Studies of parenting find that low family income and maternal hardship hamper children’s cognitive and social competence. 14 Moreover, parents in poor living environments have difficulty nurturing and protecting their children, increasing the likelihood that children will gravitate into activities and peer associations leading to school dropout, premature sexual experience, use of drugs, and other deviant behavior. 15 Family deprivations also increase the probability of abuse and neglect of children, who then seek to escape the household early, associate with inappropriate peers, form tenuous sexual partnerships, have early pregnancies, and often replicate the pattern of inadequate parenting they experienced as children. 16
Recommendation
Payments to health plans and providers should promote quality health care and improved health and functional status for all patients, including vulnerable populations. Adjusting payments for differences in health or functional status is especially important for Medicare, Medicaid, and other payers that have significant ...
Scoping and setting evidence priorities for public health decision making: wa...cmaverga
This document discusses ways to improve the Cochrane Collaboration's evidence to better inform public health decision making. It suggests prioritizing reviews on important topics like obesity prevention, healthy cities projects, and gender disparities in nutrition. Conducting a stakeholder engagement process identified 26 priority reviews in topics like community interventions, physical activity and mental health, and marketing strategies for healthy eating. Completing these reviews could increase awareness of Cochrane's evidence and better align with decision makers' needs to improve population health outcomes.
1. Oral health education provided by dental professionals has faced criticism for being expert-led, prescriptive, and failing to acknowledge social factors influencing behavior change.
2. Reviews found little evidence that oral health education alone reduces cavities unless combined with fluoride, and that increases in patient knowledge did not necessarily translate to behavior changes.
3. Studies showed dental professionals provided inconsistent advice to patients and were more likely to advise middle-class patients perceived as more motivated, using a didactic teaching approach.

This document outlines India's Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK) or National Adolescent Health Programme. The program was developed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in collaboration with UNFPA to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to adolescent health across India. It aims to improve nutrition, sexual and reproductive health, mental health, prevent injuries and violence, address substance abuse, and screen for non-communicable diseases among 10-19 year olds. The program focuses on peer education, helplines, training, parental involvement, and participatory monitoring to achieve its objectives.
The document discusses barriers to effective health education for patients. It identifies several key barriers: health literacy issues where patients may not understand medical terminology or health information; language and cultural barriers where patients' primary language or cultural beliefs may differ from healthcare providers; and physical and environmental barriers like low vision, hearing loss, or an uncomfortable clinical setting. The document emphasizes the nurse's important role in assessing individual patient needs and barriers, providing education in multiple formats, ensuring patients comprehend instructions, and advocating for vulnerable patients. Awareness of potential barriers can help nurses determine the best tools and strategies to effectively deliver individualized patient education.
This document discusses dental public health in India and compares practices in other countries. It finds that in India, dental public health/community dentistry is often misunderstood and seen merely as a way to increase patient numbers rather than prevent disease. National oral health policies in India also remain unimplemented. By contrast, countries like the UK, Nordic nations, and the Netherlands integrate public dental health practitioners and preventive services into their universal healthcare systems. The document calls for India to better define the role of public dental health to improve oral health outcomes.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education is a curriculum-based process of teaching & learning about the cognitive, emotional, physical & social aspects of sexuality.
The document discusses comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in the Eastern Mediterranean region. It notes that adolescents in the region lack knowledge about sexual and reproductive health due to poor education programs. While most parents support CSE being taught in schools according to Islamic principles, teachers often have negative attitudes. Successful CSE programs have been implemented in Egypt and Pakistan. However, challenges remain including socio-cultural norms, lack of coordination and funding.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.
