This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity has come to the forefront of the American public health agenda. The increased attention has led to a growing interest in quantifying obesity prevalence and determining how the prevalence has changed over time. Estimates of obesity prevalence and trends are fundamental to understanding and describing the scope of issue. Policy makers, program planners, and other stakeholders at the national, state, and local levels are among those who search for estimates relevant to their population(s) of interest to inform their decision-making. The differences in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data have given rise to a body of evidence that is inconsistent and has created barriers to interpreting and applying published reports. As such, there is a need to provide guidance to those who seek to better understand and use estimates of obesity prevalence and trends. Assessing Prevalence and Trends in Obesity examines the approaches to data collection, analysis, and interpretation that have been used in recent reports on obesity prevalence and trends at the national, state, and local level, particularly among U.S. children, adolescents, and young adults. This report offers a framework for assessing studies on trends in obesity, principally among children and young adults, for policy making and program planning purposes, and recommends ways decision makers and others can move forward in assessing and interpreting reports on obesity trends.

Book excerpt: Pacific Islanders in the United States represent a distinct and rapidly growing population with ancestral ties to the indigenous people living in the Pacific Basin. Traditionally Pacific Islanders have been aggregated with Asians to form the broad Asian and Pacific Islander (API) category. Because of their relatively small numeric size, the social, economic and health status of Pacific Islanders is under-represented in national surveys. When they are combined within the broader 'Asian or Pacific Islander,' the health and SES of the larger established Asian populations tend to mask the patterns for Pacific Islanders. To overcome these data limitations the specific aims of the pilot study are: Aim 1: To investigate the health, well-being and healthcare utilization of Samoans and Tongans living in California. Select measures derived from the National Health Interview Survey, California Health Interview Survey, and National Survey on American Lives to develop: (a) survey module to assess health condition and health behavior; (b) survey module to assess disability and sexual health; (c) survey module to assess women's and men's health; (d) survey module to assess mental health; (e) survey module to assess health insurance; (f) survey module to assess healthcare utilization and access, domestic violence; (g) survey module to assess psychosocial factors; (h) a qualitative module to elicit key components of core health beliefs and health seeking behaviors and strategies among Samoan and Tongan immigrants and nationals. Aim 2: To describe the prevalence of health conditions for each racial and ethnic subgroup. Aim 3: To assess survey completion rates and interviewing experiences among Samoans and Tongans. A sample of 600 households, evenly divided between Samoans and Tongans is derived from select census tracks in the Los Angeles County, and San Francisco County in California. Community partnership with the NHPI Alliance, Samoan National Nurses Association and Taulama for Tongans will identify Samoan and Tongan churches in the project areas to recruit households for the survey. They will also help facilitate the recruitment of Pacific Island interviewers within the community. The survey instrument will comprise of select questions from the California Health Interview Survey, National Health Interview Survey and National Survey on American Lives. Descriptive statistics of the survey will be summarized in the form of a report for the APIAHF. Project partners will develop and implement a dissemination plan of the final results. The project findings will be used to leverage additional resources for a more comprehensive study of the Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of eliminating disparities in health care in the United States remains elusive. Even as quality improves on specific measures, disparities often persist. Addressing these disparities must begin with the fundamental step of bringing the nature of the disparities and the groups at risk for those disparities to light by collecting health care quality information stratified by race, ethnicity and language data. Then attention can be focused on where interventions might be best applied, and on planning and evaluating those efforts to inform the development of policy and the application of resources. A lack of standardization of categories for race, ethnicity, and language data has been suggested as one obstacle to achieving more widespread collection and utilization of these data. Race, Ethnicity, and Language Data identifies current models for collecting and coding race, ethnicity, and language data; reviews challenges involved in obtaining these data, and makes recommendations for a nationally standardized approach for use in health care quality improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book "Mental Illnesses - Understanding, Prediction and Control" attention is devoted to the many background factors that are present in understanding public attitudes, immigration, stigma, and competencies surrounding mental illness. Various etiological and pathogenic factors, starting with adhesion molecules at one level and ending with abuse and maltreatment in childhood and youth at another level that are related to mental illness, include personality disorders that sit between mental health and illness. If we really understand the nature of mental illness then we should be able to not only predict but perhaps even to control it irrespective of the type of mental illness in question but also the degree of severity of the illness in order to allow us to predict their long-term outcome and begin to reduce its influence and costs to society. How can we integrate theory, research evidence, and specific ways to deal with mental illness? An attempt will be made in the last conclusive chapter of this volume.
