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 |

“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.

Scientists predict that the

of flu—that would have a dramatic impact on our nation’s communities,
schools, and families. History tells us that flu pandemics are a reality:
in the past century alone, three of them caused widespread loss of life
and the wholesale disruption of societies small and large. A flu outbreak
today similar to the one that occurred in 1918 could potentially kill
millions and profoundly affect institutions such as our nation’s school
systems, which are teeming with children who are expected to have high
rates of infection and are more likely than adults to spread the illness.

- Recurrent
stroke continues to be an important public health concern—almost a third
of the estimated 700,000 strokes that occur each year in the United States
are secondary strokes. Substantial evidence indicates that recurrent
ischemic stroke can be prevented. An effective prevention strategy
involves management of all modifiable risk factors and requires lifestyle,
medical and, possibly, surgical intervention.
Program #2 “Ischemic Stroke:
Risk Factors & Prevention”
1200-1300 -
Prevention remains the best approach for reducing the overall burden of
stroke. Implementation of effective prevention strategies and the
corresponding reduction in risk factors can have a significant impact on
reducing the incidence of stroke. It is estimated that up to one
half of all strokes could be prevented through stroke risk factor
detection and management. |

The
food industry, including livestock, is one of the most open industries in
North America, and is readily susceptible to outbreaks of Foreign Animal
Disease (FAD). FAD could be introduced accidentally - as happened in
the UK - or it could be introduced intentionally. History has
illustrated that during an FAD, there is massive and widespread
depopulation of millions of animals and a major disruption to most related
livestock industries. There also are significant ill effects on
domestic and export markets for meat and milk, and the potential for a
downward spiral for the national economy. |

Weight gain is an important contributing factor to
metabolic syndrome, as it is a key component in the development of
diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. In patients with
psychiatric disorders, mortality linked to metabolic syndrome is
compounded by behaviors such as heavy smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and
poor eating habits. Weight gain can affect medication adherence and
data continues to emerge on the link between diabetes and cognitive
dysfunction, all of which can negatively impact patient outcomes.
Treatment with antipsychotic agents may also play a role in weight gain.
This problem highlights several important needs: careful screening to
recognize factors that may contribute to metabolic syndrome, appropriate
selection of an antipsychotic agent, systematic monitoring, and effective
management. Expanded description at: Antipsychotic-Induced Weight Gain 05 Dec 07 |

Public
health officials and members of the business community are discovering the
mutual benefits of partnering to get Pills into People. Bound
together by a common goal—protecting the health and safety of the citizens
of the community—public health and business are finding new strategies to
solve some of the problems inherent in a mass antibiotic dispensing
campaign. Both sides of this multidisciplinary partnership have
something unique to offer and also to gain in this relationship. For
example, when local businesses are willing to dispense antibiotics to
employees and their families, the number of people who will report to
community Points of Dispensing (PODs) can be significantly reduced.
This relieves some of the burden on the PODs and offers businesses the
opportunity to protect their employees and maintain continuity of
operations. This broadcast will focus on the development of these
public-private partnerships. Panelists will discuss methods for
locating and reaching-out to businesses and identify significant
challenges, possible solutions, and opportunities involved in this type of
community outreach. In addition, business leaders and public health
professionals will share their experiences in forming these partnerships.

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.

“Taking a Sexual History” (Repeat)
A DOD-MIST
Program For Military/Federal CE Credits |
GETN-CDV Warrior; NO C/KU; Limited VTC; WEBCAST NO TAPES! |
A
sexual history is important for all patients because it provides
information identifying high-risk behaviors leading to an unintended
pregnancy and/or a sexually transmitted infection, including HIV.
Taking a thorough sexual history can also be a gateway for direct
essential risk reduction counseling. Many patients, and sometimes
the clinicians, are embarrassed or feel uncomfortable talking about sexual
issues. It is important for the provider to be competent and
professionally skilled in talking with the patient(s) in a non-threatening
manner, to find out what problems exist, and uncover the appropriate
background information and clinical history. With the right
consultation tools, a sexual history can be performed efficiently when
time is a critical factor in the clinic setting. |

Caring for a loved one with dementia poses many challenges for families

person with dementia—but we can learn. Improving your communication
skills will help make care-giving less stressful and will likely improve
the quality of your relationship with your loved one. Good
communication skills will also enhance your ability to handle the
difficult behavior you may encounter as you care for a person with a
dementing illness. |

Hurricanes,

create emergencies for the public health system. Regardless of the
type of event, when such emergencies occur, communities and individuals
face real difficulties related to the need to obtain and properly use
pharmaceutical products or the need to maintain appropriate pharmaceutical
therapies. Pharmacists serve the fundamental role in our
ability, as a society, to initiate a pharmaceutical emergency response
where needed, and to maintain appropriate pharmaceutical care for a
damaged community. |

In
1988, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initiated the Youth
Risk Behavior Survey in order to process and identify the leading causes
of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among our youth. These
behaviors were identified and categorized into six risk areas: 1)
behaviors that result in unintentional and intentional injuries; 2)
tobacco use; 3) alcohol and drug abuse; 4) sexual behaviors that result in
HIV infection, other sexually transmitted diseases, and unintended
pregnancies; 5) physical inactivity; and 6) dietary behaviors. The
collected data is assembled by surveying Alabama 15–19 year olds every
other year. The trends that are recorded are compared to the National
Average and studied by educators and health professionals to determine the
prevalence of health-risk behaviors. |
