This document discusses proactively ending child abuse in the United States. It notes that organizations like the Parent Enhancement Program in Oregon seek to cure child abuse and neglect by addressing its underlying causes or symptoms. The document provides statistics on the high rates of child abuse and neglect in the U.S., especially among young children, and discusses the negative long-term health, behavioral, and relationship consequences of experiencing abuse as a child. Risk factors for abuse, like teenage parenthood, premature or difficult infants, lack of parenting knowledge, and negative attitudes towards childrearing are also examined. The document concludes by advocating for educating youth on childcare, development, and stress reduction to help reduce instances of abuse stemming from a
Psa Family Awareness
The document discusses statistics that show the impact of dysfunctional families on children and society. Over 90% of American families pass down dysfunctional habits that distort lives. Family interaction strongly influences substance abuse, and dysfunctional family conditions can lead to future delinquency. Many children come from divorced families or live without parents, and some have learning or behavioral issues due to changes in their family system. Resources are provided to help those suffering from broken families.

Same Sex Parents
This document discusses same sex parents and research on children raised by them. It begins by stating that homosexuality is not hereditary or something that can change sexual orientation. Studies have shown children of same sex parents do not have more psychological problems than other family structures. Approximately 1-2 million children in the US have a lesbian or gay parent. Same sex parents are more likely to adopt or foster children compared to heterosexual couples. Research indicates children of same sex parents have normal development and adjustment, and parenting ability is not related to sexual orientation. The document provides resources for same sex parents and educators.
Same Sex Parents
This document discusses same sex parents and provides statistics about LGBTQ families in the United States. It notes that approximately 1 in 9 million children have at least one parent who is lesbian or gay. Around 27% of same sex partner households include children. Research shows that children with same sex parents show no differences in emotional, behavioral, or social development compared to children with heterosexual parents. The document provides resources for support and strategies for making schools inclusive for all families.
high school dropout rate
The document analyzes the relationship between state-level high school dropout rates and several independent variables including teen pregnancy rates, annual income, divorce rates, crime rates, obesity rates, and minimum wage employment. It finds that higher annual income, teen pregnancy rates, and lower rates of minimum wage employment are statistically significantly correlated with higher state dropout rates, while divorce rates, crime rates, and obesity are not significantly correlated.
Healthcare Policy
The document discusses a health care policy task force's proposal to reform and expand the "Let's Move" program established by Michelle Obama to address the problems of overweight and obesity among Americans. It notes the health and economic benefits of a healthier population, but also the costs and challenges of implementing such a policy, including pushback from food industry stakeholders. The task force recommends allocating federal and state resources to increase public awareness of obesity risks and establish reasonable goals to promote a healthier United States.

This one word (1)
This study examines factors that influence family size, specifically analyzing the relationship between number of siblings, income, education, and number of offspring. The author hypothesizes that individuals from families with more children (and thus fewer resources per child) will likely achieve lower incomes and education, and have more children of their own due to lacking the same opportunities. The study will use survey data to analyze correlations between these variables and test the "resource investment theory" which proposes that splitting resources among more children influences future outcomes. If supported, the theory suggests that coming from a larger family can perpetuate having larger families over generations.

Risk factors for alcohol use among pregnant women,
This study analyzed data from 2002 to 2017 on over 13,000 pregnant women in the United States to identify risk factors for alcohol use and binge drinking during pregnancy. The study found that women who used other substances, had an alcohol use disorder, or depression had significantly higher risks of drinking alcohol or binge drinking during pregnancy, as did unmarried women. Higher socioeconomic status was linked to higher risks of any drinking, while lower socioeconomic status increased the risks of binge drinking in the second and third trimesters. The researchers recommend health care providers focus interventions on women at highest risk, including those with substance use, mental health issues, and those of lower socioeconomic status or who are unmarried.

0660928 A Night of Mistakes
This integrated media series is a promotional website for A Night of Mistakes, a short movie about the implications from a night of underage drinking. It stars Chase Daniels, a star athlete from an underprivileged family who attends a party and partakes in drinking, drug use and even sexual relations. This leads to immediate implications with his parents, his personal life and education as he impregnates a girl from the party. After a series of events that unfolds from that night of partying, Chase looks back and realizes that it really was not worth it. The website for the unreleased movie will help educate children about underage drinking.

The passage summarizes the key findings of a task force report on the state of children in the US. It notes that the US lags behind other developed countries on several child health and well-being indicators. It highlights that a quarter of US children under 3 live in poverty and face risks that could harm their development. Factors like low immunization rates, more children in poverty or single-parent homes, and more children in substandard childcare while parents work are contributing to a "quiet crisis". Unplanned pregnancies are a major issue, with 80% of teen and over half of all pregnancies unplanned. More children are entering foster care systems due to neglect and abuse. The report warns that conditions in early childhood

An Overview of Child Support Cases in the US
The U.S. Census Bureau reports in their 2011 study that approximately 23.4 million American children (under 21 years old) live separately from one of their parents. About 14.4 million families have been living separately after divorce, with the custodial parent raising their children with personal income and child support. Here is an overview of today’s child support cases:
DeLorenzo.ResearchList
Thomas DeLorenzo has researched several public health policy issues in California including the effect of increasing personal belief exemptions on vaccination rates, regulating hydraulic fracturing, mandating mail-order pharmacies, and pre-term c-sections on healthcare costs. He also examined groundwater depletion in Coachella Valley and the HPV vaccine mandate in Virginia on long term costs. His pending research concerns whether parents have a constitutional right to not vaccinate their children and potential penalties.
Presentation1
The document discusses childhood obesity, including debates around awareness campaigns. It notes that 40% of children are obese while 75% of parents do not see it as a problem. However, some argue campaigns can be shaming. Causes of childhood obesity include lifestyle, genetics, and using food to cope. Health risks include diabetes, high blood pressure, bone fractures and more. Prevention methods incorporate limiting sugary drinks and portions while increasing activity and calorie awareness.
Adolescent Adoption_Infographic
The document discusses barriers to adolescent adoption from foster care and potential interventions. It notes that over 400,000 children are in foster care with many losing hope, and adolescents are less likely to be adopted. Key barriers include the child's age, losing biological family connections, difficulties with behavior or adjustment, and mismatches between adoptees and potential parents. Suggested interventions include modifying policies to encourage adolescent adoption, providing more services, youth involvement, competency assessments to match needs and strengths, and marketing techniques to promote adolescent adoption. The goal is for social workers and policymakers to understand the issues and implement effective strategies.
NARAL
NARAL Pro-Choice America is a non-profit organization founded in 1968 that advocates for abortion rights and access to reproductive healthcare in the United States. It works to elect pro-choice politicians, oppose restrictions on abortion, and expand access through political advocacy and grassroots organizing. NARAL has approximately 30 state affiliates and fights restrictions on abortion, birth control, and sex education through legislation, campaigns, and legal action. It generally supports Democratic candidates and views that uphold abortion rights and opposes Republican candidates with anti-abortion platforms.
Alcohol Addiction
Alcoholism runs in families and children of alcoholics are more likely to develop alcohol use disorders. Studies show the rates of female alcoholics are nearly equal to males now. Alcohol abuse occurs when drinking interferes with responsibilities like work or family. There are two types of alcoholics - type one who have a family history and grew up around heavy drinking, and type two males who drink heavily without caring about social approval or restraint. Driving drunk greatly increases the risk of accidents, and alcohol is a leading factor in traffic deaths, especially for younger people.
The laws of thermodynamics
This document discusses the connections between heat and work through the laws of thermodynamics. It introduces the three laws of thermodynamics:
1) The zeroth law establishes that thermal equilibrium is transitive.
2) The first law states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added minus the work done.
3) The second law establishes that heat cannot spontaneously flow from a cold to a hot body, and limits the maximum possible efficiency of heat engines and refrigerators.
Heat engines and refrigerators/heat pumps are then discussed as examples of applying the laws of thermodynamics to transfer heat from hot to cold reservoirs to produce work or vice versa. Key concepts like
Laws of Thermodynamics
The document summarizes the four laws of thermodynamics:
1) The zeroth law establishes thermal equilibrium and allows for temperature measurement.
2) The first law states that energy is conserved and heat and work are interchangeable.
3) The second law says that entropy always increases in spontaneous processes and disorder increases.
4) The third law establishes that entropy reaches zero at absolute zero temperature.

4) The third law establishes that entropy reaches zero at absolute zero temperature.
Basic Thermodynamics.
- When two objects are in thermal equilibrium, they have the same temperature. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved and relates changes in internal energy to heat and work. The second law states that heat spontaneously flows from hot to cold objects. The third law states it is impossible to reach absolute zero temperature in a finite number of steps.
- Heat engines convert heat into work. Refrigerators and heat pumps use work to transfer heat from cold to warm regions against the natural direction of heat flow. The efficiency and coefficient of performance of these devices relate their input and output energies. Irreversible processes increase the total entropy of the universe, while reversible processes do not change it.
Heat and Mass Transfer Basics
This document provides an overview of topics related to heat and mass transfer, including:
- Fins and their applications (Unit I)
- Convection boundary layer concepts including velocity and thermal boundary layers (Unit II)
- Heat exchangers including concentric tube, cross flow, and shell and tube designs (Unit III)
- Boiling and condensation processes including boiling curves and regimes (Unit IV)
- Mass transfer concepts and analogies to heat transfer including diffusion, convection, and concentration boundary layers (Unit V)
It defines key terms and concepts for each topic and provides illustrations of processes like boundary layer development, boiling curves, and mass transfer mechanisms like diffusion and convection.
Heat & Mass Transfer Chap 1 (FE-509) Food Engineering UAF
This chapter introduces key concepts of heat transfer and thermodynamics. It defines heat transfer as energy transferred due to a temperature difference and discusses the three mechanisms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction involves energy transfer through direct contact of particles. Convection combines conduction and bulk fluid motion. Radiation transfers energy via electromagnetic waves. The chapter establishes relationships like Fourier's law of conduction and Newton's law of cooling and introduces concepts such as thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficients.
Thermodynamic Chapter 5 Air Standard Cycle
The document summarizes key concepts about thermodynamics cycles. It describes the processes that make up the Otto cycle used in spark-ignition engines, including isentropic compression, constant volume heat addition, isentropic expansion, and constant volume heat rejection. The thermal efficiency of the Otto cycle is defined. An example calculation illustrates determining temperatures, pressures, thermal efficiency, back work ratio, and mean effective pressure for an Otto cycle. The Diesel cycle used in compression ignition engines is also introduced.
Thermodynamic Chapter 4 Second Law Of Thermodynamics
This document provides an overview of the second law of thermodynamics. It discusses how the second law establishes conditions for equilibrium and determines theoretical performance limits. The document defines key concepts like thermal efficiency, the Carnot cycle, and entropy. It presents examples calculating efficiency and heat transfer for systems like power plants, refrigerators, and heat pumps operating between different temperature levels.
Thermodynamic Chapter 2 Properties Of Pure Substances
This document provides an overview of properties of pure substances and phase change processes. It defines a pure substance as having a fixed chemical composition throughout. Pure substances can exist in solid, liquid, or gas phases. Phase change processes like melting, boiling, and condensation occur at saturation conditions where two phases coexist in equilibrium. Properties like specific volume, internal energy, and enthalpy vary based on temperature, pressure, and quality (ratio of vapor mass to total mass) of mixtures. Property tables and interpolation are used to determine properties at given conditions for pure substances like water. Examples show how to apply these concepts to calculate properties like pressure, temperature, and enthalpy at different states.
Thermodynamic Chapter 1 Fundamental Concepts
This document provides an introduction to fundamental concepts in thermodynamics. It defines thermodynamics as the science concerned with energy storage and transformations, mostly involving heat and work. The three main concepts introduced are systems, surroundings, and boundaries. A system is the quantity of matter or region being studied, surroundings are outside the system, and boundaries separate the two. Thermodynamic properties can be intensive, like temperature, or extensive, like energy. Thermodynamic processes involve changes between equilibrium states.
Laws Of Thermodynamics
The document summarizes the four laws of thermodynamics:
1) The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form.
2) The second law states that the entropy of an isolated system always increases.
3) The third law states that the entropy of a system approaches a minimum, zero, as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
4) There is no universally accepted fourth law, but some proposals include the Onsager reciprocal relations regarding heat and matter flow parameters.
Thermodynamics Lecture 1
The document discusses key concepts in thermodynamics including:
1. It defines systems, surroundings, boundaries, properties, states, paths, processes, cycles, and equilibrium.
2. It explains heat, work, temperature, and the different mechanisms of heat transfer.
3. It introduces the three laws of thermodynamics and their implications for engineering systems and processes.
Thermodynamic Chapter 3 First Law Of Thermodynamics
This document provides an overview of the first law of thermodynamics for closed systems. It defines key terms like internal energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy. It presents the general energy balance equation for closed systems undergoing various processes like constant volume, constant pressure, or adiabatic. Example problems demonstrate applying the first law to calculate changes in internal energy or heat transfer. The document also discusses thermodynamic cycles and how the first law applies to systems that return to their initial state.

In addition to including incidence rates, racial breakdowns, and other markers, I examined the methods that states used to present their maternal mortality data. The latter refers to graphics selections, terminology, and other creative considerations that might have been used to impact a reader’s connection and understanding of the issue in a state’s report.
It is important to acknowledge that not every state had an existing report. Furthermore, in my analysis I found that even for states with existing maternal mortality review committees, reports were not always readily accessible online. Moreover, every state with an existing review committee do not always have a list of recommendations. Therefore, the following summaries are a couple of examples from my complete 26 state analysis, featured on the states of Louisiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Ohio, as they were able to provide a direct list of official recommendations.
Family Opportunity Guarantee
This document proposes policies to address child poverty and economic insecurity for families in the United States. It discusses high levels of child poverty and economic inequality compared to other developed nations. Specific policies proposed include universal health insurance for children, expanded access to affordable and high-quality child care and early education, paid family and medical leave, and providing families with direct cash benefits rather than only in-kind assistance. The goal is to improve economic opportunities and outcomes for children through investments that support families and level the playing field.
Sample report
Law enforcement leaders in Arizona warn that cutting children's health insurance will negatively impact public safety. They note that many youth deaths are due to preventable causes like accidents and violence. The leaders argue that proven therapies could help troubled youth but may not be accessible without insurance. Cutting coverage risks leaving thousands of children uninsured and increases the long-term costs of untreated behavioral and substance abuse issues.
Healthcare oligopoly is Affecting u.s. economy converted
The document provides an overview of rising healthcare costs and declining outcomes in the United States compared to other developed nations. It notes that while the US spends much more per capita on healthcare, it has lower life expectancy and rates of preventable deaths than peers. The high costs are driven by administrative waste, high prices, and lack of cost control. The document argues that healthcare costs are a major burden on the US economy and individuals, and that reforms are needed to reduce costs while improving access and outcomes for all Americans.

Maternal care is essential for women and infants. Maternal care extends from the pregnancy period to the period after giving birth. The use of contraceptives lies in this sector of healthcare. Florida's policies on the use of contraceptives allow everyone from any age to purchase contraceptives. Therefore, even at an age below 18 years, it is possible and legal to acquire contraceptives. Abortion is a criminal offense in several nations all over the world. In Florida, abortion is legal. Fifty-six percent of Florida's adults revealed that abortion ought to be legal in most or even all cases. However, Florida requires that, for all persons under the age of eighteen years, a legal guardian or parent be notified of the abortion before the plan is put into motion and permit the victim to have an abortion. Insurance cover does not cover voluntary abortion. However, suppose the abortion is meant to protect the mother's life, and it is certified by a medical professional. In that case, a case can be made for the insurance to cover the abortion (Ely et al., 2020). Therefore, abortion for women with insurance cover may differ a little bit from those without insurance cover (Ely et al., 2020).
Florida's infant mortality rate was 6.01 deaths per thousand live births in 2019 (Atwell, 2019). Infant and maternal mortality rates are related in that they occur during birth or abortion. Infant mortality is the death of an infant during childbirth, while maternal mortality is the death of the mother during the process of giving birth. Infant and maternal mortality rates may occur mostly during abortions if the process is not performed well; or due to other complications during the process of giving birth (Atwell, 2019).

Access to Maternal Health Resources and Polices in Florida State
Florida is a developed state where maternal health is taken seriously. The family planning health services there are rendered by independent agencies and health departments of local hospitals. For example, women of different ages and with various levels of income have access to FDA-approved birth control methods, screening for cancer and STDs, pregnancy tests and counseling (Blakeney et al., 2020). Moreover, the healthcare system of the state is able to provide follow-up and referral services. Those residents of Florida who live below the poverty line are provided with the abovementioned services for free. When it comes to abortion, it can be administered to all pregnant women up to 18 weeks. When it comes to teenagers, Florida law requires them to notify their parents about the intention to have an ab ...
FLfinalreport
Florida faces significant health disparities, with minority populations experiencing higher rates of diseases like HIV/AIDS, cervical cancer, and gonorrhea. Uninsurance contributes to these disparities through lack of access to preventative care and treatment. Expanding Medicaid would provide coverage to around 877,000 Floridians and address the disparities. It would improve health outcomes and reduce costs by increasing access to care, lowering uncompensated costs for hospitals by $1.3 billion annually. While expansion faces political opposition, it has majority public support and would benefit both the population and state economy through increased jobs and revenue of over $8 billion.

Abstract
Maternal, infant health is very essential for the progress of any country since they form the pillar of our future generations. United States has made significant strides towards securing the maternal and child health through various initiatives and programs within the country and around the globe. Despite the existence of health care initiatives to promote maternal, infant and child health, maternal and infant mortalities are still recorded on a daily basis in the U.S. Risk factors to maternal, infant and child mortalities include poor and a lack of a antenatal care attendance, unskilled birth attendants,ce and childhood illnesses. More than a quarter of every single maternal mortality is because of postpartum hemorrhaginge, for the most part after labor.
Infant mortality is another prevalent case that contributes to the worsening situation in child and maternal health, because of untimely births represent more than a quarter of infant mortalities, trailed by mortalities during births and neonatal sepsis. Maternal and child health (MCH) programs concentrate on medical problems concerning related to mothers, children, and families – such as , for example, access to suitable pre-natal and child welfare services, baby mortality mitigation initiatives, emergency medical services, prevention of injuries, infant screening, and administrations to kidschildren children with unique health care needs. The United States is working to prevent maternal deaths, infant mortalities, and child mortalities, and to reduce the prevalence of these incidences. It calls for a multidisciplinary approach in order to eliminate this issue affecting the mothers and children. Reinforcing referral systems and linkages between various levels of hospital-based patient care, and between healthcare organizations providers and the general population, must be a top needpriority.

Pregnancy Related deaths - 50.8 per 100,000 births in African Americans.
-3rd highest in nation
As of 2010, Detroit Michigan has a total population of 688,701 people. Of the 688,701 people, 10.6 % are White American and 82.7% are Black American. The community of Detroit is dealing with a rising concern with maternal health and pregnancy related mortality rates. Of the total population, 52.7% (or 362,945) are women. The cause of mortality among maternal mothers is obstetric causes, medical, accidents, suicide, assaults, and other causes. Per year on average, 6 women die from pregnancy issues, this amount is three times higher than that of the national average. These high mortality rates are more common in African American women than other races. Pregnancy related deaths among African Americans is 50.8 per 100,000 live births. This makes Detroit Michigan the third highest city of pregnancy related mortality in the nation. The high mortality rates in Detroit are due to health conditions, poverty, and proper health care. These numbers show that it is dangerous for a pregnant women to live and give birth in Detroit.

Thesis Statement
Thesis
The health disparities among women and children in Detroit are some of the worst in the nation. “The maternal mortality rate for black mothers in 2002 was almost 25 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to nearly 6 deaths per 100,000 live births among white mothers and more than 7 deaths…among Hispanic mothers” (National Institute of Health, 2006, p.x). That is nearly four times the national average. More focus needs to be placed on maternal and child health in low socio-economic areas of Detroit.
Factors & Causes
Over 40% of population is living in poverty
Chronic Diseases
Limited access/ quality of health care
Obstetric, Medical, Accidents leading cause
While normally a major health concern in less developed countries, maternal and child health in the United States has become a major concern. “Child mortality is highly preventable and can be reduced greatly through improvement of environmental conditions and hygiene levels, as well as increased parental compliance with immunizations for vaccine preventable diseases…Many of these deaths were caused by preventable or easily treatable condition or by malnutrition (WHO, 2012c; WHO, 2012a)” (Friis, Bell, & Philibert, 2013). Poverty is a detrimental impact on the maternal health of women in Detroit. With the me ...
Sex education binder
The group identified that a lack of adequate sex education is harmful to students. They believe teaching abstinence-only is not enough, as some teens will not choose abstinence. Their proposed solution is to implement a new, reformed health class that is given an hour each school day. This would decrease teen pregnancy and STDs by providing more comprehensive education about safe sex practices and the consequences of unprotected sex. The class would teach students how to protect themselves regardless of their sexuality. The group believes the federal government should mandate this approach nationwide as issues like STDs are global problems.
Infant Mortality Rate in the US Compared to Sweden
This document compares the infant mortality rates of the United States and Sweden. It finds that the US has a much higher infant mortality rate despite being wealthier and spending more on healthcare. The US rate is 2.5 times higher than Sweden's. The document attributes the US's high rate to factors of high inequality, including income inequality, a large uninsured population, and racial inequality. These inequalities lead to limited access to resources and healthcare, especially among minority and low-income groups.
Dom Final
This document summarizes a report analyzing Medicaid expansion in Florida and Georgia as a policy tool to address health disparities. The report was prepared by students in a domestic health policy workshop. It finds that expanding Medicaid in Florida could reduce health disparities by increasing access to preventative care for uninsured Floridians and minorities. Three options for Medicaid expansion are examined: standard expansion and two alternative models from Michigan and Tennessee. The analysis concludes that Medicaid expansion would likely improve health outcomes in Florida while saving costs compared to the status quo.

Teen Pregnancy A Preventable Epidemic Our natio.docx
Teen Pregnancy: A Preventable Epidemic
Our nation is facing an adolescent reproductive-health crisis, with one in four teenage
girls having a sexually transmitted disease, and one in three becoming pregnant before
the age of 20.1 To address this challenge, teens must be able to obtain confidential and
affordable reproductive-health services. However, anti-choice politicians have stymied
efforts to give teens the tools they need to protect themselves against unintended
pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). We continue to call on lawmakers
– pro-choice and pro-life alike – to work together to achieve real solutions – instead of
divisiveness.
The Facts
In spite of a recent decline, the United States still has the highest rate of teen pregnancy
in the western industrialized world.2 Studies show that the United States’ teen-
pregnancy rate is more than twice that of Canada and Sweden.3
§ Approximately 750,000 young women in the United States become pregnant each
year. Eighty-two percent of teen pregnancies are unplanned 4 and more than a
quarter of those end in abortion.5
§ Teen mothers are less likely to complete school, less likely go to college, more
likely to have large families, and more likely to stay single – increasing the
likelihood that their children will live in poverty.6
§ In addition to other consequences for young women and their children, teen
childbearing costs U.S. taxpayers at least $11 billion annually.7
§ A sexually active teen who does not use contraception has a 90-percent chance of
becoming pregnant within a year.8
Potentially due to factors such as decreased access to health-care services and
information, racial and ethnic disparities persist in the reproductive health of young
Americans.
§ The problem of teen pregnancy is more pronounced in the African-American and
Latino communities, where rates of teen pregnancy are higher than those in
white communities – 15 percent and 14 percent respectively, compared to five
percent.9
2
§ Fifty-three percent of Latina teens and 51 percent of African-American teen girls
will become pregnant at least once before they turn 20. In comparison, only 19
percent of non-Hispanic white teen girls will become pregnant before the age of
20.10
A Failed Approach
Anti-choice lawmakers and advocates seized on this public-health crisis as an
opportunity to enact one of their longtime goals: withhold sex education from young
people in a misguided attempt to discourage them from having sex. Instead, they spent
more than $1 billion in taxpayer funds on “abstinence-only” programs11 – programs that
censor vital health information about contraception and safe sex. The approach has been
a spectacular failure.
§ Research shows that “abstinence-only” programs do not work and that
comprehensive sex-education programs do. In 2007, a report commissioned by
the U.S. Department of H ...

America's Favorite Charities
Americans donated $51.5 billion to the top 10 charities in 2019, representing over 12% of all charitable giving that year. It is important for donors to research charities to see how efficiently they are run and how donations are used. Well-rated charities like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Salvation Army are among Americans' favorite charities. St. Jude provides free medical care to children with over 91/100 rating on Charity Navigator. The Salvation Army received $2 billion in private donations to fund services including thrift stores, homeless outreach, and disaster relief. The YMCA also received over $1 billion to support affordable youth programs and community wellness initiatives.

Teen pregnancy in the United States
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy was founded in 1996 and has its headquarters in Washington D.C. and has nearly 200 organizations and media outlets which serve as partners. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy’s main agenda seeks to improve the lives and future prospects of children and families by ensuring that children are born into stable, two-parent families who have a commitment to and are ready for the demanding task of raising the next generation. Their strategy is aimed at the prevention of teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy among single, young adults by supporting a combination of responsible values and behavior by both men and women and responsible policies in both the public and private sectors. Their actions are aimed at improving child and family well-being therefore reducing the prevalence rate of poverty by providing more opportunities for the teenagers to complete their education or achieve other life goals while advocating for fewer abortions towards the creation of a stronger nation.
Teenage pregnancies have resulted to a total of 273,105 babies who were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a live birth rate of 26.5% per 1,000 women in this age group. There has been a decline in teen pregnancies with a drop of 10% in 2013. The birth rates declined at 13% for women aged 15–17 years, and 8% for women aged 18–19 years (Child Trends, 2014). Still, the U.S. teen pregnancy rate is substantially higher than in other western industrialized nations (Clay, et al, 2012). The national teen pregnancy rate has been declining steadily over the last two decades which has been attributed to the combination of an increased percentage of adolescents who are waiting to have sexual intercourse and the increased use of contraceptives by teens. The teen pregnancy rate includes the pregnancies that end in a live birth, as well as those that end in abortion or miscarriage resulting from fetal loss. In the United States 4 in 10 teens get pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 which leads to the teenagers dropping out of school with more than 50% of teen mothers never completing school. The trends show that less than 10% of the fathers marry the mother of their child and that almost a half of the teen mothers get their second child within the first 24 months since 80% of teens who do not use protective methods have higher chances of becoming pregnant.
Teen birth rates have been declining significantly in the recent years, however, despite these declines, there still exists a lot of disparities that need to be properly addressed (Dessen, 2005). There are substantial disparities that persist in teen birth rates, and teen pregnancy and childbearing which continue to carry significant social and economic costs. In 2013, the Hispanic teen birth rates were still more than two times higher than the rate for ...

Before embarking on a research project, especially one aimed at scoping and defining parameters like the one described for health tech IT, several crucial considerations should be addressed. Here’s a comprehensive guide covering key aspects to ensure a well-structured and successful research initiative:
1. Define Research Objectives and Scope
Clear Objectives: Define specific goals such as understanding market needs, identifying new opportunities, assessing risks, or refining pricing strategies.
Scope Definition: Clearly outline the boundaries of the research in terms of geographical focus, target demographics (e.g., age, socio-economic status), and industry sectors (e.g., healthcare IT).
3. Review Existing Literature and Resources
Literature Review: Conduct a thorough review of existing research, market reports, and relevant literature to build foundational knowledge.
Gap Analysis: Identify gaps in existing knowledge or areas where further exploration is needed.
4. Select Research Methodology and Tools
Methodological Approach: Choose appropriate research methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, or data analytics.
Tools and Resources: Select tools like Google Forms for surveys, analytics platforms (e.g., SimilarWeb, Statista), and expert consultations.
5. Ethical Considerations and Compliance
Ethical Approval: Ensure compliance with ethical guidelines for research involving human subjects.
Data Privacy: Implement measures to protect participant confidentiality and adhere to data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
6. Budget and Resource Allocation
Resource Planning: Allocate resources including time, budget, and personnel required for each phase of the research.
Contingency Planning: Anticipate and plan for unforeseen challenges or adjustments to the research plan.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."

Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
