Discussion Week II: Heath Promotion across Prevention Levels
Primary level
At the primary level, the program’s title would be “Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Percentage of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Cases Attributable to Overweight and Obesity”. The program’s target population is pregnant woman, Asian, black, American Indian and Hispanic. The goal, although non-Hispanic black and American Indian women may benefit the most from pre-pregnancy reduction in obesity, interventions other than obesity prevention may be needed for women from other racial/ethnic groups.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined as carbohydrate intolerance leading hyperglycemia fist recognized during pregnancy, is associated with increased risk for pregnancy and delivery complications, including cesarean section, infant macrosomia, and neonatal hypoglycemia. The estimates of the prevalence of GDM among pregnant women in the United States range from 3% to 7%. Most women in who, GDM is diagnosed do not continue to have hyperglycemia after delivery.
In the United States, similar to racial/ethnic differences in type 2 diabetes, the risk of developing GDM is highest among Asian (particularly South Asian), black, AmericanIndian, and Hispanic women and these differences do not appear to be fullyexplained by differences in pre-pregnancy body mass index. Florida is the fourth most populous US state and has high racial/ethnic diversity, making it a good source of data for studying racial/ethnic variations in the contribution of BMI status to GDM risk.
Grand funding for this program at the primary level is essential. Not only can it save one life but two. It will help target this population of woman and help prevent them to getting to this stage in their pregnancy. It will help develop good programs and have well educated individuals educate them in every aspect to help them prevent GDM.
Secondary level
At the secondary level of prevention, the program’s title would be “Breast self-examination. The program target 20-60 years of age. Secondary prevention are those preventive measures that lead to early diagnosis and prompt treatment of a disease, illness or injury to prevent more severe problems developing. Here health educators such as Health Extension Practitioners can help individuals acquire the skills of detecting diseases in their early stages.
As a heath care worker, I have been in the field for over ten 10 years and have seen so many different cases and situations. The recommended age to get a mammogram is 45 years old or older. I honestly have been getting mammograms since I was 15 or 16. The reason being is because I fibrocystic breast. Fibrocystic breast is a noncancerous change that gives breast a lumpy or ropelike texture.

As an African American male, social issues are some that seem to.docxssusera34210
As an African American male, social issues are some that seem to be a part of our everyday life at the time of birth. Whether it’s our skin being threatening towards other groups of society, police brutality, not receiving the same education, jobs, or housing as those of other cultures; it’s something that burned into our part of growing up and learning how to maneuver the world around us. Being that this is something that is thrown in our face time and time again, I would like to talk about the trust or lack thereof, between “professional helpers” and African American males. You must first stop and take a look at the deep roots of past and current events that lead to African Americans not trusting the help that’s provided by doctors, lawyers, therapists, etc. For example, historical adversity, which includes slavery, sharecropping, and race-based exclusion from health, educational, social, and economic resources, translates into socioeconomic disparities experienced by Black and African American people today. Socioeconomic status, in turn, is linked to mental health: People who are impoverished, homeless, incarcerated, or have substance use problems are at higher risk for poor mental health.
Despite progress made over the years, racism continues to have an impact on the mental health of Black and African American people. Negative stereotypes and attitudes of rejection have decreased, but continue to occur with measurable, adverse consequences. Historical and contemporary instances of negative treatment have led to a mistrust of authorities, many of whom are not seen as having the best interests of Black and African Americans in mind. The culture from which many African Americans are raised, has a greater distrust of the medical helpers and medical offices alike, from the belief of racial bias. A great example is that of the Tuskegee experiment, where the abuses of slaves by white doctors, simply for the use of medical experimentation. There was no sense of consent or refusal from the African American participants to participate, just because of their lower level in society and the mass discrimination during that time. It’s those issues of the past, that resist black males from seeking the help they truly need, in order to bring them back to the feeling of self and self-worth; and to add a more recent impact, just look at the COVID vaccine, many are skeptical of receiving it, just because of what happens at Tuskegee.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

“Sankofa” is an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana. The literal translation of the
word and the symbol is “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.” Teaches us
that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward. That is, we should reach back
and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential
as we move forward. Whatever we have lost, forgotten, forgone, or been stripped of can be
reclaimed, revived, preserved, and perpetuated.

Counseling Suggestions and Tips

African-Americans 13
Recognize the importance of spirituality in the
African-American community. The Black church
often functions as a religious, social, and political
hub fostering community. Support systems
within the church often help to contribute to
resilience of African-Americans
Understand the importance of family and
extended family within the Africa-American
community. Kinship bonds critical in offering
support to individuals. It Takes a Village.
Cultural Sensitivity. One of the most important
counselor characteristics for African-Americans
is cultural sensitivity. Counselors who
acknowledge the possibility that race or culture
might play a role in a client’s problems are seen
as more competent than cultural- blind
counselors.

Counseling Suggestions and Tips
Counseling
African-Americans 14
The African-American/Black Community is a
Disapora with multiple cultures. Not all
members of the community have beginnings in
the U.S. Many of the members in this community
are from Africa, the Caribbean, Brazil, Canada,
etc. Respect sub-cultural differences. There is
great diversity
African-American identity will vary among
individual members. Some are pre-encounter
level and are less likely to discuss racial
identification while others are at later stages
such as immersion and internalization and will
discuss discrimination and importance of racial
and cultural pride
Overall , the entire community has a deep sense
of pride and positive racial, cultural and ethnic
identity
15. African-American
Counseling Suggestions and Tips
Counseling
African-Americans 15
Being Culturally Competent is an important
factor for African-American clients regardless of
the race of the counselor
Establish an Egalitarian Relationship with the
client. Many African-Americans are comfortable
establishing a close personal connection with
the counselor. Self—disclosing and discussing
some non-counseling topics may be helpful.
African-American clients respect authenticity and
genuineness in their therapist
Overall , the entire community has a deep sense
of pride and positive ethnic identity
Work with the client to determine interventions.
Collaborate. Don’t be afraid to incorporate
alternative treatment approaches in they will be
beneficial
