NOTE: This satellite program listing IS NOT an all-inclusive listing of all known satellite programming. It is a representative listing of free, interagency satellite programming whose delivery is coordinated by our offices for primarily Federal and Military downlink sites that use digital compressed video (CDV) satellite downlinks within the Military/Federal Government Education and Training (GETN) satellite networks. GETN Networks are closed, private, encrypted satellite networks. Some programs may also be available to non-military or non- federal civilian sites via analog C/Ku satellite downlinks that are found at many civilian locations and some military/federal sites. Please carefully note the available delivery modalities in the "Platform" column before registering for any particular program to ensure your site has the necessary equipment to receive the program. This listing is provided merely as a public service to the military/ federal communities at large. All program dates and times are subject to change without notice at the discretion of the broadcast sponsor. (POC is Ed Kronholm; Toll Free 877-820-0305 or email; edkronholm@aol.com. )

“Moving Addiction Therapy into the 21st Century: Practical Management Options” (Repeat) A

GETN-CDV Warrior; NO C/KU; Limited VTC; WEBCAST NO TAPES! |
According to a study published by the National Center on Addiction and
Substance Abuse at Columbia University, less than 20% of physicians
consider themselves “very prepared” to diagnose alcohol dependence.
In sharp contrast, a large proportion of these same physicians feel “very
prepared” to identify hypertension (83%), diabetes (82%), and depression
(44.1%). When asked about treatment, researchers found that most
physicians feel treatment is “very effective” for hypertension (85.7%),
diabetes (69%), and depression (42.5%), but only a few feel treatment is
“very effective” for alcoholism (3.6%).(2) Expanded program description at: Addiction Therapy-Practical Options 01 Oct 07 |

workplaces, healthcare facilities, institutions, and
transportation/recreational facilities. This approach seeks to address the
potential human health impacts of physical space and environmental
exposure. Healthy communities are places where public health
systems, social infrastructure and policies support health and essential
public health services (including quality health care) that are readily

Stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability, is the

reducing the overall burden of stroke. Implementation of effective
prevention strategies and the corresponding reduction in risk factors can

Primary prevention is particularly important because greater than 70% of
strokes are first events. |

“Short-Term Birth Interval: Counseling Family Planning Patients” (New) A
DOD-MIST Program For Military/Federal CE Credits |
GETN-CDV Warrior; NO C/KU; Limited VTC; WEBCAST NO TAPES! |
Many
studies show that infants born at a healthy interval are more likely to
survive, less likely to be premature or low birth weight, and less likely
to be malnourished. Longer birth intervals are not only healthier
for mothers and their children but it enables parents to devote more time
to each child in the early years, gives parents more time for activities
other than child rearing and often eases pressure on family finances.
Couples and individuals need to make their decisions on birth spacing
based on accurate information and with a range of contraceptive options.
Healthcare providers and family planning programs have a responsibility to
help them. Although not always addressed specifically, promoting
birth spacing has long been a central goal of family planning programs.
