1. The document discusses the concept of culture and healthcare. It defines culture and explains how cultural norms can impact a person's health beliefs and behaviors.
2. Embracing cultural competence in healthcare can improve quality of care by helping providers understand patient values and beliefs. Awareness of cultural factors is important for developing effective health communication strategies.
3. Analyzing one's own cultural influences is a first step for healthcare providers to improve cultural sensitivity when working with diverse populations.
The document discusses cancer survivorship and the needs of cancer patients after primary treatment. It notes that as cancer treatments have improved, more patients are living longer after a cancer diagnosis. However, survivors still face complex medical, psychological and social challenges. The document calls for improved education, screening and support services to help survivors address long-term effects of cancer and its treatment and live healthy, productive lives. Health systems need coordinated survivorship care plans and providers need guidelines to help survivors manage issues that may arise years after diagnosis and treatment.
Community diagnosis involves analyzing the health status, resources, and services of a community to identify priorities and goals for improving community health. It examines mortality and morbidity rates, nutritional status, healthcare access, and other social and environmental health indicators. The process involves listening to community members, observing health problems, reviewing available data, conducting surveys, and holding monthly meetings. The results are used to plan and evaluate community health programs and services.
This document discusses community health needs assessment and the nursing process. It provides an overview of the steps in assessing a community's health needs which include collecting demographic data, identifying major health issues, planning programs, implementing activities, and evaluating outcomes. The nursing process is also summarized as a systematic method used in nursing practice with the main components being assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Methods of collecting and analyzing health data from communities are also outlined.

Military courts have exclusive authority over members of the military for crimes that violate military-specific laws like mutiny, while civilian courts have authority over crimes that occur within their geographical boundaries. For crimes that violate both military and civilian laws, jurisdiction may be decided between the two court systems, but a member of the military cannot be tried twice for the same crime. The different types of military courts - special, summary, and general - each handle crimes of varying severity, with general courts having the most serious punishments including potential death sentences.

Healthy People 2020
Healthy People was a call to action and an attempt to set health goals for the United States for the next 10 years.
Healthy People 2000 established 3 general goals:
Increase the span of healthy life.
Reduce health disparities.
Create access to preventive services for all.
Healthy People 2010 introduced 2 general goals:
Increase quality and years of healthy life.
Eliminate health disparities.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
The U.S. health care system faces significant challenges that clearly indicate the urgent need for reform.
There is broad evidence that Americans often do not get the care they need even though the United States spends more money per person on health care than any other nation in the world.
Preventive care is underutilized, resulting in higher spending on complex, advanced diseases.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
Patients with chronic diseases too often do not receive proven and effective treatments such as drug therapies or self management services to help them more effectively manage their conditions.
These problems are exacerbated by a lack of coordination of care for patients with chronic diseases.
Reforming our health care delivery system to improve the quality and value of care is essential to address escalating costs, poor quality, and increasing numbers of Americans without health insurance coverage.
Why policies need to be developed?
Basic needs are not being met (e.g., People are not receiving the health care they need)
People are not being treated fairly (e.g., People with disabilities do not have access to public places)
Resources are distributed unfairly (e.g., Educational services are more limited in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty)
Why policies need to be developed?
Current policies or laws are not enforced or effective (e.g., The current laws on clean water are neither enforced nor effective)
Proposed changes in policies or laws would be harmful (e.g., A plan to eliminate flextime in a large business would reduce parents' ability to be with their children)
Existing or emerging conditions pose a threat to public health, safety, education, or well-being (e.g., New threats from terrorist activity)

IMPACT- Two phase program
Mission: to engage and rehabilitate the offenders with sentence of seven years
Goals: To engage the offenders into correction program for their betterment
To help the offenders to live a life with worth with out committing a crime.
Intensive motivational program of alternative correctional treatment (IMPACT) is a program that is based on the two phases, it is continuation shock incarcerations that initially started in the 1987. The mission of the program is to engage the offenders who are sentenced for 7 years into correctional program. Goals of the program is to engage the offender voluntarily in the two phase program and they can quite if they are not willing to continue the program. The offenders ahs to pass through the phases and complete the instructions of the drill instructors. The target population is based on the offender who do not mix in to normal general population. IMPACT is among the top three programs of the state to correct and rehabilitate the offenders (Mackenzie & Shaw, 2006).

Intensive motivational program of alternative correctional treatment (IMPACT)
Population : Offenders with sentence of seven years
Effectiveness:
Increased the prosocial behavior in offenders
Decreased the aggression and anxiety
Improvements have been seen in the offenders that lead them towards rehabilitation.
The program is effective for the offenders by send in to the offenders into military boot camps. Offenders who were engage in the IMPACT program were reported as having the high prosocial behaviors anxiety and aggression have been lowered in the offenders who have completed the program. Offender with change are promoted to the next phase of rehabilitation (Mackenzie & Shaw, 2006). It was designed because authorities are aware of that emotional instability is a main reason behind the offenses. Thus this program helped to provide emotional stability and also help in rehabilitation process.

Reentry Program
Reentry program is basically developed as a correctional program which is covering different aspects.
Educational paradigm
Health sector
Rehabilitation sector
Job skills and Employment Readiness program
Reentry programs is an effort made by the Louisiana corrections. The mission of the program is to provide the services regarding education, job and employment skills, substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation services are offered by the programs to education the offenders and help them rehabilitate in the society. Reentry program was designed to motivate those offenders who came again after relapse of drugs or crime. This program focus on all areas of life of offenders because it not only provided basic education but also provide job skills to make them productive member of society. Some profit and not for profit organizations help to design and to make it effective by financ.

Program Evaluation
Name __Bob Smith Date _January 26, 2015______________
Program Name _____Program X__________________
1) Please provide a brief overview of the program. (This may be 1-2 sentences.)
Program X is a program which promotes cognitive reconstruction, problem
solving skills and social skills for offenders. The objective in implementing this program
is to change the offenders thinking and in turn change the offender’s behavior in a
positive manner.
2) What, in your opinion, makes this program effective?
The program has multiple qualities which makes it effective. The first of which is
the fact that the program does not attempt to directly affect the offender’s behavior, but it
attempts to affect the offender’s cognitive thinking. This quality of the program seems to
be more effective because our behavior is a direct result of our cognitive thoughts,
problem solving skills and social skills. Therefore this program goes directly to the
source of human behavior, cognitive reconstruction.
Another way in which this program is effective is the fact that it focuses on
problem solving skills, which I believe, can have a significant impact on deviant
behavior. In my opinion, many crimes which occur on a daily basis in America could
very easily be prevented in individuals possessed better problem solving skills. Problem
solving skills are directly related to crime especially in cases of violent crime. Many
deviant acts could be prevented if individuals had better problem solving skills.
3) What, in your opinion, makes this program ineffective?
In my opinion one characteristic of this program which would be ineffective is
how the program is administered, in a classroom setting with offenders. This setting may
provide various distractions while the trainers are administering the program. For
instance, if one trainer was attempting to teach a group of fifteen offenders. Let’s say
only five of the fifteen offenders graduated high school and five had a GED or high
school diploma equivalent. The five offenders who do not have a high school education
will probably be very difficult to control and even more so keep their attention. This
could provide for an ineffective learning environment even for those who truly want to
learn. I understand the participants (offenders) will be pre-screened and selected, but it
would be very difficult to avoid the above situation described in every program session.
4) Name one thing you would change about the program.
One thing I would change about Program X would be the selection of offenders
who will attempt to complete the program. The pre-screening process would be very
strict on who can participate in the program. Only offenders who attributed a desire to
better their cognitive reconstruction, problem solving skills and social skills would be
chosen. The reason I would change this is because offenders who do no.

This document provides an overview of developing a behaviour change communication (BCC) strategy in multiple chapters. It discusses that a successful BCC strategy follows a systematic process including analysis, budgeting, strategic design, developing and pre-testing messages, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. It also summarizes the "Goli ki Hamjoli" campaign in India as an example of an effective BCC intervention that addressed myths around oral contraceptives through formative research, direct and interpersonal communication, and a mass media campaign targeting different audience stages.
1) Community health nursing aims to promote and preserve the health of populations through nursing practices that are general, comprehensive, and not limited to specific age or diagnostic groups. It focuses on populations as a whole through continuous care.
2) Community health nursing contributes to total population health by directing care to individuals, families, and groups. It takes a holistic approach through health promotion, education, coordination, and continuity of care.
3) Several conceptual models are applicable to community health nursing, including systems models which view communities as interconnected systems, developmental models for working with children, and interaction models focused on communication, roles, and self-perception between nurses and communities.

Unit Lesson Study Guide
In Unit 4, we will continue to discuss health behavior and its association with factors that could influence such behaviors. These types of influences are referred to as multilevel factors of behaviors, and they typically fall into five main categories:
1. individual factors,
2. inter-personal factors,
3. organizational factors,
4. community factors, and
5. policy factors
Consider the following scenario:
A 50-year-old man may purposely postpone getting a prostate cancer test because he is scared of finding out that he may have prostate cancer. This is an example of an individual- level factor. However, we need to look into this further and consider the following: his inaction might also be influenced by his primary physician’s failure to actually recommend and insist that he would need to take the prostate test. Another factor might be the difficulty of scheduling an appointment due to either unavailable equipment or the unavailability of staff at his local clinic. Another limiting factor could be that the fee for the exam is so high he cannot afford it, and his insurance does not cover this type of procedure. Thus, all these interpersonal, organizational, and policy factors are influencing this man’s behavior to not complete the prostate test. Therefore, for health promotion practitioners, it is very important to be aware of all these factors so effective change strategies or interventions can be prescribed.
One of the multilevel theories that will be discussed is the Theory of Triadic Influence (TTI). TTI behaviors arise due to one’s current social situation, general cultural environment, and their personal characteristics. Any health-related behaviors are influenced by an individual’s decisions.

Problem Identification or Engagement
Identify the type of problem – drug addiction and its effects on Family members.(Janice Walker is at the center of problem)
Identify how the problem has affected the rest of the community- substance abuse effects cost in the community in measurable ways including loss of productivity and unemployability; impairment in physical and mental health; reduced quality of life; increase violence; and Crime; abuse and neglect of children.
The community's general perception of the problem- the economic consequences of drug abuse severely burden federal , State, and local government resources, and the taxpayer.
The root cause of the problem- most often the cause of addiction is chronic stress, a history of trauma (PTSD), mental illness, lastly family history with addiction
Problem Identification/Engagement. The first step is to identify the type of problem the researcher is dealing with. Identify how the problem has affected the rest of the community and the community's general perception of the problem. The next step is to evaluate how the problem has affected the community or a client. Lastly, identify the root cause of the problem; where did the problem come from, or how did the victim get the problem they are facing.

Data Collection
Three major ways of collecting data from Clients are Interviews, Observation, and surveys
Interviews:
Engaging with the client one-on-one. Listening to client’s perspective of the problem
This method has ability to untangle the individual's problem, emotions, background, and the general social context, The Advocate can get the client's perception of the treatment
Observation:
It obtains data from clients by assessing the reaction to their respective environments
The researcher can identify factors contributing to the Client's condition
Data collection. There are many ways to collect data from a client. Three major ways of collecting data from a client are Interviews, Observation, and First Extraction.
Interviews: The researcher can speak with the patient on a one-on-one basis. A researcher or a nurse can use this method because of its ability to untangle the individual's problem, emotions, background, and the general social context, which in this paper largely revolves around the family relationship (Cohen et al., 2017). This data collection method paves the way for a nurse to get the patient's perception of the treatment and some of the elements that motivated them to embrace treatment.
Observation: it is used to obtain data from clients by assessing the reaction to their respective environments. Observation methods allow the researcher to identify social dimensions and family background factors contributing to the patient's condition.

This document discusses health behavior theories and their usefulness in designing health education interventions and programs. It provides an overview of some major theories like the Health Belief Model and explains how theories can be used as tools to understand health behaviors, plan evidence-based programs, and evaluate impacts. It also outlines some essential components of effective community-based health education, like involving community members, comprehensive long-term planning, and addressing multiple factors to create lasting behavior and social change.
This document outlines an argument for alternative sentencing programs to address prison overcrowding. It proposes developing prison-based programs that provide education, treatment, and vocational training to rehabilitate non-violent offenders. Research shows community-based and intermediate sanctions are less restrictive and costly than incarceration, and can reduce recidivism. Successful programs incorporate education, employment preparation, accountability, and transition support to help offenders lead productive lives after release.

Programmatic purposes and outcomes
Select and discuss three programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated. In your discussion, provide the rationale for the purposes and outcomes selected. It will be assumed the purposes and outcomes selected were influenced by the program being evaluated.
The program that I will be discussing is human service programs. In the abiding endeavor to enhance human service programs, service providers, policy makers and funders are more and more recognizing the significance of thorough program evaluations. They want to know what the programs achieve, what they spend, and how they must be operated to attain maximum cost efficiency. They want to recognize which programs function for which groups, and they need endings based on proof, as opposed to impassioned pleas and testimonials. The purposes should state the extensive, extensive range result that maintains the mission of the program, including content information areas, performance prospects, and values anticipated of program graduates. Purposes can be stated in wider and more stirring language than outcomes that have to be measurable and specific. Outcome is the reason nonprofit organizations struggle to build capacity and deliver programs. Measurement of outcomes is the systematic way of assessing the extent to which a program has attained its intended results.
The programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated include:
Programmatic purposes
· To monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department.
Without departments, the purpose or goals of human services would be very hard to fulfill. Human services is a very large sector that entails a wide range of skills, knowledge and disciplines focused on enhancing the well being of human both collectively and individually. Just like there are a lot of sectors in human services, so too there are a huge variety of functions of the human service programs that need to be evaluated so as to accomplish the purpose of the program (Connell, Kubisch, Schorr & Weiss, 1995). One of the programmatic purposes of human service programs is to monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department. Any department or even sector requires frequent checks to make sure that it is functioning well and according to the purpose. This purpose is very crucial in the execution of the human service program goals. It needs to be evaluated to make sure that the functions of the health and human service department are in line with the programmatic purposes of the program.
· Assessing internal control over compliance requirements to provide reasonable assurance.
The compliance requirements are very crucial in every program as they make sure that the program is in line with its goals and makes sure it works towards achieving its stipulated outcomes. This purpose needs to be evaluated to m ...

Healthy People 2020
Healthy People was a call to action and an attempt to set health goals for the United States for the next 10 years.
Healthy People 2000 established 3 general goals:
Increase the span of healthy life.
Reduce health disparities.
Create access to preventive services for all.
Healthy People 2010 introduced 2 general goals:
Increase quality and years of healthy life.
Eliminate health disparities.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
The U.S. health care system faces significant challenges that clearly indicate the urgent need for reform.
There is broad evidence that Americans often do not get the care they need even though the United States spends more money per person on health care than any other nation in the world.
Preventive care is underutilized, resulting in higher spending on complex, advanced diseases.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
Patients with chronic diseases too often do not receive proven and effective treatments such as drug therapies or self management services to help them more effectively manage their conditions.
These problems are exacerbated by a lack of coordination of care for patients with chronic diseases.
Reforming our health care delivery system to improve the quality and value of care is essential to address escalating costs, poor quality, and increasing numbers of Americans without health insurance coverage.
Why policies need to be developed?
Basic needs are not being met (e.g., People are not receiving the health care they need)
People are not being treated fairly (e.g., People with disabilities do not have access to public places)
Resources are distributed unfairly (e.g., Educational services are more limited in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty)
Why policies need to be developed?
Current policies or laws are not enforced or effective (e.g., The current laws on clean water are neither enforced nor effective)
Proposed changes in policies or laws would be harmful (e.g., A plan to eliminate flextime in a large business would reduce parents' ability to be with their children)
Existing or emerging conditions pose a threat to public health, safety, education, or well-being (e.g., New threats from terrorist activity)

Mission: to engage and rehabilitate the offenders with sentence of seven years
Goals: To engage the offenders into correction program for their betterment
To help the offenders to live a life with worth with out committing a crime.
Intensive motivational program of alternative correctional treatment (IMPACT) is a program that is based on the two phases, it is continuation shock incarcerations that initially started in the 1987. The mission of the program is to engage the offenders who are sentenced for 7 years into correctional program. Goals of the program is to engage the offender voluntarily in the two phase program and they can quite if they are not willing to continue the program. The offenders ahs to pass through the phases and complete the instructions of the drill instructors. The target population is based on the offender who do not mix in to normal general population. IMPACT is among the top three programs of the state to correct and rehabilitate the offenders (Mackenzie & Shaw, 2006).

Intensive motivational program of alternative correctional treatment (IMPACT)
Population : Offenders with sentence of seven years
Effectiveness:
Increased the prosocial behavior in offenders
Decreased the aggression and anxiety
Improvements have been seen in the offenders that lead them towards rehabilitation.
The program is effective for the offenders by send in to the offenders into military boot camps. Offenders who were engage in the IMPACT program were reported as having the high prosocial behaviors anxiety and aggression have been lowered in the offenders who have completed the program. Offender with change are promoted to the next phase of rehabilitation (Mackenzie & Shaw, 2006). It was designed because authorities are aware of that emotional instability is a main reason behind the offenses. Thus this program helped to provide emotional stability and also help in rehabilitation process.

Program Evaluation
Name __Bob Smith Date _January 26, 2015______________
Program Name _____Program X__________________
1) Please provide a brief overview of the program. (This may be 1-2 sentences.)
Program X is a program which promotes cognitive reconstruction, problem
solving skills and social skills for offenders. The objective in implementing this program
is to change the offenders thinking and in turn change the offender’s behavior in a
positive manner.
2) What, in your opinion, makes this program effective?
The program has multiple qualities which makes it effective. The first of which is
the fact that the program does not attempt to directly affect the offender’s behavior, but it
attempts to affect the offender’s cognitive thinking. This quality of the program seems to
be more effective because our behavior is a direct result of our cognitive thoughts,
problem solving skills and social skills. Therefore this program goes directly to the
source of human behavior, cognitive reconstruction.
Another way in which this program is effective is the fact that it focuses on
problem solving skills, which I believe, can have a significant impact on deviant
behavior. In my opinion, many crimes which occur on a daily basis in America could
very easily be prevented in individuals possessed better problem solving skills. Problem
solving skills are directly related to crime especially in cases of violent crime. Many
deviant acts could be prevented if individuals had better problem solving skills.
3) What, in your opinion, makes this program ineffective?
In my opinion one characteristic of this program which would be ineffective is
how the program is administered, in a classroom setting with offenders. This setting may
provide various distractions while the trainers are administering the program. For
instance, if one trainer was attempting to teach a group of fifteen offenders. Let’s say
only five of the fifteen offenders graduated high school and five had a GED or high
school diploma equivalent. The five offenders who do not have a high school education
will probably be very difficult to control and even more so keep their attention. This
could provide for an ineffective learning environment even for those who truly want to
learn. I understand the participants (offenders) will be pre-screened and selected, but it
would be very difficult to avoid the above situation described in every program session.
4) Name one thing you would change about the program.
One thing I would change about Program X would be the selection of offenders
who will attempt to complete the program. The pre-screening process would be very
strict on who can participate in the program. Only offenders who attributed a desire to
better their cognitive reconstruction, problem solving skills and social skills would be
chosen. The reason I would change this is because offenders who do no.

This document provides an overview of developing a behaviour change communication (BCC) strategy in multiple chapters. It discusses that a successful BCC strategy follows a systematic process including analysis, budgeting, strategic design, developing and pre-testing messages, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. It also summarizes the "Goli ki Hamjoli" campaign in India as an example of an effective BCC intervention that addressed myths around oral contraceptives through formative research, direct and interpersonal communication, and a mass media campaign targeting different audience stages.
1) Community health nursing aims to promote and preserve the health of populations through nursing practices that are general, comprehensive, and not limited to specific age or diagnostic groups. It focuses on populations as a whole through continuous care.
2) Community health nursing contributes to total population health by directing care to individuals, families, and groups. It takes a holistic approach through health promotion, education, coordination, and continuity of care.
3) Several conceptual models are applicable to community health nursing, including systems models which view communities as interconnected systems, developmental models for working with children, and interaction models focused on communication, roles, and self-perception between nurses and communities.

Unit Lesson Study Guide
In Unit 4, we will continue to discuss health behavior and its association with factors that could influence such behaviors. These types of influences are referred to as multilevel factors of behaviors, and they typically fall into five main categories:
1. individual factors,
2. inter-personal factors,
3. organizational factors,
4. community factors, and
5. policy factors
Consider the following scenario:
A 50-year-old man may purposely postpone getting a prostate cancer test because he is scared of finding out that he may have prostate cancer. This is an example of an individual- level factor. However, we need to look into this further and consider the following: his inaction might also be influenced by his primary physician’s failure to actually recommend and insist that he would need to take the prostate test. Another factor might be the difficulty of scheduling an appointment due to either unavailable equipment or the unavailability of staff at his local clinic. Another limiting factor could be that the fee for the exam is so high he cannot afford it, and his insurance does not cover this type of procedure. Thus, all these interpersonal, organizational, and policy factors are influencing this man’s behavior to not complete the prostate test. Therefore, for health promotion practitioners, it is very important to be aware of all these factors so effective change strategies or interventions can be prescribed.
One of the multilevel theories that will be discussed is the Theory of Triadic Influence (TTI). TTI behaviors arise due to one’s current social situation, general cultural environment, and their personal characteristics. Any health-related behaviors are influenced by an individual’s decisions.

Problem Identification or Engagement
Identify the type of problem – drug addiction and its effects on Family members.(Janice Walker is at the center of problem)
Identify how the problem has affected the rest of the community- substance abuse effects cost in the community in measurable ways including loss of productivity and unemployability; impairment in physical and mental health; reduced quality of life; increase violence; and Crime; abuse and neglect of children.
The community's general perception of the problem- the economic consequences of drug abuse severely burden federal , State, and local government resources, and the taxpayer.
The root cause of the problem- most often the cause of addiction is chronic stress, a history of trauma (PTSD), mental illness, lastly family history with addiction
Problem Identification/Engagement. The first step is to identify the type of problem the researcher is dealing with. Identify how the problem has affected the rest of the community and the community's general perception of the problem. The next step is to evaluate how the problem has affected the community or a client. Lastly, identify the root cause of the problem; where did the problem come from, or how did the victim get the problem they are facing.

Data Collection
Three major ways of collecting data from Clients are Interviews, Observation, and surveys
Interviews:
Engaging with the client one-on-one. Listening to client’s perspective of the problem
This method has ability to untangle the individual's problem, emotions, background, and the general social context, The Advocate can get the client's perception of the treatment
Observation:
It obtains data from clients by assessing the reaction to their respective environments
The researcher can identify factors contributing to the Client's condition
Data collection. There are many ways to collect data from a client. Three major ways of collecting data from a client are Interviews, Observation, and First Extraction.
Interviews: The researcher can speak with the patient on a one-on-one basis. A researcher or a nurse can use this method because of its ability to untangle the individual's problem, emotions, background, and the general social context, which in this paper largely revolves around the family relationship (Cohen et al., 2017). This data collection method paves the way for a nurse to get the patient's perception of the treatment and some of the elements that motivated them to embrace treatment.
Observation: it is used to obtain data from clients by assessing the reaction to their respective environments. Observation methods allow the researcher to identify social dimensions and family background factors contributing to the patient's condition.

This document discusses health behavior theories and their usefulness in designing health education interventions and programs. It provides an overview of some major theories like the Health Belief Model and explains how theories can be used as tools to understand health behaviors, plan evidence-based programs, and evaluate impacts. It also outlines some essential components of effective community-based health education, like involving community members, comprehensive long-term planning, and addressing multiple factors to create lasting behavior and social change.
This document outlines an argument for alternative sentencing programs to address prison overcrowding. It proposes developing prison-based programs that provide education, treatment, and vocational training to rehabilitate non-violent offenders. Research shows community-based and intermediate sanctions are less restrictive and costly than incarceration, and can reduce recidivism. Successful programs incorporate education, employment preparation, accountability, and transition support to help offenders lead productive lives after release.

Programmatic purposes and outcomes
Select and discuss three programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated. In your discussion, provide the rationale for the purposes and outcomes selected. It will be assumed the purposes and outcomes selected were influenced by the program being evaluated.
The program that I will be discussing is human service programs. In the abiding endeavor to enhance human service programs, service providers, policy makers and funders are more and more recognizing the significance of thorough program evaluations. They want to know what the programs achieve, what they spend, and how they must be operated to attain maximum cost efficiency. They want to recognize which programs function for which groups, and they need endings based on proof, as opposed to impassioned pleas and testimonials. The purposes should state the extensive, extensive range result that maintains the mission of the program, including content information areas, performance prospects, and values anticipated of program graduates. Purposes can be stated in wider and more stirring language than outcomes that have to be measurable and specific. Outcome is the reason nonprofit organizations struggle to build capacity and deliver programs. Measurement of outcomes is the systematic way of assessing the extent to which a program has attained its intended results.
The programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated include:
Programmatic purposes
· To monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department.
Without departments, the purpose or goals of human services would be very hard to fulfill. Human services is a very large sector that entails a wide range of skills, knowledge and disciplines focused on enhancing the well being of human both collectively and individually. Just like there are a lot of sectors in human services, so too there are a huge variety of functions of the human service programs that need to be evaluated so as to accomplish the purpose of the program (Connell, Kubisch, Schorr & Weiss, 1995). One of the programmatic purposes of human service programs is to monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department. Any department or even sector requires frequent checks to make sure that it is functioning well and according to the purpose. This purpose is very crucial in the execution of the human service program goals. It needs to be evaluated to make sure that the functions of the health and human service department are in line with the programmatic purposes of the program.
· Assessing internal control over compliance requirements to provide reasonable assurance.
The compliance requirements are very crucial in every program as they make sure that the program is in line with its goals and makes sure it works towards achieving its stipulated outcomes. This purpose needs to be evaluated to m ...

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

7. What to look for!
This program is designed to reinforce positive
behavioral changes through positive reinforcement
and immediate consequences thus giving juveniles a
“second chance” at improving lifestyle, well-being
etc. Requirements were established to correspond
with a juvenile’s individual treatment plan, and assist
the resident to internalize change as individual growth
and internalized values change. There are three
phases that juveniles or residents must complete to
advance through treatment program while in
residential treatment.
Type of Program: Therapeutic Community Model

21. Applicable Federal Laws
28 CFR 2.106 - Youth Rehabilitation Act:
(a) Regulations governing YRA offenders and D.C.
Code FYCA offenders. Unless the judgment and
commitment order provides otherwise, the provisions of
this section shall apply to an offender sentenced under
the Youth Rehabilitation Act of 1985 (D.C. Code 24-901
et seq.) (YRA) who committed his offense before 5 p.m.,
August 11, 2000, and a D.C. Code offender sentenced
under the former Federal Youth Corrections Act (former
18 U.S.C. 5005 et seq.) (FYCA). An offender sentenced
under the YRA who committed his offense (or who
continued to commit his offense) on or after 5 p.m.,
August 11, 2000, is not eligible for release on parole, but
may be terminated from a term of supervised release
before the expiration of the term and receive a
certificate setting aside the conviction under § 2.208(f).
22. 28 CFR 2.106 - Youth
Rehabilitation Act: Continued
(b) Application of this subpart to YRA offenders. All
provisions of this subpart that apply to adult offenders
also apply to YRA offenders unless a specific
exception is made for YRA (or youth) offenders.
(c) No further benefit finding. If there is a finding that a
YRA offender will derive no further benefit from
treatment, such prisoner shall be considered for
parole, and for any other action, exclusively under the
provisions of this subpart that are applicable to adult
offenders. Such a finding may be made pursuant to
D.C. Code 24-905 by the Department of Corrections
or by the Bureau of Prisons, and shall be promptly
forwarded to the Commission. However, if the finding
is appealed to the sentencing judge, the prisoner will
continue to be treated under the provisions pertaining
to YRA offenders until the judge makes a final
decision denying the appeal.
23. 28 CFR 2.106 - Youth Rehabilitation
Act: Continued
d) (1) Program plans and using program achievement
to set the parole date. At a YRA prisoner's initial parole
hearing, a program plan for the prisoner's treatment
shall be submitted by institutional staff and reviewed by
the hearing examiner. Any proposed modifications to
the plan shall be discussed at the hearing, although
further relevant information may be presented and
considered after the hearing. The plan shall adequately
account for the risk implications of the prisoner's current
offense and criminal history and shall address the
prisoner's need for rehabilitational training. The
program plan shall also include an estimated date of
completion. The criteria at § 2.64(d) for successful
response to treatment programs shall be considered by
the Commission in determining whether the proposed
program plan would effectively reduce the risk to the
24. 28 CFR 2.106 - Youth Rehabilitation
Act: Continued
(2) The youth offender's response to treatment programs and
program achievement shall be considered with other relevant
factors, such as the offense and parole prognosis, in
determining when the youth offender should be conditionally
released under supervision. See § 2.64(e). The guidelines at §
2.80(k) -(m) on awarding superior program achievement and
the subtraction of any award in determining the total guideline
range shall not be used in the decision.
(e) Parole violators. A YRA parolee who has had his parole
revoked shall be scheduled for a rehearing within six months of
the revocation hearing to review the new program plan
prepared by institutional staff, unless a parole effective date is
granted after the revocation hearing. Such program plan shall
reflect a thorough reassessment of the prisoner's
rehabilitational needs in light of the prisoner's failure on parole.
Decisions on reparole shall be made using the guidelines at §
2.80. If a YRA parolee is sentenced to a new prison term of one
year or more for a crime committed while on parole, the case
shall be referred to correctional authorities for consideration of
25. 28 CFR 2.106 - Youth Rehabilitation
Act: Continued
(f) Unconditional discharge from supervision. (1) A
YRA parolee may be unconditionally discharged
from supervision after service of one year on
parole supervision if the Commission finds that
supervision is no longer needed to protect the
public safety. A review of the parolee's file shall
be conducted after the conclusion of each year of
supervision upon receipt of an annual progress
report, and upon receipt of a final report to be
submitted by the supervision officer six months
prior to the sentence expiration date.
26. 28 CFR 2.106 - Youth Rehabilitation
Act: Continued
(2) In making a decision concerning unconditional discharge, the Commission
shall consider the facts and circumstances of each case, focusing on the risk
the parolee poses to the public and the benefit he may obtain from further
supervision. The decision shall be made after an analysis of case-specific
factors, including, but not limited to, the parolee's prior criminal history, the
offense behavior that led to his conviction, record of drug or alcohol
dependence, employment history, stability of residence and family
relationships, and the number and nature of any incidents while under
supervision (including new arrests, alleged parole violations, and criminal
investigations).
(3) An order of unconditional discharge from supervision terminates the YRA
offender's sentence. Whenever a YRA offender is unconditionally discharged
from supervision, the Commission shall issue a certificate setting aside the
offender's conviction. If the YRA offender is not unconditionally discharged
from supervision prior to the expiration of his sentence, a certificate setting
aside the conviction may be issued nunc pro tunc if the Commission finds
that the failure to issue the decision on time was due to administrative delay
or error, or that the Supervision Officer failed to present the Commission with
a progress report before the end of the supervision term, and the offender's

Act 150 of 1974 - YOUTH REHABILITATION SERVICES
ACT (803.301 - 803.309)
YOUTH REHABILITATION SERVICES ACT
Act 150 of 1974
AN ACT to provide for the acceptance, care, and
discharge of youths committed as public wards;
to prescribe the liability for the cost of services for
public wards; to prescribe procedures for the
return of public wards who absent themselves
without permission; to provide a penalty for the
violation of this act; and to repeal acts and parts
of acts.
28. Public Law 96-272
of 1980
The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act, amends
the Social
Security Act 42 USC 601 et seq. and provides the federal
basis for
placement services to children. The intent of this law is to
strengthen
permanency planning for children nationwide. Under this
law, the
Department of Human Services (DHS) must document that:
• Reasonable efforts have been made to prevent removal
of youths
from their family.
• Efforts are continually being made to return the youth to
the parental home.
• A permanency plan is developed for all youth under
DHS supervision.
29. Public Act 73 of 1988 (803.224 et seq).
The Juvenile Facilities Act mandates that if a
juvenile is within the jurisdiction of the circuit court
the department must prepare a written report to
the court prior to the juvenile’s sentencing. This
report is to include a recommendation as to
whether the juvenile is more likely to be
rehabilitated by the services and facilities
available in adult programs and procedures than
in juvenile programs and procedures.
30. Public Act 56 of2003 (MCL 3.691 et
seq.)
The Interstate Compact for Juveniles Act provides
the foundation for DHS supervision of out-of-state
wards, obtaining out-of-state supervision for
Michigan wards, and provisions for returning
runaway youth across state lines.
31. Local Applicable Laws
According to Superior Court Judge Steele,
Attorney Jeffrey Moorehead and Attorney
Dewese:
There are no local specific laws in terms of youth
rehabilitation, however the following laws would
be required:
501 C(3) Status Law: Tax Exemption
Insurance Laws
Juvenile Confidentiality Laws
Approval and Sanctioning by the Department of
Human Services
Business Laws
32. 501C(3) Status Law
To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated
exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3),
and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or
individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it
may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of
its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity
for or against political candidates.
Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are commonly
referred to as charitable organizations. Organizations described
in section 501(c)(3), other than testing for public safety
organizations, are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions
in accordance with Code section 170.
The organization must not be organized or operated for the
benefit of private interests, and no part of a section 501(c)(3)
organization's net earnings may inure to the benefit of any
private shareholder or individual. If the organization engages in
an excess benefit transaction with a person having substantial
influence over the organization, an excise tax may be imposed
on the person and any organization managers agreeing to the
transaction.
34. Funding Source
This program is federally
funded by the federal
government.
It is an alternative to
juvenile incarceration (i.e.
Youth Rehabilitation
Center).
It is also an extension of
court referrals: Referrals
can be done by social
workers, court system,
educational system
(school administrators and
teachers), and parents
accompanied with further
investigation from the
Department of Human
35. Advocacy
Outreach Program:
We found that the
most successful
method would be
presentations held at
local schools.
These presentations
would incorporate:
lectures conducted by
professionals involved
in program as well as
activities to stimulate
interest in our
36. Whom We Presented To…
As a required portion of our presentation, we
presented our program and presentation to
Judge Steele at The Superior Court of the Virgin
Islands located near Central High School.
After viewing and listening to our presentation,
Judge Steele had the following remarks:
“Therapeutic based programs are the most
effective in terms of youth rehabilitation. The
primary purpose of juvenile courts should be
purely therapeutic. Also, one cannot function
without the other; meaning that our program
would not be able to function without the
therapeutic-community based model.
