Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medications are an important component of health care, but each year their misuse results in over a million adverse drug events that lead to office and emergency room visits as well as hospitalizations and, in some cases, death. As a patient's most tangible source of information about what drug has been prescribed and how that drug is to be taken, the label on a container of prescription medication is a crucial line of defense against such medication safety problems, yet almost half of all patients misunderstand label instructions about how to take their medicines. Standardizing Medication Labels: Confusing Patients Less is the summary of a workshop, held in Washington, D.C. on October 12, 2007, that was organized to examine what is known about how medication container labeling affects patient safety and to discuss approaches to addressing identified problems.
Download or read book Public Health Nutrition written by Mark Lawrence and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground breaking text in the developing field of public health nutrition.' from the foreword by Basil S. Hetzel At last! A book that approaches public health nutrition in a scholarly, scientific and evidence based manner that at the same time delivers the practical competencies and skills required by the professional Public Health Nutritionist.' Elizabeth Belton, Senior Lecturer, School of Life Sciences, The Robert Gordon University. How can the nutritional health of populations be improved through action at local, national and global levels? The work of public health nutritionists is to bring population-wide perspectives to the relationship between food and health. Systematically drawing on international research, in Public Health Nutrition leading international practitioners present both the theoretical underpinnings and applied nature of the field of public health nutrition. The book is peer reviewed and divided into four sections: * Principles - presents conceptual frameworks, solutions, responsibilities and outcome measures, philosophical and evidential dimensions, standards and dietary guidelines. * Populations - explores groups for whom nutrition is especially relevant, providing analysis of the food and health relationship from physiological, social, cultural, political and economic perspectives. * Priorities - examines key issues including vulnerable populations, obesity, indigenous nutrition, international nutrition, the nutritional transition, food system trends and sustainability. * Practices - covers professional skills for public health practitioners including monitoring the food and nutrition situation of populations, physical activity, research skills, project management, professional practice, health promotion and communication, policy and politics. Public Health Nutrition is an essential resource for public health practitioners, researchers and administrators, as well as students of nutrition, dietetics and public health wishing to obtain advanced and specialised competencies.
Download or read book Health Literacy written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, the Institute of Medicine released Health Literacy: A Prescription to End Confusion, a report on the then-underappreciated challenge of enabling patients to comprehend their condition and treatment, to make the best decisions for their care, and to take the right medications at the right time in the intended dose. That report documented the problems, origins, and consequences of the fact that tens of millions of U.S. adults are unable to read complex texts, including many health-related materials, and it proposed possible solutions to those problems. To commemorate the anniversary of the release of the 2004 health literacy report, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Health Literacy convened a 1-day public workshop to assess the progress made in the field of health literacy over the past decade, the current state of the field, and the future of health literacy at the local, national, and international levels. Health Literacy: Past, Present, and Future summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop.
Download or read book Optimizing Otc Labels for Older Adults written by Alyssa Lee Harben and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the many benefits of Over-the-Counter drugs for older consumers, there are risks that accompany their use, with as many as 15% of older OTC medication users being at risk of a serious Adverse Drug Reaction. As such, there is a responsibility to develop packaging that provides the essential function of facilitating cost-effective patient care by communicating critical information at the point of purchase. Optimally designed labels garner attention to critical information regardless of whether the consumer is engaged in bottom-up processing (a habitual purchase) or top-down processing (deliberative search for specific information).We objectively assessed four label designs to investigate the effect of highlighting critical information (defined as warnings associated with drug/drug or drug diagnosis interactions and the active ingredient within a product) and placement of the same on the front of the package (FOP label treatment). Highlighting and FOP were crossed for a total of four designs (highlight (HL) with FOP, HL without FOP, No HL (nonHL) with FOP, nonHL without FOP(current, standard practice)). These treatments were utilized to evaluate how design attributes attract attention to critical information and promote decision-making in older adults (65+) when accessing that information was and was not the participant's goal. Three studies were conducted in support of these goals. First, a change detection task, investigating the efficacy of each design strategy's ability to garner attention to critical information; dependent variables were both binary (correctly located yes/no) and continuous (time to correct identification). The final 2 studies investigated design performance from a top-down processing frame using an absolute judgement task and a dichotomous decision, forced-choice task. Dependent variables for each of the final two experiments were accuracy and response time (reported in units of log10ms).Overall, the results support the novel combination proposed (HL/FOP) as a strategy for communicating critical information. Change detection results support the use of HL, particularly for active ingredient information appearing on the Principal Display Panel, as indicated by a significant interaction between HL and change location for both accuracy and reaction time. In the absolute judgment task, accuracy in drug warning trials increased in the presence of HL (nonHL ME=0.738, SE=0.019 vs HL ME=0.777, SE=0.018; p=0.04), and the presence of an FOP helped garner attention to active ingredient information, evidenced by both FOP treatments (FOP/HL ME=0.910, SE=0.019, vs FOP/nonHL ME=0.908, SE=0.019) being significantly more accurate than the no FOP, nonHL treatment (ME=0.878, SE=0.023; p=0.01). There was also evidence for the efficacy of HL with significantly faster FOP/HL responses (ME=3.902, SE=0.026) than no FOP/nonHL responses (ME=3.944, SE=0.026; p=0.003). Forced choice results also suggest HL increases accuracy and decreases reaction time, evidenced by a significant main effect of HL on accuracy for drug warning trials (nonHL ME=0.952, SE=0.010 vs HL ME=0.974, SD=0.007; p=0.013), and compared to no FOP/nonHL, significantly faster reaction times induced for no FOP/HL treatment in active ingredient trials (no FOP/HL ME=3.670, SE=0.025 vs no FOP/nonHL ME=3.718, SE=0.025) and for both types of HL treatments for drug warning information trials (FOP/HL ME=4.276, SE=0.022; no FOP/HL ME=4.291, SE=0.023 vs no FOP/nonHL ME=4.392 SE=0.023). Results of a secondary analysis investigating familiarity with brand names and active ingredients indicate that participants were significantly more familiar with the brand names (M=7.5, SD=2.52) than the active ingredients (M=3.4, SD=2.54; p

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
