Download or read book Guardianship written by Winsor C. Schmidt and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately half a million people are under guardianship in the United States. Guardianship is intended as a last resort, but this court of last resort is an institutional fiefdom that has historically received little scrutiny. As the national population ages and the lifespan increases, more people are potentially subject to being adjudicated incompetent in court and having a guardian appointed as a surrogate decisionmaker. This book informs health, social service, and legal professionals, as well as judges and legislators about the findings, analyses, conclusions, and implications from over a decade of national and state research on guardianship and protective services for the elderly and disabled, directed by one of the nation's leading experts on guardianship. The book begins with an overview case study of guardianship and the need for reform from the state that represents America's demographic future, Florida. Exploration of the extent of unmet need for guardian services follows. Findings from a national study of public guardianship and the elderly are detailed. The actual functioning of guardianship court is reported by addressing several questions. What happens to people in the court of last resort? What is known and what is not known about guardianship? What happens beyond the court of last resort in the even more hidden area of involuntary adult protective services? The conclusion consists of a model public guardianship statute and commentary that is a product of the research on guardianship. The statute is designed to provide a framework for much-needed reform of the court of last resort.

Download or read book The Hidden Epidemic written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-03-28 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has the dubious distinction of leading the industrialized world in overall rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), with 12 million new cases annually. About 3 million teenagers contract an STD each year, and many will have long-term health problems as a result. Women and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to these diseases and their health consequences. In addition, STDs increase the risk of HIV transmission. The Hidden Epidemic examines the scope of sexually transmitted infections in the United States and provides a critical assessment of the nation's response to this public health crisis. The book identifies the components of an effective national STD prevention and control strategy and provides direction for an appropriate response to the epidemic. Recommendations for improving public awareness and education, reaching women and adolescents, integrating public health programs, training health care professionals, modifying messages from the mass media, and supporting future research are included. The book documents the epidemiological dimensions and the economic and social costs of STDs, describing them as "a secret epidemic" with tremendous consequences. The committee frankly discusses the confusing and often hypocritical nature of how Americans deal with issues regarding sexualityâ€"the conflicting messages conveyed in the mass media, the reluctance to promote condom use, the controversy over sex education for teenagers, and the issue of personal blame. The Hidden Epidemic identifies key elements of effective, culturally appropriate programs to promote healthy behavior by adolescents and adults. It examines the problem of fragmentation in STD services and provides examples of communities that have formed partnerships between stakeholders to develop integrated approaches. The committee's recommendations provide a practical foundation on which to build an integrated national program to help young people and adults develop habits of healthy sexuality. The Hidden Epidemic was written for both health care professionals and people without a medical background and will be indispensable to anyone concerned about preventing and controlling STDs.
