Rosso, Stefano. "Preventive practices of general practitioners in Torino, Italy." Thesis, McGill University, 1989. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=59292.
Full textThe first paper presents estimates of preventive practices and perceived effectiveness of preventive interventions. Patterns of practice were found to be consistently similar to those in other studies.
The second and third papers explore an array of determinants for ten primary and secondary preventive interventions.
An analysis of determinants indicates that complex patterns of behaviours are rather condition-specific, while the application of techniques is influenced to a varying extent by organizational and attitudinal factors.

Full textThe Gauteng province is divided into 5 districts each of which have a public based oral health programme. Each district provides oral health treatments such as dental extractions with treatment of pain and sepsis, preventive dentistry, simple restorations, removable prosthodontics (complete and partial dentures) and minor oral surgery in selected facilities. The main treatment modality in most government based dental clinics is dental extractions (Department of Health, 2003). This indicates the poor status of the population’s teeth. Dental caries is a condition that can be prevented if adequate efforts are made to practice preventive dentistry. Preventive dentistry has been a treatment modality that has been practiced poorly or almost completely ignored in several oral health facilities for many years. This neglect could be due to several factors such as in adequate knowledge regarding preventive dentistry procedures, poor attitude towards preventive dentistry, lack of motivation, or lack of resources (Clark, 2011). The purpose of this study is to determine why preventive dentistry has been neglected for so many years.

It will be almost impossible to find a household or an informed consumer, completely oblivious to the health risks posed by foods. According to scientific estimates, 48 million cases of foodborne illness occur each year in the United States, causing 128,000 hospitalizations, 3,000 deaths, which costs $6.4-$77.7 billion in expenses by medical care and lost productivity. These illnesses pose a very big constant, perhaps growing, threat to a vast population. Salmonella is the most prevalent foodborne bacteria with more than 1.1 million cases annually in the United States. Increased international trade and distribution, rapid growth in antibiotic resistant bacteria, increase in the number of immunocompromised consumers and changes in agronomic and processing practices poses a very big challenge to monitor, contain and avoid foodborne outbreaks. This can result in contaminated food causing rapid, geographically widespread outbreak. In the wake of numerous recent foodborne illness outbreaks, this report focuses on current safety practices established by research and available to all the consumers. It studies a significant foodborne bacterium (Salmonella), its nature, significance, prevalence, mechanism of action, health risks and preventive safety measures. General food safety practices, to reduce or eliminate the risk, common to all the foodborne bacteria and specially Salmonella, include avoiding cross-contamination, thoroughly cooking foods to right lengths of time and temperature, washing fresh produce and fruits prior to consumption and storing foods at the right temperatures. Strict regulations in safe production, safe processing and consumer awareness is highly recommended. People participation is a must.

Full textMethod: Data were collected in telephone interviews with persons most knowledgeable about CDP programming in 77 "resource" organizations that develop and transfer CDP innovations to other organizations, and 216 "user" organizations that adopt and deliver CDP programs in specific populations. Reliable measures of the constructs of interest were developed using principal components analyses. Levels of OC, its potential determinants, and involvement in CDP programming were compared across three types of organizations and across Canada. In addition, levels of 13 dissemination-related practices were compared across organizations and independent correlates of dissemination were identified in multiple linear regression.
Results: Levels of skill and involvement were highest for tobacco control and healthy eating programming; lowest for stress management, social determinants of health, and program evaluation. Any notable differences in skill levels favoured central Canada. Resource adequacy was low overall; lowest in eastern Canada and within formal public health organizations. Supports for OC were highest in central Canada and in grouped organizations. Dissemination practices most heavily engaged in included: Identification of barriers to adoption/implementation of the innovation, tailoring dissemination strategies and design of dissemination plan. There was little coherence across organizations in the number or types of dissemination practices engaged in. Skill at planning/implementing dissemination, external sources of funding, type of resource organization, attitude toward the process of collaboration, and user-centeredness were all positively associated with dissemination (R2=0,42; F value 8.20, p<0.0001).
Conclusions: These results provide a backbone for organizational research in public health systems. Strengths and gaps identified in OC and dissemination practices will guide strategic investment in the public health system.
