1) Social assistance recipients in Ontario have significantly poorer health outcomes than both the working poor and non-poor across a wide range of health measures, even after controlling for other socioeconomic factors.
2) Both social assistance recipients and the working poor in Ontario are less likely to access preventative health care services and have higher rates of unmet health care needs than the non-poor, with cost and transportation being common barriers.
3) The report recommends expanding Ontario's poverty reduction strategy, increasing social assistance and minimum wage rates, improving access to health care including coverage of dental and vision services, and addressing other socioeconomic determinants of health.
Health Disparities Power Point FINAL
Health care disparities exist between different racial and ethnic groups in the United States. The WHO defines health disparities as differences in health outcomes that are closely linked to social and economic disadvantage. There can be up to a 33 year difference in life expectancy between racial groups. Disparities are driven by social determinants like education, income, and environment. Minority groups face greater barriers to accessing quality health care due to lack of insurance, language barriers, and provider biases. Addressing disparities requires improvements in data collection, the health workforce, and policies aimed at promoting equity.
Social Determinants of Health 101 by CIEN+
The document discusses the need to focus on social determinants of health rather than just clinical care. It notes that only 20% of health outcomes are driven by clinical care, while factors like social and economic conditions influence 40% of outcomes. It also provides examples of health inequities faced by various groups and outlines social determinants of health like income, education, living conditions, and discrimination in access to healthcare and social services.

There are many types of organizations that help shape community health. These include governmental agencies like the World Health Organization (WHO) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Nongovernmental organizations also play a role, such as voluntary health groups, professional associations, philanthropic foundations, and social/religious organizations. Together these different organizations work to promote health, fund research, provide education and services, and advocate for health issues.
Inequality In Health Care
1) The document discusses issues of inequality, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare that disproportionately impact women. It notes that as poverty rises, so does the population in need of reproductive healthcare assistance, while public support is decreasing.
2) Income inequality is linked to poorer health outcomes, as the gap between rich and poor grows, the well-off are less willing to pay taxes to fund public services. Job status also correlates with health, with lower levels reporting more stress.
3) Women face discrimination in healthcare costs and coverage. They may be denied insurance or charged higher premiums based on gender or experiences like domestic violence. Single and minority women have less access and higher rates of poverty and uninsured.
Community Health Assessment Presentation
The document provides a community health assessment of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. It finds that the county faces several health challenges, particularly in the city of Cleveland and inner ring suburbs, including high rates of poverty, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. It also identifies issues with access to healthcare, food security, and the physical environment. The assessment concludes that addressing the needs of Cleveland and inner suburbs should be a priority and that stakeholder groups need to collaboratively prioritize issues and allocate available resources from organizations throughout the county.
Chapt 1 introduction
The document defines a health care system and describes key aspects of the U.S. health care system, including that it is complex and unique among nations with a mix of private and public financing.

Chapters 4-6
The document discusses the role of government in the U.S. healthcare system across federal, state, and local levels. It notes that while the U.S. government is less involved than other countries, it still plays roles in regulating healthcare through over 130,000 pages of rules, financing care for groups like the poor and elderly through programs like Medicare and Medicaid, and providing some direct services. It also describes the activities of different government agencies and levels, and concludes that the lack of a national health plan has necessitated government involvement in both direct care and regulation.

Health care in Australia is delivered through both public and private systems. The public system is funded through taxes and Medicare provides universal healthcare access. Private health insurance can be purchased for services like hospitals and extras. Approximately 90% of health spending currently goes to treating illness rather than prevention. There is a push to increase funding for prevention to improve health and control costs as the population ages. New technologies have improved disease detection but also increase costs.
Chapter 5
This chapter discusses financing of the US healthcare system. It notes that healthcare spending has increased annually since 1960 and now accounts for nearly 18% of GDP. Funding comes from various sources including private insurance (34%), out-of-pocket payments (13%), and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid (49%). Medicare provides coverage for those over 65 and some disabled individuals, while Medicaid covers some poor populations. The money spent goes primarily towards personal healthcare services like hospital and physician care. Payment methods include fee-for-service, capitation, and value-based models. Despite high spending, over 50 million Americans still lack health insurance coverage.
Chapter 1
The document summarizes chapters 1-3 of an introduction to the healthcare industry textbook.

Richard J. Wolitski presented on advancing a sexual health framework for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States. He noted that over 30,000 new HIV infections occurred among MSM in 2009, showing that current efforts are not effective. A sexual health approach considers broader health issues, relationships, discrimination and stigma. It emphasizes wellness, prevention, and respectful relationships. Structural changes are needed to address homophobia and improve health care and education to reduce HIV transmission and promote sexual health for all.

The document discusses gender as a social determinant of health and the implications for Australian women's health policy. It notes that recent health policies have recognized gender as the main social determinant responsible for health inequities worldwide. However, it argues that there is a politics associated with gender as a social determinant that can both help and hinder advancing feminist health interests and projects. It maintains that enduring structural gender inequality and male dominance continue to impact women's health by limiting their access to resources and participation in decision making, and through embodied experiences of conditions arising from this inequality. For progress to be made, feminist health projects need to navigate the local politics surrounding gender as a social determinant of health.

Population Health Management 101
Population health management aims to prevent disease and promote health through organized community efforts, as defined by Charles-Edward A. Winslow. The US spends more on healthcare per capita than any other nation but covers only 34% of its population. Several health indicators, such as infant mortality rates, show the US performing worse than other developed nations. Implementing population health management could help address these issues through holistic population trend analysis, enhanced patient engagement, and more coordinated, cost-effective care. However, barriers to implementation include inefficient data sharing, a lack of health IT infrastructure, incomplete data, and challenges with change management.
Capstone power point
The document discusses stigmas that prevent African Americans from seeking mental healthcare. There is a stigma associated with mental illness, some rely too heavily on faith and religion, and a lack of health coverage. The Affordable Care Act is helping to close gaps in access to services by offering insurance coverage. Community programs also provide information on recognizing and treating mental health issues. A proposed intervention would address stigma, religious issues, and lack of insurance through informational sessions, individual counseling, and insurance advice to help motivate African Americans to seek treatment. Limitations include voluntary participation, but the program aims to change stigmas and create a more positive environment.

Equitable choices for Health
The document discusses how choice in healthcare could increase inequities if not designed to benefit disadvantaged groups. It advocates for an equitable, progressive vision of choice that could reduce inequalities and wider benefits. While the White Paper makes some progress on issues like increasing primary care resources and quality, more needs to be done to address barriers to choice among lower socioeconomic groups related to access, information, and professional attitudes. Choice must be implemented with equity and co-production in mind.
State of Philippine Health by Dr. Alberto Romualdez
The document summarizes equity in health and factors promoting health inequity in the Philippines. It finds that lower income and rural areas have significantly lower life expectancy, higher infant and maternal mortality rates compared to higher income and urban areas. Cost of medicines, distribution of human resources that favor private sector, and health care financing system that relies heavily on out-of-pocket payments contribute to this inequity. It recommends aiming for universal health care through increasing public spending on health and reforming human resource production and regulation of private sector.

Wendy Davis: Leveraging Public Health Capacity to Improve Health System Effic...
Many provisions of the ACA hold promise for public health agencies. The reorganization of the healthcare system in the wake of health reform also poses challenges for the public health system. This session will address how public health agency roles may change, opportunities to use public health agencies to lower health costs and improve health outcomes, and the integration of categorical funding streams to build a comprehensive public health system in a post-health reform world.
Current ethical issues in PH Final.pptx
Common ethical issues arise in public health activities related to surveillance, outbreak response, health promotion, and screening programs. Regarding surveillance and outbreak response, issues of privacy, confidentiality, and autonomy emerge when health information is collected and shared. For health promotion, ensuring voluntary participation while avoiding undue influence is important. Screening programs require informed consent, confidentiality to prevent stigma, and addressing potential harms of false results. These ethical issues could have severe consequences if not properly addressed, such as loss of trust and discrimination. Methods to prevent problems include strong legal protections, informed and voluntary participation, and minimizing risks of stigma or psychological harm.

For the Research Assignment, I have chosen to focus on an area of Healthcare that rarely gets the
attention it deserves.
Mental health.
I
chose this topic because I am personally effected by it and so are many millions of Americans. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of
death in our nation and one life is lost as a result of suicide, abuse or incarceration every 17mins in the United States. Mental illness has been my
area of focus throughout this program and the advocacy and participatory philosophy will be useful for the final project because it suggests that
“
that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political agenda” (Creswell, p.9). I do believe that mental health has a specific
agenda for a study and that there has been constant aim for reform in healthcare and mental health. This social issue is definitely pertinent right
now and topics that address it such as “empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, suppression, and alienation” (Creswell, p.9), and are
really the focus of the study. The goal of this project for me, is to provide a voice to participants and give them the ability address the concerns that
will lead to reform.
According to Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998) this philosophy offers four key features of the advocacy/participatory framework of inquiry:
1. Participatory actions are focused on bringing about change, and at the end of this type of study, researchers create an action agenda for change.
2. It is focused on freeing individuals from societal constraints, which is why the study begins with an important issue currently in society.
3. It aims to create a political debate so that change will occur.
4. Since advocacy/participatory researchers engage participants as active contributors to the research, it is a collaborative experience.
Research Problem Statement
My Vision is to Provide members of the community with the opportunities and education needed to prevent death due to suicide, acts of self-harm
and the traumatic impact of mental illness. By promoting resilience, the enhancement of community resources, conflict resolution and support for
individuals, families and the communities of those who suffer with mental disorders, illness or have a sudden mental health crisis. The target
population includes all individuals within Chatham County, with unmet mental health needs.
These individuals are currently not being served by
traditional methods due to financial, structural, and personal barriers including access and stigma. Untreated mental health
issues of these
individuals put them at risk for exacerbation of physical health problems, suicide attempts, premature moves to long-term care settings, and
psychiatric hospitalization, incarceration, residential alcohol/drug treatment or homelessness. The target population is all individuals within

Breast cancer :hormonal discordance.pptx
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
