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.
Download or read book Human Rights written by Arthur V. Carrington and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the consternation of the haves, some humans continue to insist that they are entitled to live as humans. While it is perhaps a question of philosophy what constitutes a human right, it is more clear what constitutes an abuse of human rights. The world has never been short on abusers and is surely not now. Only the names and faces have changed over time. The powerful tend to be the abusers and the weak the abused. Being aware of the abuses can at least focus light on them and perhaps serve as a proactive response. This bibliography presents hundreds of citations of human right violations under the categories: Basic Human Rights; North America; Latin America; Europe; Asia; Middle East and Africa. Access is provided via Title, Author and Subject Indexes.

Download or read book Ethnic sensitive Social Work Practice written by Wynetta Devore and published by Addison-Wesley Longman. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the most well-known and respected texts on ethnic-sensitive social work practice, diversity practice, or practice with minorities. It can also be used as a supplement in social work practice courses at either the undergraduate or graduate levels. The text covers practice not only with minority groups but with other ethnic groups as well; it includes a chapter on practice with refugees and immigrants (Ch. 10). Ethnic-Sensitive Social Work Practice takes a generalist perspective, with coverage of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. It also covers many approaches to practice, including empowerment and strengths perspectives, psychosocial perspectives, problem-solving and task-centered, as well as structural approaches. This text was one of the first written in response to CSWE's mandate for coverage of ethnicity within the social work practice sequence (in 1981), and it has since led the way in exploring issues of ethnic sensitivity in practice. The new edition includes coverage of a developing "new ethnicity" in America, with the emergence of a new population with multiracial backgrounds. The impact of welfare reform on ethnic communities is covered in Chapters 1, 8 (Direct Practice) and 9 (Macro Practice), 12 (Practice in the Public Sector), and 13 (Managed Care and Ethnicity).
