Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Week from February 11-15, 2019 aims to raise awareness about the importance of sexual health for Canadians. Sexual health involves having positive and respectful relationships free from stigma, coercion or violence. Maintaining good communication and sexual health also means preventing sexually transmitted infections through condom use or testing. However, rates of infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are rising in Canada, especially among youth and older adults. Untreated infections can lead to long-term health issues. The government is working to address sexually transmitted infections by improving access to testing, treatment, support, and reducing stigma.

This document discusses diabetes, including what causes it and its relationship to public health. It notes that demographic, surveillance, and vital statistics data can provide background on communities and track health conditions. Several factors influence diabetes prevalence, like weight, exercise, age, family history, race and gender. The effects of diabetes extend from communities to states and nations. Possible solutions include education, diet, exercise, stress management and commitment. The goal is to reduce the disease and economic burden of diabetes.
Richer you are, healthier you'll be
The study found that higher income levels are associated with lower prevalence of diseases and better health outcomes. It found steadily improving health measures like life expectancy and overall health with increasing income levels. While poorer health is more common among minorities, much of the difference can be explained by income disparities between racial and ethnic groups. Higher income individuals have lower rates of diseases like strokes and diabetes. The relationship between health and income is complex as each reinforces the other. Poorer health can negatively impact income potential while lower incomes limit access to nutritious foods, healthcare, and other health-promoting resources. Stagnating wages and rising inequality affect the overall health of the population.
Gender Differences in Health Care, Status, and Use: Spotlight on Men's Health
1) Men report worse access to health care than women. Fewer men have a regular doctor or place to go for care, see a clinician regularly, or have had a medical visit in the past two years. Low-income and uninsured men face even greater barriers.
2) Cost is a significant barrier to care for many men, with poorer and uninsured men much more likely to delay or go without needed care due to inability to pay. Non-financial barriers like transportation and time constraints also prevent many men from receiving care.
3) Men are less likely than women to receive some recommended preventive services like general checkups, blood pressure checks, and cholesterol screens. Improving preventive care for men could help

The proposed wellness center will focus on both physical and social-emotional wellness through affordable classes that build community. Classes will include activities like Zumba, yoga, and team sports to encourage physical health while forging relationships and supporting mental health. The center aims to address the high obesity rates in the area by promoting an active lifestyle and making fitness accessible to all residents regardless of income.
Intervention power point
The document outlines a proposed awareness campaign for early detection and prevention of diabetes among minority residents ages 20 and older who are at risk but not yet diagnosed. It aims to reduce mortality, morbidity, and the economic burden of diabetes. The campaign would use the Health Belief Model to increase perceived susceptibility and risks to motivate behavior change. Objectives include developing an advisory committee, recruiting volunteers, evaluating the process, and collecting data on behavior changes and incidence/prevalence pre- and post-campaign.

Putting Social Determinants in Perspective for Policymakers
Putting Social Determinants in Perspective for PolicymakersVDH, Office of Minority Health and Public Health Policy
Presentation by Steven H. Woolf, MD, MPH at the 2009 Virginia Health Equity Conference.
Dr. Woolf shared research on the dramatic influences of social conditions on health inequities nationally and in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He also discussed the importance of packaging the evidence in compelling formats for policymakers and the public.90110 pp tx_ch08
This document discusses health issues for three age groups: adolescents and young adults (ages 15-24), adults (ages 25-64), and the elderly (ages 65 and over). For adolescents and young adults, risky health behaviors like unintentional injuries, violence, substance abuse and unsafe sex are major causes of mortality and morbidity. Community health strategies aim to address social and cultural influences on behaviors in this age group. Adults experience most chronic diseases associated with unhealthy lifestyles earlier in life. Community efforts focus on prevention, screening and management of conditions like cancer, heart disease and obesity.
Initial Thesis Pitch: Proactive Healthy Living in Baltimore
This is my initial thesis pitch based on the thesis question: How can we empower residents of East Baltimore—with a focus on women—to engage in regular physical activity as a means to improve their overall health and quality of life?My theory of change, which I will be exploring over the next 4 months, is that increased awareness of the transformative benefits of proactive healthy living and an easy way to engage will help activate the East Baltimore community toward an improved quality of life. This is achieved by working from the ground up—engaging residents to be champions and glean key insights from them, and then feeding all that into the bigger network of health and wellness that is being developed in East Baltimore.

25 Reasons Why Women Must Take Charge of Healthcare NOW!
Lack of healthcare affects women and children most in America. Why are women not leading the way to change? In the wake of devastating change in Congress regarding healthcare, women and children will bear the brunt of its failure, unless action is taken now.
Article on NCD.Daily News
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancers are the leading causes of death worldwide, responsible for 60% of all deaths globally. NCD prevalence is rapidly increasing in Sri Lanka and is linked to risk factors like unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and obesity. These risk factors are commonly seen in Sri Lanka and have contributed to higher NCD mortality rates than in many developed countries. While knowledge of NCDs and their risk factors is important, many Sri Lankans remain unaware of their NCD status due to a lack of screening and education. Widespread lifestyle changes are needed to address the growing NCD burden through healthy diets, regular exercise and the avoidance
Obesity
Obesity rates have been rising nationally, with over 40% of men and 30% of women overweight or obese by 2002. If current trends continue, there will be over 12 million obese adults and 1 million obese children by 2010. Obesity increases the risk of diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Childhood obesity is also rising, and is difficult to address as children depend on adults to guide healthy eating and exercise. Targets aim to reduce the annual rise in childhood obesity rates. Key actions needed include expanding family services, targeting at-risk groups, and establishing referral systems for healthcare professionals.
Ways of Looking 1
Throughout history, body image has been influenced by politics and media which has led to increased body dissatisfaction and disordered eating among both men and women. Eating disorders affect 70 million people worldwide, especially women aged 12-25, though over 1 million men also struggle with eating disorders. There are many contributing factors like unrealistic expectations, a need for control, depression, or life crises. Without treatment, up to 20% of people with eating disorders will die, while treatment is partially or fully successful in 60-80% of cases depending on the individual. The project aims to create awareness of the link between media exposure and negative body image/disordered eating, especially among those aged 10-25 who are most commonly affected.
Gender and health ppt
This document discusses gender differences in health and discusses various health indicators in the Philippines. It notes that while women live about 5 years longer than men on average, they tend to be sicker. It also provides statistics on maternal mortality in the Philippines, noting the number of mothers who die during or shortly after childbirth has risen in recent years. The document also covers traditional and modern contraceptive methods and includes statistics on HIV cases in the country.
MRC/info4africa KZN Community Forum | March 2013
Nhanhla Vezi, Men's Programme Co-Ordinator at The Valley Trust highlighted three key programmes of the organization related to men's health - Reproductive Health, Men as Partners and the Male Medical Circumcision (MMC) campaign. In terms of Reproductive Health, Nhanhla's presentation showed how critical it is to bring men on board, leading them towards an understanding that taking care of their health is directly beneficial to both them and their families. Partnering with men in the fight against HIV and Gender-Based Violence is an important component of the Men as Partners campaign, whilst the Male Medical Circumcision (MMC) programme focused on persuading men to undertake MMC and the role of community mobilisation in this regard.
Gender Analysis of health and nutrition
This document presents a gender analysis of health and nutrition. It discusses how gender refers to socially constructed roles and relationships between the sexes. It outlines the nutritional needs of women at different life stages including pregnancy, lactation, adolescence, and old age. It also discusses common deficiency diseases that affect women and girls. The document concludes that women are often victims of food discrimination which compromises their nutritional status and health as well as that of female family members.
Women
This document discusses several health issues that disproportionately affect women globally. It notes that while women live longer on average, factors like unequal access to healthcare and discrimination lead to lower quality of life and increased health risks. Violence against women is common in many parts of the world and increases risks of injury, disease, and mental health issues. Early marriage before age 18 also affects many girls in developing countries and increases risks during pregnancy and childbirth. Maternal mortality during or after childbirth remains high in developing nations. The document encourages raising awareness of these issues and supporting efforts against violence towards women internationally.
Hopeful Heart Project
This document provides a rationale for the Hopeful Heart Project, a 12-week program aimed at reducing cardiovascular disease risk in African American women aged 30-54 in Coatesville, PA. It outlines that heart disease is a leading cause of death for this population and risk factors like obesity, diabetes and physical inactivity are highly prevalent. The program will use nutrition education, fitness classes, and a faith-based approach at a local church to help participants adopt healthier behaviors to prevent heart disease.
Lives Turned Upside Down: The Impact of Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a rare inflammatory disease that can affect any organ and impacts over 200,000 people in the United States. It often takes years to diagnose, with over 14% of patients waiting over 5 years. The disease leaves patients feeling like "a shell of a man" and "not that queen" they once were, as it disrupts their ability to work, participate in family life, and causes fatigue, side effects of medication, depression, and more. A survey found the top burdens of sarcoidosis are fatigue, side effects of medication, inability to work, depression, and its effects on family life.
Social Determinants of Health and Equity: The Impacts of Racism on Health
Social Determinants of Health and Equity: The Impacts of Racism on HealthVDH, Office of Minority Health and Public Health Policy
Presentation by Camara Jones, MD, MPH, PhD at the 2009 Virginia Health Equity Conference.
Dr. Jones presents the “Cliff Analogy” for understanding four levels of health intervention: medical care, secondary prevention, primary prevention, and addressing the social determinants of health. She described how health disparities arise on three levels (differences in quality of care, differences in access to care, and differences in underlying exposures and opportunities) and expand the “Cliff Analogy” to illustrate the relationship between addressing the social determinants of health and addressing the social determinants of equity, which is a fifth level of health intervention.
She identifies racism as one of the social determinants of equity and a fundamental cause of “racial”/ethnic health disparities in the United States, with racism defined as a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on the social interpretation of how one looks, which is what we call “race.” She described how racism impacts health on three levels (institutionalized, personally-mediated, and internalized) and animate understanding of these levels of racism with her “Gardener’s Tale” allegory.
Finally, using data from the “Reactions to Race” module on the 2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, she examined the relationship between responses to “How do other people usually classify you in this country?” and self-rated general health status to provide evidence of the impacts of racism on health. Dr. Jones challenges us to broaden the scope of our public health interventions by asking the question “How is racism operating here?” and then working to create a system in which ALL people are highly valued and ALL people are able to develop to their full potential.Riding the Wave: Counting the Library as Community Benefits
The document summarizes a hospital librarian's involvement in their city hospital's Community Benefits Implementation Strategy Team. The team worked to reduce the hospital's identified 15 community health needs down to 3-4 focal points. Through a ranking and voting process, the team selected four priority health needs: care coordination, infant health, access to mental healthcare, and diet-related diseases. The librarian proposes how the library can support initiatives addressing these needs through health education materials, community space for meetings, and involvement in related coalitions. The presentation encourages other hospital departments to report their community outreach efforts so they can be included in the community benefits report.

Wisewoman conference presentation
The document discusses the role and mindsets of an effective coach. It emphasizes building partnership and empowering clients by helping them connect with their inner guidance. An effective coach approaches clients with the mindsets that they are naturally capable, it is the client's life, and success comes from alignment. They feel empowered and don't need to be experts. The coach's goals are to build partnership, help clients connect to their values, and provide tools like active listening, powerful questions, and focusing on client strengths to inspire action.
The gift of groups
This document discusses different types of groups and levels of participation that can be used to engage women in making health behavior changes. It outlines informal and formal groups, as well as groups focused on information presentation, skill building, decision making, and participant support. Informal groups are best for providing information or building skills, while formal groups work well for decision making and peer support over multiple sessions. The key is identifying existing groups women participate in or recruiting peer mentors to connect women to group resources and support behavior change.

INTRODUCTION ◊ 1
MESSAGE FROM THE SURGEON
GENERAL
Our nation stands at a crossroads. Today’s
epidemic of overweight and obesity threatens the
historic progress we have made in increasing
American’s quality and years of healthy life.
Two-third of adults1 and nearly one in three
children are overweight or obese.2 In addition,
many racial and ethnic groups and geographic
regions of the United States are
disproportionately affected.3 The sobering impact
of these numbers is reflected in the nation’s
concurrent epidemics of diabetes, heart disease,
and other chronic diseases. If we do not reverse
these trends, researchers warn that many of our
children—our most precious resource—will be
seriously afflicted in early adulthood with
medical conditions such as diabetes and heart
disease. This future is unacceptable. I ask you to
join me in combating this crisis.
Every one of us has an important role to play in
the prevention and control of obesity. Mothers,
fathers, teachers, business executives, child care
professionals, clinicians, politicians, and
government and community leaders—we must
all commit to changes that promote the health
and wellness of our families and communities.
As a nation, we must create neighborhood
communities that are focused on healthy nutrition
and regular physical activity, where the healthiest
choices are accessible for all citizens. Children
should be having fun and playing in
environments that provide parks, recreational
facilities, community centers, and walking and
bike paths. Healthy foods should be affordable
and accessible. Increased consumer knowledge
and awareness about healthy nutrition and
physical activity will foster a growing demand
for healthy food products and exercise options,
dramatically influencing marketing trends.
Hospitals, work sites, and communities should
make it easy for mothers to initiate and sustain
breastfeeding as this practice has been shown to
prevent childhood obesity. Working together, we
will create an environment that promotes and
facilitates healthy choices for all Americans. And
we will live longer and healthier lives.

Advocacy Paper
This document advocates for implementing a diabetes prevention program for seniors similar to one offered by the YMCA in Ohio. It summarizes that type 2 diabetes is prevalent among seniors and costs a significant amount to treat. The YMCA program helps pre-diabetic participants make lifestyle changes to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes through diet and exercise. The author argues such a program should be made available to all seniors through insurance coverage to help reduce diabetes rates and costs.
Health and Illness A Global PerspectiveHealth is the stat
This document discusses various topics related to health from a global perspective, including definitions of health, leading causes of death, life expectancy, obesity rates, and health care systems. It provides statistics on infant mortality rates and life expectancy by country. Chronic diseases, maternal health, and childhood obesity are also addressed. Mental health, eating disorders, and perspectives on the US health care system are examined through functionalist, conflict, and interactionist theories. Gender differences in health and rates of various illnesses are also summarized.
What is Obesity? How to overcome Obesity?
Obesity is a chronic complex disease defined by excessive fat deposits that can impair health.
Evidence based Practice
Healthy People 2010 aims to improve national health through two overarching goals: increasing quality and years of healthy life, and eliminating health disparities. It monitors progress through 467 objectives across 28 focus areas. Achieving its goals requires recognizing that health is determined by interactions between individual behaviors, environments, and policies targeting factors like access to healthcare. Two successful programs that exemplify this systematic approach are Action for Healthy Kids, which promotes healthy school environments, and the 100 Black Men Health Challenge, which empowers communities through lifestyle modeling and education.

Increasing Burden of NCD in Malaysia: Challenges in resource allocation
This document discusses the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Malaysia and the challenges in allocating resources. It notes that NCDs such as heart disease, diabetes, cancers and chronic lung disease account for over 75% of deaths in Malaysia and result in high economic costs. Risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity and alcohol consumption contribute significantly to the disease burden. While population-based interventions targeting these risk factors can help reduce NCD rates cost-effectively, the growing number of people with NCDs or at high risk of NCDs poses challenges for resource allocation and achieving universal healthcare coverage in Malaysia.

Public Health vs. Medical Care
In medicine, the patient is the individual; in public health, the patient is the community
Public health diagnoses the health of the community using public health sciences
Treatment of the community involves new policies and interventions
Goal of medicine is cure; goal of public health is prevention of disease and disability
Public Health: Science and Politics
Science is how we understand threats to health, determine what interventions might work, and evaluate whether the interventions worked
Politics is how we as a society make decisions about what policies to implement

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
