National Community Health Survey by Penn Schoen Berland concludes that family & health are top priorities of Americans. Americans do not think their communities provide sufficient access to key resources for good health & they rate themselves and their communities as healthy, despite research showing the opposite. They view health care providers as particularly important to community health & online resources as important health care tools.

Ian Anderson, "Strengthening the Health and Well-being of Gay Men"CBRC
This document summarizes a community consultation project to assess the health needs of gay men and other men who have sex with men in Vancouver. The project team engaged with nearly 200 men in person and over 400 men total to understand who the key populations are, what sexual behaviors they engage in, where sex is negotiated, how they get health information, and how organizations can better serve them. The results will be published in a report to help address not just HIV but other health issues for these populations in a respectful manner, with implications for other jurisdictions.
Child abuse is a violation of children's basic human rights and takes many forms, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse as well as neglect. It is caused by a combination of familial, social, psychological, and economic factors. India reported over 58,000 cases of crimes against children in 2013, a 52.5% increase from 2012. The document outlines the major types of child abuse, national policies and legislation regarding child protection in India, and children's fundamental rights.
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.
This document summarizes the economic security challenges facing West Virginia's growing elderly population. It finds that West Virginia has the second highest percentage of residents over age 65 in the country, and that this population is projected to increase rapidly as baby boomers retire. This aging population will put greater demands on state programs and services while potentially reducing tax revenue. The document also reports that West Virginia's elderly population has higher rates of poverty, disability, and poor health than national averages, and many rely solely on Social Security for income. It concludes that alternative measures beyond the federal poverty level are needed to fully understand economic insecurity among West Virginia's seniors.
This document discusses sex and gender as they relate to health. It defines sex as the biological differences between men and women determined at birth, while gender refers to the social roles, behaviors, and attributes placed on men and women within a culture. It describes how gender influences health across the lifespan, with women facing greater health burdens due to biological and social factors like childbearing, gender-based violence, and lack of autonomy over healthcare decisions. The document presents a framework for measuring access to quality, gender-sensitive healthcare that considers the comprehensiveness of information provided, services offered, respect for human rights, technical competence, and healthcare infrastructure and facilities.
Underage drinking is a serious public health issue that has many negative consequences. It contributes to thousands of deaths each year from accidents, more than all illegal drugs combined. Underage drinkers are at risk of social isolation, low self-esteem, loss of school or work, family estrangement, suicidal thoughts, unsafe sex, aggression, irrational decisions, rape, liver disease, depression, brain damage, kidney damage, heart disease, and cancer. While the legal drinking age is 21, some states' proximity allows underage teenagers to cross borders to drink alcohol.
Disease Theory suggests that alcoholism and addiction are chronic diseases that cannot be cured. 12-step programs and many rehabilitation centers are also in alignment with Disease Theory. This report discusses how a Disease Theory framework affects the treatment of substance abuse disorders.
Presentation by Paula Braveman, MD, MPH at the 2009 Virginia Health Equity Conference.
Dr. Braveman described the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Commission to Build a Healthier America and explained the RWJF’s rationale for creating the Commission and for the Commission’s work to focus on the social determinants of health, and its relevance to health equity. She also discussed the Commission’s recommendations.
The document discusses sex and gender. It defines sex as the biological differences between males and females determined at birth, such as reproductive organs and ability to bear children, which do not change. Gender is defined as the social and cultural roles, behaviors, and attributes placed on males and females in a society, which can change over time and vary between cultures. The document provides examples of sex characteristics like menstruation and voice changes during puberty. Gender roles and expectations like career choices, household duties, and parenting roles are influenced by societal and cultural norms. The document outlines how gender influences health across the lifecycle from birth through adulthood and old age due to both biological and social factors.
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.
Dr. David Williams at Belmont UniversityBelmontCHS
Racial disparities in health persist despite advances in medicine and technology. Minorities experience higher rates of illness and death than whites across many health conditions. Socioeconomic status, which is strongly linked to race, is a major determinant of health. Improving living conditions, education levels, income, and neighborhoods could help reduce health inequalities by making healthy choices easier and alleviating stress. Comprehensive social and economic policies are needed across all sectors to address fundamental causes of poor health and disparities.
Drinking alcohol before the age of 21 can have negative health, behavioral, and social consequences. It can damage brain cells and memory, leading to problems with understanding and cognition. It increases the risk of car accidents, as teens who drink are twice as likely to be in crashes. Drinking is also linked to risky sexual behavior and assault. While some argue the drinking age should be lowered to match smoking and voting ages, drinking poses unique risks to health and safety that smoking and voting do not. Thus, maintaining the legal drinking age at 21 helps reduce these risks and consequences.
This document provides an overview of data collected on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in South Carolina. Some key points:
- 62% of South Carolinians reported experiencing at least one ACE, with 22% experiencing 2 or more and 16% experiencing 4 or more.
- Experiencing ACEs is associated with increased risk of physical and mental health problems in adulthood like heart disease, diabetes, depression, and poorer overall health.
- ACEs are also linked to higher rates of behavioral risks in adulthood like smoking, binge drinking, and not wearing a seatbelt.
- Those with ACEs were more likely to face barriers to healthcare access as adults such as
Here are some key discussion questions this chapter raises:
- Racial and ethnic classifications have changed to better reflect the diversity of the U.S. population over time as understanding of these social constructs evolves. How can data collection continue improving to support equitable health outcomes?
- What cultural factors most influence health behaviors and outcomes in different minority groups? How can health programs be designed to address each group's unique needs and beliefs?
- Socioeconomic disparities like poverty, education and income strongly influence health, but do not fully explain differences. What other historical, political and social determinants must be addressed?
- Empowering minority communities requires access to decision-making power. How can health programs foster social networks,
This document discusses young people's alcohol use, trends, causes, consequences, and prevention strategies. It finds that while girls drink less than boys, gender differences in drinking are decreasing. Early alcohol use under age 14 is linked to increased risk of alcohol disorders. Both positive and negative consequences of drinking are associated with escalating risky drinking behaviors among youth. Moderate drinking is difficult to define for youth given underestimations of standard drink volumes and cultural differences. Prevention efforts should focus on responsible partying and accurate social norms.
Mississippi has some of the worst health outcomes in the nation, including the highest poverty and obesity rates, and ranks near the top for preventable diseases like heart disease and diabetes. The state faces many health issues such as high rates of infant mortality, teen pregnancy, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. It also has the fewest doctors per capita and was ranked 50th in health outcomes in 2010. Improving the health of Mississippi will require collective efforts from healthcare professionals, students, and communities to encourage behavior changes and keep discussing solutions to the state's health problems.

The Small Steps to Health and Wealth initiative encourages participants to make positive behavior changes to simultaneously improve their health and personal finances. This presentation is a collaborative effort of the Military Families Learning Network and the Child and Family Learning Network.
Small Steps to Health and Wealth™ (SSHW) is a national Cooperative Extension program developed by Dr. Barbara O’Neill and Dr. Karen Ensle at Rutgers University that encourages participants to make positive behavior changes to simultaneously improve their health and personal finances. It is believed to be the first long-term program ever developed to motivate Americans to simultaneously apply the same personal behavior change strategies to both areas of their lives. SSHW was developed because many Americans have both health and financial “issues.” Societal problems that have been widely reported in recent years include an increasing incidence of diabetes, overweight, and obesity, low household savings, high household debt levels, and bankruptcy filings. The SSHW program includes 25 behavior change strategies that people can adopt to address these concerns. Each involves taking small positive steps that people can put into practice on a daily basis. This 90-minute webinar will begin by describing relationships between people's health and personal finances. It will then describe each one of the 25 behavior change strategies and how people can apply them to their lives.

Presentation at the National Prevention Network Conference on September 14, 2017
The percentage of individuals in the United States and NH with past year illicit drug dependence or abuse was highest among young adults between the ages of 18-25. A rapid assessment process was used to do a deeper dive to understand the substance use behaviors of young adults. And to ensure prevention strategies are culturally sensitive and relevant to the target populations, to help inform prevention efforts for early childhood and youth, and to establish baseline data to track implemented prevention efforts.
Themes: Community, physical environment, job opportunities and growth, communication approaches, generational differences, sense of hope or optimism, stress coping mechanisms, perception of substance misuse, consequences of substance misuse, and substance use
Key strategies: Academia/education, peer support, family and friends, key messages, and community resources
Now what? Next steps:
1. The Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services put out an RFP and will fund 11 of the 13 Regional Public Health Networks to implement young adult strategies (SBIRT; Employers; Peer leadership programs).
2. NAMI to adapt “Connect”, a youth-based suicide prevention train-the-trainer program: “Connect for Young Adults” (MH; suicide; AOD).
3. Develop and roll out a young adult social media campaign with a focus on binge drinking.
4. Second administration of the young adult assessment is being planned for 2019 which will provide important comparison data and indicate if the trends are moving in the right direction.
Heredity, environment, media, culture, attitude, and behavior all influence human development in various ways. Heredity determines genetic traits passed from parents to offspring. Environment includes surroundings like home, work, city/rural living that impact health. Media such as TV, internet and music shape views and behaviors. Culture dictates beliefs, traditions and customs that are learned. Attitude or mindset affects mood and outlook. Behavior encompasses actions under personal control that impact health and relationships.

The survey responses reveal that LGBT youth often feel profoundly disconnected from their communities. They are more likely than their non-LGBT peers to experience verbal harassment, feel they do not fit in, and believe they must leave their community to achieve their goals and dreams. Specifically, LGBT youth are twice as likely to say they will need to move away to feel accepted. They also report lower levels of optimism that they can be happy or achieve life goals if they remain in the same city or town as where they currently live. However, LGBT youth also demonstrate resilience, as most believe things will get better in the future.

Working Together for Health
Efforts to improve public health occur around the world every day. However, simply attempting to fix a problem without acknowledging, and respecting, the relationship between culture and health is not likely to have long-term success. Successful interventions, such as those in the case studies presented in your resources, demonstrate organizational collaboration. They also highlight the value of cultural relativism to improve population health outcomes. Working for the people (and with the people) can make an important impact on health.
To prepare for this Discussion, review Chapter 2, "Communities Working to Achieve Health Equity," in the Promoting Health Equity document from Week 2. Select one case study to profile in your discussion. How do the key concepts, addressed in this week's Learning Resources, relate to the case study you selected?
1. Briefly describe the population and health issue addressed in the case study.
2. In what way did cultural beliefs and behaviors contribute to the health issue in these case studies?
3. Which public health (or other) groups intervened, and how did they cooperate to improve health for this population?
4. What measures did the organization take to ensure they respected the dignity of the individuals and their culture?
5. How does this case study relate to our class resources addressing culture and collaboration?

For this discussion, I will access the overall health and identify key issues in Garland County, Arkansas. According to County Health Rankings of 2017, in the area of health outcomes Garland County, Arkansas ranked 44 out of 75 counties. When reviewing national and state results, Arkansas exceeded the U.S. median in all categories of health outcomes. For the health factors summary, they ranked much lower coming in at 28. In the category of health behaviors, 25% of adult Arkansans are smokers and 34% are obese. Both of these percentages are above national averages. Referring back to the topic of my previous discussion, the number of diagnosed sexually transmitted diseases was almost twice as many as the national average and the teen birth rate almost doubled the national average. In the category of clinical care Arkansas is near equal or slightly lower than national averages. Social and economic factors also rank fairly close to the national averages. Overall physical environment factors are no different than the national averages. In my opinion, Arkansas is a fairly clean and comfortable place to live.
