Download or read book The Dynamics of Socio Economic Development written by Adam Szirmai and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-20 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are poor countries poor and rich countries rich? How are wealth and poverty related to changes in nutrition, health, life expectancy, education, population growth and politics? This modern, non-technical 2005 introduction to development studies explores the dynamics of socio-economic development and stagnation in developing countries. Taking a quantitative and comparative approach to contemporary debates within their broader context, Szirmai examines historical, institutional, demographic, sociological, political and cultural factors. Key chapters focus on economic growth, technological change, industrialisation, agricultural development, and consider social dimensions such as population growth, health and education. Each chapter contains comparative statistics on trends from a sample of twenty-nine developing countries. This rich statistical database allows students to strengthen their understanding of comparative development experiences. Assuming no prior knowledge of economics the book is suited for use in inter-disciplinary development studies programmes as well as economics courses, and will also interest practitioners pursuing careers in developing countries.
Download or read book The underlying dynamics of health care systems in developing countries Health policy planning and the Impact of Social Economic Status SES on Health Disparities written by Mukasa Aziz Hawards and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of health policy and planning are tremendous remedies through which the health care systems derive their primary potentials in the health promotion ventures and interventions. The programs designed in the health arena are tentatively equivocal and submissive to the implications influenced by the policy development criteria and much more open to the planning process. Every day, healthcare organizations are faced with crucial decisions about improving their systems of care and a lack of critical information to guide them. The research they need should be designed to help them provide better care to the patients in their organization, effectively and efficiently. Where does the Medicaid and the medical care strategies, as pursued in the United States of America, have their remedies through policy structure and together with the political culture associated to the system, or perhaps how possible is it that japan has the highest life expectancy co-efficient. The book is more of a fact file as results were generated by the health care research from suitable sectors and comparisons derived from the well-off health care states mainly from the OECD fraternity, as these bare differences due to policy even when their economic bases differ by small percentages. This work should be helpful in directing and providing us with traceable landmarks to follow while seeking to avert the challenges that weaponize the communicable disease prevalence in the society for both the developed and the low developed states.

Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Book excerpt: Health education plays a pivotal role in promoting individual and community well-being. It encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at improving health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. As the landscape of health challenges evolves, so too must the strategies and methods we employ to educate and empower people to take control of their health. This book, "Health Education: Foundations, Strategies, and Innovations," is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the field of health education. It is intended for a diverse audience, including educators, students, healthcare professionals, community organizers, policymakers, and anyone interested in health promotion and disease prevention. Our aim is to equip readers with the theoretical foundations, practical skills, and innovative approaches needed to design, implement, and evaluate effective health education programs. The content of this book is organized into twelve chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of health education. We begin with an introduction to the field, its importance, and its historical development. Subsequent chapters delve into the theoretical underpinnings of health education, the steps involved in planning and implementing programs, and the unique considerations for different populations and settings. Special attention is given to contemporary challenges and opportunities in health education, such as the integration of technology, the role of health communication, and global health initiatives. Ethical considerations and professional standards are also discussed to ensure that health education practices are conducted with integrity and respect for all individuals. Throughout the book, we have included case studies and practical applications to illustrate key concepts and provide real-world examples of successful health education initiatives. These examples serve to inspire and guide readers in their efforts to make a meaningful impact in their communities. The field of health education is dynamic and continually evolving. As new research emerges and societal needs change, health educators must remain adaptable and innovative. This book not only presents current knowledge and practices but also encourages readers to think critically and creatively about the future of health education.
