The documents discuss the importance of prevention in addressing mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders, as well as substance abuse issues. Prevention is described as a multidisciplinary field that studies how to prevent health and social problems. The National Prevention Strategy aims to improve health and quality of life through prevention and wellness. Research shows that prevention programs are cost-effective and can save money compared to treatment costs. Data demonstrates that reducing substance abuse at even small levels can significantly impact lives and save money in healthcare costs. A variety of prevention approaches are discussed at individual, community, and environmental levels.

Introduction
Drug substance has been used rampantly especially in this current generation compared to the past (Zanky, 1989). Despite having health, social and unethical impacts to individuals and society at large, people are continually using them. This paper will be focussing specifically onto alcohol and tobacco. Alcohol is a drink that is in form of a liquid while tobacco is a substance that is consumed through sniffing. According to a research done by world health organization on drug and substance abuse, six million people die as a result of using tobacco while 2.5M people die from alcohol consumption.
However, people still consume it and the governments have not specifically made it illegal. Governments have come up with strategies to reduce alcohol and tobacco use especially among teenagers and low-income earners by increasing duty on them and consequently raise revenues. These revenues would be used to finance early childhood education on the dangerous effects of alcohol and tobacco use.
Effects of alcohol and tobacco
Alcohol and tobacco use have effects on the environment, health, society and t.

Epidemiology and Population Health
Reflect on your nursing practice for a moment. If you could wipe out one illness, what would it be? How would that impact not just an individual patient, but your entire patient population? What would be the long-term benefits of eliminating that one illness?
The eradication of smallpox by 1979 provides an excellent example of this scenario. This eradication came about as a result of global collaborative efforts involving many countries and organizations, as well as the application of epidemiologic methods. In spite of high initial financial costs, it is estimated that millions of dollars continue to be saved around the world each year as a result of the eradication of this disease.
The eradication of smallpox illustrates the rich history of epidemiology and demonstrates the cost/benefits and implications of improving health at the population level. The application of epidemiologic methods and principles to other critical population health issues continues to play an essential role in improving health and health outcomes.
For this Discussion, you will identify a current population health problem, and you will examine how, and if, the problem is being addressed through the application of epidemiologic principles. You will also discuss the cost-effectiveness of dealing with the problem at the population level.
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources, focusing on the smallpox epidemic of the 1960s and 1970s and how health organizations applied principles of epidemiology to eradicate this disease. (See attached file)
In light of this example, consider the cost effectiveness of addressing smallpox at the population level.
Using the Learning Resources, research a current population health problem (local or global). Select one on which to focus for this Discussion.
Think about how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be applied—to address the problem.
What lessons from the use of epidemiology in the eradication of smallpox might be applicable to this selected problem? What are the financial benefits of addressing this issue at the population level as opposed to the individual level?
By tomorrow Wednesday 02/28/18 by 12pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of THREE scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headers as numbered below:

1) Briefly summarize your selected population health problem and describe how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be applied—to address the problem.
2) Are there any lessons learned from the use of epidemiology in the eradication of smallpox that can be applied to your selected problem?
3) Evaluate the cost effectiveness of addressing this health problem at the population level versus the individual level.

The State Tobacco Activities Tracking and Evaluation (STATE) System is an interactive web-based application and data tool providing up-to-date state-level information related to tobacco use. Indicators in STATE present data related to current and former tobacco use, smoking cessation, funding, tobacco-related health costs, and tobacco control policies. The STATE System also serves as a primary data source for many objectives in Healthy People 2020’s Tobacco Use chapter. Currently, there is no common thread between access to information pertaining to Healthy People 2020 objectives and STATE System data. For this reason, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted of the STATE System’s individual reports and static web-content as it relates to Healthy People 2020 objectives. Implications for research and evaluation are intended to educate the Office on Smoking and Health’s staff & colleagues in the states, networks, and territories on identifiable, cross-promotional opportunities that highlight both state and national data.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

The National Prevention
Strategy’s vision is working
together (in partnership with

communities) to work, to
improve the health and quality
of life for individuals, families
and communities by moving the
nation from a focus on sickness
and disease to one based on
prevention and wellness.
4. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
• We are told to vaccinate our children to prevent sickness.
• We buy software to protect/prevent our computers from viruses.
• We wash our hands to prevent the spread of disease.
• But what should we do to prevent tobacco use,
alcohol abuse, and illicit drug use?
Why is prevention important?

5. Leading Change: A Plan for SAMHSA’s Roles and Actions 2011–2014
“like physical illnesses, mental and substance use
disorders cost money and lives if they are not
prevented, are left untreated, or are poorly
managed.”
Mental health and physical health are inseparable
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) states:
6. • By 2020, behavioral health disorders will surpass all physical
diseases as a major cause of disability worldwide.
• In 2008, an estimated 9.8 million adults aged 18 and older in the
United States had a serious mental illness.
• Two million youth aged 12 to 17 had a major depressive episode
during the past year.
• In 2009, an estimated 23.5 million Americans aged 12 and older
needed treatment for substance use.
The impact on America’s children, adults,
and communities is enormous:
7. Prevention is like a speed bump to
promote health and safety in communities
The goals are to slow down
the age of onset of
substance use for youth
Prevention works to change
community conditions to
prevent the use of
substances by youth
8. • ½ of all lifetime cases of mental and substance use
disorders begin by age 14 and ¾ by age 24.7
• In a single year in the United States, suicide was responsible
for the deaths of over 32,000 people of all ages.
• Several decades of evidence consistently suggests that as
many as 90 percent of individuals who do complete suicide
experience a mental or substance use disorder, or both.

public are vastly overshadowed by the
adverse consequences of their use.
• Federal and state alcohol taxes raise $14.5 billion, covering
only about 6% of alcohol’s total cost to society.
• Federal and state tobacco taxes raise $25 billion, covering
only about 13% of tobacco’s total cost to society.

13. Research shows that prevention programs not only
prevent substance abuse there is also a potential
cost savings as a result of its implementation.
• Every $1 spent on Substance Abuse Prevention saves between $2 to
$20 (in benefits).
(benefits are estimates of savings over a period of time resulting
from reduced demand for health and social services)
• Despite differences in demographics, regions of the country, and
different program strategies, every study consistently found
benefits of substance abuse prevention outweigh costs by at least
2 to 1.

14. Prevention is a science
• Over the last 50 years prevention has
changed from the use of scare tactics,

18. State tobacco prevention efforts has saved
significant amounts of money
• California ~ Every $1 spent on tobacco prevention from 1989
to 2004 = $10’s of dollars in savings in reductions to total
healthcare costs
• Arizona ~ Savings of $2.3 billion between 1996 and 2004 about
ten times the cost of the program
• Lifetime healthcare costs of smokers total at least $16,000
more than nonsmokers
For every 1000 kids kept from smoking, future healthcare costs in the state
decline by approximately $16 million.
For every 1000 adults prompted to quit smoking future health costs drop by
approx. $8.5 million.

19. 1% reductions saves lives and money
• A 1% reduction in youth smoking SAVES 16,000 kids from ever smoking
(healthcare savings over their lifetime of more than one quarter of a
billion dollars)
• A 1% reduction in adult smoking (more than 30,000 adults have quit smoking in an
average size state) will realize savings over their lifetimes of more than one
quarter of a billion dollars in reduced smoking-caused healthcare costs.)
• If every state funded tobacco prevention efforts at the minimum amount
recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), the related reductions in youth smoking would lock in future
reductions in smoking-caused healthcare costs of more than $31 billion.

The average effective school-based prevention program in 2002 cost $220 per
pupil including materials and teacher training. These programs could have
save an estimated $18 per $1 invested if implemented nationwide. Which
equals a savings of $3,960 per student
Nationwide, full implementation of school-based effective prevention programming in
2002 would have had the following fiscal impact:
Saved State and local governments $1.3 billion, including $1.05 billion in
educational costs within 2 years
Reduced social costs of substance-abuse–related medical care, other
resources, and lost productivity over a lifetime by an estimated $33.5 billion
Preserved the quality of life over a lifetime valued at $65 billion

Editor's Notes
PREVENTION SAVES LIVES & MONEY
The National Prevention Strategy is a comprehensive plan that will help increase the number of Americans who are healthy at every stage of life. A focus on prevention will offer an opportunity to not only improve the health of Americans, but also help to reduce health care costs and improve quality of care. The National Prevention Strategy has 4 strategic directions: Healthy and safe community, environments, Clinical and community preventive services, Empowered people, Elimination of health disparities The National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council (National Prevention Council), called for by the Affordable Care Act, provides coordination and leadership at the federal level and among all executive agencies regarding prevention, wellness, and health promotion practices. It is composed of the heads of 17 federal agencies and chaired by Surgeon General Regina Benjamin.
With input from the public and interested stakeholders, the council developed a National Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy (National Prevention Strategy). The strategy provides an unprecedented opportunity to shift the nation from a focus on sickness and disease to one based on wellness and prevention. It presents a vision, goals, recommendations, and action items that individuals and public, private, and non-profit organizations can use to reduce preventable death, disease, and disability in the United States.
National Prevention Council Milestones
On June 10, 2010 the President signed an Executive Order creating the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council.
On January 26, 2011 President Obama announced the appointment of 13 people to serve as members of the Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health, with an additional two members announced on April 8, 2011.
On June 16, 2011 the National Prevention Strategy was released. Everyone—businesses, educators, health care institutions, government, communities and every single American—has a role in creating a healthier nation
Ben Franklin quote1726
Per Leading Change: A Plan for SAMHSA’s Roles and Actions 2011–2014
Substance abuse, addictions, poor emotional health, and mental illnesses take a toll on individuals, families, and communities. They cost money, and they cost lives, as do physical illnesses that are not prevented, are left untreated, or are poorly managed
Prevention is like a speed bump to promote health and safety in communities. The goals are to slow down the age of onset of substance use for youth. Much like the use of changes made to promote highway safety (e.g. Stop signs/lights at intersections, crosswalks for pedestrians, speed signs posted, mandatory seatbelt laws) prevention works to change community conditions to prevent the use of substances by youth. Much like car crashes cost society lives and money, so does substance abuse. We have accepted speed bumps and seatbelts into our lives, now let us show you how prevention can make a difference in your community.
Per National Prevention Strategy 2011
Alcohol - Excessive alcohol use is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States among all adult age groups, contributing to more than 79,000 deaths per year.153 The alcohol-related death rate for American Indians and Alaska Natives is six times the national average. 154
Tobbaco- Cigarette smoking, which is the most common form of tobacco use, causes approximately 443,000 deaths in the U.S.
Drug disorders- Prescription drug abuse is our nation’s fastest growing drug problem.159 In a typical month, approximately 5.3 million Americans use a prescription pain reliever for nonmedical reasons. Chronic drug use, crime and incarceration are inextricably connected.162 At least half of both state and Federal inmates were active drug users at the time of their offense. Drugs other than alcohol (i.e., illicit, prescription, or over- the-counter drugs) are detected in about 18 percent of motor vehicle driver deaths.1
Historically, cost-benefit analyses have enabled policy and program managers to make informed decisions about resource allocations for substance abuse treatment policies, programs, and practices. Such analyses also can inform decision making for substance abuse prevention.
Who pays for substance abuse, taxes do not cover lost, productivity
.
…
Public Health Model definition. The Public Health Model demonstrates that problems arise through relationships and interactions among an Agent (e.g. the substance, like alcohol or drugs ), a host ( the individual drinker or drug user) and the environment ( the social and physical context of substance use). ) Prevention looks at the relationships between the person the, the substance, and the person in their environment.
The Strategic Prevention Framework Steps
*Assess their prevention needs based on epidemiological data,
*Build their prevention capacity,
*Develop a strategic plan,
*Implement effective community prevention programs, policies and practices,
**and Evaluate their efforts for outcomes.
Throughout all five steps, implementers of the SPF must address issues of sustainability and cultural competence.
Alcoholic beverages have been among the most widely used psychoactive substances by American young people for a very long time.
In 2011 all measures of alcohol use—lifetime, annual, 30-day, and binge drinking in the prior two weeks—reached historic lows over the life of the study, following a long period of gradual declines.
