Three models of disability are outlined:
Medical-Functional- Social
Examples of Other Social Models:
Legal rights model – protection of basic individual rights
Minority group model – similar experience of racial minorities
Affirmation model – positive identity rather than a personal tragedy
What is Nagi Model?
The Disabling Process. Focuses on functional limitations and disability rather than on pathology and
cure. >> as functional model

Definitions of Disability and Eligibility:
The differences mean that someone may be eligible for services under one definition and program,
but not under another program because of its differing definition.
Three Eligibility for Services:
Categorical Eligibility: An individual must meet the criteria for that category eg:blindness or
deafness.
Eligibility Based on Functioning: day to day functioning of the person.
Eligibility Based on Income: Many programs have an income eligibility guideline.
Five Domains of Federal Policies and Programs:
Biology – behavior- social environment -physical environment- Access to quality Health care
Goal is to improve people’s social environment. Seven main categories:
(2E + CHINA >T) Education -Employment- Civil Rights-Housing -Income maintenance -NutritionTransportation
Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN)
Defined as “those who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, development, behavioral
or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond
that required by children generally.”

several strategies in order to impact all conditions
Theories of Health Behavior Change and Health Promotion Programs for People with Disabilities:
1-Transtheoretical Model: integrates stages of change and processes of change
has Five Stages of Change:
1- precontemplation 2- contemplation 3- preparation 4- action5- maintenance
2-Social Cognitive Theory :
SCT has three components:1- social environment2-a person’s cognition3-and present behavior
3-Ecological Models of Health Behavior :This model’s premise is that a person’s behaviors are
influenced by the person’s relationships, culture, and physical environment
Two health promotion models for people with disabilities:
1. Patrick model :Four planes of experience
Used the describe context (environment , opportunity the disabling process and quality of life)
2. Stuifbergen model : Contextual, attitudinal and behavioral factors influence quality of life.

Economic impact of accidents athnes 9 5-2014Zoi Tsapou
Road traffic accidents have a significant economic impact on healthcare systems globally. According to WHO data, 1.2 million people die annually in road accidents, costing over $500 billion. Low and middle income countries account for 90% of deaths and half of fatalities are among those aged 15-44. The costs of accidents exceed development assistance for some poorer countries. Road accidents also have substantial social costs through loss of income, increased poverty, and psychological trauma for victims and families. Reducing accidents could save lives and free up resources for healthcare systems and economic development.
Road traffic accidents represent a major public health problem globally and in India. They are one of the leading causes of death, especially among young people. Other common accidents include falls, burns, drownings, and poisonings. Prevention strategies are needed that address human behaviors like speeding, alcohol use, as well as improving infrastructure like road safety and reducing access to poisons. Collecting accurate data on accidents is important to identify risk factors and evaluate prevention programs.
Due to increased urbanisation and motorisation, the road transport sector has become instrumental in the development of the world economy. However, this has left the society and the environment with negative impacts, otherwise refer to as negative externalities. One of the most obvious evidence of these external costs is the road traffic accidents (RTAs). RTAs have physical, social, emotional and economic implications. To address these implications, the international community has responded with series of programmes and policies. However, RTAs have continue to claim the lives and property of people of especially developing countries who, unlike their developed counterparts, have not been successful in implementing programmes and policies that drastically reduce the prevalence of RTAs. In this study, we highlighted the importance of social marketing in addressing the lingering problems of RTAs in Nigeria. We provided some practical examples on how marketing concepts could be applied in addressing the social aspect of these issues and maintain safer driving. We believe that social marketing will be (and remains) the only option to overcoming RTAs and their attendant health, economic, environmental and social challenges in, especially, developing countries where RTAs are a major problem.
Road traffic injuries are a major public health issue, killing over 1.2 million people annually. Low and middle income countries account for 90% of road traffic deaths, with young adults and males being most at risk. Without intervention, road traffic deaths are predicted to increase globally by 67% by 2020. Road traffic injuries impose enormous economic costs and often plunge families into poverty. However, road traffic crashes can be prevented through a systems approach that addresses road infrastructure, vehicle safety, and laws regarding speed limits, seatbelts, and alcohol impairment. A multisectoral effort is needed to implement effective road safety policies and interventions.
Road crashes are a major cause of death globally and in the Philippines. Each year over 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes worldwide, with most deaths occurring in low and middle income countries like the Philippines. In the Philippines, road crashes are the 4th leading cause of death. Metro Manila sees over 240 road crashes per day resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands injured annually. The economic and social costs of road crashes amount to billions of pesos each year in the Philippines. Proper interventions targeting risk factors like speeding, lack of restraint use, non-use of helmets, and drunk driving have been shown to significantly reduce road crashes and deaths.
The document provides a global overview of road safety and road traffic injuries. Key points:
- Over 1.2 million people die each year from road traffic crashes, and between 20-50 million suffer non-fatal injuries. Road traffic injuries are one of the top three causes of death among people aged 15-29.
- Low and middle income countries account for over 90% of road fatalities but only 48% of the world's vehicles. These countries have higher road traffic death rates than high income countries.
- Vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists account for nearly half of total road traffic deaths globally.
This document discusses epidemiology of road traffic accidents. It provides definitions of road traffic accidents and some key facts such as road accidents being a global problem that disproportionately impact low and middle income countries. Speeding, drinking and driving, lack of helmet and seatbelt use, and poor road infrastructure are identified as major risk factors. The document also outlines the epidemiological triad of host, agent, and environmental factors in road accidents. It discusses the burden of road accidents in India and provides data on deaths by type of road users and vehicles. Prevention strategies covered include education, legislation around drinking and driving, helmet and seatbelt use, speed management, and improving trauma care systems.

The document discusses road traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia. It notes that Saudi Arabia has one of the highest rates of death due to road traffic accidents in the world at 25.33 per 100,000 people. The ratio of accidents to deaths in Saudi Arabia is also high at 32:1 compared to 283:1 in the US. The most common cause of road traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia is excessive speeding. Family physicians can play an important role by raising awareness, coordinating with other groups, and establishing road safety committees.
Road traffic accidents are a major public health issue globally. Over 1.2 million people die each year in road accidents worldwide, with low and middle income countries disproportionately affected. Risk factors include excessive speed, alcohol use, poor road infrastructure, and lack of safety measures like seatbelts and helmets. Prevention requires a multisectoral approach including strict enforcement of traffic laws, improved road design, safer vehicles, and public education campaigns.
The document summarizes road accident statistics and causes in Bangladesh. It finds that over 5,000 people die annually from road accidents in Bangladesh, one of the highest rates in the world. Common causes of accidents include reckless driving, untrained drivers, unfit vehicles, and lack of safety infrastructure like separate lanes. The most frequent accident types are head-on collisions, loss of control, rear-end collisions, and hitting objects on or off the road. Improving road safety requires both direct measures like road infrastructure upgrades and indirect measures like controlling speed and improving driver training.
Post-crash Response - UN (Nações Unidas - ONU)EasySonho
The document discusses the key components of an effective post-crash response system for supporting those affected by road traffic crashes. It outlines five pillars of road safety, with pillar five focusing on post-crash response. An effective post-crash response requires integration of emergency medical care, mental health services, legal support, and crash data collection to address the various physical, psychological, and economic needs of crash survivors and their families in both the short and long-term.
Road traffic injuries: Post-2015 Challenges in Nigeria by Dr. Nzechukwu Micha...Nze Michael Isiozor
Road traffic injuries are a major public health issue in Nigeria, constituting one of the top three causes of death for those aged 5-44. In 2013, an estimated 35,641 deaths occurred due to road traffic accidents in Nigeria. Contributing factors include speeding, drinking and driving, poor vehicle roadworthiness, and inadequate infrastructure such as potholes and lack of proper signage. Potential solutions proposed include establishing and enforcing legislation around drunk driving and seatbelt use, improving emergency response services, increasing public health education, and collaborating internationally on research and planning.
Global road traffic deaths are rising despite commitments to reduce them. Three key points are made:
1) Over 3,500 people are killed daily in road crashes, costing 3% of global GDP. Low and middle income countries see twice the fatality rates of wealthier nations.
2) The UN's decade of action and sustainable development goals aim to halve road deaths and injuries by 2020, but progress has stalled or reversed in many places like the EU and US.
3) A paradigm shift is needed towards a "safe systems" approach that recognizes human fallibility and shares responsibility across road and vehicle design. Proven technologies like electronic stability control must be accelerated to reverse rising fatality trends by 20
Road traffic accidents and their impact on economic growth in Mogadishu, SomaliaIRJET Journal
This document discusses a study on the causes and economic impacts of road traffic accidents in Mogadishu, Somalia. The study used questionnaires and interviews with drivers, pedestrians, accident victims, and business owners in Mogadishu. It found that the level of accidents in Mogadishu is very high and causing loss of lives and property damage. Key factors contributing to accidents included night driving, narrow roads, and poor road construction and planning. It was determined that vehicle repair costs and medical costs have the highest economic impact. The study recommends improving road conditions, designs, and enforcement of traffic laws to reduce accidents in Mogadishu.
1) Road safety has become linked to broader sustainable development goals like reducing poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The large health and economic losses from road crashes makes safety a priority in low and middle-income countries.
2) A goal has been set to stabilize and reduce forecast road fatalities in low and middle-income countries by 2020, which could save 5 million lives. Indonesia and East Java face a growing crisis of death and injury on roads.
3) Strong institutional leadership, strategy, and accountability are needed to improve safety. A lead agency should have a clearly defined focus on results and coordinate multi-agency partnerships to achieve safety goals.
Towards Reducing the Number of Traffic Accidents in Khartoum State (Republic of Sudan)
The study identifies the causes of traffic accidents in Khartoum state and ways to minimize them. A questionnaire was distributed to collect feedback from the public on the causes of accidents and most effective reduction methods. The top causes identified were reckless driving, driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, and lack of respect for traffic rules. Application of vehicle and road safety standards was found to be lacking. Suggestions to improve safety included increasing enforcement of traffic laws and infrastructure improvements like adding lanes, traffic lights, and pedestrian crossings.
This document discusses epidemiology of injuries and accidents, including types, risk factors, and prevention strategies. It provides an overview of common accidents like road traffic accidents, domestic accidents, industrial accidents, and more. Risk factors for road traffic accidents discussed include speed, drink-driving, distracted driving, and more. The document then provides statistical data on road accidents in India and discusses measures to prevent accidents like safety education, promotion of safety measures, controlling alcohol and drugs, improving emergency response, and more. Prevention strategies for different types of domestic and industrial accidents are also outlined.

- 1.2 million people die each year in road traffic accidents, averaging 3242 daily deaths worldwide. 20-50 million more are injured or disabled.
- 90% of traffic deaths occur in low and middle-income countries, where roads are less safe and medical care is less accessible.
- Road accidents are predicted to rise to the 8th leading cause of death by 2030 if no action is taken, with an 83% increase in deaths projected in low-and middle-income nations.
- The total global economic cost is estimated at $518 billion annually, exceeding development assistance received by many
Determining the Factors of Slow Adoption of Information and Communication Tec...Jasfia Khanam Fama
This document summarizes a report on determining the factors of slow adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) in healthcare sectors in Bangladesh. The report conducted surveys at several hospitals to understand the current use of ICT and barriers to adoption. Key findings include that while most hospitals use ICT for billing and test results, few use it for scheduling, prescriptions or patient records. Costs of implementation and maintenance as well as physician reluctance were seen as major barriers to greater ICT adoption in healthcare. The report provides analysis of survey responses regarding these and other factors that influence ICT adoption in the healthcare sector.
The document discusses setting up mobile emergency/neurosurgical units (MEU/MNU) that can rapidly deploy to disaster sites to provide urgent medical care. It proposes having MEU/MNUs located near disaster-prone regions that can reach sites within 24 hours using transport helicopters. The units would include a portable operating room, imaging equipment, generators and supplies to perform neurosurgery and treat trauma patients. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies could establish and support several MEU/MNU sites around the world. Telemedicine capabilities would allow remote consultation with specialists during disasters.

The document reports on a trauma center in Sirsa by Dr. Jaideep Kumar. It defines trauma and a trauma center, noting that trauma is a leading cause of death globally and in India. Road traffic accidents, violence, and natural disasters contribute greatly to trauma cases. The development of trauma centers was in response to this high trauma burden, with the goal of minimizing time between injury and treatment to improve survival rates. Planning parameters for an effective trauma center include proper location and layout, relationships with other departments, traffic flow considerations, and adequate waiting areas.
Secondary conditions refer to medical conditions that are regarded as having led to impairment in functioning for a person with a disability. Federal Policies and Programs for People with Disabilities are described as not complicated. The social model of public health for disability can help create health promotion opportunities for the disabled community through adapted physical activity programs, equipment and facilities.
- Road traffic injuries are a major public health issue that disproportionately affect vulnerable groups like the poor. Over 1.2 million people die in road accidents each year globally.
- The costs of road traffic injuries, including lost productivity and economic losses, amount to 1-2% of GDP for many low and middle-income countries.
- Effective interventions exist to reduce road traffic injuries, including enforcing speed limits and drunk driving laws, mandating seatbelt and helmet use, and safer road and vehicle design. Reducing injuries can contribute to attaining UN Millennium Development Goals.
- A multisectoral response is needed involving health, transport, education and other sectors to strengthen data, provide care, advocate

Towards Reducing the Number of Traffic Accidents in Khartoum State (Republic of Sudan)
The study identifies the causes of traffic accidents in Khartoum state and ways to minimize them. A questionnaire was distributed to collect feedback from the public on the causes of accidents and most effective reduction methods. The top causes identified were reckless driving, driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, and lack of respect for traffic rules. Application of vehicle and road safety standards was found to be lacking. Suggestions to improve safety included increasing enforcement of traffic laws and infrastructure improvements like adding lanes, traffic lights, and pedestrian crossings.
This document discusses epidemiology of injuries and accidents, including types, risk factors, and prevention strategies. It provides an overview of common accidents like road traffic accidents, domestic accidents, industrial accidents, and more. Risk factors for road traffic accidents discussed include speed, drink-driving, distracted driving, and more. The document then provides statistical data on road accidents in India and discusses measures to prevent accidents like safety education, promotion of safety measures, controlling alcohol and drugs, improving emergency response, and more. Prevention strategies for different types of domestic and industrial accidents are also outlined.

- 1.2 million people die each year in road traffic accidents, averaging 3242 daily deaths worldwide. 20-50 million more are injured or disabled.
- 90% of traffic deaths occur in low and middle-income countries, where roads are less safe and medical care is less accessible.
- Road accidents are predicted to rise to the 8th leading cause of death by 2030 if no action is taken, with an 83% increase in deaths projected in low-and middle-income nations.
- The total global economic cost is estimated at $518 billion annually, exceeding development assistance received by many
Determining the Factors of Slow Adoption of Information and Communication Tec...Jasfia Khanam Fama
This document summarizes a report on determining the factors of slow adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) in healthcare sectors in Bangladesh. The report conducted surveys at several hospitals to understand the current use of ICT and barriers to adoption. Key findings include that while most hospitals use ICT for billing and test results, few use it for scheduling, prescriptions or patient records. Costs of implementation and maintenance as well as physician reluctance were seen as major barriers to greater ICT adoption in healthcare. The report provides analysis of survey responses regarding these and other factors that influence ICT adoption in the healthcare sector.
The document discusses setting up mobile emergency/neurosurgical units (MEU/MNU) that can rapidly deploy to disaster sites to provide urgent medical care. It proposes having MEU/MNUs located near disaster-prone regions that can reach sites within 24 hours using transport helicopters. The units would include a portable operating room, imaging equipment, generators and supplies to perform neurosurgery and treat trauma patients. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies could establish and support several MEU/MNU sites around the world. Telemedicine capabilities would allow remote consultation with specialists during disasters.

The document reports on a trauma center in Sirsa by Dr. Jaideep Kumar. It defines trauma and a trauma center, noting that trauma is a leading cause of death globally and in India. Road traffic accidents, violence, and natural disasters contribute greatly to trauma cases. The development of trauma centers was in response to this high trauma burden, with the goal of minimizing time between injury and treatment to improve survival rates. Planning parameters for an effective trauma center include proper location and layout, relationships with other departments, traffic flow considerations, and adequate waiting areas.
Secondary conditions refer to medical conditions that are regarded as having led to impairment in functioning for a person with a disability. Federal Policies and Programs for People with Disabilities are described as not complicated. The social model of public health for disability can help create health promotion opportunities for the disabled community through adapted physical activity programs, equipment and facilities.
- Road traffic injuries are a major public health issue that disproportionately affect vulnerable groups like the poor. Over 1.2 million people die in road accidents each year globally.
- The costs of road traffic injuries, including lost productivity and economic losses, amount to 1-2% of GDP for many low and middle-income countries.
- Effective interventions exist to reduce road traffic injuries, including enforcing speed limits and drunk driving laws, mandating seatbelt and helmet use, and safer road and vehicle design. Reducing injuries can contribute to attaining UN Millennium Development Goals.
- A multisectoral response is needed involving health, transport, education and other sectors to strengthen data, provide care, advocate

Injuries could equal more than 50 million a year.
Injuries represent
❖ 12% of the global burden of disease
❖ third most prominent cause of overall mortality
❖ main cause of death for 1 – 40 year olds
In low income countries, road traffic fatalities is among pedestrians, cyclists, occupants of
buses, occupants of two-wheeled vehicles.
In high income countries, fatalities are among occupants of cars.
This document discusses chronic diseases and their control. It notes that chronic diseases have replaced infectious diseases as the leading causes of death in the United States. Chronic diseases are characterized by uncertain causes, multiple risk factors, long development periods, and disability rather than cure. The document outlines the continuum of chronic disease from upstream social determinants to behavioral risks to conditions to diseases to impairment. It provides examples of how chronic diseases and their risk factors are interrelated and complex. Effective control requires addressing many determinants and preventing progression along the continuum.
Epidemiology is the study of disease patterns in populations. Most chronic disease studies use observational designs that can introduce errors like bias, measurement errors, and confounding factors. While randomized controlled trials provide the most scientific evidence, they are often impractical for chronic disease research. Observational cohort studies are commonly used instead to measure disease rates, risk factors, and outcomes over time, though they cannot prove causation. Accounting for different sources of error and bias is important for evaluating the quality of chronic disease epidemiology studies.

Risk in road traffic is a function of four things:
Risk comes as a result of various factors:
• Human error within the traffic system
• Size and nature of the kinetic energy of the impact
• Tolerance of the individual to the impact
• Quality and availability of care after the accident
Factors influencing exposure to risk:
(1) Rapid motorization:
(2) Demographics:
- In developed countries, more drivers will be over 65 in the coming years.
- In developing countries, older drivers rely on public transportation or are pedestrians and
cyclists.

(3) Transport, land use and road network planning:
- Good road network planning can affect property values, economic activity, crime and health.
(4) Increased need for travel:
- All growing cities experience a shift in populations from inside the city center to suburbs.
- City and road planners need to take this trend into consideration.
- most dangerous form of travel is as a rider on a two-wheeler.
- Public transportation is far safer than car travel.

Increasing helmet use Using a helmet can reduce the risk of death by 40%.
Reducing drink-driving The young and commercial drivers are at greater risk.
Increasing seat belt use Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of a fatality by 45-50%.
Increasing child restraint use Sitting in the back of the car greatly reduces a child’s death or

Chapter 4 (Interventions)
Risk exposure can be reduced by:
- Reducing the volume of traffic through land use design (high-density, compact buildings)
- Making efficient networks where shortest routes coincide with the safest routes
- Moving from high to low risk forms of transportation >>>> public transport & trains زي
- Restrictions on motor vehicle users, vehicles and on road infrastructure
three prime elements for traffic systems:
(1) Shaping the road network for RTI prevention:
Incorporating safety features into road design as fellow:
Design Character
Higher speed roads no contact between motorized and non-motorized
Single-lane carriageways In rural areas & characterized by speed limits and median barriers
Residential access roads very low speed – 30 km/h
Area-wide urban safety
management
Traffic calming measures 30 km/h & 60 % reduction in RTIs
Safety audits
Crash-protective roadsides
(2) Providing visible, crash-protective“ ,smart” vehicles:
1- Improving visibility – daytime running lights (reduction of 13 % of RTIs & 10 – 15 % of
death rate among pedestrians)
2- High-mounted stop lamps in cars
3- Day time lights for two-wheelers
4- Crash-protective vehicle design (most effective strategy.)

Three models of disability:
(A) Medical Models of Disability:
(1) General Approach
- disability resulting from disease, trauma or other health condition.
- Conceptualizes disability as a condition or deficit
- a disabled person is sick ,and therefore exempt from regular social interactions.
- the person is sick and therefore can be cured with the right treatment.
(2) Analysis of the Medical Model:
- Main focus >> to find a cure.
- controlling, eliminating, or deceasing the condition or its symptoms.
- Reducing disability makes it easy to overlook the role that society, environment and politics.
- Using a strictly medical approach ignores too many other factors.
(3) Implications for Public Health:
- puts the emphasis for public health programming and policy development on the prevention of
the disability. e.g. birth defect prevention campaigns
- helpful for determining who is eligible for governmental services.
(B) Functional Model of Disability:
(1) General Approach
- focus that the disabled person is lacking in some way. جسده في ما لوظيفة فاقد
- defines Disability as what the person cannot do, what functions they cannot perform ,i.e .
moving.
- organize disabilities according to the services the disabled person need to function.
Medical Functional Social
25. DR/ Mahmoud Moufeed )وتداولها نشرها أحلل (ال 00201098273854
(2) Analysis of the Functional Model
- the functional model creates a dichotomy that says there are“ normal ”people and“ abnormal ”
people.
- Delivering services based on disability can be cumbersome >> since what is not a disability in
one setting could be a disability in another setting. لمجتمع مجتمع من بتختلف
(3) Implications for Public Health
- creates a dilemma on how to approach programming.
- focus on prevention of the disability or prevention of disability-creating behaviors.
(C) Social Models of Disability:
(1) General Approach
- focus on what problems people encounter in their environment.
- the limitations are caused by how the environment is constructed not by the person’s
disabilities. بالبيئة تتحدد e.g a quadriplegic with altered environment at work and in public
transportation
- Disability is a social construct. & emerges out of a societal prejudice that puts a person with an
impairment at a disadvantage.
Other Social Models:
(2) Analysis of the social model:
disabled community creates a hierarchy of disabilities >> creating the same oppression within
the disabled community.
(3) Implications for Public Health
Legal rights model protection of basic individual
rights
Minority group model similar experience of racial
minorities
Affirmation model positive identity rather than a
personal tragedy
26. DR/ Mahmoud Moufeed )وتداولها نشرها أحلل (ال 00201098273854
- Public health intervention has to include dimensions outside a population.
- can help create health promotion opportunities e.g. physical activity program.
N.B:
• The Nagi Model – The Disabling Process. Focuses on functional limitations and
disability rather than on pathology and cure. >> as functional model.

Public Health and Disability during Disasters:
- Emergency >> first responders are sometimes ill-equipped to help people with disabilities.
- More communication is needed between disability organizations and first responders.
- e.g. California wildfires (2004).
Moving from Exclusion to Empowerment:
- to reduce the tension >> be sure to use correct terminology for people in the disability
community.
- People with disabilities resist the term“ special ” & participate more widely in the community
at large.
The Role of Person and Environment:
- public health professionals >> must increase the individual’s personal capacity to perform an
activity.
- Person Factors are run against Environment Factors. الشرح من راجعها
- e.g. physical environment factor: how accessible public transportation is for use during an
emergency for someone with a disability. لها المعاقين واستخدام العامة المواصالت
