Book Prepare Today Survive Tomorrow

Download or read book Prepare Today Survive Tomorrow written by LG Wellington and published by Blue Star Books. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will introduce you to a wealth of information on emergency preparation, and will provide your family or organization with important strategies, insights, tips, guidelines, and lists on how to prepare for a disaster. Survival planning is nothing more than realizing a disaster could happen that would put everyone in a survival situation and, with that in mind, taking steps to increase your chances of survival. Although helping others is certainly meaningful, worthwhile, and in some cases, necessary, the main emphasis of all household or organization team members should be to purchase, gather, and store resources and supplies for your own team members. Everyone must be encouraged and expected to provide for themselves. We have been encouraged through religious, education, scientific, and government media to prepare for these future events.

Book Transportation Distance and Health Care Utilization for Older Adults in Rural and Small Urban Areas

Download or read book Transportation Distance and Health Care Utilization for Older Adults in Rural and Small Urban Areas written by Jeremy Wade Mattson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation is a vital issue for access to health care, especially in rural areas where travel distances are great and access to alternative modes such as transit is less prevalent. This study estimates the impacts of transportation and geography on utilization of health care services for older adults in rural and small urban areas. Using data collected from a survey, a model was developed based on the Health Behavior Model that considered transportation and distance as factors that could enable or impede health care utilization. A random sample of individuals aged 60 or older living in the rural Upper Great Plains states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming was surveyed by mail. With a response rate of 20%, responses were received from 543 individuals. An ordered probit model was used to estimate trip frequency, and a binary probit model was used to estimate the likelihood that an individual would miss or delay a health care trip. Distance and transportation variables were not found to significantly influence the total number of routine or chronic care trips made overall, while emergency care visits were impacted by transportation options. However, additional results showed that those who cannot drive make more trips if someone else in the household can drive; distance and access to transportation impact the likelihood that someone will miss or delay a trip; and difficulty reported in making trips is significantly affected by distance and transportation options. The greatest problems for people using public transportation for health care trips is inconvenient schedules, the need to match transit and medical schedules, and infrequent service.

Book Rural Families and Reshaping Human Services

Download or read book Rural Families and Reshaping Human Services written by Jeanne Cook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents creative strategies and programs designed to address needs of families in the context of rural communities. Even before the most recent worldwide economic crisis, many rural families in the United States struggled to meet basic needs. As needs in rural communities have expanded, services have shrunk. This book identifies rural families’ needs, including social supports during pregnancy, identification of adolescent risk behaviours, child safety, and basic services such as food and health care, using techniques such as Geographic Information Systems and needs and asset assessments. Strategies to address those needs include program development, the use of technology, and community partnerships. The book reminds readers of the sense of independence and self-reliance found in many rural communities and the theme of diversity within rural communities runs throughout the book. The chapters are organized by identification of the needs of rural families, addressing disparities in rural areas, practice in rural communities, and human service organizations and professionals. Through research, practice, and creative works, the book contributes to a greater understanding of ways that service providers can advance their work with rural families and broaden their perspectives about realities experienced by families living in rural communities. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Family Social Work.
