Population health interest: Access to health care

The United States is one of the few major industrialized democracies that does not regard healthcare as a right. 55.3% of the U.S. population is covered by employer-provided insurance vs. The 14% covered by Medicare (the federal government-sponsored program for the elderly) and the 15.9% covered by Medicaid (the state government-sponsored program for the poor). Some individuals are covered by a combination of different types of insurances. "Among the non-elderly, 18.4% of individuals were uninsured in 2010" (Overview of the uninsured in the United States, 2011, ASPE). Because of the recently-passed Affordable Care Act, (ACA) "18- to 24-year-olds were the only age group to experience a significant…...

There are biological considerations as well, and men' bodies often give out faster.
Birth rates and death rates are only loosely correlated. The drivers for each are different, so the numbers can at times have significant divergence. For example, Albania reports a death rate of 5.7 but a birthrate of 24.7. Both of these figures our outliers for the Eastern Europe group, giving Albania a very large spread compared with the other nations, and figures more akin to a developing nation.

There is a much stronger correlation between both birth rates and death rates and GNP. Nations with a low GNP tend to have higher figures for both birth and death rates. Those with a high GNP will tend to have lower birth and death rates. GNP contributes to death rates in a couple of ways. One is that wealthier nations tend to have better access to health care and clean…...

Population Crisis & Birth Control
The objective of Ehrlich is to prove that the developed countries have a relatively moderate growth in the increase of population, but they use a lot of the natural resources that are available there and thus cause problems of pollution. (Too Many People) While this is true to some extent, there are other accompanying problems and that is the feeling of being that one is has mastery control of all being surveyed. This happens to all countries which happen to feel that they are the source of development and guidance for all the nations and people of the world. Such a role was being enacted by the British till the Second World War when they used to say that the Sun would never set over the British Empire.

The Americans never felt this about themselves till the Second World War. Subsequently they became the leaders of the…...

As you can see throughout the decades, more and more resources are available for Texans, who reside in North Texas. The strength of these resources is there are numerous resources available, the downside is where to you start, and how do you know what organization is good, and which one is not good . Are there enough resources to accommodate everyone in North Texas, and is there a language barrier with more Latinos crossing the border into to Texas, this is what North Texas is working how, so they can help every individual who research out for help, guidance, jobs, schools, communities to live in, farming, export, and importing goods, etc. .

Population Groups Served
This services target persons in Anchorage Municipality who are home based and suffer from Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders as well as individuals above 60 years of age who suffer from physical or cognitive disability. The services target mainly those who are at risk of institutional placement giving highest priority to those with the greatest socioeconomic need especially low-income minority.

Seventy percent of the clients covered by this program are persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders at various locations in Anchorage Municipality. Their ages vary between 60 to 90 years. These individuals receive round the clock care giving; the caregivers help them live comfortably with their medical conditions. This makes in home service acceptable since all the support they already have is solidified and they can still reside in their homes while enjoying the provided benefits with increased satisfaction.

Therefore, developing a set of measurable population health objectives will aid in the establishment of clear priorities and objectives. Once those priorities are set, the team of healthcare professionals can begin the task of implementing the programs that will achieve the healthcare goals. Without effective prioritizing, funding can too easily be wasted, resources squandered on poor organization. A well-organized team is one that is highly effective and cost-effective too. Limited funding for population health programs constrains the ability for policy makers to be too open-ended about their programs and interventions.
Setting priorities and developing collaborative partnerships go hand-in-hand to promote population health goals. For example, when the immediate goal is to make access to gynecological care more accessible for illiterate women in Ethiopia, policy makers first outline the plan for designing the infrastructure including transportation services for village residents. Then, members of the team work with the heads of pharmaceutical…...

ecidivism data typically comes from a record review and record follow-up with the probation officer of the clients. More long-term data can also be implemented in the form of clinical interviews for clients who have successfully completed their probationary periods. Probation officers are good sources of information regarding recidivism and also regarding any potential relapses and substance abuse or psychiatric issues. Variables in the analysis are typically compared to similar offenders in a treatment as usual group (e.g., Leon et al., 2000). Outcome variables of interest are alcohol or drug use, crime, HIV risk behavior, psychological symptoms, and employment status (Grella, & Shi, 2011). These variables can be operationalized such that they can be comparable both within and between groups. Within groups comparisons can look at pre/post measures of substance abuse, psychological symptoms, and employment status. Between groups measures can look at all of these…...

But these alternatives are sometimes frowned upon and seen as equal to adultery (Thomlinson, 1976).

Population Services International (PSI) is a non-profit organization with the declared goal and mission of controlling the population growth in poorer countries through the implementation of specific birth control and family planning programs. One of the countries they have approached ever since 1976 was Bangladesh.
The setting was propitious: Bangladesh was having one of the fastest growing populations in the world and was at the same time, one of the poorest countries, with limited resources and economic possibilities.

PSI introduced two birth control products into the country: condoms and contraceptive pills. The former were called Raja and had properly adapted to the specific economic environment of Bangladesh. The Raja condoms had benefited from a good choice of name, as Raja meant king and this had a double significance: it was associated with strength and potency and was easy to understand by relating it to the card figure (in a country with an…...

Population: odent Infestation and Air Pollution

The patient population at focus in this study is the homeless population. amesh (2014) reports that formerly homeless people are "increasingly trapped in homes riddled with damp and infested rodents" and that those who were previously homeless were "housed in shocking conditions often at the mercy of unresponsive and at times aggressive landlords who threatened eviction if tenants complained." (amesh, 2014, p. 1) The most commonly mentioned problems were "damp and mold" as well as "rodent and inset infestations."

Hispanic-American Population Assessment
POCKETS OF MISERY

The Hispanic-Americans of Santa Ana, California are the population to be assessed.

National Demographics

The total U.S. population is 312 million, according to the latest U.S. Census ureau report. Almost 50 million of these are Hispanic-Americans. Nationwide, 10% of them are in fair or poor health (NCHS, 2011). The death rate for this population is 297.8 per 100,000 people. Their leading causes of death are heart disease, cancer, unintentional injuries and infant deaths at 5.51 per 1,000 live births. And 33% of Hispanic-Americans 65 years and older has no health insurance coverage (NCHS).

The psychiatric or mental health needs of this growing ethnic majority have yet to be covered adequately (Lopez & Carrillo, 2001). Hispanic-Americans or Latinos greatly differ from the general U.S. population in physical and mental health indicators. Non-Hispanic medical and mental health professionals need to understand these differences better in order to provide much-needed services (Lopez…...

Population
The accessibility and affordability of medical care is significantly promoted and influenced by health insurance since it protects against risks of costly and unexpected medical events. However, many underinsured Americans i.e. both the uninsured and those with inadequate health coverage experience difficulties in acquiring and paying for care services. Consequently, the plight of this population has become a major aspect for the national health care reform throughout the country. Despite of the importance of health insurance, the number of the underinsured population has continued to increase because of the in-affordability of health coverage. Actually, this population is described as people with certain forms of health insurance who lack the financial protection that is required to cater for out-of-pocket health care expenditures.

Demographics of the Uninsured Population:

The number of people with some form of medical care coverage that does not adequately prevent them from high expenses in health care services has…...

Population Density
There are a number of ways by which people are affected tremendously by population density and noise. When people contravene other people's privacy, personal space and territory with chronic noise, it may have an effect in a variety of ways ranging from mere frustration to harsh interfering depression-causing infirmities (Straub, 2007). With the increase in population, the three mentioned elements i.e. personal space, privacy and territorial confidentiality of people are encroached. This may require demand recognition of housings for the prevention of the psychosomatic consequences of population mass. Such circumstances also necessitate the prevention of hostility, fretfulness, and annoyance. In order to understand the effects of population density and noise on the individual, it is exceedingly important to first understand the three concepts of personal space, privacy and territoriality, privacy, and personal space.

As far as the notion of privacy is concerned, it is a right of every individual.…...

Homeless affects a community in a number of ways, including social, economic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Socially, there is a stigma associated with homelessness that implies the person is mentally ill, a drug addict, or an alcoholic. While a number of the homeless population do fall into one of these categories, there are other reasons for homelessness. It is also hard on the economy, because these people don't contribute financially to society. There is a cost to feeding them and allowing them shelter, and that cost can be a lot for a community to handle. Homeless people struggle in interpersonal and....
