The document discusses health disparities and their causes. It notes that health disparities negatively impact the groups facing disparities, overall health gains, and costs. Addressing disparities is important as populations become more diverse. Disparities are caused by various factors like sexism, racism, and socioeconomic status. Management of disparities involves enhancing women's involvement, improving quality of life, collaborating with communities, increasing diversity in leadership, and developing evidence-based services.

Chapter 11 health & society
Doctors have socially constructed power due to offering the universally valued service of health and longevity, and their profession being strictly regulated and requiring extensive training, limiting their numbers. What constitutes illness has changed over time and varies between cultures, being a social rather than purely biological construct. Technological advances in medicine have improved disease detection but also raise ethical issues regarding genetic testing and multiple or premature births.

Gender and health
The document discusses gender and health inequalities. It notes that gender is a social construct that influences health differences between men and women. Women tend to be sicker but men have higher mortality rates. Gender health inequalities are determined by biological, social, economic, and psychological factors. The document outlines some common diseases that affect women like dementia and depression as well as reproductive health issues. It also discusses initiatives to improve reproductive health and lists some common diseases among men.
Gender Differences in Health Care, Status, and Use: Spotlight on Men's Health
1) Men report worse access to health care than women. Fewer men have a regular doctor or place to go for care, see a clinician regularly, or have had a medical visit in the past two years. Low-income and uninsured men face even greater barriers.
2) Cost is a significant barrier to care for many men, with poorer and uninsured men much more likely to delay or go without needed care due to inability to pay. Non-financial barriers like transportation and time constraints also prevent many men from receiving care.
3) Men are less likely than women to receive some recommended preventive services like general checkups, blood pressure checks, and cholesterol screens. Improving preventive care for men could help
Gender and health ppt
This document discusses gender differences in health and discusses various health indicators in the Philippines. It notes that while women live about 5 years longer than men on average, they tend to be sicker. It also provides statistics on maternal mortality in the Philippines, noting the number of mothers who die during or shortly after childbirth has risen in recent years. The document also covers traditional and modern contraceptive methods and includes statistics on HIV cases in the country.
Social Determinants of Health
slide show presenting content from CDC Health Disparities and Inequalities Report— United States, 2011
Sociology of health and illness wk 18 gender shi (1)
Gender inequalities exist in health outcomes. Women generally live longer than men but have higher rates of illness. This complex picture is explained by biological, social, and structural factors. Biologically, male and female bodies differ but cannot fully explain changing gaps over time and place. Socially, gender roles shape health behaviors, work, care responsibilities, and medical experiences. Structurally, women often face disadvantage due to unequal power, resources, and the feminization of poverty.
Gender Equity & Health
The document discusses gender, health, and equity. It defines gender as social roles and interactions that produce power relations, while sex refers to biological differences. A bio-cultural approach recognizes that gender and sex interact, as social differences can have biological elements and vice versa. Systematic gender differences exist in areas like division of labor, education, medical access, and social liberties associated with resources. Measures of gender inequality in health include mortality, morbidity, healthcare access and quality, clinical research, and health outcomes. The document calls for addressing gender inequities in health through improving access to services, cultural sensitivity in programs, and political and economic equity.

This document discusses health issues for three age groups: adolescents and young adults (ages 15-24), adults (ages 25-64), and the elderly (ages 65 and over). For adolescents and young adults, risky health behaviors like unintentional injuries, violence, substance abuse and unsafe sex are major causes of mortality and morbidity. Community health strategies aim to address social and cultural influences on behaviors in this age group. Adults experience most chronic diseases associated with unhealthy lifestyles earlier in life. Community efforts focus on prevention, screening and management of conditions like cancer, heart disease and obesity.
(HEPE) Introduction To Health Disparities 1
Many youth leaders are compelled to do work with community based non-profit and local public health agencies as both a service learning and philanthropic component in their development as young professionals. However, despite invaluable experiential learning, students often don\'t comprehend key overarching issues such as health disparities, social determinants of health, health policy and community organizing. To address this gap and optimize their community based work, the Health Disparities Student Collaborative (HDSC), a Boston-based student group under Critical MASS for eliminating health disparities and the Center for Community Health Education Research and Service Inc. (CCHERS), developed a curriculum for students designed to broaden their perspectives while working with local public health, non-profit/community organizations and to develop their interest and ability to visualize the power of their collective voice as students and contributors to social justice work. The curriculum utilizes peer education and webinar software and covers three main topics: Current State of Health Disparities, Social Determinants of Health, and Youth Activism on Health Disparities/Social Determinants of Health. HDSC has collaborated with local partners CCHERS/Critical MASS and the Community Based Public Health Caucus (CBPHC) Youth Council to develop this comprehensive “Health Equality Peer Education” training.
Racial and LGBT Health Inequities
This document discusses health inequities faced by racial and LGBT populations. It defines health inequities as differences in health status or health determinants between groups that are systemic, avoidable and unfair. Racial inequities are pervasive in the US, negatively impacting Black populations' health outcomes. Louisiana also shows racial inequities in several health metrics for Blacks compared to Whites. The document then discusses health inequities faced by LGBT populations, including higher rates of HIV/AIDS, STDs, mental health issues and substance abuse. It attributes these inequities to stigma, discrimination, lack of data collection and lack of culturally competent healthcare for LGBT individuals.
PDHPE Core 1 pp
There are several national health priority areas in Australia that contribute significantly to the burden of illness, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, injury, mental health, diabetes, asthma, and arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions. These priority areas can be addressed by identifying their risk factors and determinants, and modifying behaviors to reduce the prevalence of related illnesses or conditions. The leading causes of death in Australia are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Risk factors for these diseases include tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, obesity, family history, and socioeconomic status.
Determinants of health_bondi_4-5[1]
This document discusses several determinants of health:
1. Heredity - Genetic factors passed down from parents can influence health outcomes like cancer risk, diabetes risk, and smoking risks.
2. Environment - The social and cultural surroundings a person lives in can impact their habits and health behaviors. Factors like parental smoking, parenting styles, and peer pressure can influence health.
3. Culture - Cultural norms around acceptable foods, eating customs, and social hierarchies impact health behaviors and choices within that culture.
The document provides brief summaries of research on how each determinant influences health outcomes.
Exploring concepts of gender and health
This document provides an overview of gender-based analysis (GBA) and its importance in health research, policy, and program development. It discusses how GBA examines the differential impacts of policies, programs, and legislation on women and men. The document outlines Health Canada's commitments to GBA, which are grounded in international agreements and domestic policies promoting gender equality. Health Canada applies GBA across key areas to support equitable health outcomes for all Canadians. The document also introduces several Health Canada initiatives that advance GBA, such as the Women's Health Strategy, Gender-based Analysis Policy, Women's Health Bureau, and Women's Health Contribution Program.
Health disparity final
The document discusses health disparities between African Americans and other races in Massachusetts, specifically looking at infant mortality rates. It finds that the infant mortality rate is significantly higher among African Americans compared to other races in both Massachusetts overall and the city of Worcester specifically. Some of the key factors identified as contributing to the higher rate among African Americans include lower rates of early prenatal care, higher rates of low birthweight babies and maternal complications, and social determinants like nutrition deficiencies and lack of social support. The Worcester Healthy Start Initiative program is highlighted as aiming to address some of these issues and reduce health disparities in the community.
Social Determinants of Health and Equity: The Impacts of Racism on Health
Social Determinants of Health and Equity: The Impacts of Racism on HealthVDH, Office of Minority Health and Public Health Policy
Presentation by Camara Jones, MD, MPH, PhD at the 2009 Virginia Health Equity Conference.
Dr. Jones presents the “Cliff Analogy” for understanding four levels of health intervention: medical care, secondary prevention, primary prevention, and addressing the social determinants of health. She described how health disparities arise on three levels (differences in quality of care, differences in access to care, and differences in underlying exposures and opportunities) and expand the “Cliff Analogy” to illustrate the relationship between addressing the social determinants of health and addressing the social determinants of equity, which is a fifth level of health intervention.
She identifies racism as one of the social determinants of equity and a fundamental cause of “racial”/ethnic health disparities in the United States, with racism defined as a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on the social interpretation of how one looks, which is what we call “race.” She described how racism impacts health on three levels (institutionalized, personally-mediated, and internalized) and animate understanding of these levels of racism with her “Gardener’s Tale” allegory.
Finally, using data from the “Reactions to Race” module on the 2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, she examined the relationship between responses to “How do other people usually classify you in this country?” and self-rated general health status to provide evidence of the impacts of racism on health. Dr. Jones challenges us to broaden the scope of our public health interventions by asking the question “How is racism operating here?” and then working to create a system in which ALL people are highly valued and ALL people are able to develop to their full potential.LA Wellness Center Project - Chris Daunis
The Louisiana Wellness Center Project aims to improve the holistic health and wellness of gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals through providing affordable healthcare services and connecting communities to resources, with the goals of decreasing HIV, STDs, and health disparities. The program defines health holistically and believes the health of individuals is linked to community health, so strengthening LGBT communities is vital to improving individual health.
Mens health seminar spring 2015
This document provides an overview of a Men's Health Seminar course to be held at Salem State University. The course will survey developmental, physiological, sexual and psychosocial aspects of men's health, including threats such as alcoholism, depression, and unrealistic body image. The 3-credit course meets twice a week and includes lectures, tests, pop quizzes, and student presentations. Topics will include male identity, gender roles, chronic disease, and media portrayals of men's health issues. Upon completing the course, students will be able to explain male development, identify cultural and biological factors influencing health, and discuss various threats to men's health and well-being.
Gender_Differences_in_Health_and_Wellbeing___Infographics_Summary
This document discusses gender differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare. It provides statistics that show men have higher suicide rates, preventable mortality rates, and CVD mortality rates than women. However, women attend their GP 66% more than men. The document also notes that achieving gender equity requires ensuring both men and women have their health needs appropriately met, as gender norms can impact people's health. The World Health Organization is quoted as stating gender equality in health means equal opportunities and potential for health across genders, and may require specific measures to overcome barriers.

Ankush Project report
This document is a literature review that examines how to engage men aged 18-40 in regular health services in Canada. It finds that Canadian men on average live 4 years less than women, with higher rates of preventable causes of death like cardiovascular disease and suicide. Men are also less likely than women to access primary health services. The research problem is that cultural norms portraying men as independent and stoic make it difficult to engage men in preventative health behaviors. The literature review aims to understand how to better promote men's health and increase their participation in basic health services. It reviews both qualitative and quantitative research on factors influencing men's health behaviors and utilization of health care.
Social determinants of coronary heart disease(CHD).
This document discusses the social determinants of coronary heart disease. It states that health is influenced by both social and physical environmental factors as well as individual factors like genetics. Lower socioeconomic status is associated with higher risk of coronary heart disease due to issues like poorer nutrition, less exercise, smoking, and lack of access to healthcare. Poverty can negatively impact multiple stages of disease from exposure to risk factors to ability to manage the disease. The document presents a logic model showing how social determinants like low socioeconomic status and related issues like obesity, smoking, and lack of social support can contribute to the development and outcomes of coronary heart disease.

Health Care101
This document summarizes key aspects of women's health, including leading causes of death and conditions that disproportionately affect women. It discusses health issues specific to women like reproductive health and cancers. It also explains how some common conditions like heart disease, lung cancer, and diabetes present differently and may be more severe for women. Ensuring women receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment requires addressing gaps in understanding these gender differences and improving access to women-centered healthcare.
Distress in Cancer Patients
Cancer is one of the most common diseases in the world. Stress is a common experience among cancer patients.
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (2017) defines cancer-related psychological distress as an:
“ unpleasant emotional experience of a Mental, Physical, Social, or Spiritual nature. It can affect the way you think, feel, or act. Distress may make it harder to cope with having cancer, its symptoms, or its treatment. ”
Human factors that cause ill health, accidents,
Here is a 3 paragraph response on heart diseases following the guidelines provided:
Heart diseases refer to conditions that affect the structure and function of the heart. Two major risk factors for heart diseases are smoking and lack of physical activity. Smoking damages the lining of arteries and increases the risk of blood clots. Lack of regular exercise fails to keep the heart and blood vessels healthy.
A lack of knowledge about heart diseases could influence young people's attitudes in negative ways. They may not see heart diseases as serious health issues that can affect young people. This could lead to risky behaviors like smoking, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyle. Not knowing the symptoms of a heart attack could delay seeking timely medical help. Young people may also feel
Social Inequalities in Health
This document summarizes key concepts related to social inequalities in health. It discusses health inequality versus health inequity, providing definitions and noting that inequity refers to differences that are unfair or unjust. Several theories are presented to explain the origins of health inequities, including artefact explanations, natural/social selection, materialist/structuralist explanations, and cultural/behavioral explanations. Evidence is also reviewed relating socioeconomic factors like income and education to differences in access to dental services and oral health outcomes.

The document discusses health equity and the factors that affect achieving it. Health equity means ensuring all people can lead healthy lives through equal access to opportunities. It can be achieved by treating everyone equally and eliminating avoidable health inequities and disparities. Social, economic, and environmental conditions impact health in several ways, such as through social inequities, institutional practices, neighborhood conditions, health behaviors, chronic diseases/injuries, and genetics. Access to quality healthcare is important but not sufficient on its own, as health is influenced by many social determinants.

Racial inequalities and discrimination
African Americans bear disproportionate burden in injury, disease morbidity, disability and mortality. This disadvantage is mostly related to age-related mortality. African Americans are significantly at risk for early death compared to the native community. The overall death rate of death among the African Americans in the US is equivalent to that of the natives thirty years ago (Dreyer, Brettle, & Roderick, 2020). The premature death is caused by various disorders such as obesity, cardiovascular heart disease, and hypertension. For example, the cases of death due to heart-related diseases is higher among the African Americans than any other race group in the United States. These health challenges occur in the context of increasing inequalities in the rate of disease infection.
Economic differences cannot explain the difference in health inequalities even when socioeconomic status is controlled. Differences in skin tone may be the basis of the discrimination in health status. The health disparities that negatively affect the African Americans arise from many sources including social inequalities, inherited health risks, and lifestyle patterns. Health disparities could also be caused by race-based discrimination. The concept of place or geographical location is important in explaining contribution of social injustice to health risks. Various studies shows that neighborhood is important in mediating access to social connections and opportunities, all which are factors that affect health status. When neighborhood is characterized by segregation, often linked to racial concentration, then African Americans have higher rates of mortality and morbidity. Residential segregation and discrimination that creates concentrated neighborhoods where residents are poor are social spaces with concentrated health-related problems. African Americans have higher exposure to stressful environments because of fewer resources.
African American, a poor racial minority has poorer health status. The poor community is less likely to have sufficient health and social services and this create a problem of timely access to medical services. Second, the community environment expose the African American to health hazards such as air pollution, dirt, and water contamination (Barsanti & Salmi, 2017). Moreover, concentration of social inequalities and poverty and it related characteristics such as substance abuse, anxiety, unemployment, and crime often creates social environment that lessen social connectedness. Researchers link the idea of biological responses that may be triggered by neighborhood stressors. There is correlation between residential segregation and social inequality. There are different factors that concentrate social stressors which trigger risks of heart disease, cognitive impairment, and chronic inflammation. African Americans who mostly live in unhealthy ...
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.
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.
Gender perspectives of reproductive health

Health, justice & racism
Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. Health equity means all people can attain their full health potential and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential due to social position or other socially determined circumstance. Health inequities are systemic and avoidable differences in health outcomes between different population groups that are unfair, unjust, and preventable. Social justice aims for equal access to societal resources and respect for human rights for all. Racism is a system that structures opportunity and assigns value based on perceived race, unfairly disadvantaging some groups while advantaging others and wasting human potential. Racism exists at the individual, institutional, and internalized levels

Advancing a Sexual Health FrameworkFor Gay, Bisexual and Other MSMIn the Unit...
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.

Equity vs equality
Equity focuses on fairness and justice by addressing avoidable inequalities in health between groups of people. It aims to narrow gaps by minimizing disparities. Equity is subjective and allows for flexible justifications, while equality is a measurable human right that requires legal obligations of non-discrimination and substantive equality. Equality ensures all people enjoy human rights equally regardless of differences. Health equity means equal opportunity to be healthy by equalizing health outcomes between advantaged and disadvantaged groups through fair distribution of resources. Gender equity in health requires equality in health status, access, financing, and participation.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。
