This study explored barriers and facilitators for mental health professionals (MHPs) addressing smoking with patients using the COM-B model of behavior. Interviews were conducted with 36 MHPs in England. The results identified several barriers across all domains of the COM-B model undermining MHPs practice regarding smoking cessation, including lack of psychological capability to recall training, lack of physical opportunity due to time constraints, and lack of social opportunity due to increased cultural value of tobacco after smoke-free policies. Few facilitators were identified. The study highlights the lack of physical opportunity community MHPs feel in discussing smoking due to time constraints and inability to monitor patients' progress with limited contact.

Critical Appraisal: Sanitation and Hospital Acquired Infection
Introduction
The clinical issue at hand is the consideration of the general population as an issue in the effective management of prevention measures. In that way raising the question of the management of the patient population and the risk of exposure to affects both the nursing community and the patients. This is especially important in understanding the inconvenience created by a specific demographic of patients such as tobacco and nicotine users. The main issue at hand is focused on is the cleaning staff whose actions affect patients. In intention to understand this aspect, the question is the personal motivation in curing and the need for information dissemination. This is necessary for the general population to understand the symptoms and gain more knowledge of common diseases. This paper will look at two peers reviewed qualitative research articles to understand the findings and its contribution to this research question in the context of nursing practice. Additionally, there will be a discussion on the ethical considerations at institutional and individual participation levels to the article’s contribution in the improvement of care delivery and improved outcomes by establishing a purpose.
Qualitative Study Background of Study
Developing technology means there are developing issue in other parts including the type of sanitation that can be available in the hospital and the clinic. Therefore, the likelihood of the increased need for efficiency in prevention is considered through the identification of alternative to smoking in healthcare facilities.
Article 1: Replacement Therapy in Smoking Cessation
According to the article, Buller et al. (2014), there is a need to understand that smoking as a vice affect the 18-30-year-old adult population and therefore, in trying to prevent the issue at hand in a healthcare setting, the consideration of using a patch is necessary. Regarding this, the paper addresses the issue of the effectiveness of nicotine patch in smoking cessation and thus provision of an opportunity to help in smoking cessation. Given this, the article supports the preferential treatment to smoking as replacement therapy especially in young adults who are the prevalent population in the U.S. Therefore the questions raised are:
· Identification of an alternative method of smoke cessation
· The effectiveness of replacement therapy in helping cessation of smoking in the identified population.
In consideration of this, the purpose and the research question were related to the same problem by taking into account the intervention, the population affected, the existing systems, a ...
Perceived feasibility of a primary care intervention
The document discusses a qualitative study that explored the perceived feasibility of a Tobacco Cessation on Prescription (TCP) intervention in Swedish primary care, targeting disadvantaged groups. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 participants, including tobacco users, healthcare providers, and experts in lifestyle interventions. Interviewees suggested that TCP should include the client's information, evidence-based cessation options and choices for follow-up. They also proposed including empowerment and planning tools, as well as information on the health benefits of quitting. Perceived advantages of TCP included increased motivation to quit and support from the healthcare system. Providers saw advantages related to improved documentation and treatment facilitation. Disadvantages were mainly connected to future implementation challenges. Overall

This document describes a theory-based behavior change intervention to help smokers quit and manage peptic ulcers. Smoking increases the risk of peptic ulcers by damaging the gastrointestinal mucosa. The intervention uses the Theory of Planned Behavior to target attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control to increase smokers' intention to quit. Behavior change techniques like practice and feedback are applied based on the model's constructs of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control to help smokers develop the intention and confidence to quit smoking and better manage their peptic ulcers. The intervention and behavior change techniques aim to increase self-reflection and self-efficacy to support long-term smoking cessation.

Risks of Smoking
Introduction
The Article
Grassi, M.C., Baraldo, M., Chiamulera, C., Culasso, F., Raupach, T., Ferketich, A.K., Patrono, C., & Nencini, P. (2014). Knowledge about health effects of cigarette smoking and quitting among Italian university students: The importance of teaching nicotine dependence and treatment in the medical curriculum. BioMed Research International, 2014(321657), 1-9.
Research Problem
Cigarette smoking causes more avoidable mortalities in the developed world than any other risky behavior. It is also blamed for about 22% of deaths attributed to cancer annually, worldwide. In Italy, there are around 11 million current smokers, all of whom are adults and form 20.7% of the country’s gross adult population. 695,000 people die in Europe annually as a result of diseases linked to smoking. The authors had previously carried out a study whose findings showed that 4th year Italian undergraduate medical students are not adequately knowledgeable about the role of doctors in facilitating smoking cessation, tobacco dependence, and pathologies linked to smoking. Analysis of these results can be strengthened further by juxtaposing them with survey results in which respondents are nonmedical undergraduates. Medical students are naturally expected to be more informed about tobacco use and smoking cessation compared to their nonmedical counterparts, especially since health advocacy is one of their primary roles. Currently, however, there is a knowledge gap because surveys assessing nonmedical undergraduates’ understanding of tobacco are scarce at best.
Research Question and Research Objectives
The paper has no research question. The research objectives are, however, three-pronged. First, the authors intend to ascertain the consistency of their earlier findings. Second, the current study is aimed at determining if similarly-aged nonmedical undergraduates have varying interpretations and attitudes concerning smoking as opposed to medical undergraduates. The third objective is to scrutinize the smoking status of medical undergraduates as well as their knowledge retention one and two years after a brief educational intervention.
Initial Results and Methods
Respondents were required to fill a questionnaire containing 60 items. Each of the items revolved around participants’ awareness of the epide ...

PICOT Question: In cigarette smokers whose ages are more than 17 years (P), does nicotine substitution treatment (I), as opposed to utilizing other smoking discontinuation treatments (C) influence smoking end results (O) over a time of a quarter of a year (T)?
Background
There are numerous quantitative studies relating to the topic of nicotine substitution treatment as a therapy for smoking. Two examples of such studies are High-Risk Smoking Behavior and Barriers to Smoking Cessation Among Homeless Individuals by Chen, Nguyen, Malesker, and Morrow (2016), and Effect of Nicotine Replacement Therapy on Quitting by Young Adults in a trial Comparison Cessation services by Buller et al., (2014). Noting the high major challenge in ending nicotine smoking is an addiction, the researchers in these two studies aim to understand how this bottleneck can be addressed. In the first research, the authors note the high risk of smoking among homeless persons, hence a need to study the factors that elevate smoking behaviors and bar smoking cessation among these individuals. In the second study, the researcher notes how despite the high number of young adult smokers, they rarely use or seek medication for smoking, hence evaluate how effective nicotine replacement therapy is effective in ending smoking among this population. Comment by ESC: Incomplete, review grading rubric criteria
How the Articles Support the Nursing Issue
These two articles play contribute to the intervention in the PICOT statement. In the first article, the authors note that one of the most preferred intervention methods by the population of the study is nicotine replacement treatment (NRT), which is similar to the nicotine substitution therapy (NST). It also provides statistics of high stress and the use of smoking to elevate stress and anxiety, hence suggesting why NST may be effective in helping to curbing smoking. While the study population is different to the one stated in the PICOT statement, it is general, representing the homeless individuals who are at high risk of nicotine addiction, hence may include even the individuals above the age of 17 years who are smokers (Chen, Nguyen, Malesker & Morrow, 2016).
In the second article, it offers quantitative evidence of how effective NRT intervention is, in helping to smoke quitting among young adults. This helps in answering the PICOT .
Selection of the Problem pg 13One of the most difficult tasks co.docx
Selection of the Problem pg 13
One of the most difficult tasks confronting the beginner is to select a researchable problem. More often than not, the newcomer has a proclivity to tackle an exotic issue, thus making the problem either too broad or too narrow in scope. Some factors that should be involved in the ultimate selection are listed here (Bailey, 1994):
1. Interest: The researcher should be interested in pursuing the problem area. The problem should be related to the background and career interests of the student, and in pursuing the problem the student should develop useful skills for the future.
2. Operability: The nature of the problem should be such that the researcher has both the resources and the time available to complete the subject.
3. Scope: While the research problem should not attempt to solve all the health dilemmas of the world, neither should it be so small as to negate the variables necessary for adequate results.
4. Theoretical and practical values: The research should contribute to the health field, perhaps through publication, and be of benefit to health practitioners.
5. Health paradigm: This is the school of thought or model employed by the researcher as discussed in an earlier chapter (Chapter 1).
6. Values of the researcher: The myth of value-free research is just that, a myth. The student of research should be aware that in addition to being unstable, values may prejudice the research effort to the degree that all objectivity is lost. Note that even the selection of a problem is value-laden.
7. Research methodology: Every researcher has a philosophy of research that affects procedure. Thus, the student must be certain that hypotheses are well written and that appropriate criteria are used to interpret the data to reach conclusions.
8. Reactivity: The method of data collection should be scrutinized for reactivity. That is, a reactive technique brings about a reaction on the part of those being studied in a way that affects that data. The reactive effect is commonly labeled the “Hawthorne effect” from the study of the Hawthorne Plant of the Western Electric Company in Chicago, where it was found that worker productivity increased simply because the personnel were being observed.
9. Unit of analysis: In health research, the unit of analysis may be an individual (such as the health habits of a single anorexic patient) or an entire population (patterns among the hospital anorexic population). The researcher must ascertain which is most appropriate and whether resources are available to collect data.
10. Time frame: This is particularly important to the student because only a limited amount of time is usually available. In a cross-sectional study aparticular population is involved at a single point in time; in a longitudinal time frame, data are gathered over an extended period of time (such as months or years).
11. Budget: To ensure that your proposal is feasible, write up a budget for expensive items. These items m.

Campaign : Prescription Drug Overdose
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a systematic process emphasizing the collaboration of public health leaders and community leaders for research, education, and effecting social change (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2004). The purpose of using this approach is to reduce disparity among populations, properly identify critical public health issues, and develop cooperation with community partners. CBPR recognizes and incorporates the various social, political, and economic issues among communities as well as the importance of cultural diversity. This approach also focuses on research methods, developing projects, collecting data, interpreting research results, and creating interventions and it is often valuable for public health leaders in the development and implementation of a public health campaign.
Discussion:

Then describe one ethical issue and one legal issue you might need to consider prior to the implementation of your public health campaign (PRESCRIPTION DRUG OVERDOSE). Briefly describe how you could potentially address either the ethical or the legal issue you identified.

Abstract
Case studies which are done in the field of medicine work towards improving the health of the population. There are some of the parts contained in case studies which are abstract, results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The common statistical methods used in research are descriptive numerical and qualitative thematic analyses. The results of the studies show that equal participation of individuals in the health sector will help boost public health. Limitations of results are that although some strategies may work towards improving health sector, not all of them are effective.
Public health is an important sector in any country for it directly affects the economy of the nation. There need to be certain ways which should be employed with the aim of supporting and improving public health. In this paper, I am going to examine 4 contemporary peer-reviewed articles which employ quantitative or mixed-methods concerning ways on how to improve the health of the public. The interest of the paper is to aid in achieving the best impact in public health sector via using programs which will improve health outcomes drastically. Enhancement of public health will in return help to improve the well-being of populations across the world. Public health awareness on how to avoid unhealthy lifestyles should be created.
In the articles, samples and populations used were appropriate for it showed the real representative of the population at hand. All the samples used in the 4-contemporary peer-reviewed articles fulfilled the rule of thumb hence making them appropriate. The samples used were suitable for they were used to estimate the population parameters for it stood for the entire inhabitants. The samples used were larger but not too large to consume more resources of money and time. The larger sample has helped to produce accurate results making the samples valid and appropriate. The appropriateness of the samples used in these articles, it has been proved via usage of target variance. In using target variance an estimate to be derived from the model eventually attained.
Each article which has been used includes having results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The first contemporary peer-reviewed article is entitled, Refugee women’s involvements of maternity-care facilities in Canada: a methodical review using a description synthesis written by Gina MA Higginbottom, Myfanwy Morgan, Miranda Alexandre, Yvonne Chiu, Joan Forgeron, Deb Kocay and Rubina Barolia. The article was published 11 February 2015. The results show that there needs to have a healthier understanding of the aspects that produce discrepancies in availability, adequacy, and outcomes during parenthood care (Higginbottom, Morgan, Alexandre, Chiu, Forg ...

The document discusses different treatment models for substance abuse, including the Disease/Minnesota Model, Therapeutic Community (TC) Model, and Narconon Model. It analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each model based on interviews with staff and patients. Key findings include that a holistic approach addressing physical, mental, and spiritual health promotes recovery over a singular focus. However, language used in some models emphasizing powerlessness, incurability and lifelong addiction can be disempowering to patients. Both staff and patients recommend improvements like increased physical activities and specialist training.

This document discusses the work of the Partnership for Prevention, a nonprofit organization that advocates for evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion policies. It describes how the Partnership produced principles for prevention-centered health reform, helped develop model language for public health legislation, and identified nine components of an effective prevention standard. The Partnership's efforts contributed to initial success in getting prevention priorities addressed in early health reform discussions, though cost concerns, political factors, and compromise were also influences.

The Stolen Years: the case for action to reduce smoking prevalence among thos...UKFacultyPublicHealth
The document discusses the findings and recommendations of "The Stolen Years" report on reducing smoking among those with mental health conditions. The report found that smoking has a major negative impact on the health and life expectancy of those with mental illness. While attitudes are changing, many mental health staff still view quitting as incompatible with treatment and significant resources are spent facilitating smoking. The report sets an ambition for smoking rates among this group to fall below 5% by 2035, and outlines recommendations around leadership, empowering patients, staff support for quitting, and ensuring effective stop smoking services and support across all care settings. Next steps include disseminating the report and continued partnership work on research, guidance, and tools.More Effectively Engaging Consumers in Comparative Effectiveness Research 5.1...
More Effectively Engaging Consumers in Comparative Effectiveness Research 5.1...Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics
The document discusses the formation of a Patient and Consumer Advisory Committee (PCAC) to provide recommendations to the Center for Medical Technology Policy (CMTP) on engaging patients in comparative effectiveness research (CER). The PCAC developed recommendations for prioritizing CER topics and guidelines for research design. It convened medical professionals, patient advocates, and consumers to review engagement practices and provide a set of recommendations. These included strengthening the patient voice in CER priority-setting and study design. CMTP has implemented the recommendations successfully in subsequent projects. The PCAC also recommended developing a ranked list of priority-setting criteria from patient advocacy groups to better represent the public perspective in CER.752573
This document is a call for papers for a special issue of BioMed Research International on evidence-based public health. It discusses that public health decision making is complex, involving many inputs and the need for consensus. It states that while public health has achieved much in the past century, future success requires greater use of evidence-based approaches. Key aspects of an evidence-based public health approach include making decisions based on the best available evidence, using sound research methods, and engaging the community in the decision making process. An evidence-based approach could provide numerous benefits such as access to higher quality information and more successful prevention programs. The call invites researchers to submit papers on generating and implementing evidence-based public health knowledge and practices.
NICE guidance on drugs, alcohol and smoking in young people
NICE provides national guidance on promoting good health and preventing disease. It produces public health guidance on issues like substance abuse in young people. The guidance development process involves scoping the issue, reviewing evidence, developing recommendations, and allowing public consultation. Current public health guidance topics under development include alcohol education in schools and preventing youth smoking.

This document summarizes a study that investigated motivations for smoking cessation, reasons for relapse, and methods of quitting smoking. The study involved focus groups and interviews with current and former smokers in Poland. Key findings included: (1) the main motivations for quitting were smoking bans and high cigarette costs, (2) the most common reason for relapse was stress, and (3) the most frequent method of quitting was a spontaneous decision triggered by a specific event. The study provided insights into factors that influence smoking behaviors and cessation attempts.
Oral Cancer Prevention
A smoking cessation and oral cancer screening program will be implemented at the UDM dental clinic to reduce oral cancer risk among patients. The program will involve screening for oral cancer, education on smoking cessation, and promoting sustainable oral self-exams. Short term outcomes include improved knowledge of oral cancer and decreased smoking. Long term outcomes aim to reduce oral cancer incidence through early detection and prolonged smoking cessation. The intervention is supported by high level evidence from systematic reviews demonstrating the effectiveness of combined smoking cessation counseling and oral cancer screening in dental settings.
Implementing contingency management for hepatitis b vaccination among people ...
This document provides an overview of a PhD thesis examining the use of contingency management to promote hepatitis B vaccination among people in treatment for heroin dependence. It discusses positioning contingency management as both evidence-based and within a Foucauldian framework. The research uses Foucauldian discourse analysis to analyze consultations where contingency management is used, identifying technologies of power and self. Preliminary findings describe features of these technologies. Future analysis includes further coding the full dataset and a dispositif analysis connecting macro and micro levels. The thesis contributes novel perspectives on soft paternalism and nudge theory in drug policy and the development of Foucauldian discourse analysis methodology.

Risks of Smoking
Introduction
The Article
Grassi, M.C., Baraldo, M., Chiamulera, C., Culasso, F., Raupach, T., Ferketich, A.K., Patrono, C., & Nencini, P. (2014). Knowledge about health effects of cigarette smoking and quitting among Italian university students: The importance of teaching nicotine dependence and treatment in the medical curriculum. BioMed Research International, 2014(321657), 1-9.
Research Problem
Cigarette smoking causes more avoidable mortalities in the developed world than any other risky behavior. It is also blamed for about 22% of deaths attributed to cancer annually, worldwide. In Italy, there are around 11 million current smokers, all of whom are adults and form 20.7% of the country’s gross adult population. 695,000 people die in Europe annually as a result of diseases linked to smoking. The authors had previously carried out a study whose findings showed that 4th year Italian undergraduate medical students are not adequately knowledgeable about the role of doctors in facilitating smoking cessation, tobacco dependence, and pathologies linked to smoking. Analysis of these results can be strengthened further by juxtaposing them with survey results in which respondents are nonmedical undergraduates. Medical students are naturally expected to be more informed about tobacco use and smoking cessation compared to their nonmedical counterparts, especially since health advocacy is one of their primary roles. Currently, however, there is a knowledge gap because surveys assessing nonmedical undergraduates’ understanding of tobacco are scarce at best.
Research Question and Research Objectives
The paper has no research question. The research objectives are, however, three-pronged. First, the authors intend to ascertain the consistency of their earlier findings. Second, the current study is aimed at determining if similarly-aged nonmedical undergraduates have varying interpretations and attitudes concerning smoking as opposed to medical undergraduates. The third objective is to scrutinize the smoking status of medical undergraduates as well as their knowledge retention one and two years after a brief educational intervention.
Initial Results and Methods
Respondents were required to fill a questionnaire containing 60 items. Each of the items revolved around participants’ awareness of the epide ...

Title of Paper Comment by ESC: Missing title
PICOT Question: In cigarette smokers whose ages are more than 17 years (P), does nicotine substitution treatment (I), as opposed to utilizing other smoking discontinuation treatments (C) influence smoking end results (O) over a time of a quarter of a year (T)?
Background
There are numerous quantitative studies relating to the topic of nicotine substitution treatment as a therapy for smoking. Two examples of such studies are High-Risk Smoking Behavior and Barriers to Smoking Cessation Among Homeless Individuals by Chen, Nguyen, Malesker, and Morrow (2016), and Effect of Nicotine Replacement Therapy on Quitting by Young Adults in a trial Comparison Cessation services by Buller et al., (2014). Noting the high major challenge in ending nicotine smoking is an addiction, the researchers in these two studies aim to understand how this bottleneck can be addressed. In the first research, the authors note the high risk of smoking among homeless persons, hence a need to study the factors that elevate smoking behaviors and bar smoking cessation among these individuals. In the second study, the researcher notes how despite the high number of young adult smokers, they rarely use or seek medication for smoking, hence evaluate how effective nicotine replacement therapy is effective in ending smoking among this population. Comment by ESC: Incomplete, review grading rubric criteria
How the Articles Support the Nursing Issue
These two articles play contribute to the intervention in the PICOT statement. In the first article, the authors note that one of the most preferred intervention methods by the population of the study is nicotine replacement treatment (NRT), which is similar to the nicotine substitution therapy (NST). It also provides statistics of high stress and the use of smoking to elevate stress and anxiety, hence suggesting why NST may be effective in helping to curbing smoking. While the study population is different to the one stated in the PICOT statement, it is general, representing the homeless individuals who are at high risk of nicotine addiction, hence may include even the individuals above the age of 17 years who are smokers (Chen, Nguyen, Malesker & Morrow, 2016).
In the second article, it offers quantitative evidence of how effective NRT intervention is, in helping to smoke quitting among young adults. This helps in answering the PICOT .
Selection of the Problem pg 13One of the most difficult tasks co.docx
Selection of the Problem pg 13
One of the most difficult tasks confronting the beginner is to select a researchable problem. More often than not, the newcomer has a proclivity to tackle an exotic issue, thus making the problem either too broad or too narrow in scope. Some factors that should be involved in the ultimate selection are listed here (Bailey, 1994):
1. Interest: The researcher should be interested in pursuing the problem area. The problem should be related to the background and career interests of the student, and in pursuing the problem the student should develop useful skills for the future.
2. Operability: The nature of the problem should be such that the researcher has both the resources and the time available to complete the subject.
3. Scope: While the research problem should not attempt to solve all the health dilemmas of the world, neither should it be so small as to negate the variables necessary for adequate results.
4. Theoretical and practical values: The research should contribute to the health field, perhaps through publication, and be of benefit to health practitioners.
5. Health paradigm: This is the school of thought or model employed by the researcher as discussed in an earlier chapter (Chapter 1).
6. Values of the researcher: The myth of value-free research is just that, a myth. The student of research should be aware that in addition to being unstable, values may prejudice the research effort to the degree that all objectivity is lost. Note that even the selection of a problem is value-laden.
7. Research methodology: Every researcher has a philosophy of research that affects procedure. Thus, the student must be certain that hypotheses are well written and that appropriate criteria are used to interpret the data to reach conclusions.
8. Reactivity: The method of data collection should be scrutinized for reactivity. That is, a reactive technique brings about a reaction on the part of those being studied in a way that affects that data. The reactive effect is commonly labeled the “Hawthorne effect” from the study of the Hawthorne Plant of the Western Electric Company in Chicago, where it was found that worker productivity increased simply because the personnel were being observed.
9. Unit of analysis: In health research, the unit of analysis may be an individual (such as the health habits of a single anorexic patient) or an entire population (patterns among the hospital anorexic population). The researcher must ascertain which is most appropriate and whether resources are available to collect data.
10. Time frame: This is particularly important to the student because only a limited amount of time is usually available. In a cross-sectional study aparticular population is involved at a single point in time; in a longitudinal time frame, data are gathered over an extended period of time (such as months or years).
11. Budget: To ensure that your proposal is feasible, write up a budget for expensive items. These items m.

Campaign : Prescription Drug Overdose
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a systematic process emphasizing the collaboration of public health leaders and community leaders for research, education, and effecting social change (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2004). The purpose of using this approach is to reduce disparity among populations, properly identify critical public health issues, and develop cooperation with community partners. CBPR recognizes and incorporates the various social, political, and economic issues among communities as well as the importance of cultural diversity. This approach also focuses on research methods, developing projects, collecting data, interpreting research results, and creating interventions and it is often valuable for public health leaders in the development and implementation of a public health campaign.
Discussion:

Abstract
Case studies which are done in the field of medicine work towards improving the health of the population. There are some of the parts contained in case studies which are abstract, results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The common statistical methods used in research are descriptive numerical and qualitative thematic analyses. The results of the studies show that equal participation of individuals in the health sector will help boost public health. Limitations of results are that although some strategies may work towards improving health sector, not all of them are effective.
Public health is an important sector in any country for it directly affects the economy of the nation. There need to be certain ways which should be employed with the aim of supporting and improving public health. In this paper, I am going to examine 4 contemporary peer-reviewed articles which employ quantitative or mixed-methods concerning ways on how to improve the health of the public. The interest of the paper is to aid in achieving the best impact in public health sector via using programs which will improve health outcomes drastically. Enhancement of public health will in return help to improve the well-being of populations across the world. Public health awareness on how to avoid unhealthy lifestyles should be created.
In the articles, samples and populations used were appropriate for it showed the real representative of the population at hand. All the samples used in the 4-contemporary peer-reviewed articles fulfilled the rule of thumb hence making them appropriate. The samples used were suitable for they were used to estimate the population parameters for it stood for the entire inhabitants. The samples used were larger but not too large to consume more resources of money and time. The larger sample has helped to produce accurate results making the samples valid and appropriate. The appropriateness of the samples used in these articles, it has been proved via usage of target variance. In using target variance an estimate to be derived from the model eventually attained.
Each article which has been used includes having results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The first contemporary peer-reviewed article is entitled, Refugee women’s involvements of maternity-care facilities in Canada: a methodical review using a description synthesis written by Gina MA Higginbottom, Myfanwy Morgan, Miranda Alexandre, Yvonne Chiu, Joan Forgeron, Deb Kocay and Rubina Barolia. The article was published 11 February 2015. The results show that there needs to have a healthier understanding of the aspects that produce discrepancies in availability, adequacy, and outcomes during parenthood care (Higginbottom, Morgan, Alexandre, Chiu, Forg ...

The document discusses different treatment models for substance abuse, including the Disease/Minnesota Model, Therapeutic Community (TC) Model, and Narconon Model. It analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each model based on interviews with staff and patients. Key findings include that a holistic approach addressing physical, mental, and spiritual health promotes recovery over a singular focus. However, language used in some models emphasizing powerlessness, incurability and lifelong addiction can be disempowering to patients. Both staff and patients recommend improvements like increased physical activities and specialist training.

This document discusses the work of the Partnership for Prevention, a nonprofit organization that advocates for evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion policies. It describes how the Partnership produced principles for prevention-centered health reform, helped develop model language for public health legislation, and identified nine components of an effective prevention standard. The Partnership's efforts contributed to initial success in getting prevention priorities addressed in early health reform discussions, though cost concerns, political factors, and compromise were also influences.

The document discusses the findings and recommendations of "The Stolen Years" report on reducing smoking among those with mental health conditions. The report found that smoking has a major negative impact on the health and life expectancy of those with mental illness. While attitudes are changing, many mental health staff still view quitting as incompatible with treatment and significant resources are spent facilitating smoking. The report sets an ambition for smoking rates among this group to fall below 5% by 2035, and outlines recommendations around leadership, empowering patients, staff support for quitting, and ensuring effective stop smoking services and support across all care settings. Next steps include disseminating the report and continued partnership work on research, guidance, and tools.More Effectively Engaging Consumers in Comparative Effectiveness Research 5.1...

The document discusses the formation of a Patient and Consumer Advisory Committee (PCAC) to provide recommendations to the Center for Medical Technology Policy (CMTP) on engaging patients in comparative effectiveness research (CER). The PCAC developed recommendations for prioritizing CER topics and guidelines for research design. It convened medical professionals, patient advocates, and consumers to review engagement practices and provide a set of recommendations. These included strengthening the patient voice in CER priority-setting and study design. CMTP has implemented the recommendations successfully in subsequent projects. The PCAC also recommended developing a ranked list of priority-setting criteria from patient advocacy groups to better represent the public perspective in CER.752573
This document is a call for papers for a special issue of BioMed Research International on evidence-based public health. It discusses that public health decision making is complex, involving many inputs and the need for consensus. It states that while public health has achieved much in the past century, future success requires greater use of evidence-based approaches. Key aspects of an evidence-based public health approach include making decisions based on the best available evidence, using sound research methods, and engaging the community in the decision making process. An evidence-based approach could provide numerous benefits such as access to higher quality information and more successful prevention programs. The call invites researchers to submit papers on generating and implementing evidence-based public health knowledge and practices.
NICE guidance on drugs, alcohol and smoking in young people
NICE provides national guidance on promoting good health and preventing disease. It produces public health guidance on issues like substance abuse in young people. The guidance development process involves scoping the issue, reviewing evidence, developing recommendations, and allowing public consultation. Current public health guidance topics under development include alcohol education in schools and preventing youth smoking.

This document summarizes a study that investigated motivations for smoking cessation, reasons for relapse, and methods of quitting smoking. The study involved focus groups and interviews with current and former smokers in Poland. Key findings included: (1) the main motivations for quitting were smoking bans and high cigarette costs, (2) the most common reason for relapse was stress, and (3) the most frequent method of quitting was a spontaneous decision triggered by a specific event. The study provided insights into factors that influence smoking behaviors and cessation attempts.
Oral Cancer Prevention
A smoking cessation and oral cancer screening program will be implemented at the UDM dental clinic to reduce oral cancer risk among patients. The program will involve screening for oral cancer, education on smoking cessation, and promoting sustainable oral self-exams. Short term outcomes include improved knowledge of oral cancer and decreased smoking. Long term outcomes aim to reduce oral cancer incidence through early detection and prolonged smoking cessation. The intervention is supported by high level evidence from systematic reviews demonstrating the effectiveness of combined smoking cessation counseling and oral cancer screening in dental settings.
Implementing contingency management for hepatitis b vaccination among people ...
This document provides an overview of a PhD thesis examining the use of contingency management to promote hepatitis B vaccination among people in treatment for heroin dependence. It discusses positioning contingency management as both evidence-based and within a Foucauldian framework. The research uses Foucauldian discourse analysis to analyze consultations where contingency management is used, identifying technologies of power and self. Preliminary findings describe features of these technologies. Future analysis includes further coding the full dataset and a dispositif analysis connecting macro and micro levels. The thesis contributes novel perspectives on soft paternalism and nudge theory in drug policy and the development of Foucauldian discourse analysis methodology.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

smoke-free policy within a mental health trust
- 1. JOURNAL READING Exploring mental health professionals' practice in relation to smoke-free policy within a mental health trust: a qualitative study using the COM-B model of behaviour OLEH : Erlina Yulia
- 2. Smoking has played a significant role in the historical culture of mental healthcare settings. Mental health professionals (MHPs) often hold dismissive attitudes regarding the importance of smoking cessation in the context of mental healthcare. In 2007, English mental health inpatient buildings were required by law to become smoke-free, and healthcare trusts have more recently begun to implement comprehensive and staff training in response to national guidance.
- 3. AIM To explore these issues by using the COM-B (capability, opportunity, motivation, behaviour) model to systematically identify barriers to, and facilitators for, MHPs addressing smoking with their patients.
- 4. Period : March - August 2017 Total sampel : A total of 36 MHPs employed by NHS England partici-pated in the study. Type of Analysis : Thematic Analysis Type of Research Qualitative Purposive sampling Technique RESEARCH METHODS
- 5. Interview Protocol The interview protocol was devised following a systematic review of the literature The resulting topic guide included the following themes: Experiences of addressing smoking with mentalhealth patients Attitudes toward smoking cessation and harmreduction in the mental health context Attitudes and adherence to the smoke-free policyand mandatory training
- 6. Results : Addressing smoking with patients was undermined by MHPs psychological capability to recall training content, misunderstand the potential benefits of addressing patient smoking and harm reduction approaches physical opportunity in terms of time constraints, and easy accessibility of tobacco in the community Social opportunity in terms of increased cultural value of tobacco following inpatient smoke-free policy implementation, and lack of support from colleagues to enforce the smoke-free policy automatic motivation, including intrinsic biases regarding patients abilities and motivations to quit reflective motivation, including perceived job role anddecision making processes related to addressing behaviours deemed more important than smoking
- 7. This study highlighted : The lack of physical opportunity which community MHPs feel they have to discuss smoking with their patients Often referring to time constraints and the inability to monitor patients’ progress because of having limited face-to- face contact with patients. In line with the behaviour change wheel, enabling MHPs by increasing access to resources which can be used in the community may assist in overcoming this barrier, which could improve the motivation of both the patient and MHPs Discussions :
- 8. Multiple barriers were identified across all key domains of the COM-B framework that undermine MHPs’practice regarding smoking cessation. Few facilitators were identified which may have implications for future smoke-free policy and clinical practice.
