In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.

Book Synopsis Homelessness, Health, and Human Needs by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Homelessness, Health, and Human Needs written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have always been homeless people in the United States, but their plight has only recently stirred widespread public reaction and concern. Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field.
Book Synopsis Mental diseases: a public health problem by : James Vance May
Download or read book Mental diseases: a public health problem written by James Vance May and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a concise elaboration of the origin of various psychoses generally accepted by American psychiatrists with an aim to shed light on the efforts that led up to the developments at that period. The author of this work, James Vance May (1873–1947), was an American psychiatrist and an early proponent for statistical studies and the classification of mental diseases. He was among the first to recognize mental illness as a public health issue, an opinion that did not attain recognition and acceptance for many years. The author has attempted to limit himself to reflect the views of others and has used authentic citations from acknowledged authorities. The conclusions in this work are entirely based on facts rather than on conceptual theories or personal observations alone. The social, financial, and clinical factors of mental diseases must all be given serious consideration according to the author if psychiatry has to satisfy its commitment to the community and take a dignified role in advancing modern medicine.

Book Synopsis Who Will Keep the Public Healthy? by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Who Will Keep the Public Healthy? written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-04-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioterrorism, drug-resistant disease, transmission of disease by global travel . . . there's no shortage of challenges facing America's public health officials. Men and women preparing to enter the field require state-of-the-art training to meet these increasing threats to the public health. But are the programs they rely on provide the high caliber professional training they require? Who Will Keep the Public Healthy? provides an overview of the past, present, and future of public health education, assessing its readiness to provide the training and education needed to prepare men and women to face 21st century challenges. Advocating an ecological approach to public health, the Institute of Medicine examines the role of public health schools and degree-granting programs, medical schools, nursing schools, and government agencies, as well as other institutions that foster public health education and leadership. Specific recommendations address the content of public health education, qualifications for faculty, availability of supervised practice, opportunities for cross-disciplinary research and education, cooperation with government agencies, and government funding for education. Eight areas of critical importance to public health education in the 21st century are examined in depth: informatics, genomics, communication, cultural competence, community-based participatory research, global health, policy and law, and public health ethics. The book also includes a discussion of the policy implications of its ecological framework.

Book Synopsis Adjusting Mental Hygiene: Mental Health, Social Policy, and the Problem of Difference in "Mental Hygiene," 1917--1950 by : Rosie Lee Banks
Download or read book Adjusting Mental Hygiene: Mental Health, Social Policy, and the Problem of Difference in "Mental Hygiene," 1917--1950 written by Rosie Lee Banks and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, I examine the mental hygiene movement, whose journal, Mental Hygiene, was a scene for assessing modernist notions of healthy citizenship and social normativity between 1917–1950. The movement understood itself to be concerned primarily with individual mental health and generally healthy citizenship, but as its project broadened, I argue that the reality of cultural, racial, and class difference complicated the movement's broader public education project by calling into question what values and what realities could be identified as shared. Further, I show how this complication significantly revised the image of mental health, as mental hygiene became less about individual values, practices, and orientations toward life and more about fostering dynamic relations among diverse values and structural antagonisms within the nation. Historians of Progressivism and of the social sciences have shown that the mental hygiene movement, like other Progressive movements, contributed to what they call the “medicalization” of American culture. Not covered in previous stories of this movement's contribution to American culture was the impact of the problem of difference or social hierarchy in the movement's work to realize its broader aims. Mental Hygiene, I argue, tracks much of this drama of mental hygienists' realization of the challenge of the problem of difference to their broader aims. Along with surveys and other forms of research within the journal used to document and analyze the variety of lived experiences that their message had to address if it were to remain relevant, mental hygienists relied more and more on the collection and review of life histories - as clinical case histories, as popular memoirs of mental illness and recovery, and as composite sketches of cultural/racial life histories. Reading Mental Hygiene as the instantiated life history of the mental hygiene movement between 1917 and 1950, I show how these published materials tell the story of the conceptual maturation of mental hygiene from its Progressivist/liberal origins to a more comprehensive, more dynamic mental hygiene that is better, though still imperfectly, suited to the reality of a very diverse United States.

Book Synopsis Health and Incarceration by : National Research Council
Download or read book Health and Incarceration written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past four decades, the rate of incarceration in the United States has skyrocketed to unprecedented heights, both historically and in comparison to that of other developed nations. At far higher rates than the general population, those in or entering U.S. jails and prisons are prone to many health problems. This is a problem not just for them, but also for the communities from which they come and to which, in nearly all cases, they will return. Health and Incarceration is the summary of a workshop jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences(NAS) Committee on Law and Justice and the Institute of Medicine(IOM) Board on Health and Select Populations in December 2012. Academics, practitioners, state officials, and nongovernmental organization representatives from the fields of healthcare, prisoner advocacy, and corrections reviewed what is known about these health issues and what appear to be the best opportunities to improve healthcare for those who are now or will be incarcerated. The workshop was designed as a roundtable with brief presentations from 16 experts and time for group discussion. Health and Incarceration reviews what is known about the health of incarcerated individuals, the healthcare they receive, and effects of incarceration on public health. This report identifies opportunities to improve healthcare for these populations and provides a platform for visions of how the world of incarceration health can be a better place.
