This document discusses the differences between individualistic and collectivist cultures and their potential implications for public health. It notes that individualistic cultures value independence, autonomy, and self-reliance, while collectivist cultures prioritize group cohesion and loyalty. Several studies are summarized that examined the relationship between these cultural dimensions and outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic like compliance with health guidelines, spread of the virus, and mortality rates. The document suggests public health policies and messages may need to be tailored based on whether a culture is more individualistic or collectivist.

Collaborative Information Architecture (ias17)Abby Covert
You’ve worked hard on the information architecture models you’ve created but haven’t been able to sell them to the client, or your co-workers. Maybe the conversation around the IA has broken down into an unhealthy debate over semantics. In another scenario, you are tasked with creating a controlled vocabulary for a large organization that has a silo mentality and a lot of legacy content. Where to begin?
These scenarios will sound familiar to most IA professionals.
In this workshop, Abby will share her techniques for getting an organization that may have different ideas about how to organize and name content to agree upon a controlled vocabulary.
Abby will share specific tools in the form of diagrams, beyond the ubiquitous sitemap and wireframe, which communicate complex ideas. And she’ll share techniques for practicing information architecture with clients collaboratively.
I want to focus on the soft skills that make someone good at IA. So the lessons here are really about leveling up in skill set. Including:
- Conflict Resolution in IA
- Selling IA to others in your organization
- Improving stakeholder interviews
- Facilitating Low Fidelity Conversation about language
- Visualizing language with simple pictures to get clarity

Social work is an integral component of the U.S. health care system. The emergence of professional social work in Indian hospitals is a attributed to Bhore committee who recommended training and placement of hospital social workers. Social work in healthcare is performed in a medical context that is, the medical social worker needs to collaborate with the medical professionals who usually treat patients. Social work in healthcare is also regulated by healthcare legislation and not solely by social laws. Social work in healthcare in India accomplished by medical social workers trained in crisis treatment, psychosocial treatment, counselling, law, how to handle traumas and how to provide social assistance, emotional support, and instrumental support.

The Purnell Model for
Cultural Competence
Chapter 2
LARRY D. PURNELL
This chapter presents the Purnell Model for Cultural
Competence, its organizing framework, and the assump-
tions upon which the model is based. In addition, American
cultural values, practices, and beliefs are presented to assist
non–native American health-care providers to understand
American ways. The American references are meant to
describe, not prescribe or predict, behaviors and practices.
Although the authors recognize that Canada and Mexico are
part of North America, American, as used in this chapter,
refers to the dominant middle-class values of citizens of the
mainland United States. Owing to space limitations, this
chapter deals not with the objective culture—arts, literature,
humanities, and so on—but rather with the subjective cul-
ture. Many Americans are not aware of the subjective culture
because they identify differences as individual personality
traits and disregard political and social origins of culture.
Many view culture as something that belongs only to for-
eigners or disadvantaged groups. However, when Americans
travel abroad, their host country inhabitants many times
stereotypically identify them as Americans because of their
values, beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, speech patterns, and
mannerisms. Some feel that Americans are “fun lovers” and
that, for some Americans, violence is a way of life. However,
“the right to bear arms” is guaranteed by the Constitution.
Most likely, the United States is not any more violent than,
or even as violent as, many other societies, but American
media coverage may be better than other countries, thereby
giving the impression that the United States is more violent
than it actually is. Accordingly, these stereotypes are not
always accurate or desirable.
Western academic and health-care organizations
stress structure, systematization, and formalization when
studying complex phenomena such as culture and eth-
nicity. Given the complexity of individuals, the Purnell
Model for Cultural Competence provides a comprehen-
sive, systematic, and concise framework for learning and
understanding culture. The empirical framework of the
model can assist health-care providers, managers, and
administrators in all health disciplines to provide holis-
tic, culturally competent therapeutic interventions;
health promotion and wellness; illness, disease, and
injury prevention; health maintenance and restoration;
and health teaching across educational and practice
settings.
The purposes of this model are to
1. Provide a framework for all health-care providers
to learn concepts and characteristics of culture.
2. Define circumstances that affect a person’s cul-
tural worldview in the context of historical per-
spectives.
3. Provide a model that links the most central rela-
tionships of culture.
4. Interrelate characteristics of culture to promote
congruence and to facilitate the delivery of con-
sciously sensitive and competent h.
Ic2s2 Tutorial on Modeling Human Values via Social Media DataISI Foundation
Understanding human values with an empirical approach, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view, allows us to better model behaviours, actions, and attitudes towards social phenomena. It is invaluable in the design of, for instance, effective health interventions - such as encouraging vaccination- or even appropriate communication campaigns for policy making - such as sensibilization towards pro-environmental attitudes. This is important since public debate on human values often focuses on perceived threats to different values while rarely understanding or articulating how values are inferred from people’s behaviors and judgements. In this tutorial, we give an overview of how the basic human and moral values are interpreted according to the psychological literature, as a combination of individual, societal, and cultural forces. We discuss the latest research in assessing these through both traditional methods, as well as through quantitative methods applied to digital data. In the first part, we provide an overview of traditional survey methods, and discuss their applicability to the new forms of discourse, the validity of recruitment using the Internet and new opportunities this medium holds. In the second part, we consider several case studies of applying computational methods to large amounts of social media data for understanding values associated with specific domains, including politics, health, charitable giving, and privacy, and discuss how social media can capture the behavioral differences in large populations of different values. Here, we introduce methodologies for large scale data analysis including topic discovery, topic refinement, grounded theory labeling, network science, and regression modeling. We conclude with the discussion of ethical use of such modeling, including data and model bias, informed consent, intervention design, and the use of persuasive technology.

Yesterday afternoon, in the heart of the Rome of the Popes, at the Locanda di Pietro, home of Cucina Evolution, the volume entitled Silver Universe, Views on Active Living was presented to approximately sixty persons. In spite of the difficulty of the issue, many participants decided to face the challenge to think about aging, exploring the importance of nutrition and other relevant aspects, such as prevention.
I spoke about primary and secondary prevention in the pre-onset of Alzheimer's disease. Roberto Giua shared about the genesis of the edited volume with a history of the difficulties faced while encouraging prevention in Italy, compared with the predisposition in the US (thanks to AIM, Alzheimer Impact Movement), with an important emphasis on following protocols indicated by Prof. Maffei in the "Train The Brain" project. Chiara Manzi has presented her balanced and extraordinary recipes, taking into account anti-aging properties as well as the pleasure of eating relevant for well-being. Finally, Roberto Cipolla, the Chef, has elaborated on how he was able to incorporate scientific findings into his profession.
Some background discussion centered on the themes of Trauma, Stigma and Caregivers treated in the book by Laura Dryjanska and Marzia Giua.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
2. Individualistic cultures
and Collectivist cultures.
• Culture is one factor that can have an
influence on how people think and
behave.
• One factor that cross-cultural
psychologists often study involves the
differences and similarities between
individualistic cultures and collectivist
cultures.
2
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
3. • Individualistic societies there is a lack
of interpersonal connection and people only
take care of themselves or their families and
aim to achieve individual goals.
• Conversely, collectivist societies are
characterised by a strong group cohesion,
loyalty, and respect for members of the
group; the welfare of the group is put before
self-interest. 3
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
4. Cross-cultural psychology.
• One interesting phenomenon that
cross-cultural psychologists have
observed is how people from
individualist cultures describe
themselves compared to how those
from collectivist cultures describe
themselves.
4
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
5. Cross-cultural psychology.
• In a study
• 60% of Kenyans (a collectivist culture)
described themselves in terms of their
roles within groups
• while 48% of Americans (an individualist
culture) used personal characteristics to
describe themselves.
5
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
6. Individualistic Culture Traits
• Being dependent upon others is often
considered shameful .
• Independence is highly valued
• Individual rights take center stage
• People often place a greater emphasis on
standing out and being unique.
• People tend to be self-reliant.
• The rights of individuals tend to take a higher
precedence 6
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
7. Individualistic vs. Collectivist
Cultures
individualism prizes things such as:
Autonomy
Independence
Self-sufficiency
Uniqueness
• Whereas people in collectivist cultures
might be more likely to turn to family and
friends for support during difficult times,
those living in individualist cultures are more
likely to go it alone.
7
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
8. Individualistic Culture
• In individualistic cultures, people are considered
"good" if they are strong, self-reliant, assertive,
and independent.
• This contrasts with collectivist cultures where
characteristics like being self-sacrificing,
dependable, generous, and helpful to others are
of greater importance.
• A few countries that are considered individualistic
cultures include the United States, Germany,
Ireland, South Africa, and Australia.
8
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
9. Approaches to health care
• Individualistic Culture focus on personal
identity and autonomy that have a profound
influence on how a society functions. For example,
workers in an individualist culture are more
likely to value their own well-being over the
good of the group.
• Contrast this with a collectivist culture where
people might sacrifice their own comfort for the
greater good of everyone else.
9
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
10. Approaches to health care
• Individualist cultures stress the
importance of each person taking care
of his or her self without depending on
others for assistance.
• Those in collectivist cultures may
instead stress sharing the burden of
care with the group as a whole.
10
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
11. P. H Implications
Despite the virus outbreak being a global
phenomenon, different countries and
cultures may react differently to it.
Thus, research insight and policy
formulation should be treated in a case-
by-case manner based on culture, and
overarching global generalization should
be avoided.
11
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
12. P. H Implications
The second implication is that
leaders should try to foster a more
collectivistic mindset among their
residents regarding promoting safe
conduct during the current pandemic
or future ones.
12
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
13. P. H Implications
For example, when trying to promote safe behavior during
the pandemic, New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo was
quoted saying:
“Yeah it’s your life do whatever
you want, but you are now
responsible for my life. . . . We
started saying, It’s not about me
it’s about we.” .
13
www.SlideShare.net/AhmedRefat
14. P. H Implications
Alternatively,
in cases where the individualistic
tendencies are deeply rooted, it
might be better to stress the
individual benefits of safe conduct
and vaccination instead of making the
case of collectivistic social
responsibility

• As the countries of the world fight the Covid-19 pandemic, there
are clear differences visible in how the general population reacts to
the measures recommended by experts and implemented by
governments. In countries like China, Singapore or Korea, the
spread of the virus was effectively reduced by extreme social
distancing measures like curfews. But when countries in the West
like the UK or the United States tried to implement these measures,
many people just didn’t follow the government’s recommendation.
