health care system and reforms under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). It notes that prior to the ACA, nearly 50 million Americans were uninsured, costs were rising faster than other countries, and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid accounted for over half of all health care spending. The ACA aims to expand coverage, eliminate limits on plans, cover pre-existing conditions, and create health insurance marketplaces or exchanges. However, shortfalls remain like individuals and businesses still preferring lower costs. Recommendations include raising penalties in the individual mandate and making the exchanges function more like a real market.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Skin Diseases That Happen During Summer.
