Abstract:

Risk and protective factors for juvenile delinquency are identified and addressed at national and local levels. A need for an information, referral, and volunteer center to reduce risk factors and promote protective factors in youth was identified in Warren County. The ALIVE Center (A Local Information and Volunteer Exchange) was founded to address this need. Qualitative research of services and programs offered by information, referral, and volunteer centers and a survey to specific local agencies as regards their use of the ALIVE Center was conducted to guide the development of services at the ALIVE Center. Information, resource, and referral centers across the nation were researched to determine the scope of programs and services offered. A 19-question survey was developed to assess the current status and use of the ALIVE Center and administered to center coordinators at Kentucky Family Resource and Youth Services Centers affiliated with Warren County and Bowling Green City Schools. Qualitative research from the information, resource, and referral centers yielded contact information, program descriptions, website information, and brochures of 39 centers. This research was used during the formative stage of the center and generated ideas for the center's website and guided youth program development. The results of the survey indicated that the ALIVE Center was extremely familiar to center coordinators at Family Resource and Youth Service Centers and regarded as extremely effective in providing services.

Honeywell International Corporation is a $27.5 billion [1] conglomerate with a diverse portfolio of businesses covering Aerospace, Automation and Controls, Specialty Materials and Transportation. Honeywell's Automation and Controls Solutions (ACS) business is the second largest business group with $9.4 billion in sales in 2005. This business group is further divided into the following strategic business units: * Security (Facilities) * Life Safety * Building Solutions * Process Solutions * Sensing and Control * Environmental and Combustion Controls The Environmental and Combustion Controls (ECC) business unit of Honeywell ACS maintains a global manufacturing and distribution presence. ECC delivers complex systems that control air, water and combustion for both homes and industrial customers. Historically, ECC plants in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region have either had their own warehouses or had a captive third party provider that provided warehousing services offsite. However, recent initiatives in the region have culminated in the adoption of a regional distribution center model. Essentially, clusters of plants are grouped into regions that are served by the same warehouse or distribution center.
(cont.) The regional warehouse in Heilbronn Germany (ERD) is the pilot for such a system. Plants in Emmen in the Netherlands, Brno in the Czech Republic, Nagykanisza in Hungary and Schoenaich and Mosbach in Germany, as well as some small Low Risk Distribution (LRD) centers - which stock emergency volumes - in western Europe will all be consolidated and served from the distribution center in Heilbronn. This essentially means that instead of storing their own inventory, all the affected plants will truck all production to the Heilbronn warehouse on a daily basis. The Heilbronn warehouse, which commenced operation in May, 2005 subsequently fulfills all customer orders associated with the locations listed above. During the consolidation exercise, while planning for receipt of goods from the different plants, it became clear that there were multiple packaging standards in use throughout Europe. There thus arose the need to consolidate the different standards into a coherent well-defined standard to enable the new distribution center established at Heilbronn, Germany, to properly handle goods from the different plants.
(cont.) Additionally, the newly built ERD had a need for an established set of packing guidelines that may include procedural changes or the establishment of new procedures, changes to the physical setup of the outbound lines (freight and parcel), presentation and replenishment of packaging material and suggestions for improvement for the long term. Receiving guidelines have also been newly instituted for products arriving at the ERD, which also creates a case for compliance for goods being shipped from suppliers including a counterpart warehouse - the Louisville Distribution Center (LDC) - in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition, the LDC had been having difficulty receiving freight from the European plants. The major problems included inadequate labeling, lack of overpacking, inconsistency in packing of mixed pallets and the non-usage of Honeywell 40" X 32" pallets. Since all European plant shipments that formerly shipped directly from each plant would be shipping from ERD in Heilbronn going forward, it became imperative that appropriate packaging standards be developed (in Europe) in order to ensure compliance with receiving guidelines in Louisville at the LDC. Fulfillment through the distribution centers is what drives customer satisfaction.
(cont.) No matter how efficient the plants may be, transit through the distribution centers is the proverbial "last mile" that delivers all the efforts of the firm to the customers. I have developed and recommended a packaging standard, which outlines the levels to which packaged products must be tested in preparation for safe shipping. I analyzed current packing practice at the ERD showing relevant cost drivers and made recommendations on ways to pack in order to improve service to the downstream distribution center while keeping costs contained. I developed a framework to guide warehouse management with regards to pallet shipping decisions between the ERD and LDC. Finally, I developed a carton replenishment framework for the ERD that can be adopted for other appropriate ECC warehouses.

Abstract:

The deep learning technique Human Pose Estimation (or Human Keypoint Detection) is a promising field in tracking a person and identifying its posture. As posture and balance are two closely related concepts, the use of human pose estimation could be applied to fall prevention. By deriving the location of a persons Center of Mass and thereafter its Center of Pressure, one can evaluate the balance of a person without the use of force plates or sensors and solely using cameras. In this study, a human pose estimation model together with a predefined human weight distribution model were used to extract the location of a persons Center of Pressure in real time. The proposed method utilized two different methods of acquiring depth information from the frames - stereoscopy through two RGB-cameras and with the use of one RGB-depth camera. The estimated location of the Center of Pressure were compared to the location of the same parameter extracted while using the force plate Wii Balance Board. As the proposed method were to operate in real-time and without the use of computational processor enhancement, the choice of human pose estimation model were aimed to maximize software input/output speed. Thus, three models were used - one smaller and faster model called Lightweight Pose Network, one larger and accurate model called High-Resolution Network and one model placing itself somewhere in between the two other models, namely Pose Residual Network. The proposed method showed promising results for a real-time method of acquiring balance parameters. Although the largest source of error were the acquisition of depth information from the cameras. The results also showed that using a smaller and faster human pose estimation model proved to be sufficient in relation to the larger more accurate models in real-time usage and without the use of computational processor enhancement.
Djupinlärningstekniken Kroppshållningsestimation är ett lovande medel gällande att följa en person och identifiera dess kroppshållning. Eftersom kroppshållning och balans är två närliggande koncept, kan användning av kroppshållningsestimation appliceras till fallprevention. Genom att härleda läget för en persons tyngdpunkt och därefter läget för dess tryckcentrum, kan utvärdering en persons balans genomföras utan att använda kraftplattor eller sensorer och att enbart använda kameror. I denna studie har en kroppshållningsestimationmodell tillsammans med en fördefinierad kroppsviktfördelning använts för att extrahera läget för en persons tryckcentrum i realtid. Den föreslagna metoden använder två olika metoder för att utvinna djupseende av bilderna från kameror - stereoskopi genom användning av två RGB-kameror eller genom användning av en RGB-djupseende kamera. Det estimerade läget av tryckcentrat jämfördes med läget av samma parameter utvunnet genom användning av tryckplattan Wii Balance Board. Eftersom den föreslagna metoden var ämnad att fungera i realtid och utan hjälp av en GPU, blev valet av kroppshållningsestimationsmodellen inriktat på att maximera mjukvaruhastighet. Därför användes tre olika modeller - en mindre och snabbare modell vid namn Lightweight Pose Network, en större och mer träffsäker modell vid namn High-Resolution Network och en model som placerar sig någonstans mitt emellan de två andra modellerna gällande snabbhet och träffsäkerhet vid namn Pose Resolution Network. Den föreslagna metoden visade lovande resultat för utvinning av balansparametrar i realtid, fastän den största felfaktorn visade sig vara djupseendetekniken. Resultaten visade att användning av en mindre och snabbare kroppshållningsestimationsmodellen påvisar att hålla måttet i jämförelse med större och mer träffsäkra modeller vid användning i realtid och utan användning av externa dataprocessorer.

Full text

Abstract:

Naloxone has received increased public health attention in recent years given its effectiveness in the reversal of opioid overdoses. Despite continued increases in overdose death rates attributable to opioids, approaches to naloxone dissemination, prescribing and dispensing are quite variable across states. On the public health prevention continuum, naloxone dissemination and use could be considered quaternary prevention —actions taken to identify individuals at risk of over-medication, protect them from new medical invasion and suggest interventions which are ethically acceptable. This presentation will describe approaches to overdose death prevention with naloxone in four states: Maine, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of community pharmacies in increasing naloxone dissemination. Attendees will be informed about recent legislative, educational and profession-specific prevention strategies and will thereafter engage in active learning to apply prevention strategies in their respective states. In addition to discussing barriers to and suggestions for increased naloxone uptake, presenters will describe assessments that can be used to evaluate overdose risk and subsequent naloxone co-prescribing/dispensing.

Abstract:

Introduction: In years 1994 to 1997, the Kateri Memorial Hospital Center in conjunction with the Kahnawake Education Center, and the Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project developed an elementary school diabetes prevention curriculum. The curriculum aimed to increase knowledge of type 2 diabetes, healthy eating and active lifestyles of the children with the long term goal of preventing obesity and diabetes among the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) population of Kahnawake, Quebec. The curriculum consisted of three units: nutrition, fitness, and lifestyles and diabetes, divided into 10, 45-minute lessons for grades 1 through 6. The Kahnawake Diabetes Prevention Project has been involved with one of the longest diabetes prevention school based curricula; it has been implemented in Kahnawake elementary schools for 15 years. Objectives: To evaluate the implementation of the Kateri Memorial Hospital Center health education curriculum in the years 2010/2011 and 2011/2012, and to further explore the barriers and the facilitators of the health education curriculum from the perspectives of teachers, parents, curriculum authors and school administrators. Subjects and Methods: This study adopted a community-based participatory approach. The participants of this study were selected from four groups of people including teachers, parents, curriculum authors and school administrators. The design of this study was qualitative descriptive combined with a cross-sectional survey. Questionnaires were distributed to classroom teachers in the Kahnawake elementary schools. The qualitative portion was undertaken using talking circles with parents, curriculum authors and teachers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with school principals to understand current issues with the curriculum and to develop recommendations for future changes and implementation. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze the questionnaire results such as the number of curriculum lessons taught, the number of teachers who implemented the curriculum and the number of students who received the curriculum. The talking circles and the semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Thematic textual analysis was performed to identify emerging themes. Results: The findings showed that participants perceived the health education curriculum as important to the children to increase knowledge regarding health behaviours to prevent Type 2 diabetes. The strengths of the curriculum included factors involving a positive school environment and certain aspects of delivery and curriculum content. Weaknesses included lack of administrative support, instructional time and time management issues, a lack of Mohawk cultural representation, and outdated or missing resource materials. Recommendations addressed curriculum content, cultural integration, methodology development and administrative support to revitalize the curriculum and its delivery. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this project was the first study exploring the barriers and facilitators of this 15-year-old diabetes prevention curriculum. The results obtained from this project provide knowledge on the challenges and the strengths faced with a health education curriculum from different perspectives. The findings will be used to make recommendations for revision, development and implementation of a new health education curriculum.
Introduction: Dans les années 1994 à 1997, le Centre Hospitalier de Kateri Memorial en collaboration avec le Centre de l'Education de Kahnawake ont développé un cursus de la prévention de diabète pour les écoles élémentaire. L'intervention vise à augmenter les connaissances et changer l'environnement physique et les normes sociales des écoles et de la communauté par la promotion de l'alimentation de bonne santé et la mode actif de vie avec l'objectif de longue durée de prévenir l'obésité et le diabète chez la population de Kanien'kehá:ka. Le programme consiste de trois unités: la nutrition, le fitness et les modes de vie, et le diabète, divisé de cours en 10 et 45 minutes pour chaque classe de 1 à 6. Le projet de prévention du diabète de Kahnawake a été impliqué dans un des plus anciens programmes de prévention du diabète en milieu scolaire; il a été mis en œuvre dans les écoles élémentaire de Kahnawake pour 15 ans. Objectifs: D'évaluer la mise en œuvre du programme d'éducation à la santé de l'hôpital de Kateri Memorial dans les années 2010/2011 et 2011/2012, et d'explorer les obstacles et les facilitateurs de la programme du point de vue des enseignants, des parents, des auteurs du programme et les administrateurs scolaires. Objets et méthodes: Cette étude adopte une approche communautaire participative. La population cible de cette étude est sélectionné parmi les trois sous-groupes de personnes dont les enseignants, les parents, les auteurs du programme et les administrateurs scolaires. Le design de cette étude était descriptive qualitative combinée avec une enquête transversale. Les questionnaires ont été distribués aux enseignants d'écoles élémentaires à Kahnawake. La partie qualitative a été menée à l'aide des cercles de discussion avec les parents, les auteurs et les enseignants. Les entrevues semi-structurées ont été réalisées avec les administrateurs des écoles pour mieux comprendre les enjeux actuels avec le programme d'études et d'élaborer des recommandations pour des futurs changements. Les statistiques descriptives ont été appliquées pour analyser les résultats du questionnaire, comme le nombre de leçons du programme enseigné, le nombre d'enseignants qui a implémenté le programme et le nombre d'étudiants qui ont reçu le curriculum. Les cercles de discussion et les entrevues semi-structurées ont été audio-enregistrées et transcrites textuellement. L'analyse textuelle thématique a été réalisée afin d'identifier les thèmes émergents. Résultats: Les résultats ont démontré que les participants perçoivent le programme d'éducation à la santé important pour les enfants à accroître les connaissances sur les comportements de santé pour prévenir le diabète de type 2. Les points forts du programme comprenaient des facteurs impliquant un environnement scolaire positif et certains aspects de la prestation et le contenu du programme. Faiblesses comprenaient le manque de soutien administratif, le temps d'enseignement et les problèmes de gestion du temps, un manque de représentation culturelle Mohawk, et des ressources obsolètes ou manquantes. Recommandations adressées contenu du programme l'intégration culturelle, le développement de la méthodologie et de soutien administratif afin de revitaliser le programme et sa livraison.Conclusion: À notre connaissance, ce projet a été la première étude à explorer les obstacles et les facilitateurs de ce programme de 15 ans de prévention du diabète. Les résultats obtenus à partir de ce projet apportent des connaissances sur les défis et les atouts face à un programme d'éducation sanitaire à partir de perspectives différentes. Les résultats serviront à formuler des recommandations pour la révision ou l'élaboration d'un nouveau programme d'éducation sanitaire.

Abstract:

Background: At a primary care center in Brooklyn, New York, approximately 27% of diabetic patients with abnormal Hgb A1C fail to return for follow-up appointments, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to electronic medical records (EMR), healthcare providers demonstrated inconsistency in ordering and monitoring Hgb A1C and clinic follow-up appointments for patients. Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to determine retrospectively the healthcare providers’ ordering, monitoring, and follow-up appointments for adult diabetic patients with abnormal Hgb A1Cs; to develop and implement astandardized process for healthcare providers to monitor and follow these patients, especially those with possible nonclinic follow-up compliance and abnormal Hgb A1C; to determine prospectively healthcare providers’ ordering, monitoring, and follow-up appointments; and to evaluate the prospective charts to determine if Hgb AIC results changed from abnormal to normal or elevation over time until the next follow-up appointment.

Abstract:

This study identifies factors that fosters and hinders coordination among key agencies operating in One-Stop Centers in Zambia such as the police, health and social welfare that provide coordinated medical, social and legal services to the victims of gender-based violence. This is a primary qualitative study in which data was collected using interviews from participants selected from the key agencies operating from five One-Stop Centers in Lusaka province of the Republic of Zambia. Thematic content analysis was used to generate categories of data with similar meaning based on frequently recurring themes. Findings showed that although there is positive coordination among One-Stop Center agency players, there are a host of coordination challenges among them. The study gathered that information sharing, communication, clearly defined goals and agreed outcome, increased knowledge of inter-disciplinary roles and inter-agency philosophy foster effective inter-agency coordination among key players in One Stop centers . On the other hand, hindering factors such as lack of adequate resources, high attrition of staff, loss of membership interest and commitment, andlack of motivation and heavy reliance on unmotivated volunteers were identified as major setbacks to effective operation of One-Stop Centers in Zambia. The study further found that adequate allocation of resources, joint capacity building trainings and permanent attachment of staff to One-Stop Centers as panacea to the various challenges that encumber effective operation in One-Stop centers in Zambia. Implications and future research direction are discussed.

Abstract:

There is compelling evidence that helping adolescents develop certain traits (especially related to resiliency) can mitigate the confounding effects of suicide. Specific demographics of youth appear to have higher rates of suicidal behavior including those with mental health diagnoses and educational disabilities that affect students' academic achievement. We looked at evidence based social and emotional learning programs (SEL) that fostered adaptive coping skills and resilience. We identified Strong Teens (Carrizales-Engelmann, Merrell, Feuerborn, Gueldner, & Tran, 2016) as a program that could be easily administered and adapted into traditional and nontraditional school settings. This study was conducted in a residential treatment center (RTC) for adolescent males. The RTC permitted one of their therapists to implement the Strong Teens over the course of two consecutively run groups. Group 1 included seven boys and Group 2 included four boys. We relied on the therapist's self-assessment of modifications made to the program; the researcher's field notes collected during observations; emails between the therapist and researcher; the researcher's notes taken during conversations between the therapist and researcher; monthly Youth Outcome Questionnaire Self Report (Y-OQ-SR) test scores; youth Strong Teens pre and post test scores; and youth exit surveys conducted in one-one interviews at the conclusion of the Strong Teens lessons. Fidelity of program implementation was measured by the therapist and researcher completing the Strong Teens fidelity checklist (included in the Strong Teens manual). Based on collected data, we make the following recommendations: Adapt the Strong Teens program to increase student participation and receptiveness; carefully consider the size of the group, taking into account the capacity of the group leader to manage the group's behaviors and attend to individual needs; consider conducting groups sessions in settings that help youth feel safe and comfortable--groups held outside may be preferable to groups held inside classrooms; mental health professionals and teachers who lead the Strong Teens lessons may consider learning about a variety of basic therapeutic strategies and how these strategies might fit participants' needs; when evaluating the effectiveness of Strong Teens, carefully gather, consider, and contextualize a variety of data (quantitative and qualitative) from a variety of sources (youth participants, group leaders, and others who interact with the youth); in addition to focusing on teaching information and skills, group leaders must consider motivational strategies; focus initial conversations on why one would use such strategies to benefit oneself--later conversations may expand to include how strategies benefit others.

Full text

Abstract:

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue. One in five women and one in seven men will experience severe physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime in the US; and one in three women globally (Breiding, Basile, Smith, Black, & Mahendra, 2015; World Health Organization, 2017). Notwithstanding such stark statistics, there is a gap in research on batterers and on batterer intervention and prevention programs (BIPP). Purpose: Program processes related to follow-up of clients were evaluated at the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence Batterer Intervention and Prevention Program (CASFV BIPP) through a mixed-methods process evaluation. The research incorporated community-based participatory research methods in that the project was co-developed with the community partner (CASFV) and addressed program interests and needs. Methods: The process evaluation consisted of examining inputs, activities and outputs related to evaluation questions. Data collection methods include survey research among 110 BIPP program clients, development of a program description and logic model, data gathered through qualitative interviews with program staff, and presentation of data on recidivism rates collected by the program. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Quantitative data analysis focused on descriptive statistics using the SPSS Data Analysis Package. Results: Nearly 60% of clients were between the ages of 25 and 38; 79% were male; 79.1% were Hispanic; and 94.5% felt the program had benefited them. A majority of clients (78.2%) agreed to be contacted by cellphone two years after completing the program as a follow-up measure. The research with clients and staff indicated that follow-up by cellphone two years after completion was the best protocol for following up with clients because the time frame allowed for completion of other obligations such as parole that may affect recidivism rates. In addition, client satisfaction with the program was the strongest predictor for receptivity to follow-up (p = .004). Conclusions: Current follow up protocols were examined to recommend a standardized protocol, and it was recommended that follow-up be conducted by cellphone two years after program completion. Based on data obtained from client and staff, it was further recommended that additional means of contact such as email and social media be explored in the near term.

Background Maternal opioid use and neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) incidence have increased markedly in the US in recent years. Objectives (1) To assess prescribers’ and community pharmacists’ guideline-based NAS prevention behaviors; (2) to describe providers’ perceptions of contraceptive appropriateness in female patients of childbearing age. Method Cross-sectional study of 100 randomly selected primary care physicians, 100 prescribers authorized to engage in in-office treatment of opioid use disorders with buprenorphine, 100 pain management clinic directors, and 100 community pharmacists in Tennessee (N = 400 providers total) to evaluate self-reported engagement in 15 NAS prevention behaviors and perceived appropriateness of 8 contraceptive methods in opioid using women of childbearing age. Results An overall response rate of 17.5% was obtained. Pain clinic directors reported the most engagement in NAS prevention, engaging 80% or more of female patients of childbearing age prescribed an opioid in 11 prevention behaviors, followed by buprenorphine prescribers (8 behaviors), primary care physicians (5 behaviors), and community pharmacists (2 behaviors). Pain clinic directors, primary care physicians, and community pharmacists perceived oral contraceptive pills and patches to be as appropriate as long-acting, reversible forms of contraception (e.g., implants, injectable depots, intrauterine devices). Conclusion Provider engagement in behaviors that could prevent NAS is variable. Interventions should be implemented that equip providers to engage patients in conversations about long-acting, reversible contraception.

Abstract:

Prescription drug abuse (PDA) is an epidemic nationwide and has disproportionally impacted the Southern Appalachian region. Situated within a geographic area known for pervasive PDA and its consequences, The Gatton College of Pharmacy and Academic Health Sciences Center (AHSC) at East Tennessee State University are proactively engaging the Region and its health professions students to address the problem. Over the College’s six-year history of community engagement in PDA, efforts have focused on primary prevention activities, PDA treatment, awareness, education, and interprofessional collaboration as the key impact sectors. Notable programs include Generation Rx, Operation Rx Disposal, continuing education (CE) programming, and establishment of the ETSU Diversity-promoting Institutions Drug Abuse Research Program. In 2013-2014, 3 faculty and 38 Generation Rx pharmacy students engaged 4000 children and adolescents in PDA prevention education. Operation Rx Disposal employed 5 faculty members and 35 student pharmacists to assist more than 1000 households in removing unwanted medication from their homes through conduction of drug take-back events. Over 2000 health care providers from regional communities participated in PDA CE events conducted by 3 pharmacy faculty members. Additionally, 3 externally funded, PDA-specific grants totaling $2.26 million were awarded to pharmacy faculty members to engage communities, health care professionals, and students in innovative PDA prevention research. The College’s efforts have been nationally recognized by peers, professional organizations, state boards of pharmacy and within the evidentiary literature.

Abstract:

This research examines agency data for participants in a truancy intervention program. Previous literature provides mostly descriptive information and fails to examine the effects of truancy intervention efforts. The analysis provides a profile of truant participants referred to the program and factors that correlate to successful completion of the program requirements. The results will be applicable to the study program as evaluation research and will be generalized for application to other truancy programs. Directions for future truancy research will be suggested based on the need to continue to evaluate truancy reduction efforts.

Abstract:

With an aging population that suffers from comorbidity, healthcare is facing grand challenges. In order to meet the demand, digitalization is thought to be an opportunity. Digitalization of curative care, such as diagnostics and treatment, have been initiated and is today used and appreciated. Preventative care, on the other hand, has not been included in the digital adaptions to the same extent and there are few scientific studies within the area. Nonetheless, a further proactive care that meets patients and healthcare personnel are of interest to several actors. The Swedish Government has a vision that Sweden, in 2025, will be world leading within eHealth. For that to be possible, digital preventative care have to support and complete the preventative work that is performed today. The present study has investigated the attitude towards Connected Medical Devices for Prevention (CMDfP) within the primary care. By a mixed-methodology including questionnaires, the opinions of 24 health center personnel and 17 patients prescribed with Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) were collected and analyzed. The results show that health center personnel are willing to prescribe connected eHealth devices for prevention and patients are willing to use the devices prescribed. Additionally, among the respondents there is a belief that CMDfP could facilitate in order to increase the adherence to PAP without any major impact on the personnel's workload. By digitalizing preventative care, it is possible that people will be able to live healthier and therefore not require care to the same extent as today. Reasons to the possible results are that digital tools within curative care have been shown to generate positive outcomes to chronically ill patients that utilize home care. Additionally, studies of preventative care have generated positive outcomes to the health of the population in several countries. It is therefore likely that the combination, digital preventative care, would be rapidly relished. These thoughts align with the positive results on attitudes of this study. Before CMDfP could be prescribed to patients, pilot studies have to be performed and new work routines including reimbursement models, have to be established within healthcare. These are all areas of future work within medical engineering.
Med en åldrande population som lider av samsjuklighet, står hälso- och sjukvården inför stora utmaningar. För att möta behovet är digitalisering en möjlighet. Digitalisering av åtgärdande vård, så som diagnostik och behandling, har redan påbörjats och är idag uppskattat. Preventiv vård har, å andra sidan, inte varit inkluderad i den digitala utvecklingen och därav saknas det vetenskapliga studier inom området. Dock är en mer proaktiv vård av stort intresse för flera aktörer. Sveriges regering har en vision att Sverige, år 2025, ska vara världsledande inom eHälsa. För att detta ska vara möjligt måste digital preventiv vård möta och komplettera det preventiva arbete som bedrivs idag. Denna studie har undersökt attityderna till Uppkopplade Medicinsktekniska Hjälpmedel för Prevention (UMHfP) bland primärvården. Genom en metod som inkluderat enkätundersökningar, inhämtades och analyserades attityden av 24 personer från personalen på vårdcentraler och 17 patienter med Fysisk Aktivitet på Recept (FaR). Resultaten visade att primärvårdspersonal är villiga att förskriva UMHfP och att patienter vill använda de hjälpmedlen som förskrivs. Dessutom har respondenterna tro att UMHfP kan underlätta att förbättra följsamheten till FaR utan att påverka personalens arbetsbörda nämnvärt. Genom att digitalisera den preventiva vården är det troligt att befolkningen kommer få ett hälsosammare leverne och därför inte behöva vård i samma utsträckning som idag. En anledning till detta är att digitala hjälpmedel för åtgärdande vård har visat sig vara positivt för kroniskt sjuka patienter som hemsjukvårdas. Dessutom har studier inom preventiv vård indikerat flera positiva konsekvenser för invånares hälsa världen över. Det är därför troligt att digitala hjälpmedel i kombination med preventivt arbete snabbt kommer bli uppskattat. Dessa spekulationer sammanfaller väl med det positiva resultatet från denna studie. Innan UMHfP kan förskrivas till patienter måste pilotstudier genomföras och nya arbetssätt inklusive betalningsmodeller måste införas i hälso- och sjukvården. Detta är kommande arbeten inom medicinsk teknik.

Abstract:

Maintaining the health of Tennesseans depends heavily on a well-trained, efficient public health workforce that can work effectively in a complex environment. In order to assess the training needs of this group, the Tennessee Public Health Training Center-LIFEPATH administered a survey to all governmental public health employees in Tennessee during the summer of 2012. This instrument was modeled after previous assessments conducted by health agencies outside of Tennessee which utilized as their rubric the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals developed by the Council on Linkages between Academia and Public Health Practice. The goal of this research was to inform and streamline educational efforts of the Tennessee Department of Health (TDOH), LIFEPATH and their partners across the state by identifying specific competency driven training opportunities within the workforce. Participants were recruited via email and directed to SurveyMonkey, an online survey toolkit, where they could complete the questionnaire. Of the 5178 TDOH employees who received the recruitment email, 3086 individuals completed at least one of the competency questions for a response rate of 59.6%. The survey assigned questions pertinent to the eight core competency areas to respondents based on one of three Tiers – Tier 1: Entry Level, Tier 2: Management Level, Tier 3: Leadership Level. Once the data were collected, responses from all three tiers were dichotomized to generate a “Needs Score” which when summarized represented the percentage of responses indicating a lack of knowledge or proficiency in a competency area. Tier 1 respondents had an average needs score of 60.46% in each of the eight core competency areas. Tier 2 had an average needs score of 49.50%, and Tier 3 respondents had an average needs score of 28.91%. This trend shows that individuals in leadership positions within TDOH were more likely to be knowledgeable or proficient in the eight core competency areas. Prior to administering the survey, TDOH job classifications were submitted to an expert panel within the health department. This body was tasked with assigning tiers to specific job classifications. Previous needs assessments that used the eight core competencies had respondents self-select their tier. As a test of validity the LIFEPATH survey asked TDOH employees to select their job classification in addition to tier. A Kappa test of agreement between self-selection of tier and their actual tier determined by TDOH leadership showed moderate agreement (Kappa=0.5089), suggesting that while most respondents selected the correct tier; there remained some confusion regarding tier definitions. This must be considered when evaluating the results of previous studies that utilize only the self-selected tiers to drive their survey. This data has already begun to direct training goals at the state, regional and local levels across Tennessee and will serve as a baseline measure for future evaluations of educational programing’s impact on workforce competency.

Abstract:

Background: Worksite screening programs are increasingly being provided by employers as a means to reduce cardiovascular risk in employees. A screening program that consists of fasting serum analysis of glucose plus a lipid panel is offered yearly to employees at the VA medical center in Tampa. A retrospective study was conducted to determine if a wellness clinic exposure resulted in significant changes in employees' markers of cardiovascular risk. Methods: Computerized records were used to follow serial outcomes for glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol in employees whose screening results showed abnormal levels of one or more of these markers. An intervention group with 66 subjects received a wellness clinic visit including a health risk assessment and education for lifestyle change, and a reference group with 109 subjects received only serum analysis. Outcomes at repeat screening were compared for the two groups. Results: Both groups showed improvement in cardiovascular risk. In the intervention group there was significant intra-subject improvement from baseline for all markers except glucose. For triglycerides and LDL cholesterol there was a significantly greater proportion of subjects who improved in the intervention group. In addition, the improvement for triglycerides was significantly better in the intervention group. Conclusions: This investigation confirms the value of a worksite wellness program in reducing cardiovascular risk in the population studied. A differential impact of age and gender was seen for glucose and triglycerides and indicates that such modifiers should be considered through covariate analysis in assessing wellness program effectiveness. Increasing levels of employee wellness participation to targets identified in this study and adding a health risk assessment for everyone screened will help to identify the specific benefits of the face to face wellness counseling intervention.

Abstract:

Northeast Tennessee has been disproportionately burdened by a high prevalence of opioid prescribing, prescription drug abuse, addiction, overdose, and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. The East Tennessee State University Prescription Drug Abuse and Misuse Working Group (PDAMWG) formed upon recognizing an urgent need for a collaborative, multi-faceted response to reduce prescription drug abuse. Composed of over 100 members from various agencies, organizations, and institutions, members of this highly interprofessional, university-sponsored working group include academic scholars, healthcare providers, pharmacists, elected officials, students, community members, and more. This collaboration has successfully generated multiple funded research projects and numerous evidence- and community-based initiatives targeting prescription drug abuse. This seminar will focus on substance abuse prevention, specifically the prevention of prescription drug abuse. In addition to providing a data supported summary of the epidemic in the region, this seminar will outline the historical development of the PDAMWG and describe past and present research and community-based initiatives. An emphasis will be on the continuous commitment of the PDAMWG to the development, dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based practices to reduce prescription drug abuse and improve population health in the region. This seminar will also document research as well as community-based outcomes of PDAMWG efforts. Consequently, participants will recognize the effectiveness of strong, cross-sector partnerships for population health improvement. Relatedly, participants will develop a concrete understanding of a collaborative approach that bridges academic research and community-based practice. Perhaps most importantly, participants will discover its potential for replication in other communities to support the achievement of maximum, evidence-based outcomes for various health concerns. Lastly, participants will be introduced to the underlying model of the PDAMWG, which visually depicts evidence-based strategies along the disease continuum. As a result, participants will appreciate the complexity of public health problems and the subsequent importance of a multi-pronged, evidence-based response to addressing them

Abstract:

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Våra matvanor grundläggs tidigt i livet. Med tanke på det rådande hälsoläget i Sverige och världen behöver långvarigt preventiva insatser sättas in i tidig ålder för att bekämpa utvecklingen av fetma. Salut-satsningen är ett exempel på en preventiv insats som syftar till att främja hälsa hos barn och ungdomar. Syfte: Att undersöka hur förstagångsmödrar upplever och uppfattar den information om hälsosamma matvanor som mödrahälsovården (MHV), barnavårdscentralen (BVC) och folktandvården ger inom Salut-satsningen. Metod: Kvalitativa semistrukturerade telefonintervjuer utfördes med 18 strategiskt utvalda förstagångsmödrar vars barn var i åldern ett till ett och ett halvt år. Data analyserades enligt Graneheims kvalitativa innehållsanalys. Mödrarna ingår i Västerbottens Salut-satsning och bor inom upptagningsområdet för Västerbottens läns landsting. Resultat: De flesta mödrar fick information om utrymmesmat, måltidsordning samt frukt och grönsaker. Informationen som vissa av mödrarna fått upplevdes för generell. Något mödrarna saknade från samtalen var mer individanpassad information samt att den skulle vara djupare. Den information som gavs varierade beroende på vilken hälsocentral mödrarna besökt. De hade inställningen att hela familjen bör äta hälsosamt samt att man som förälder bör vara en bra förebild. Många hade inställningen att de hade goda matvanor sedan tidigare och att förändring ej var nödvändig. Slutsats: Informationen om frukt och grönsaker är det budskap som framförallt gått fram till mödrarna, vilket motiverat dem till att göra förändringar i familjens matvanor. Mödrarna upplevde att informationen var för generell och att de saknar bakgrund till råden. En återkommande inställning bland mödrarna var att de redan ansåg sig ha goda matvanor och därför inte behövde ta åt sig av råden.

Abstract:

In an effort to bridge the gap between public health practice and academia, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded Tennessee Public Health Training Center (LIFEPATH) has supported establishment of an Academic Health Department (AHD) involving the East Tennessee State University (ETSU) College of Public Health (COPH) and the Sullivan County Regional Health Department (SCRHD). The SCRHD identified a need to increase internal capacity to conduct ongoing community health assessments and community-oriented practice. Similarly, the COPH recognized the need to expand field-based public health practice opportunities for students. Personnel from SCRHD, LIFEPATH, and COPH developed a formal AHD memorandum of understanding during the summer of 2012, launching the program in fall 2012. The COPH/SCRHD model addresses financial barriers experienced by other AHDs by competitively awarding the Coordinator position to a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) student from the COPH, demonstrating investment in the model by the COPH. The DrPH student gains valuable leadership experience through project management, coordination of the local health council, and day-to-day facilitation of undergraduate and master's student interns. SCRHD benefits from formally trained graduate-level interns dedicated to long-term work within the community. This AHD offers a unique opportunity for doctoral-level students to develop practical leadership skills in a functioning health department, while enhancing the capacity of SCRHD and COPH to serve their community and stakeholders.

Magister Scientiae - MSc (Pharmacy Administration and Policy Regulation)
Technological advancements applied to healthcare may holistically improve the economic burden of prescription medication costs. United States legislative actions requiring utilization of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) will drive provider utilization to decrease healthcare spending. Federal and state e-prescribe requirements have been met with resistance by the prescribing community, due to claims that the requirements create an economic burden for them. This research intends to demonstrate the long-term economic value of electronic prescribing regulations across the healthcare spectrum.
