Abstract:
Drug abuse is a worldwide serious health problem. Peer education is an effective method in preventing risky behaviors and educating teens about drug abuse. Aim of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of peer education intervention to promote drug abuse prevention among secondary schools students. Methods: a quasi-experimental research design was used. A multi-stage random sample selection of six secondary schools affiliated to the Ministry of Education and Technical Education was utilized. A convenience sample of 1200 students was selected from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades of the

A new model for substance abuse prevention for athletic teams is described. This model employs the concept of peer education but has each team elect members they regard as leaders to become the peer educators. These student athletes are then trained to work as internal resources for their respective teams. Their roles include serving as resources for teammates who may already suffer from AOD problems. An equally important role is as a prevention specialist in helping to arrange presentations on issues that are pertinent to a particular team. In order for this model to run effectively, certain

Abstract:
As children reach adolescence, peer groups gain special power to influence their behavior, and young people tend to adapt their behavior to fit group norms. When students engage in bullying, alcohol and drug abuse, and other behavior, those in their peer group are more likely to engage in those behaviors as well. The authors sought to evaluate whether having students engage in peer learning through interdependent cooperative groups might disrupt this tendency. Middle school teachers were trained in using peer learning to teach their regular curriculum, and after one year, students showed more

Abstract:
Since the mid-1990s, zero tolerance policies have been utilized in K-12 education as a means of addressing and deterring acts of violence on school grounds. While originally designed to address serious infractions, such as possession of weapons and drugs in schools, these policies have been expanded to include less serious offenses, such as fighting, absences, and other minor disturbances. Critics argue that this punitive approach has not only led to the inconsistent use and application of these policies but has also been used as a means of forcing lower performing students and minorities out of school by criminalizing minor acts thereby creating a school-to-prison pipeline. Research has identified that these policies are ineffective and has had a detrimental impact on kids both in school and beyond, yet they are still popular. This chapter examines these various issues and harmful consequences of zero tolerance while offering recommendations for schools to implement restorative justice practices, or a similar philosophy, in their response to wrongdoings by students.

Abstract:
Chapter 7 describes treatment procedures for children who refuse school to pursue tangible rewards outside of school. Common behaviors in this functional group include secrecy to hide school absences, verbal and physical aggression, running away, spending an excessive amount of time with friends, disruptive behavior to stay out of school, hostile attitude, refusal to talk, drug use, and excessive sleep. The major focus of treatment is relevant family members, most likely the parents and the child (more likely adolescent) refusing school. The major goal is to provide family members with a better way of solving problems, reducing conflict, increasing rewards for school attendance, and decreasing rewards for school absence. Ways of improving family communication, solving problems by establishing and sticking to contracts, and dealing with peers are discussed. Special topics covered are 504 plans and individualized education plans, alternative educational placements, the need to involve law enforcement, and problems getting out of bed.

Abstract:
The increase in prevalence of students impacted by environmental trauma is evident in classrooms all across the country. Nearly half of all U.S. children have been exposed to at least one traumatic event and more than 1 in 5 have been exposed to several. This environment often causes students to have extensive learning, social, and behavioral challenges. They fall behind academically, fail to develop healthy relationships with peers, or create problems with teachers and principals because they are unable to trust adults. In addition, these students often find solace in food, alcohol, drugs, sex, and other high-risk behaviors. Specifically, this chapter will help school professionals 1) define and explore the impact of trauma on the developing brain's ability to learn, 2) become aware of the prevalence of trauma exposure in today's classrooms, 3) describe how to implement trauma sensitive best practices in schools and classrooms, and 4) incorporate educator self-care and wellness practices within a trauma sensitive environment.

Full text
Abstract:
Suboptimal adherence to prescribed cardiovascular medicines is highly prevalent, associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and costly to manage. Adherence is defined by the three phases of initiation, implementation, and discontinuation. Up to one in six patients prescribed a statin do not initiate treatment and less than 60% of patients persist with therapy at 2 years. Even among patients who engage with the dosing regimen, about 10% of scheduled doses are missed on any given day. There is no evidence of significant differences in persistence across different classes of cardiovascular medicines, but persistence is worse in the context of primary prevention, compared with secondary prevention. The relative risk of development of cardiovascular disease in patients with good versus poor adherence is 0.85 and 0.81 for statins and antihypertensive medications, respectively. The consequences of variable dose implementation may be tempered by the use of drugs which are forgiving to variable dosing, that is, drugs whose pharmacological activity persists despite the occasional late or missed dose. The use of specific interventions that involve electronic reminders, pharmacist-led interventions, and healthcare professional education of patients may be an effective strategy to improve adherence to statins, and to achieve corresponding decreases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Improving adherence to preventative cardiovascular medicines could result in savings of over £109 million (€126 million) per year in the United Kingdom alone, and could lead to a 35% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality.

Abstract:
Epilepsy is a common condition that affects large numbers of working people. In about one-third, epilepsy is the only condition, and in others there are additional neurological, intellectual, or psychological problems. Uncontrolled epileptic seizures can lead to injury and may impact on education and employment, but antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment is effective in approximately 70 per cent of people with epilepsy. Many people do not disclose a history of epileptic seizures when applying for a job or during a routine examination at the workplace. This may cause major problems for the individual and the employer and, on occasions, inadvertently contravene the HSW Act or invalidate insurance cover. However, the disability provisions of the Equality Act 2010 now confer some protection on those with epilepsy. The unenlightened attitudes of some employers have led to secrecy or denial by those affected. The possibility of dangerous situations arising at work, or dismissal without recourse to appeal, may be the consequence. A competent occupational health service, trusted by both shop-floor and management, can be invaluable in resolving conflicts and giving advice. Responsibility for the employment and placement of a person with epilepsy rests with the employer and they should take appropriate medical advice. Each case must be judged on its merits in light of the available information, which must include a sound and complete understanding of the requirements of the job. Employees with epilepsy must be regularly reviewed. The development of good rapport and mutual trust will encourage employees to report any changes in their condition or treatment that have arisen.

Abstract:
During the latter part of the nineteenth century, few changes occurred in drug therapy and the treatment of nonsurgical disorders, which comprised the bulk of medical practice. Major improvements occurred in the diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases and in surgery, which was revolutionized by the discovery of anesthetics and antiseptic techniques. Dispensaries and hospitals continued to expand as providers of health care in urban areas, with dispensaries playing the larger role. Hospitals assumed a significant educational role. The number of physicians increased at a rate comparable to the growth in population in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The 55,055 physicians enumerated by the census in 1860 increased to 132,002 in 1900, about 175 physicians per 100,000 population at both dates. Medical schools graduated enough students to assure a reasonable supply of physicians in almost all towns and villages in the country, although urban areas continued to have more physicians per capita. The physician who began practice in a large city entered a highly competitive profession. He usually started by caring for the tenement population, perhaps augmenting his income by working as a dispensary or railroad physician or assisting another practitioner. His earnings were low and he had few regular patients. Eventually he found a neighborhood where he was able to attract enough patients to establish himself. Competition from other physicians and from pharmacists and dispensaries remained a problem throughout his career. A physician who chose a small town or rural area, where most of the population lived, had a different type of career. Rural families were poor and the physician’s services were low on their list of priorities. Professional relations reflected this fact. Established physicians often greeted the newcomer by sending him their nonpaying patients. Once the rural physician established a clientele, he had less difficulty keeping it than an urban physician. The stability of rural populations enabled him to retain the patronage of families from one generation to another.
