Seven Questions to Ask When Evaluating an Intervention Approach
This document provides 7 questions to ask when evaluating an intervention approach for a child with autism: 1) What symptoms does it address? 2) Are these high-priority targets? 3) What research supports this approach? 4) What outcomes are expected? 5) How is progress monitored? 6) What are the advantages and disadvantages? 7) What risks are involved? The questions are meant to help navigate communication services and supports for a young child with autism.
JULIE DIEP, M.S.- CCC: April Meeting Presentation
This document provides information about Autism Awareness Month and autism. It defines autism as a developmental brain disorder affecting communication and social skills. It notes that about 1 in 110 children have an autism spectrum disorder. The document provides details on diagnosing autism, common signs, treatment options, causes, and debunks links between autism and vaccines. It also announces an upcoming autism awareness event in April.
Brief intervention
The ASSIST-linked brief intervention is a short, 3-15 minute intervention for clients who screen at moderate risk for substance use issues based on their ASSIST scores. It aims to motivate clients to change their substance use behaviors by providing personalized feedback on their substance use patterns and associated health risks. The brief intervention follows 10 suggested steps that incorporate principles of motivational interviewing and FRAMES techniques to have a non-confrontational discussion with clients about their substance use in a supportive manner. It is designed to be delivered by primary health care workers to help clients who are not dependent but are using substances in a hazardous or harmful way.
Bus 271 clint verrett teen vaping
1) Teen vaping has become an epidemic in the United States, with 1 in 5 high school students using e-cigarettes regularly according to the CDC. Vaping can negatively impact brain development and mental health in teens.
2) Nicotine and other chemicals in vapes put teens at risk for mood disorders, addiction, and exacerbating conditions like anxiety and depression due to effects on the still-developing brain.
3) Teen vaping is influenced by peer pressure, appealing flavors, and a belief that vaping is less harmful than cigarettes. Parents need to take action through open communication, setting a quit date, and understanding withdrawal symptoms to help teens overcome addiction.

This document discusses preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) through a dual generation approach of supporting both children and parenting adults. It presents data showing very high ACE scores among Washington adults ages 18-34 and 35-54, and how unaddressed ACEs can compound across generations through effects on parenting ability, health, behavior, and crisis. The document advocates engaging communities to shift social norms, and reforming systems like health, corrections, education and workforce development using ACE-informed policies. It presents evidence that building social/emotional support and resilience can reduce ACE-driven costs and improve outcomes like employment, housing stability, and physical/mental health.

How common is bad breath and what do people think causes it?
Based on a survey of 261 respondents about bad breath:
- The most common perceived causes of bad breath were eating certain foods, cavities, using tobacco or alternatives, and vitamin/mineral deficiencies.
- The most popular ways people deal with bad breath were reducing tobacco/alternative use, using breath sprays, adjusting their diet, using gum, and chewing mint or parsley.
- Over 60% of respondents and their partners were reported to have had bad breath for over a year, while just 2.5% consulted a healthcare provider for their bad breath.
Substance abuse and ADHD statistics
Stimulant medications are among the highly abused drugs in the country. Surprisingly, stimulants like Ritalin and Concerta which are both methylphenidate and amphetamines (Adderal) are actually prescribed to treat people with ADHD.
Mental health care facts from the aap
Almost 1 in 5 children in the US have a mental health or substance abuse disorder, yet only 20-25% receive treatment. With more children seeking mental health treatment due to parity laws, shortages in professionals will require greater coordination between pediatricians and psychiatrists. The primary care setting provides opportunities for early identification, counseling, guidance, and management of mental health issues which can reduce hospitalizations and offset increased outpatient costs.

Gerard Collins (Department of Health)
This document discusses public mental health in Northern Ireland. It notes that mental health issues place a large burden on societies worldwide in terms of health and economic costs. Northern Ireland in particular has high levels of issues like poverty, domestic abuse, self-harm, and suicide that stem at least in part from its history of conflict. Several policy initiatives in Northern Ireland have aimed to improve mental health services, support for caregivers, and legislation to protect those with mental health issues or lack of capacity. The Programme for Government has included mental health outcomes and action plans focused on issues like parity with physical health, children's mental health, and reducing stigma. However, challenges remain regarding fully implementing family support programs, expanding therapy access, integrating crisis services,
APA 2008: Assessing Suicide Risk in the General Hospital: Implementing the 20...
The document discusses implementing Goal 15A of the 2007 National Patient Safety Goal, which requires hospitals to identify patients at risk for suicide. It recommends that hospitals establish policies and procedures to screen certain high-risk patient populations, including those with emotional or behavioral disorders, drug or alcohol problems, mental retardation, dementia, or delirium. The screening should involve asking questions about recent suicide attempts, suicidal intent, plans, psychological distress, hopelessness, agitation, psychosis, wish for death, family history of suicide, social support, and substance abuse. Hospitals are advised to involve nurses in developing screening processes, build screening into nursing intake assessments, define the populations to screen, and automate processes when possible.
Alcohol teachback
This document provides information about alcohol, its effects, and drinking statistics. It defines alcohol as a central nervous system depressant produced by fermenting sugars and starches. The effects of alcohol include impaired brain function, reduced inhibitions, and potential health risks that depend on how much and how often one drinks. Drinking statistics show that most adults have drank alcohol at some point in their lives, with over half drinking in the past month and about a quarter engaging in binge drinking. The document also addresses risks of alcohol addiction and the dangers of drinking during pregnancy.
Underage Drinking
The document summarizes the results of a survey of 20 high school seniors about underage drinking. Most students drink alcohol 1-3 days per month, and over a third find it extremely easy to obtain alcohol. While most think the drinking age should remain 18, underage drinking is considered somewhat or very serious by 70% of students. Over half know someone with an alcohol problem, and 40% know someone injured or killed by a drunk driver. Nearly all know a parent that permits underage drinking.
GAHL Fact Sheet-Literacy-new
Health literacy means being able to find, understand, and use health information to make good health decisions. It is important because it helps people stay healthy and avoid unnecessary costs. People of all ages, races, incomes, and education levels can have limited health literacy. To improve health literacy, people should write down questions before doctor visits, bring medications to appointments, and take notes on what is discussed. Strong health literacy skills through building skills and helping others can improve health outcomes and lower costs like hospitalizations.

CEBS August 2015 at June 17, 2015
This document discusses improving oral health outcomes through a dental wellness plan approach. It begins by outlining the chronic infectious nature of dental diseases and how current treatment methods do not effectively address the underlying causes. It then proposes a dental wellness plan that would identify high-risk plan members through shared risk assessment, treat the infections causing dental decay through an evidence-based antibacterial coating, and differentiate care levels based on risk status. The goal is to contain costs and improve outcomes by shifting from a surgical response to managing the oral infections driving dental diseases.

Hazel Cheeseman & Ian Gray - E-Cigarette Summit 2014
This document discusses the challenges that organizations face when developing policies around vaping and e-cigarettes. It notes that the issues are complex with no clear answers, and that there is confusion about distinguishing between smoke and vapor as well as knowledge about nicotine. It also discusses conflicting beliefs around issues like addiction and the involvement of tobacco companies. The document advocates that developing good policy requires identifying clear principles, engaging stakeholders, considering evidence, using appropriate language, ensuring fit with other policies, and having a process for implementation and review. It provides context on working with councils in the UK to develop vaping policies.

Key Findings from Sivantos Life@50+ Survey
- 1. © Siemens AG 2015. All rights reserved. Restricted. Sivantos GmbH is a trademark licensee of Siemens AG Sivantos, Inc. 2015 Live@50+ Survey July 2015
- 2. Methodology • Survey was taken at the 2015 Life@50+ event in May 2015 • Live survey intercepts • 321 respondents • Median age: 60-69 • Mostly from South Atlantic region • Two thirds female
- 3. Key Findings • Respondents not proactive about hearing loss • Overestimate how others will react to hearing aids • Underestimate other’s perception about untreated hearing loss
- 4. Respondents Not Proactive About Hearing Loss • Even though more than half (53-55 percent) report hearing loss: • Only 16 percent with mild to moderate hearing loss wear a hearing aid • Only 53 percent with severe to profound hearing loss wear a hearing aid • Hearing is the least likely routine health check (tied with colonoscopy) • Nearly half have had elective procedures (such as Botox or implants) • This compares with just 14 percent who wear hearing aids • Most (81 percent) not aware Medicare covers diagnostic hearing exams
- 5. Overestimate How Others will React to Hearing Aids • Respondents NOT judgmental when others wear hearings aids • Only 8 to 17 percent think others are “old”, “feeble”, etc. • YET … they expect others WILL judge them • Say that 51-67 percent will find THEM to be old, feeble, etc.
- 6. Underestimate others’ perception about untreated hearing loss • 25 percent no longer want to interact with those who ask them to repeat themselves • Yet – only 15 percent think others react the same way when THEY do it
- 7. Recommendations Be proactive about getting your hearing checked. Hearing loss has been associated with the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and with depression. Even mild hearing loss, when untreated, may lead to cognitive decline. Ask your doctor for a hearing screening during your yearly checkup to be sure there are no changes. Boomers are concerned about staying and looking young. One of the best ways to appear and feel younger is to treat your hearing loss. This includes wearing hearing aids when you need them. Remember, modern hearing aids don’t make you look old – not addressing your hearing loss and constantly asking others to repeat themselves is what can make you look old. Medicare guidelines require a physician to evaluate your safety and functional ability as part of your initial wellness visit. So when you become eligible for Medicare, talk to your doctor about any concerns you may have about your hearing. Keep socially active and avoid irritating others by forcing them to repeat what they said. A quick and simple hearing test can help determine whether hearing aids can help you live a more engaged and healthy life. Sivantos recommends the following simple steps:
