Public Health Strategy

(U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs, OMHSP, 2020)
VA's public health strategy combines partnerships with communities to implement tailored, local prevention
plans while also focusing on evidence based clinical strategies for intervention. Our approach focuses on both
what we can do now, in the short term, and over the long term, to implement VA’s National Strategy for
Preventing Veteran Suicide.

Suicide Prevention Team Integration and Coordination

Both SPCs and CEPCs work together to fully implement the public health approach combining community

This presentation was delivered at NADO's Annual Training Conference, held in Anchorage, Alaska on September 9-12, 2017. A growing body of research shows that people living in rural communities experience inequities in health and well-being compared to their urban counterparts. The NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is conducting formative research to explore opportunities to improve health and equity in rural communities using an asset-based community development approach. This session will provide an overview of rural health disparities data, followed by preliminary findings and key recommendations to strengthen rural communities based on an enhanced understanding of culture and history, priorities, assets, partners, and promising strategies unique to and common across rural communities and regions.

Background and Importance: Violence stands as a significant cause of death in the United States, contributing to various health and mental health issues. The role of psychologists has evolved into an essential component of healthcare. Despite a decrease over several decades, rates of violence have begun to rise again. However, the prevailing approach often focuses on managing the aftermath of violence rather than tackling its underlying causes. Each community possesses its own distinct profile of factors that either elevate or mitigate the risk of violence. Primary Care Behavioral Health Integration presents a broadly applicable method for preventing violence, offering a hyper-local approach that targets the specific health needs of individuals, families, and communities. By adapting established evidence-based strategies for healthcare improvement, primary prevention can significantly reduce violence. Methods and Description: This presentation will provide practical tools and general measures to effectively merge behavioral healthcare with primary care systems, fostering violence reduction at the levels of the community, healthcare facility, and healthcare providers. The implementation of universal precautions for violence reduction will be outlined, along with a structured approach to establish violence reduction advocates and teams. These teams will be equipped to assess the unique local risks, manifestations, and impacts of violence within the community they serve. Outcomes: Through the incorporation of a 7-factor violence risk reduction strategy within primary care behavioral health, collaborative multidisciplinary teams can effectively diminish instances of interpersonal, individual, and community violence. The application of the "four Ts" model (Training, Triage, Treatment, Team Care) empowers primary care clinicians and integrated healthcare settings to enhance individual clinical outcomes, overall clinic population health, and actively champion community-wide violence reduction.

Elder Abuse Elder abuse is the intentional action which infringes harm or develops a dangerous risk of harm among the elderly. Elder abuse involves the failure of the caregivers to meet the elder’s basic needs and also safeguard the elder from harm. -More than 18, 000 elderly individuals in Canada are subjected to more than one form of abuse. -About 4% of elders in Canadian Private dwellings have been abused. Effects of Elder Abuse • Physiological Distress • Depression • Fear • Anxiety o Chronic pain Causes of Elder Abuse • Lack of social support • Family stress • Cultural issues • Persistence of domestic violence Types of Elder Abuse • Physical abuse • Verbal abuse • Emotional abuse • Sexual abuse How to prevent Elder Abuse • Building supports to keep the community safe • Increase funding • Supporting primary caregivers • Keeping the elders active • Protecting elders from high-risk caregivers Elder Abuse Jamiah Riddick Walden University FPSY - 6206; Family Violence Dr. Millimen March 15th, 2021 Introduction Elder abuse is the intentional action that infringes harm or develops a fatal risk of harm. It is as well the failure by the caregivers to meet the elder’s basic needs or to safeguard the elder from harm. There has been limited research that has been conducted on elder abuse (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). This study will major on elder abuse as well as the different ways that can be used to handle elder abuse. Methods To identify the current status as well as quality of elder abuse study, a well-detailed research of health science literature was carried out and every article was graded. All literature searches were carried out from the inception of every index through March 10, 2014 (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). Results The majority of the elderly have suffered from abuse. In a period of 10 months, 40 cases, 51% had been physically abused, 10% had hearing as well as visual impairment and 41% were physically abused (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). The most common form of abuse among these individuals was physical, psychological as well as material abuse. Discussion Based on the study, elder abuse is a worldwide public health as well as human right issue and the abuse of old individuals are related to inappropriate health outcomes from minor injuries to disabilities, long-lasting psychological issues, suicide, and maximized risk of being hospitalized (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). Elderly abuse can be handled through counseling, adult day care programs, educating people on how to recognize and report elder abuse, and listening to the older people and their caregivers to understand their challenges and give support. Conclusion The older adult population is increasing at a high rate in the U.S. in comparison to the younger people. many older individuals need care and are vulnerable to violence from their caregivers. ...

Running Head: COMMUNITY ANALYSIS 1 Community Analysis The most prevalent risk factors among racial and ethnic minorities are unprotected vaginal or anal sex, inadequate sex education, improving access to prevention and care services and drug use. Jackson, MS has a population of 173,212, with median household income of $32,250. Poverty is one of the major contributing factors to the risky behaviors and the rise of HIV infections within racial/ethnic minority youths. The residents with incomes below the poverty level in Jackson, MS by 2015 was 39.9%, and those with income below 50% of the poverty level was 19.2%, the breakdown is between ages 13 to 19 years of poor residents in Jackson, MS and the percentage is below half of poverty level of 20%. The most common race or ethnicity living below the poverty line in Jackson, MS is Black or African American, followed by White and Hispanic or Latino. The state of homelessness is on the rise and many of these shelters in Jackson, MS now have waiting lists with majority of its occupants are racial/ethnic minority. Even with the waiting lists, those that need to be sheltered will have to call ahead to confirm (City Data, 2015). Mississippi is one of the most rustic states in the United States and its population is perhaps the poorest. According to the 2010 Census, Mississippi has a population of 2,967,297 people, with a racial distribution of 59% white, 37% black, 3% Hispanic, and 2% other. Mississippi ranks second in the nation (after the District of Columbia) for the highest proportion of African Americans. Through U.S. Census Bureau 2011 American Community Surveys, Mississippi levels the first in the country for the number of people living in poverty (22.6% of the total population) and the lowest middle household revenue ($36,919) (United State Census Bureau, 2011). According to the 2011 National HIV Surveillance Report, Mississippi had the 4th highest rate of HIV infection in the United States. The state’s capital city, Jackson, had the third highest rate of HIV diagnoses within aged 13 to 19 years and the eighth highest AIDS diagnosis by metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in 2011. For the past twenty years, numbers of peoples living with HIV in Mississippi has risen yearly. By the end of December 31, 2013, there was approximately 10,473 Mississippians living with HIV (National HIV Surveillance Report, 2013). Secondary data Jackson, MS the state’s capital city and with the most new HIV disease cases are identified in the West Central Public Health District V, which includes the metropolitan Jackson Hinds area, where 47% of all persons with HIV disease in Mississippi reside presently (Mississippi State Department of Health, 2015).

Maternal & Child Health Among Detroit Michigan’s Lower Socioeconomic Group Delroy Barnett Christina Bergman Maria Victoria Blanton Veverly Brooks Jennifer Castro Ashford University HCA415- Public and Community Health Instructor: Tynan Mara April 6, 2015 1 Target Population Detroit Michigan Population:688,701 Percent of White American: 10.6% Percent of Black American: 82.7% Percentage of Women: 52.7% Pregnancy Related Deaths 36.6 per 100,000 births. Pregnancy Associates Deaths 75 pre 100,000 births. Pregnancy Related deaths - 50.8 per 100,000 births in African Americans. -3rd highest in nation As of 2010, Detroit Michigan has a total population of 688,701 people. Of the 688,701 people, 10.6 % are White American and 82.7% are Black American. The community of Detroit is dealing with a rising concern with maternal health and pregnancy related mortality rates. Of the total population, 52.7% (or 362,945) are women. The cause of mortality among maternal mothers is obstetric causes, medical, accidents, suicide, assaults, and other causes. Per year on average, 6 women die from pregnancy issues, this amount is three times higher than that of the national average. These high mortality rates are more common in African American women than other races. Pregnancy related deaths among African Americans is 50.8 per 100,000 live births. This makes Detroit Michigan the third highest city of pregnancy related mortality in the nation. The high mortality rates in Detroit are due to health conditions, poverty, and proper health care. These numbers show that it is dangerous for a pregnant women to live and give birth in Detroit. 2 Thesis Statement Thesis The health disparities among women and children in Detroit are some of the worst in the nation. “The maternal mortality rate for black mothers in 2002 was almost 25 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to nearly 6 deaths per 100,000 live births among white mothers and more than 7 deaths…among Hispanic mothers” (National Institute of Health, 2006, p.x). That is nearly four times the national average. More focus needs to be placed on maternal and child health in low socio-economic areas of Detroit. Factors & Causes Over 40% of population is living in poverty Chronic Diseases Limited access/ quality of health care Obstetric, Medical, Accidents leading cause While normally a major health concern in less developed countries, maternal and child health in the United States has become a major concern. “Child mortality is highly preventable and can be reduced greatly through improvement of environmental conditions and hygiene levels, as well as increased parental compliance with immunizations for vaccine preventable diseases…Many of these deaths were caused by preventable or easily treatable condition or by malnutrition (WHO, 2012c; WHO, 2012a)” (Friis, Bell, & Philibert, 2013). Poverty is a detrimental impact on the maternal health of women in Detroit. With the me ...

Yesterday in Lagos, I had the honour of delivering a lecture titled “If this Giant Must Walk; Manifesto for a New Nigeria“ at the Inaugural Memorial Lecture of Prince Emeka Obasi, founder and publisher of Business Hallmark and the inspirational figure behind the Public Policy Research and Analysis Centre - promoters of the revered Zik Leadership and Governance Awards. My lecture focused on the challenges of nation-building in Nigeria and how we can approach them in a way that promotes progress and unity. I discussed the many sources of concern about our country’s future prospects, including violent conflicts, revisionist contestations of the Amalgamation Act of 1914, discontent with the Nigerian economy, and dysfunctions in the federal system. Central to my lecture was the call to address these challenges by crafting a new manifesto for Nigeria. This manifesto, I proposed, should champion integrity, compassion, character, competence, and commitment to national unity and progress within a framework of democratic governance and cultural diversity. I firmly believe that by doing so, we can guide Nigeria to stride forward with pride and purpose. I want to thank the Board and Management of the Public Policy Forum for their kind invitation to speak at this important event and for their commitment to promoting public policy research and analysis in Nigeria. My gratitude also to the late Prince Emeka Obasi, a true inspiration and a builder of bridges across divides, for his contributions to the country. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

I had the honour of delivering the Keynote Address at the 34th Annual Conference of the Nigerian Political Science Association (NPSA) in Lokoja. The conference theme, "Governance and Nation-Building in Nigeria: Some Reflections on Options for Policy," is relevant and timely. The challenges of nation-building are manifesting worldwide, including our continent and country. Violent conflicts and subterranean discord and discontent are prevalent, and the revival of irredentist ethno-regional and religious identities further complicates the situation. I believe that the conference was a great opportunity to discuss these challenges and reflect on practical policy options. I salute the President of the NPSA, Professor Hassan Saliu, for his leadership and the Executive Committee's effort to mobilize the membership despite a paucity of resources and the prevailing tough economic times. I am optimistic that the NPSA will continue to thrive, and I urge all of us to work towards the continued stability and unity of our country.
