The health care system in Colorado is a composition of medical professionals providing services such as diagnosis, treatment, as well as preventive measures to mental illness and injuries ("Healthcare policy in Colorado - Ballotpedia," 2019). Health care policy involves the establishment and implementation of legislation and other regulations that the states use to manage its health care system effectively. Further, this sector consists of other participants, such as insurance and health information technology. The cost citizens pay for medical care and also the access to quality care influence the overall health care providers in Colorado. Therefore, the need for the creation and implementation of laws that help the state maintain efficiency in the health sector in Colorado.
Problem Statement
The declining standards of medical care within the United States has caused significant concern in the world. Due to these rising concerns, there have been various policies implemented, leading to mixed reactions among the different states. Some of the active policies implemented offer a long-term solution to this problem including Medicaid and Medicare. After acquiring state control, the Republicans dismissed the idea to expand and create medical insurance for Medicaid in Colorado. Sustaining the structure of the health care payroll calls for the deductions from the employees and the employers, which may lead to loss of jobs and increased burden of expenditure (Garcia, 2019).
Identify the Methodology
The main objective of this policy plan is to investigate the role of legislation in the management of the health care sector in the United States. Due to the need for achieving in-depth exploration, this paper uses a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection by addressing both practical and theoretical aspects of the research. Based on the answers that the policy requires, choosing survey as the research design. This method involves collecting and analyzing data from a few people who represent the principal group within health care. However, the survey method faces some challenges such as attitudes and perception of the health workers leading to the delimitation of the study. The target population for the study includes the nurses within the health sectors in Colorado. The selection of the participants involved in the use of stratified random sampling.

Medicaid is a medical assistance program developed specifically for low income individuals of any age, unlike Medicare, which is designed for those over 65 and have no income requirements (“Difference between Medicare and Medicaid”, n.d.). When health care policies are change, they affect programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. For example, when the ACA (Affordable Care Act) was implemented, it led to an increase of enrollment as it made the process easier and reached more individuals and it expanded Medicaid eligibility to low-income adults (Wachino, Artiga & Rudowitz, 2014).
In the state of Pennsylvania, a Medicaid policy that I would amend would be the Healthy PA policy, which was a Medicaid expansion that included drug and alcohol services (IRETA, 2015). The issue is the length of time it takes for someone to be admitted into a program. Whether it’s getting into an inpatient or outpatient program, the process needs to be expedited and more streamlined. Many who are suffering from substance abuse disorders struggle with finally getting themselves into a program and delaying the process could result in someone hesitating and deciding not to move forward with treatment that is crucial (IRETA, 2015).
In Pennsylvania, stakeholders include a steering committee, which is made up of hospitals, health care providers, consumers, foundations and academic institutions (“HIP”, 2019). This committee comes up with ways to improve population health and control health cost including Medicaid and Medicare. They developed a plan for heathcare delivery that will improve the quality of life for everyone, without limitations on income or background (“HIP”, 2019). This committee has 5 work groups that develop implementation plans for the goals that were developed by the committee and focus on specific aspects such as payment, price and quality transparency, population health, healthcare transformation and health information technology (“HIP”, 2019).

The United States currently has many healthcare issues that it is facing. These issues
are the main reason why a large number of people in the country face a lot of health
problems. The country is currently spending the largest amount of money on healthcare
compared to other countries. Due to this reason, many people have provided proposals for
policies that can be utilized to solve these health issues and help individuals in the country
attain a healthcare improvement. An example of the many issues that the country is facing
among others includes shortage of doctors, substance abuse, tobacco, overweight, and
obesity. Access to healthcare is a major issue that many individuals in the United States feel
the need to ensure its existence.
Many people in the United States are interested in the issue of access to healthcare.

The White House Issue: Health reforms
The Health Care Reforms are the best obsession for the United States, Majorly most of the American citizens who were responsible for originating the improvement found it helpful. Back in the year 2011, a countrywide crackdown was conducted as a way to oppose the frauds that were becoming a health concern, and the federal administration recovered almost $ 4.1 billion. The Health Care Improvement for capturing the healthcare frauds and scams allowed President Obama’s policy to enhance on strict penalties like compensation and fines. By providing the United States citizens with Patient Protection as well as, ACA (Affordable Care Act) was the ultimate presidential success for President Barack Obama (.whitehouse., 2014).
The public policy
As most of the leaders decided to adopt a firm stand with the many important issues within the American State, the essential point was the definition of the improvement of the Health Care in the United States by President Barack Obama and when discussing the fitness and care reform a lot of issues are put on focus.
The public policies are categorized into four groups which are the regulatory policy, the distributive policy, the redistributive policy and lastly the constituent policy. Every issue in the White House is organized it the way it is related to any of the four types of public systems (NCBI, 2016). The financial regime faces most of the significant issues, and many may need to be in a position to determine the problems which are related to funding system because some of these issues affect some of the American citizens.
Distributive policy as mentioned above, it is a policy that focuses on supporting the selected issues; the strategy that is behind the distributive health care is the local understanding and having a flexible organizational design. The idea of distribution is quite broad as it classifies distributive policy action towards including all the public processes that are responsible for developing as well as providing equitable access to the resources. In regards to the health issues, this may have financial aid for assisting the excluded to have access to the healthcare. Also, across funding aid to assist in the inside operations of the health institutions such as the combination of threats which enhances the inclusion of reasonably inadequate health services. Also, the appointment systems facilitate the secondary concern for the needy to access health services (Mackintosh, 2013). It also reduces the shifts regarding the fitness care regime in processes that will be able to satisfy and offer the proper access to those who are deprived by supporting the distributive promises that the government has made and having full access to healthcare services. In this kind of shift, the significant disadvantage is ...

Medicaid waivers allow states flexibility to design Medicaid programs that meet their unique needs while complying with federal requirements. The Trump administration may take a new approach to waivers by approving more waiver requests involving work requirements, lifetime limits, and partial Medicaid expansion. The National Association of Medicaid Directors advocates for waiver reform to streamline the approval process and make commonly approved waivers a permanent part of statute. There is debate around whether tailoring Medicaid to state political philosophies should be a legitimate objective of the program.

RE: Discussion - Week 9

How the evolution of health care policy has influenced programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.
America health policy shifted from environmental concerns to individual. Over time we have moved from dispensaries, to marine hospitals, to focusing on check ups. "The federal government entered briefly into health provision during Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal with the Resettlement Administration's medical cooperatives" (Popple & Leighninger, 2019). The Depression led way for prepaid programs such as, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, due to hospitals being left with unpaid hospital bills. The government stepped back in when those who were less healthy, retired, unemployed, underemployed or self employed suffered. This is when both the Democratic and Republican parties worked together to put forth proposals that would protect the senior population that was getting left out of the employer based health plans (Popple & Leighninger 2019). Hospitals were reimbursed by Medicare however, continuously rising hospital costs, resulted in the Reagan administration developing a standardized payment based on diagnosis. Medicare became their cash cow because congress was able to take advantage of the cost reduction by transferring savings in Medicare into the general deficit reduction (Popple & Leighninger, 2019).
Specific Medicaid policy in your state that should be amended, and explain how you would amend it and why.
The Medicaid policy in North Carolina that should be amended is the policy that prohibits payment for diet programs in weight loss centers. Helping recipients with their goal towards weight loss could help reduce Medicaid costs. Medicaid paying for weight loss programs could result in lowered expenses towards weight related health issues such as high blood pressure, and diabeties (dhhs.gov, 2018).
The stakeholders involved in the Medicaid and Medicare health care policy in your state, and explain the role of these stakeholders in policy development for this issue.
The stakeholders involved in the Medicaid and Medicare health care policy include ombudsmen, providers, and consumer health advocacy groups. The provide expertise and knowledge to contribute towards identifying solutions to meet the needs the people. They then work together towards developing the policy (Nguyen, & Miller, 2018).

Domestic Violence
The purpose of this analysis is to provide a wide introduction to the problem of injury in
the U.S., and help in the development of an innovative way of thinking about commencing a plan
for injury prevention. Although injuries are a major problem in the United States, they can as easily
be prevented. There are a lot of models that work in prevention of both intentional and
unintentional injuries.
Creation of a warm and welcoming environment is an effective strategy in preventing
incidences of violence at the community level. This strategy aims at addressing problems at a
community level, concentrating on the development of structured and supervised opportunities for
community members and addressing various kinds of violence through multiple types of solutions.
An entire community should be treated like a patient instead of individual-based treatment
strategies. Taking a social environment prevention strategy means that there is focus on prevention
of violence. This illustrates that apart from attaching importance in developing formal laws to
punish violence perpetrators, prevention of violence is a key element. Therefore, approaches
should be aimed at averting the incidence of both violence and injury cases in the first place.
Regulation is also an effective element in preventing unintentional injuries. This involves
passing policies related to serving alcohol, policies for legal driving age, worker safety policies
and concealed weaponry laws. These efforts result in a reduction of incidents on injuries. The
most important concept is that there are numerous ways in which a community and people, at an
individual level, can intervene to prevent injuries and violence in communities. The social
environment is very important and issues of violence should be displayed on mass media to
discourage such behaviors, while also sensitizing people on the same.
Access to Health Care
Access to health care in the United States encompasses a system of service providers that
make a complete system. In this light, the access to health care has been a subject of discussion
since the early 1870s. Importantly, the access to health care has grown over time from home health
care provision to the hospitals in large cities (Gulliford & Morgan, 2013). Notably, the history of
the health care in the United States has been motivated by the series of endless scientific
innovations over the years. In this way, the innovations have seen the system grow from the
constraints of health care access to the decline of mortality rates due to increased access to health
care. Clearly, in the early 1990s, the chronic diseases rose to be the leading causes of deaths
(Gulliford & Morgan, 2013). In this light, the developed systems that constituted of the new
procedures such as the x-rays and chemotherapy improved the health care access to the society.

The Determination of Eligibility for Medicaid
Introduction
The social health care program, Medicaid is aimed at providing health care services to the needy and those with disabilities in the United States. The Act should provide the state with the way forward or criteria to be followed in selecting the people who are to benefit from the social health program. However, over time, it has not been clear to every American citizen as to which criteria should be used in determining the needy in the society. In particular, it has been challenging on selecting the eligible citizens for the program with a focus on the level of income and the level of expenditure. For instance, the issue of “spend down” periods has posed a lot of difficulties in determining the eligibility for Medicaid. A way great issue regarding the funding, expansion, and determination of eligibility for Medicaid includes the requirement by the Supreme Court in the United States for regions such as Massachusetts to contribute the six months’ excess income towards medical expenditure before the Medicaid coverage program begins in such regions. This paper seeks to explain the issue of Medicaid coverage and the eligibility of the different level of community members. It also explores the level of government affected by the issue as well as the analysis of the eligibility of Medicaid.
Economic Issue
The social health program (Medicaid) requires adequate funding in order to cover effectively a large and needy population. While it would be more beneficial to expand the program to the other categories of people in the society such as those with disabilities, there should be constant and enough supply of funds both from the government and the good wishers such as donors to help reach out every needy member of the society. Inadequate funding is an issue since there is a large percentage of people who need medical assistance and cannot afford it unless they get subsidized medical health care or fully assisted by programs such as the Medicaid (Ford, Spicer, & Institute of Medicine (U.S.), 2012).
Coupled with the low income of most of the society members, it is clear and evident enough that the majority of the people in the United States value social programs such as Medicaid. However, failure to adequately fund the program has only led to development and implementation of strict procedures and regulations in determining those who are eligible for the program. In particular, the six-month spend down period has resulted in more complex procedures, some of which are neither clear nor understandable to society members. The methodology used has never been friendly to the low-income people; the approach involving spend down for ...
Medicaid's Role for People with Disabilities
This document discusses Medicaid and challenges for people with disabilities. It provides background on Medicaid, its role in covering people with disabilities, proposed changes to Medicaid's structure and coverage, and how Medicaid is evolving long-term care for people with disabilities. Key points include:
- Medicaid covers over 70 million low-income and disabled Americans and is the largest payer of long-term care in the US.
- 31% of non-elderly people with disabilities receive Medicaid coverage.
- Proposed changes in 2017 would have capped federal Medicaid spending, effectively ending the Medicaid expansion.
- Medicaid is shifting long-term care from institutions to home and community-based services to allow people to remain in their

The document discusses strategies to resolve health disparities in the United States using policy interventions. It begins by reviewing the Healthy People Initiative, which sets national health goals and tracks progress. The goals of Healthy People 2020 include attaining high quality lives free of disease for all groups by achieving health equity and eliminating disparities. The document then reviews frameworks for resolving racial/ethnic, socioeconomic status, and health insurance disparities through policies like anti-discrimination laws and expanding access to care. It concludes by discussing a course of action for implementing interventions through awareness, feasibility studies, and evaluation.
WGU VPT2 Task 2
This document discusses a data analysis task involving childhood obesity rates in different regions of the United States. The analysis will use data on the percentage of overweight and obese children ages 10-17 in each state. The states will be categorized into regions - East, South, Midwest, and West. A cluster analysis technique will be used to determine if there are trends in childhood obesity rates between different regions. If trends are found, government and healthcare organizations can focus obesity prevention programs on specific regions. The document provides background on the situation, data sources, and analysis methodology to be used.
NURS612 Population Health Essay.docx
This is a proposal for a population health program targeting adolescents aged 12-19 in an underserved African American community. The program aims to address risky sexual behaviors, substance abuse, mental health issues, violence, and obesity through education on safe sex practices, substance abuse counseling, mental health counseling, exercise promotion, and ensuring access to healthcare. The expected outcomes are a reduction in teen pregnancies and STIs, increased enrollment in counseling, and fewer obese adolescents. The program aligns with HP2020 goals and will use social cognitive theory and social media marketing. Potential barriers include lack of stakeholder participation and funding.

Obesity has become a common and problematic epidemic within the United States in which communities are gathering in forces to provide prevention tactics for the individuals as well as family oriented to encourage healthier lifestyle choices. Currently today an estimate of about 39% of the population struggled with obesity and unfortunately about 18.5% of these overweight categories were centered on youth in particular (Kelly, 2019). Being obese adds to increased risk of various kinds of debilitating illnesses and the criteria for obesity has now been clearly defined by the measurement of the body mass index in which health providers can effectively begin aggressive prevention once diagnosed. Heart disease, diabetes, psychological, and lifestyle issues with supposed potential cancers have been researched in the overall illness range that obesity influences (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). Contributing factors that increase the likelihood of overweight tendencies surface from genetic and socioeconomic influences. Those who have family that struggle with weight gain are highly likely to struggle also. Ethnic races have shown Hispanic and African American are the highest rates on obesity, 50% in both, while Caucasian and Asian are the lowest ranging scale of 37% to 12%. (Healthy People 2020, 2019).
Tactics to promote healthy lifestyles within a community are bringing awareness and prevention opportunities for families and individuals who acknowledged the risk factors of certain obesity formation. Individual or family adapted health behavior changes, prompts to encourage walking paths, trails, or public organizations that encourage healthy lifestyle such as the YMCA , enhanced school-based physical education with nutrition promotion and media campaigns that deliver the messages by television, social media, newspaper or radio are strong community strategies that can address the obesity epidemic today.
We as nurses can act as role models by educating the public on nutrition and obesity related problems. A healthy diet is a key component to reducing weight gain and overall health. As a community health nurse, the opportunity to closely work with people in providing education and healthier choices that help people feel they have options for nutrition can be seen as a personal counselor to develop goals and a plan for positive achievement. A form of exercise to complement the healthy diet can be applied by giving support to help individuals identify a safe and effective activity plan that they will stick to with encouragement to use public outlets. The community nurse can promote change by explaining the risk factors that cause obesity and provide more scientific elements of the health issue. By opening communication through means of community boards, social media, and leaflets or presentations in public areas such as YMCA or Health Department interest can be supported by.

1. Assisting the patients to change the lifestyle is one of the primary support needs. According to the participant response, quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy weight are some of the significant challenges. Educating the patient about healthy dietary and the need for vigorous physical exercise will help the patient in maintaining the right body weight. Smoking habits are highly addictive, and quitting becomes challenging and requires significant effort from both the patient and the caregiver.
2. Psychological counseling. The patient has a great concern of wondering if she would leave long to see grandchildren. She also takes medication such as propranolol and diazepam for managing the stress. Counseling will help the patient mitigate the effects of anxiety and possible depression. It will also change the mindset of imminent death as a result of chronic kidney complications. Physical exercise is essential for mental health and manages stress levels.
3. Accurate tests and prescriptions of the medical plan to the patient are essential in chronic disease management. According to the participant, she would like to follow the prescribed medical plan to manage this complication.
4. They are assisting the patient in understanding the various prescribed medical plan. There is a need to educate the patient about how to administer medicines such as insulin.
Objectives Implementation of Healthy People 2020
Healthy people in 2020 policies and laws examined the various opportunities and approaches to achieve their primary goals. Different governments are using different strategies to promote the health wellness of society and public health. These initiatives serve as roadmaps for different countries and their objectives to health promotion (Pykett, 2019). They provide a way for the government and the community in general to understand the current and future health situation for effective planning and policymaking. For effective interventions for healthy nations, the government needs to engage public health stakeholders such as the healthcare providers, practitioners, and the community. This will helps in the identification of effective strategies for interventions and making healthy people 2020 ideas actionable.
Good health begins in our homes, workplaces, schools, and community in general. Social determinants of health directly impact all individuals. The healthy people 2020 determinants are divided into various categories, namely economic stability, education, healthcare, and the neighborhood, built environments as well as the community context (Pykett, 2019).

Childhood obesity is a rising problem worldwide problem. The World Health
Organization (WHO) believes that childhood obesity is one of the “most serious public health
challenges of the 21st century” (Howard, 2019). Obesity in children and adolescents is expected
to exceed the occurrence of those that are underweight and malnourished in the world by the year
2022 (Howard). According to the WHO, the number of obese children in the world increased
from 32 to 41 million over the past 25 years (“GHO”, n.d.). In 2016, the obesity rate in children
under the age of 5 in the United States was 22.7 and 18 percent in children over the age of five
(“GHO”). New Zealand’s rates of childhood obesity are very similar to the United States, with
20.6 percent of children under the age of 5 and 15 percent in the childhood population over 5
years old (“GHO”). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the global health impact of childhood

While this aid allows many to attend college, some students are left with debts they cannot repay if the degrees do not lead to well-paying jobs or the schools provide a subpar education. Critics argue this is an unfair burden on students and taxpayers, and that for-profit schools prioritize profits over student outcomes. Students faced with unusable degrees or inability to repay loans due to the schools' practices deserve recourse from the colleges that arranged their financing.

How the evolution of health care policy has influenced programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.
America health policy shifted from environmental concerns to individual. Over time we have moved from dispensaries, to marine hospitals, to focusing on check ups. "The federal government entered briefly into health provision during Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal with the Resettlement Administration's medical cooperatives" (Popple & Leighninger, 2019). The Depression led way for prepaid programs such as, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, due to hospitals being left with unpaid hospital bills. The government stepped back in when those who were less healthy, retired, unemployed, underemployed or self employed suffered. This is when both the Democratic and Republican parties worked together to put forth proposals that would protect the senior population that was getting left out of the employer based health plans (Popple & Leighninger 2019). Hospitals were reimbursed by Medicare however, continuously rising hospital costs, resulted in the Reagan administration developing a standardized payment based on diagnosis. Medicare became their cash cow because congress was able to take advantage of the cost reduction by transferring savings in Medicare into the general deficit reduction (Popple & Leighninger, 2019).
Specific Medicaid policy in your state that should be amended, and explain how you would amend it and why.
The Medicaid policy in North Carolina that should be amended is the policy that prohibits payment for diet programs in weight loss centers. Helping recipients with their goal towards weight loss could help reduce Medicaid costs. Medicaid paying for weight loss programs could result in lowered expenses towards weight related health issues such as high blood pressure, and diabeties (dhhs.gov, 2018).
The stakeholders involved in the Medicaid and Medicare health care policy in your state, and explain the role of these stakeholders in policy development for this issue.
The stakeholders involved in the Medicaid and Medicare health care policy include ombudsmen, providers, and consumer health advocacy groups. The provide expertise and knowledge to contribute towards identifying solutions to meet the needs the people. They then work together towards developing the policy (Nguyen, & Miller, 2018).

Domestic Violence
The purpose of this analysis is to provide a wide introduction to the problem of injury in
the U.S., and help in the development of an innovative way of thinking about commencing a plan
for injury prevention. Although injuries are a major problem in the United States, they can as easily
be prevented. There are a lot of models that work in prevention of both intentional and
unintentional injuries.
Creation of a warm and welcoming environment is an effective strategy in preventing
incidences of violence at the community level. This strategy aims at addressing problems at a
community level, concentrating on the development of structured and supervised opportunities for
community members and addressing various kinds of violence through multiple types of solutions.
An entire community should be treated like a patient instead of individual-based treatment
strategies. Taking a social environment prevention strategy means that there is focus on prevention
of violence. This illustrates that apart from attaching importance in developing formal laws to
punish violence perpetrators, prevention of violence is a key element. Therefore, approaches
should be aimed at averting the incidence of both violence and injury cases in the first place.
Regulation is also an effective element in preventing unintentional injuries. This involves
passing policies related to serving alcohol, policies for legal driving age, worker safety policies
and concealed weaponry laws. These efforts result in a reduction of incidents on injuries. The
most important concept is that there are numerous ways in which a community and people, at an
individual level, can intervene to prevent injuries and violence in communities. The social
environment is very important and issues of violence should be displayed on mass media to
discourage such behaviors, while also sensitizing people on the same.
Access to Health Care
Access to health care in the United States encompasses a system of service providers that
make a complete system. In this light, the access to health care has been a subject of discussion
since the early 1870s. Importantly, the access to health care has grown over time from home health
care provision to the hospitals in large cities (Gulliford & Morgan, 2013). Notably, the history of

The Determination of Eligibility for Medicaid
Introduction
The social health care program, Medicaid is aimed at providing health care services to the needy and those with disabilities in the United States. The Act should provide the state with the way forward or criteria to be followed in selecting the people who are to benefit from the social health program. However, over time, it has not been clear to every American citizen as to which criteria should be used in determining the needy in the society. In particular, it has been challenging on selecting the eligible citizens for the program with a focus on the level of income and the level of expenditure. For instance, the issue of “spend down” periods has posed a lot of difficulties in determining the eligibility for Medicaid. A way great issue regarding the funding, expansion, and determination of eligibility for Medicaid includes the requirement by the Supreme Court in the United States for regions such as Massachusetts to contribute the six months’ excess income towards medical expenditure before the Medicaid coverage program begins in such regions. This paper seeks to explain the issue of Medicaid coverage and the eligibility of the different level of community members. It also explores the level of government affected by the issue as well as the analysis of the eligibility of Medicaid.
Economic Issue
The social health program (Medicaid) requires adequate funding in order to cover effectively a large and needy population. While it would be more beneficial to expand the program to the other categories of people in the society such as those with disabilities, there should be constant and enough supply of funds both from the government and the good wishers such as donors to help reach out every needy member of the society. Inadequate funding is an issue since there is a large percentage of people who need medical assistance and cannot afford it unless they get subsidized medical health care or fully assisted by programs such as the Medicaid (Ford, Spicer, & Institute of Medicine (U.S.), 2012).
Coupled with the low income of most of the society members, it is clear and evident enough that the majority of the people in the United States value social programs such as Medicaid. However, failure to adequately fund the program has only led to development and implementation of strict procedures and regulations in determining those who are eligible for the program. In particular, the six-month spend down period has resulted in more complex procedures, some of which are neither clear nor understandable to society members. The methodology used has never been friendly to the low-income people; the approach involving spend down for ...
Medicaid's Role for People with Disabilities
This document discusses Medicaid and challenges for people with disabilities. It provides background on Medicaid, its role in covering people with disabilities, proposed changes to Medicaid's structure and coverage, and how Medicaid is evolving long-term care for people with disabilities. Key points include:
- Medicaid covers over 70 million low-income and disabled Americans and is the largest payer of long-term care in the US.
- 31% of non-elderly people with disabilities receive Medicaid coverage.
- Proposed changes in 2017 would have capped federal Medicaid spending, effectively ending the Medicaid expansion.
- Medicaid is shifting long-term care from institutions to home and community-based services to allow people to remain in their

WGU VPT2 Task 2
This document discusses a data analysis task involving childhood obesity rates in different regions of the United States. The analysis will use data on the percentage of overweight and obese children ages 10-17 in each state. The states will be categorized into regions - East, South, Midwest, and West. A cluster analysis technique will be used to determine if there are trends in childhood obesity rates between different regions. If trends are found, government and healthcare organizations can focus obesity prevention programs on specific regions. The document provides background on the situation, data sources, and analysis methodology to be used.
NURS612 Population Health Essay.docx
This is a proposal for a population health program targeting adolescents aged 12-19 in an underserved African American community. The program aims to address risky sexual behaviors, substance abuse, mental health issues, violence, and obesity through education on safe sex practices, substance abuse counseling, mental health counseling, exercise promotion, and ensuring access to healthcare. The expected outcomes are a reduction in teen pregnancies and STIs, increased enrollment in counseling, and fewer obese adolescents. The program aligns with HP2020 goals and will use social cognitive theory and social media marketing. Potential barriers include lack of stakeholder participation and funding.

1)
Obesity has become a common and problematic epidemic within the United States in which communities are gathering in forces to provide prevention tactics for the individuals as well as family oriented to encourage healthier lifestyle choices. Currently today an estimate of about 39% of the population struggled with obesity and unfortunately about 18.5% of these overweight categories were centered on youth in particular (Kelly, 2019). Being obese adds to increased risk of various kinds of debilitating illnesses and the criteria for obesity has now been clearly defined by the measurement of the body mass index in which health providers can effectively begin aggressive prevention once diagnosed. Heart disease, diabetes, psychological, and lifestyle issues with supposed potential cancers have been researched in the overall illness range that obesity influences (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). Contributing factors that increase the likelihood of overweight tendencies surface from genetic and socioeconomic influences. Those who have family that struggle with weight gain are highly likely to struggle also. Ethnic races have shown Hispanic and African American are the highest rates on obesity, 50% in both, while Caucasian and Asian are the lowest ranging scale of 37% to 12%. (Healthy People 2020, 2019).
Tactics to promote healthy lifestyles within a community are bringing awareness and prevention opportunities for families and individuals who acknowledged the risk factors of certain obesity formation. Individual or family adapted health behavior changes, prompts to encourage walking paths, trails, or public organizations that encourage healthy lifestyle such as the YMCA , enhanced school-based physical education with nutrition promotion and media campaigns that deliver the messages by television, social media, newspaper or radio are strong community strategies that can address the obesity epidemic today.
We as nurses can act as role models by educating the public on nutrition and obesity related problems. A healthy diet is a key component to reducing weight gain and overall health. As a community health nurse, the opportunity to closely work with people in providing education and healthier choices that help people feel they have options for nutrition can be seen as a personal counselor to develop goals and a plan for positive achievement. A form of exercise to complement the healthy diet can be applied by giving support to help individuals identify a safe and effective activity plan that they will stick to with encouragement to use public outlets. The community nurse can promote change by explaining the risk factors that cause obesity and provide more scientific elements of the health issue. By opening communication through means of community boards, social media, and leaflets or presentations in public areas such as YMCA or Health Department interest can be supported by.

List of Support Needs for the Participant
1. Assisting the patients to change the lifestyle is one of the primary support needs. According to the participant response, quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy weight are some of the significant challenges. Educating the patient about healthy dietary and the need for vigorous physical exercise will help the patient in maintaining the right body weight. Smoking habits are highly addictive, and quitting becomes challenging and requires significant effort from both the patient and the caregiver.
2. Psychological counseling. The patient has a great concern of wondering if she would leave long to see grandchildren. She also takes medication such as propranolol and diazepam for managing the stress. Counseling will help the patient mitigate the effects of anxiety and possible depression. It will also change the mindset of imminent death as a result of chronic kidney complications. Physical exercise is essential for mental health and manages stress levels.
3. Accurate tests and prescriptions of the medical plan to the patient are essential in chronic disease management. According to the participant, she would like to follow the prescribed medical plan to manage this complication.
4. They are assisting the patient in understanding the various prescribed medical plan. There is a need to educate the patient about how to administer medicines such as insulin.
Objectives Implementation of Healthy People 2020
Healthy people in 2020 policies and laws examined the various opportunities and approaches to achieve their primary goals. Different governments are using different strategies to promote the health wellness of society and public health. These initiatives serve as roadmaps for different countries and their objectives to health promotion (Pykett, 2019). They provide a way for the government and the community in general to understand the current and future health situation for effective planning and policymaking. For effective interventions for healthy nations, the government needs to engage public health stakeholders such as the healthcare providers, practitioners, and the community. This will helps in the identification of effective strategies for interventions and making healthy people 2020 ideas actionable.
Good health begins in our homes, workplaces, schools, and community in general. Social determinants of health directly impact all individuals. The healthy people 2020 determinants are divided into various categories, namely economic stability, education, healthcare, and the neighborhood, built environments as well as the community context (Pykett, 2019). The first step of implementing objectives of Health People 2020 is the identification of the national-wide health improvement priorities ...
Health policy
1. Health policy systems are complex with many interacting influences constantly modifying the system to reach equilibrium. Actors include individuals, groups, and organizations.
2. Within health policy systems, most activities have direct and indirect impacts on other actors through feedback loops.
3. The health policy process is cyclical with no clear beginning or end as the system continuously responds and adapts to feedback.

This is just to show you what we are looking for.
Childhood obesity is a rising problem worldwide problem. The World Health
Organization (WHO) believes that childhood obesity is one of the “most serious public health
challenges of the 21st century” (Howard, 2019). Obesity in children and adolescents is expected
to exceed the occurrence of those that are underweight and malnourished in the world by the year
2022 (Howard). According to the WHO, the number of obese children in the world increased
from 32 to 41 million over the past 25 years (“GHO”, n.d.). In 2016, the obesity rate in children
under the age of 5 in the United States was 22.7 and 18 percent in children over the age of five
(“GHO”). New Zealand’s rates of childhood obesity are very similar to the United States, with
20.6 percent of children under the age of 5 and 15 percent in the childhood population over 5
years old (“GHO”). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the global health impact of childhood
obesity as well as compare the United States with New Zealand on obesities impact, policy
implementation, and plans to improve this rising health dilemma.

With menu labeling regulation in effect and many.docx
- 1. With FDA’s menu labeling regulation in effect and many counties/cities c. The Economics of Nutrition/Obesity:i. Does calorie labeling in menu/menu board impact food consumption decisions/choices among individuals? With FDA’s menu labeling regulation in effect and many counties/cities mandating calorie labeling of menus (even some preceding the FDA regulation) do we now have evidence about the effectiveness of this policy?ii. The rise of childhood obesity over the past two decades has been one of the most challenging public health issue in the US. Although, there is no magic policy bullet that can solve this issue, an active lifestyle (engagement in exercise, sports etc.) has been deemed an effective strategy to reverse this trend. What role, if any, can federal/state government play in encouraging an active lifestyle? Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign is an example of such a program at the Federal level.d. Health Reformi. As of January 2019, 37 states (including DC) have adopted ACA’s Medicaid expansion, with 14 states deciding not to participate in it. This has important implications for the availability of mental health and substance abuse treatment for the behavioral health population. In the context of the current opioid crisis, is it economically rational for states to consider Medicaid expansion? How are states that decided to expand Medicaid faring in terms of providing treatment for opioid use disorder compared to states that have decided not to expand Medicaid? ii. ACA is not a perfect regulation and many have presented arguments/evidence for post-ACA health reform initiatives. One reform initiative that has been implemented in recent years is removing the individual mandate provision of the ACA. What are the implications of removing the individual mandate provision for health insurance coverage among the US population? Does this lead to a more efficient health insurance exchange?e. Social Determinants of Health Without suggesting anything specific, I encourage you to explore this area to come up with a research question. This is obviously a huge subfield in health economics and it covers topics from racial disparities to health literacy to the built environment to bullying and many things in between – all very interesting and can make a great term paper.#FDAs #menu #labeling #regulation #effect #countiescities
