Abstract:

Oral cancers (OC) represent the majority of head and neck cancers with more than half million patients being affected each year worldwide. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth commonest cancer worldwide, accounting for approximately 4% of all cancers. Therefore, an improvement in the prevention and control of oral cancer is of critical importance. This may be achieved by reducing the risk through avoidance of tobacco and alcohol, recognizing and treating premalignant lesions and detecting developed OC at an early stage. Data search for the present review was done electronically. Electronic search was conducted using databases such as Pubmed and Medline, Cochrane library, articles published in peer-reviewed journals, text books, grey literature and from sites of World Health Organization, Centre For Diseases Control Report, Global Adult Tobacco Survey and Global Youth Tobacco Survey reports. This review ruled out web of causation and web of prevention including early detection and prevention to be an ideal strategy to reduce the prevalence of oral cancer and its impact on quality of life. Screening and early detection in population at risk have been proposed to decrease both morbidity and mortality associated with the oral cancer.

Abstract:

Background/Aim. Innovative marketing campaigns and promotional activities can successfully contribute to the improvement of public health by raising the level of general knowledge about health issues and benefits that the change of habits, eradication of undesirable behaviour and regular medical controls have. The focus should be on continuous marketing communication through various mass media or direct communication between medical staff and patients. The aim of this paper was to define the role that various communication channels have in the process of informing and educating the target group in case of breast and cervical cancer prevention. Methods. The survey based on polling a sample of 2,100 female patients of the Serbian Railways Medical Centre was conducted in the period October-December 2013. The questionnaire included questions about demographic characteristics, prevention habits of women, their level of information on that topic and communication channels they prefer. Results. There is a difference among respondents? awareness level about preventive measures depending on demographic and geographical criteria. The results indicate the existence of variations in frequency of performing gynaecological examinations and Pap tests depending on different age, educational and residential groups. Although the largest percentage of women stated familiarity with the way of performing breast self-examination (78%), the majority of them had never per-formed mammography or ultrasonography (67%). The greatest number of women were informed about the possibility of preventing breast and cervical cancer by posters or brochures in health institutions (71%) and mass media - television on the first place (74%), then specialized magazines about health (48%), radio (48%), web sites about health (42%), and daily newspapers (34%). The respondents consider the Ministry of Health and health institutions as the most responsible subjects for education of women about cancer prevention, while the self-initiative was given the least importance. Conclusion. Determined informing habits of the target group, their prevention habits and attitudes on the subject should be used as the basis for planning and implementation of prevention marketing campaigns that would be the most effective.

Abstract:

Background: Cervical cancer, despite being a preventable disease, its screening and vaccination still remains poor in our country. The aim of our study was to assess the knowledge and awareness regarding cervical cancer, its risk factors, screening and HPV vaccination.Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out among outpatients attending gynaecology OPD in GEM hospital and Research Centre, a tertiary care centre in Tamil Nadu during the period of April 2019 to June 2019. A total of 500 women, aged 16 years and above were analyzed using a structured questionnaire with multiple choices regarding socio demographic profile, knowledge and awareness about the cervical cancer, its risk factors, screening method and HPV vaccination.Results: Only 16.6% knew that cervical cancer is the most common cancer in Indian women. Majority (74.6%) of them were married, of which 36.2% were aware of Pap smear. Of those who were aware, only one third (12.6%) had their Pap smear done. The awareness of HPV vaccination was only 25% and 3.4% of them were vaccinated. 70.2% of the study participants were willing to be vaccinated after knowing about the vaccination.Conclusions: This study serves to highlight that, the majority of women lack knowledge and awareness concerning cervical cancer and its preventive aspects. This is a major hindrance among Indian women to undergo early screening and timely prevention. Hence creating public awareness of cervical cancer and its prevention is still a priority.

Abstract:

Background: In the last couple of decades, cancer incidence has been raising heavily, probably due to our changing lifestyle, habits, and increased life expectancy. The situation is so alarming that every fourth person is having a lifetime risk of cancer.Methods: The study was conducted as a retrospective study among the various cancer patients admitted in our tertiary care centre for a period of 10 years from 2011 to 2020. The data and the case sheets from the hospital records were obtained from the MRD department. The case sheets were reviewed by the investigators on the variables viz age, gender, diagnosis, cancer site, investigations and treatment aspects. The data were entered in the MS excel sheet and analyzed using Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 21. The data were expressed in terms of frequencies and percentages.Results: Total cases reported were 121 of which in the year 2014 and 2015, the cancer cases reported were 32% and 26% respectively. Then again there was a peak in 2018 and 2019 with 8% and 31% with one case each in the year 2017 and 2020. High prevalence is seen with Breast cancer, which showed 60% followed by carcinoma stomach which is 18% and carcinoma rectum which is 9%. The cancers showed low prevalence, which is 1% include carcinoma prostate, carcinoma larynx, gastro intestinal stromal tumor and retro peritoneal lipo sarcoma.Conclusions: Our study revealed that the cancer cases are high and it showed increasing trend which suggests that the population based cancer registries to be made at all levels of health care to identify the time trends so that prevention measures can be implemented at the community level.

Abstract:

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the 4th most prevalent cancer in women worldwide. Mortalities and morbidities are still increasing despite its preventability. The knowledge, attitude and behaviour of women in fighting cervical cancer are very important. Objective: This study aims to record knowledge, attitude, and behaviour of women in reproductive age regarding cervical cancer at Makasar District Primary Health Care Centre, East Jakarta in 2018 Material and Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Knowledge, attitude, and behaviour of cervical cancer were obtained using an assisted interview and recorded. The receipt of services towards cervical cancer prevention is referred to be favourable and unfavourable Results: Of the total 105 samples, the mean age was 30 years and mostly graduated from Junior High School (66.7%). More than half (59%) participants had poor knowledge about cervical cancer, but 89% of the participants had favourable attitude in receipt of services towards cervical cancer prevention. Despite the poor knowledge, 21.9% of the participants had been screened before. Conclusion: The knowledge and behaviour towards cervical cancer among women in Makasar Primary Health Care Centre are still inadequate but have favourable attitude.

Abstract:

Abstract 29 There is an estimated burden of over 1 million individuals who were diagnosed with cancer in India in 2012. The three most commonly occurring cancers in India are breast, uterine cervix and oral cancers, together accounting for one third of India’s cancer burden. All three are usually detectable at early stages, and malignancies of the oral cavity and cervix have precancerous stages that are amenable to secondary prevention. Therefore, screening and early detection of these three cancers will help to markedly reduce the cancer burden in India. The technology used in this project is the ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) model of the University of New Mexico. ECHO clinics are supported by basic, widely available teleconferencing technology. It links expert specialist teams at an academic ‘hub’ with primary care clinicians in local communities – the ‘spokes’ of the model. This pilot project is being conducted at the primary health centre (PHC) Gumballi, a tribal village in Karnataka. We are incorporating cancer screening program in the existing infrastructure and manpower in-country, using the ECHO model. The Institute of Cytology and Preventive Oncology (ICPO) helps in empowering the community health workers (CHWs) at the PHC to conduct cancer screening of the population covered by the PHC. We have used two modes of training health care providers: Initial face-to-face training on cancer screening tests, allowing for hands-on training and practice of skills. ICPO staff visited Gumballi and provided 4 days of intensive training to the community health workers in screening of oral, breast and cervical cancer. Subsequently, fortnightly, ECHO clinics are being conducted to include reiteration of the training, discussing patient cases, resource sharing and expert presentations. To date, the CHWs have screened 11,342 individuals for oral, breast and cervical cancer, out of the 16,042 eligible population. The screen positives and suspicious cases are being evaluated and treated by a team of specialists from the Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology, Bangalore, which is a tertiary care centre for cancer treatment in that region. This pilot study proves that the cancer screening is feasible at the primary health network with the existing resources which can be replicated to the larger masses and subsequently to the whole country.

Abstract:

Background: African Cancer Organization (ACO) seeks to establish a Cancer Information Service (CIS) Centre in Accra, Ghana to offer information about cancer prevention to the general public and businesses. The whole idea is to promote awareness of cancer and early detection through culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate cancer information and education programs. The project will navigate people to appropriate facilities for screening, further diagnosis, management and support. This we believe will help prevent people from getting exposed to avoidable cancer risk factors and also help downstage cancers by early-detecting the disease at stages where cure is often possible, which will ultimately help avert the currently prevailing high incidence of cancers in Ghana. Aim: The goal of the project is to ensure that everyone living in Ghana who is eligible has access easy to free cancer information service. The project will establish the needed infrastructure and also build capacity of personnel required to provide cancer information service to the general public and businesses. Methodology: Trained cancer information specialists will provide a one-on-one interaction by telephone, e-mail, instant messaging, social media, in-person visit or on-site business visit. The service will be free and confidential. The project involves setting up an office, distribution of information, education and communication (IEC) materials to educate businesses and the general public about cancer, its prevention, risk factors associated with the disease, sign and symptoms of cancer, cancer diagnosis, treated, management and support systems available. ACO CIS, tailored to the socioeconomic and cultural context, is to ensure that cancer information is available to everyone who is eligible. Conclusion: There is solid evidence that making cancer information available and diagnosing it at an early stage will reduce deaths from cancer, and the success of interventions intended to detect cancer at an early stage greatly depends on cancer education and awareness and sensitivity to the needs, beliefs and unique circumstance of the target population. Although much remains to be learned about cancer, enough is now known about the causes of cancer and means of control for suitable intervention to have a significant impact. Most Africans cannot currently access curative therapies, state-of-the-art surgery or expensive cancer drugs that are the mainstay of cancer care in developed nations. At the same time between 30% and 50% of cancers are preventable, and a third of all cancers could be cured if detected early. Therefore, scaling up prevention and early diagnosis will be the most cost-effective ways of dealing with cancer. ACO is by this looking for partners with similar mandate to collaborate to establish and sustain the CIS.

Abstract:

Cancer is a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality in today’s world. Several studies have shown that its incidence is governed by the gender and age of a person. The site and histological subtype of cancer vary between different age groups and sex. Knowledge of the demography of cancer in affected individuals will help in planning screening and prevention strategies. The present study was done to analyse the site of different cancers among various age groups and gender in patients coming to a tertiary care centre. Data of cancer patients was retrospectively analysed in terms of age, sex, site, and histopathological subtypes. The histopathological reports of all cases of cancer recorded at the histopathology laboratory of the tertiary care centre during a one year period- November 2017 to October 2018 were perused and the findings were recorded. Analysis of the data was done using SPSS version 17 to obtain the statistical significance. There were a total of 330 cases of cancer recorded during the study period. Out of these, 143 were male and 187 were female. Age group between 51 and 60 years had the maximum number of cases of cancer. Breast cancer in female and stomach cancer and oropharyngeal cancer in male were found to be more common. Among the histological subtypes, adenocarcinoma was found to be the most commonest across all ages and in both sexes.

Abstract:

Abstract Several studies have highlighted the need for the provision of extra support for parenting and for the children of families with parental cancer, with particular emphasis on the need to protect the psychosocial wellbeing of these children. However despite this, child-centred work still rarely forms part of clinical practice in adult health-care settings. The aims of the present work were: 1) to calculate a population-based estimate for the number of Finnish children affected by parental cancer, 2) to investigate whether these children had used specialised psychiatric services to a greater extent than their peers, 3) to conduct a systematic review of the scientific literature regarding the current state of structured interventions directly targeted at children with parental cancer, 4) to outline the clinicians' experiences of the use of structured child centred interventions in long-term clinical practice, and 5) to assess whether the “Let’s Talk about Children” (LT) and “Family Talk Intervention” (FTI) approaches have any impact on the psychiatric symptom profile of seriously somatically ill parents and their spouses. It was found that every 15th child (6.6% of the children) had a mother or father who was treated for cancer during the years 1987 to 2008. Cases of parental cancer increased these children’s use of specialised psychiatric services significantly by comparison with their peers. A systematic review revealed that the existing number of structured child-centred interventions was small and their methodological content was highly heterogeneous. Clinicians’ long-term experiences of the use of structured child-centred interventions in everyday clinical practice highlighted: the flexible choice of interventions, the importance of taking the children’s needs into account, inter–team collaboration and the need to regard death as an essential topic when working with families with parental cancer. A significant improvement in the parent’s psychological symptoms was observed four months after the completion of the structured intervention. It can be concluded that children affected by parental cancer comprise a substantial part of the general population. Both the increased use of specialised psychiatric services by the children and the positive effect of interventions on the parents justify the pursuance of research-based child-centred work
Tiivistelmä Useat viimeaikaiset tutkimukset ovat suosittaneet lisätukea vanhemmuudelle ja lapsille syöpäpotilaiden lasten psykososiaalisen hyvinvoinnin turvaamiseksi. Tästä huolimatta lapsikeskeistä työtä tehdään aikuisterveydenhuollossa vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli: 1) arvioida väestötasolla niiden suomalaisten lasten lukumäärä, joilla on syöpää sairastava vanhempi, ja verrata näiden lasten psykiatrisen erikoissairaanhoidon käyttöä muihin vastaavan ikäisiin, 2) selvittää systemaattisesti olemassa oleva tutkimustieto lapsikeskeisten strukturoitujen interventioiden käytöstä syöpää sairastavien vanhempien lapsilla, 3) tutkia työntekijöiden pitkäaikaisia kokemuksia strukturoitujen lapsikeskeisten interventioiden käytöstä osana jokapäiväistä kliinistä työtä, 4) selvittää kahden strukturoidun intervention, Lapset puheeksi -keskustelun ja Beardsleen perheintervention, vaikutusta vanhempien psykiatrisiin oireisiin neljä kuukautta intervention jälkeen verrattuna tilanteeseen ennen interventiota. Tulosten mukaan Suomessa 6,6 %:lla vuonna 1987 syntyneistä lapsista oli vanhempi, jota oli hoidettu syövän takia seurantajakson 1987–2008 aikana. Syöpää sairastavien vanhempien lasten psykiatrisen erikoissairaanhoidon käyttö oli tilastollisesti merkitsevästi kohonnut verrattuna muihin samanikäisiin. Lasten tukemiseen tarkoitettujen strukturoitujen interventioiden määrä oli vähäinen ja niiden tutkimuksellinen taso oli vaihteleva. Työntekijöiden kokemukset lapsikeskeisten interventioiden toteuttamisesta potilastyössä nostivat esille useita huomioonotettavia asioita: on tärkeää voida valita interventio joustavasti perheen tarpeiden mukaan, yli sektorirajojen ulottuva yhteistyö on keskeistä, lasten yksilöllisten tarpeiden huomioiminen on tärkeää, kuoleman teema nousee usein esille perheiden kanssa työskenneltäessä. Vanhempien psyykkisten oireiden todettiin vähentyneen intervention jälkeen tehdyssä mittauksessa verrattuna ennen interventiota tehtyyn mittaukseen. Tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella voidaan päätellä, että syöpäpotilaiden lapset muodostavat merkittävän ryhmän väestössä. Syöpäpotilaiden lasten lisääntynyt psykiatrisen erikoissairaanhoidon käyttö jo yksin ja myös interventioiden myönteiset vaikutukset puoltavat lapsikeskeisen työn kehittämistä aikuisterveydenhuoltoon. Kehittämistyön pohjana voidaan käyttää tässä tutkimuksessa käytettyjä strukturoituja lapsikeskeisiä interventioita

O mundo do trabalho evolui a um ritmo frenético, resultando, nas últimas décadas, em transformações organizacionais importantes, que estão na origem da intensificação e da precarização do trabalho. Desde meados da década de 2000, estes riscos são reunidos sob o termo de “Riscos Psicossociais” ou RPS. Foi efectuada uma revisão da literatura sobre a contextualização e definição deste fenómeno, importância da existência de uma grelha de avaliação identificando as causas e efeitos dos riscos e, finalmente, uma lista de orientações para a construção de uma ferramenta de avaliação dos Riscos Psicossociais. O projecto elaborado no âmbito do estágio efectuado no Centro de Luta Contra o Cancro de Nice e enquadrado na metodologia de Avaliação das Práticas Profissionais foi aplicada esta grelha através dos métodos exploratório, qualitativo, abdutivo e de 150 entrevistas a colaboradores. A construção e seguidamente a aplicação desta grelha pretenderam identificar, avaliar, medir, discutir e cartografar os Riscos Psicossociais.

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
A study design has been developed that employs a dual modeling approach to identify factors associated with facility-level cancer screening improvement and how this is mediated by the use of clinical decision support. This dual modeling approach combines principles of (1) Health Informatics, (2) Cancer Prevention and Control, (3) Health Services Research, and (4) Organizational Change/Theory. The study design builds upon the constructs of a conceptual framework developed by Jane Zapka, namely, (1) organizational and/or practice settings, (2) provider characteristics, and (3) patient population characteristics. These constructs have been operationalized as measures in a 2005 HRSA/NCI Health Disparities Cancer Collaborative inventory of 44 community health centers. The first, statistical models will use: sequential, multivariable regression models to test for the organizational determinants that may account for the presence and intensity-of-use of clinical decision support (CDS) and information systems (IS) within community health centers for use in colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer screening. A subsequent test will assess the impact of CDS/IS on provider reported cancer screening improvement rates. The second, computational models will use a multi-agent model of network evolution called CONSTRUCT® to identify the agents, tasks, knowledge, groups, and beliefs associated with cancer screening practices and CDS/IS use to inform both CDS/IS implementation and cancer screening intervention strategies. This virtual experiment will facilitate hypothesis-generation through computer simulation exercises. The outcome of this research will be to identify barriers and facilitators to improving community health center facility-level cancer screening performance using CDS/IS as an agent of change. Stakeholders for this work include both national and local community health center IT leadership, as well as clinical managers deploying IT strategies to improve cancer screening among vulnerable patient populations.

Abstract:

AbstractDiabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, and cancer are two of the most common diseases plaguing the world today. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are currently more than 20 million people with diabetes in the United States [1]. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), there were around 18 million people diagnosed with cancer, with approximately ten million deaths globally in 2018 [2]. Given the prevalence and deadliness of diabetes and cancer, these two diseases have long been the focus of many researchers with the goal of improving treatment outcomes. While diabetes and cancer may seem to be two very different diseases at first glance, they share several similarities, especially regarding their metabolic characteristics. This chapter discusses the similarities and relationships between the metabolism of diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cancer, including their abnormal glucose and amino acid metabolism, the contribution of hyperglycemia to oncogenic mutation, and the contribution of hyperinsulinemia to cancer progression. Investigating the metabolic interplay between diabetes and cancer in an effort to exploit this connection for cancer treatment has the potential to significantly improve clinical efficacy.

Abstract:

Abstract: The European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA) is the only European multidisciplinary society dedicated to breast cancer. EUSOMA has defined the requirements for a Breast Centre. Basic requirements are: at least 150 new breast cancer cases per year, provision of all services necessary from genetics and prevention, through diagnosis and treatment of primary tumour, follow-up, care of advanced disease, and palliation. The Breast Centre must have a dedicated team of specialists who regularly meet in the multidisciplinary meeting. EUSOMA also defined a set of Quality Indicators (QIs) to allow standardized auditing and quality assurance. EUSOMA developed a voluntary certification process to evaluate Breast Centre compliance with EUSOMA requirements and QIs. This process has now become an accredited scheme run by a dedicated organization (www.breastcentrescertification.com). The Breast Centre certification scheme is focused on real data, essential clinical skills, structure, and procedure, aiming at improving the quality of care. Breast Centres undergoing certification send data to the EUSOMA data warehouse. The EUSOMA data centre performs an analysis and issues a report showing the performances of the selected EUSOMA QIs. Thanks to the availability of these data, Certified Breast Centres under the umbrella of EUSOMA collectively publish scientific papers on selected topics.

Abstract:

No disease strikes more fear than cancer and none is more resistant to medical progress. This chapter illuminates the weaknesses of a health care system driven by profit rather than human need in addressing cancer. It explains how modern capitalism has undermined progress in cancer prevention and treatment. Reducing tobacco smoking has succeeded in reducing cancer, but pharmaceutical and other industries have not emphasized this approach because it is not profitable. Instead, they develop precision medicines, high intensity radiation, and private equity-financed high-tech oncology centers. While these have helped some patients, they have made cancer care exorbitantly expensive, out of reach of many Americans, and bankrupted those who can afford them. In response, cancer patients and their families, oncologists and other providers, and public officials are demanding a new approach to cancer, one that puts less emphasis on profitable drugs and devices and more on integrated prevention, early intervention, and affordable treatment approaches.

Abstract:

Pediatric cancer treatment has seen an incredible increase in survival rates, so that, overall, 75% of children diagnosed with cancer will achieve longterm survival and cure (Ries et al., 2003). An estimated 9,000 new cases of childhood cancer are expected to occur each year (American Cancer Society, 2003), among which one third involve leukemia and one quarter involve a central nervous system (CNS) tumor. Other diagnoses include lymphoma, sympathetic nerve tumor, soft tissue sarcoma, bone tumor, germ cell tumor, and retinoblastoma (Gustafsson, Langmark, Pihkala, Verdier, & Lilleaas, 1998). Although less than 1% of all cancer cases are children (Stiller & Draper, 1998), pediatric cancer causes more deaths among children in industrialized nations than any other disease and after accidents is the leading cause of death among children 1–14 years of age (American Cancer Society, 2003). Improvement in survival rates is the result of increasingly aggressive treatment protocols. With these advances, however, has come greater need for supportive care to address the array of treatment adverse side effects, including pain (Gustafsson et al., 1998). In the United States, 94% of children are treated at centers that are members of a collaborative clinical trials research consortium (American Cancer Society, 2003), implying that treatment protocols, including approaches to preventing and managing adverse side effects, are the norm. To a great degree, however, management of pain has been exempt from this standardized and rigorous approach. This is somewhat ironic and unfortunate as children with cancer reported pain to be the most feared symptom they experience (Enskar, Carlsson, Golsater, Hamrin, & Kreuger, 1997). Undertreatment of pain in children is hardly unique to the cancer population (Schechter, Berde, & Yaster, 2003), and is generally because of limited information available to clinicians, persistence of misinformation about pain in children, and attitudes that denigrate adequate pain management. For example, there is a lack of research on pharmacological interventions for pain in children. Although it is agreed that randomized clinical trials for pain prevention and management would be helpful to address issues of safety, efficacy, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics in pediatrics, the pragmatics and ethics of such research, especially in very young children, have limited such progress (Berde, Brennan, & Raja, 2003).

Abstract:

Introduction:Worldwide, forest fires are among the most common forms of natural disasters. In the closing years of the last century there was an increase of the burned area in some parts of the globe, including in Europe. Portugal has been particularly affected by large forest fires and megafires, which have been occurred mainly in the central and northern regions. The proximity of firefighters to fire exposes them to high levels of toxic compounds making this occupation one of the most dangerous and leading International Agency for Research on Cancer to classified occupational firefighting activity as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Up to date, the existing studies are mainly focused on environmental monitoring, existing limited information regarding biomonitoring assessments during real scenarios of wildland fires combat. This study aims to evaluate the impact of firefighting occupational exposure at molecular and cellular levels, considering personal exposure levels. Early-effect biomarkers (e.g., micronucleus, DNA strand breaks and oxidative DNA damage) will be analyzed in order to understand the mechanisms of action through which woodsmoke may impact firefighters’ health, including the risk of cancer. Methodology:This ongoing prospective longitudinal study will comprise three different stages, specifically pre-exposure, exposure, and post-exposure to fire season. Around 200 wildland northern Portuguese firefighters will be involved in this study. Characterization of the study population will be conducted via questionnaires. Firefighters’ personal exposurelevels will be assessed by means of metabolites in exhaled breath, using an artificial olfactory system (e-nose technology). Buccal and urine samples will be used to measure genomic instability through micronucleus test in buccal epithelial cells and urothelial cells. DNA damage and oxidative DNA damage will be evaluated in peripheral blood lymphocytes using the comet assay. Statistical analysis will be performed to determine the relationship between personal exposure levels to toxic compounds and the early-effect biomarkers over the three different phases of the study. Expected results: The obtained results will support a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of occupational risks among wildland firefighters, crucial to prevent/reduce the associated health impacts. This work will contribute tothe establishment of recommendations/good practices to improve firefighters’ working conditions, allowing better definitions of policies and prevention strategies highly needed in this sector.

Abstract:

Health, United States, 2019 is the 43rd report on the health status of the nation and is submitted by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to the President and the Congress of the United States in compliance with Section 308 of the Public Health Service Act. This report was compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Health, United States series presents an annual overview of national trends in key health indicators. The 2019 report presents trends and current information on selected measures of morbidity, mortality, health care utilization and access, health risk factors, prevention, health insurance, and personal health care expenditures in a 20-figure chartbook. The Health, United States, 2019 Chartbook is supplemented by several other products including Trend Tables, an At-a-Glance table, and Appendixes available for download on the Health, United States website at: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/ index.htm. The Health, United States, 2019 Chartbook contains 20 figures and 20 tables on health and health care in the United States. Examining trends in health informs the development, implementation, and evaluation of health policies and programs. The first section (Figures 1–13) focuses on health status and determinants: life expectancy, infant mortality, selected causes of death, overdose deaths, suicide, maternal mortality, teen births, preterm births, use of tobacco products, asthma, hypertension, heart disease and cancer, and functional limitations. The second section (Figures 14–15) presents trends in health care utilization: use of mammography and colorectal tests and unmet medical needs. The third section (Figures 16–17) focuses on health care resources: availability of physicians and dentists. The fourth section (Figures 18–20) describes trends in personal health care expenditures, health insurance coverage, and supplemental insurance coverage among Medicare beneficiaries. The Highlights section summarizes major findings from the Chartbook. Suggested citation: National Center for Health Statistics. Health, United States, 2019. Hyattsville, MD. 2021.
