This document summarizes polling data from the Kaiser Family Foundation regarding public awareness and opinions about the Zika virus. Some key findings include:
- Most Americans (92%) have heard of Zika and about two-thirds correctly know there have been US cases. However, few (13%) know of the link between Zika and adult paralysis.
- Majorities support increased government funding for Zika research, prevention and control efforts at home and abroad. However, only 40% think the US is doing enough to address the domestic outbreak.
- Women express more worry about Zika than men, and over half see pregnant women as facing a major threat from the virus.

Recessive Gene Screening is a simple blood test from one or both parents that can be done either before conception or after conception. A parent can be a carrier for a particular disease and be symptom free. Having one normal copy of the gene is sufficient to prevent the disease. However, if both parents are carriers of the same disease, there is a chance that they can pass down either their normal copy or the mutated copy of the gene to their offspring. If both parents are carriers for the same genetic disease, then there is 1 in 4 (or 25%) chance of having an affected child.

Two polls conducted in 2020 have shown that Americans are experiencing high levels of anxiety. Nearly two-thirds of Americans have noted a significant increase in their anxiety levels since last year. This distress is being fueled by several factors. For instance, more than 65 percent of Americans report being highly anxious about climate change and its detrimental impacts on the planet.
A similar percentage expressed anxiety over finances and making ends meet. In addition, more than 75 percent were concerned about their own and loved ones' health and safety, especially in regard to contagious diseases and gun violence. Anxiety over the country's political situation has also increased compared to previous years.

Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV) and obesity is running ramped in the state of Virginia. HIV is a virus that can lead to AIDS if it is not properly diagnosed and treated. Unlike many viruses, the human body cannot rid itself completely of the virus, even when treated with proper care (HIV, n.d.). Once a person has the virus they have it for life! It is truly a life sentence. There is no cure for the virus, only medications that allow one to be comfortable as they live with the virus. HIV attacks the body’s immune system, specifically T Cells. Overtime, the destruction of these cells causes one to not be able to fight of infection or other illnesses. Oxford Dictionary, defines obesity as, the condition of being grossly overweight (Oxford, n.d.) This can be caused by poor eating habits, thyroid complications, or lack of exercise. Each one of these issues have been brought to health care providers as a major concern for the Hamptons Roads area and the state of Virginia as a whole.
HIV effects many different communities and is not specific to any race, gender, ethnicity, and or age group. It is known to widely effect the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Queer (LGBTQ) community yet is still a problem for all people. The reason this community takes a heavy hit to the illness is due to homosexual sexual interactions, with most of the contraction rates being male to male relationships. This is a sexually transmitted disease yet it can also be
presented in one’s life through other sources, such as, birth, heterosexual relationships, and injection drug use. If sex is a part of any person life old or the risk of contracting HIV is there.
As of 2015, it said that 21,607 people are living with AIDS in Virginia (AIDSSVU, n.d.). 73.6 percent of these people were male and 26.4 percent of this population were female. If broken down by race, 58.3 percent were black, 8.8 percent were Hispanic/Latino, and about 28.4 percent were white. The rate of black men living with the disease was 5.6 times that of their white counterparts, along with women, coming in at 16.1 times higher than white females. In 2016, there were 893 new cases of persons diagnosed with AIDS (AIDSSVU, n.d.) In Virginia, the estimated percent of AIDS diagnoses within three months of initial HIV diagnosis in 2015, was 82.3 percent diagnosed with HIV and 17.7 percent diagnosed with AIDS (AIDSSVU, n.d.). In 2015, in the male transmission category of people living with diagnosed HIV, 8.1 percent contracted the virus through drug use, 11.1 percent with heterosexual contact, 74.1 percent male-to-male sexual contact, and 5.6 percent both male-to-male contact and injection drug use, with 1.1 percent through other sources. Female transmissions were 16.5 percent injection drug use, 80.5 percent heterosexual contact, and 3.0 percent through other methods.
The state if Virginia offers many programs both on.
Clinical research shows that tracking symptoms and other indicators is a low-cost, effective health intervention. The Pew Research Center undertook the first national survey to measure U.S. adults' own health tracking habits and found that they vary according to someone's chronic condition and caregiver status.

It started with 25 young gay men who attended a digital storytelling workshop organized by Greater Than AIDS and partners in Washington, DC in September 2015. The result was 25 powerful personal videos that launched the #SpeakOutHIV movement. Now more than 70 strong, the #SpeakOutHIV ambassadors are between 18-25 from various geographic locations, educational backgrounds and careers. The videos document intensely personal, sometimes emotional moments, and shed light on how a generation grapples with the virus and what they are doing to protect their health, regardless of status. #SpeakOutHIV is the social media component of the broader Speak Out campaign from Greater Than AIDS, which seeks to re-engage the LGBTQ youth community in confronting the silence and stigma that still surrounds HIV. #SpeakOutHIV tackles the challenge with a simple concept: Empower LGBTQ youth with the knowledge and skills to speak out about HIV where they are: on social media.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
