What are societies effect on mental health and substance abuse?fob321ou
Society plays a vital role in impacting mental health and substance abuse. Different groups are affected by various factors - children of parents with substance abuse issues often struggle in school and have behavioral problems, while men suffer more from alcoholism and substance abuse. Those with dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse self-medicate to cope with their conditions, and illicit drug use can exacerbate mental health symptoms or mimic them. How society perceives and handles these issues through social stigmas, policies, and treatment options greatly influences how individuals are able to manage their mental health and/or substance abuse.

The study aimed to identify factors influencing family planning utilization in Bauchi State, Nigeria. 83% of women surveyed were between 20-39 years old and married with an average of 4 children. The most commonly used methods were hormonal (injectables and pills). Barriers to long acting reversible contraceptives and other modern methods included side effects, misconceptions, limited information, and socio-cultural factors. Community factors like the influence of religious and male community leaders also impacted utilization. Organizational barriers included insufficient provider training, contraceptive stock-outs, lack of protocols and supportive supervision. Addressing individual, community, and institutional factors is needed to improve family planning uptake in Bauchi State.

This document discusses gaps in strategic information on most-at-risk populations (MARPs) in Sri Lanka. There is a lack of population size estimates and mapping of MARPs at the district level. Data on MARPs is also inadequate for HIV surveillance and estimates. It is difficult to obtain probability samples for surveillance and studies of MARPs due to their mobile nature. There is also insufficient expertise for MARP studies given Sri Lanka's low-level HIV epidemic status.

This document summarizes a systematic review of gender-integrated programming that aims to reduce gender-based violence (GBV). The review identified 55 interventions globally, with 12 located in South Asia. Most interventions engaged men and boys and employed transformative strategies like challenging gender norms and empowering vulnerable groups. Transformative programs effectively changed attitudes around GBV while accommodating strategies mobilized communities against practices like female genital mutilation. The review recommends continued involvement of men and boys in GBV programs combined with empowerment strategies and structural opportunities to achieve health and gender outcomes.

This document summarizes a study of substance abuse, sexual behaviors, HIV/STD/HCV testing, and prevention service utilization among injection drug users in Dallas, Texas from 2005-2006. The study used respondent-driven sampling to obtain prevalence estimates among 597 injection drug users. Key findings include: most participants had unprotected sex and used drugs or alcohol before sex, though few were tested recently for STDs; using substances before sex was linked to riskier behaviors but not prevention service use; and effective prevention strategies are still needed to promote safer behaviors.

March 28, 2016
There has been increased concern among policy makers, scientists and communities that health is greatly affected by a number of factors that occur in a person’s lifetime and in multi levels. Prevention is sententious to curb occurrence of any disease within the population, and it has to come first even if access to quality healthcare services is provided. To adequately promote health and prevent diseases, certain policies and factors need to be addressed mostly factors that are related to health behaviors.
Social psychology is all about understanding individuals’ behavior specifically in a social setting. Basically, social psychology focuses on factors that influence people to behave in certain ways in presence of others. The two greatest contributors in the field of social psychology were Allport (1920) and Bandura (1963). To begin with, according to Allport; he argued that the interaction of individuals with others or the presence of social groups can encourage the development of certain behaviors (Kassin, 2014). This is what Allport referred to as social facilitation, in his research he identified that an audience will facilitate the performance of an actor in a well learnt and understood task; however the performance of the same actor will decrease in performance on difficult tasks which are newly learnt, and this is contributed by social inhibition. The second contributor in the field of social psychology is Bandura (1963), in his work he developed a notion that behavior in the social world could be possibly modeled, and this is what he referred to as social learning theory. He gave his explanation with three groups of children who were watching a video where in the video an adult showed aggressiveness towards a “bobo doll” and the adults who displayed such behavior were awarded by another adult or were just punished. Therefore Bandura found that children who saw the adult being rewarded were found to be more likely to imitate that adult’s behavior.
Certain theories plays important roles in health assessment, and a theory is defined as a collection of concepts in specific area of concern or interest in the world that need explanations, intervening and prediction. Theories need to be backed up with evidence that tend to explain why things will happen in relation to current situations, and followed with some actions to turn situations in certain desirable ways. Health assessment can be defined as a plan of care that recognizes specific person’s health needs and how such needs will be addressed by healthcare system or any other health institutions (Jarvis, 2008). Generally, health assessment is the evaluation of health status through examination of physical and psychological concerns after looking at the health history of the victim assess ...

This document discusses behavioral risk factors for lung cancer. The two main behavioral risk factors discussed are heavy alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking. Predisposing factors that contribute to these behaviors include gender and family history. Reinforcing factors include internal and external rewards, while enabling factors make the behaviors easier through conditions like wealth and living situation. The document also discusses advantages and disadvantages of different settings for addressing lung cancer risks, such as quitting smoking/drinking or improving nutrition.
This briefing overviews the research on the extent, consequences, risks and prevention strategies for family violence with a focus on preventing family violence in North Carolina.
This internship aimed to train health educators in implementing SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) to address substance abuse issues. The intern created presentations on SBIRT and motivational interviewing, and led role-playing activities to practice the skills. SBIRT screening tools were used to identify at-risk patients, who then received a brief intervention or referral to treatment. An evaluation found the training increased advocates' understanding of SBIRT and motivational interviewing techniques.
The document discusses newborn screening (NBS), which tests newborns for certain disorders and conditions that can compromise development if undetected. While NBS successfully lowers infant mortality, it has not addressed the increase in disabilities. The document advocates beginning NBS programs in India to detect conditions like congenital hypothyroidism and prevent associated morbidities and financial burdens. NBS programs require epidemiological data, ethical and economical consideration, and availability of screening tests, treatment, and intervention timelines. The document encourages starting regional NBS centers in India to prevent childhood disabilities and mortality from treatable metabolic diseases.
This document provides an overview of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and programmatic response in Uttar Pradesh, India. It finds that key vulnerability factors driving the epidemic include a large population, gender disparities, the presence of high-risk groups like migrants, female sex workers, and injecting drug users. HIV prevalence trends show a concentrated epidemic among high-risk groups but signs of spread to the general population. The government's response under NACP III aims to prevent new infections, increase access to care and treatment, build capacity, and strengthen strategic information systems through targeted interventions for high-risk groups and the general population. Key ongoing challenges include curbing the spread from high-risk to low-risk groups and further decentralizing
The document summarizes adolescent preventive services and visit patterns. It finds that currently recommended clinical preventive services (CPS) for adolescents often lack strong evidence of effectiveness. Delivery rates of CPS are low, even for services with good evidence like cervical cancer screening. Adolescents average 1.9 total medical visits per year but only 9% are for preventive care. Guidelines calling for one annual preventive visit are met less than 2% of the time. More evidence and attention to improving delivery systems are needed to better provide preventive services to adolescents.
This document provides an overview of evidence-based programs and practices for children and families. It defines evidence-based practices as programs that have been shown through rigorous experimental evaluations like randomized controlled trials to make a positive statistical difference in important outcomes. The document then lists several organizations and clearinghouses that identify and rate evidence-based programs. It provides links to each one so readers can search for programs that meet their needs. Finally, it notes some programs are no longer actively maintained and provides alternative resources.

Editor's Notes
Our office has re-organized to reflect some of these common linkages with Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention, and Mental Health Promotion.
In the past, Behavioral Health has focused on the prevention of a single separate disorders, such as substance abuse or suicide. Recent research has shown that substance abuse and other behavioral health problems—such as psychological distress and suicide—are interrelated and can be addressed at the same time. They share common risk and protective factors. Improvements in one area often directly impact others.
Mental Health Promotion has been included also because:
Promotion enables people “to increase control over, and to improve, their health”.3 Promotion refers to interventions that help people take charge of their life and improve their well being. The aim of promotion is to enhance people’s ability to “achieve developmentally appropriate tasks,” acquire a “positive sense of self-esteem, mastery, well-being, and social inclusion”, and to “strengthen their ability to cope with adversity”.4
As prevention practitioners, we are responsible for identifying opportunities to address health in a more comprehensive way—i.e. address many of the shared risk and protective factors to reach people in at risk settings and during those times in their lives where and when services are most likely to have the greatest impact.
COMMON R/P FACTORS
• Risk factor: a characteristic at the biological, psychological, family, community, or cultural level that precedes and is associated with a higher likelihood of problem outcomes
• Protective factor: a characteristic associated with a lower likelihood of problem outcomes or that reduces the negative impact of a risk factor on problem outcomes
Resources for Shared Evidence-based Practices (Suicide & SAP):
