Download or read book Public Health Ethics Cases Spanning the Globe written by Drue H. Barrett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book highlights the ethical issues and dilemmas that arise in the practice of public health. It is also a tool to support instruction, debate, and dialogue regarding public health ethics. Although the practice of public health has always included consideration of ethical issues, the field of public health ethics as a discipline is a relatively new and emerging area. There are few practical training resources for public health practitioners, especially resources which include discussion of realistic cases which are likely to arise in the practice of public health. This work discusses these issues on a case to case basis and helps create awareness and understanding of the ethics of public health care. The main audience for the casebook is public health practitioners, including front-line workers, field epidemiology trainers and trainees, managers, planners, and decision makers who have an interest in learning about how to integrate ethical analysis into their day to day public health practice. The casebook is also useful to schools of public health and public health students as well as to academic ethicists who can use the book to teach public health ethics and distinguish it from clinical and research ethics.

Book excerpt: The Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance of Canada January 2004 The Cost of Chronic Disease in Canada ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report is based on the template, methodologies, and data sources used in GPI Atlantic's earlier report on the Cost of Chronic Disease in Nova Scotia, and is produced with express permission of GPI Atlantic. [...] According to Health Canada's Economic Burden of Illness in Canada 1993, diabetes accounts for 43.3% of the direct costs of all these endocrine and related disorders.28 According to Katzmarzyk et al., type 2 diabetes constitutes 92.5% of all diabetes cases, and would therefore constitute about 40% of the direct costs of all endocrine and related disorders.29 For the purposes 25 Birmingham, C. Laird [...] When these additional categories and costs of chronic illness are added to the seven diagnostic categories in Table 2, the full costs of chronic diseases to the Canadian health care system are likely to match the estimates of the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which attribute 60% of all health care costs in the U. S. to chronic diseases. [...] A three-year follow-up showed that, while metformin helped reduce the incidence of diabetes compared to the placebo, lifestyle intervention was the most effective method, reducing the incidence of diabetes by 58% compared to 31% for metformin.69 Endocrine and related disease costs as a percentage of the total economic burden of illness range from 2.6% for Newfoundland and Labrador and Manitoba to [...] As a percentage of the total economic burden of illness in each province, chronic respiratory diseases range between 2.3% of total costs in most provinces to 2.5% in Nova Scotia (Figure 12).74 Chronic respiratory illnesses therefore account for about the same proportion of the total economic burden of illness across the country with no distinctive patterns among the different regions.

Download or read book Weight Control and Physical Activity written by Harri Vainio and published by IARC. This book was released on 2002 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avoiding overweight and obesity is the best-established diet-related risk factor for cancer. The proportion of people who are overweight/obese is increasing, and the amount of physical activity is decreasing in most populations, including urban populations in many developing countries. The increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity is presumably due to the increasing availability of highly palatable, high-energy foods, and an increasing sedentary lifestyle due to mechanisation of both workplace and leisure activities. Overweight/obesity and reduced physical activity increases the risk of cancers in various organs. Maintaining a healthy body weight and regular physical activity is the second most important way to prevent cancer, after tobacco control. The suggestions of possible public health actions to tackle these risk factors include the promotion of balanced diets, which are not excessive in energy, and broad education and planning to enable and encourage physical activity during work and leisure. Recommendations and a full discussion of these topics are included in the sixth volume in this series of Handbooks.

[...] To increase the capacity of Aboriginal communities to act as partners in the creation, oversight and application of research to reduce the health disparities among Aboriginal Peoples, the Committee heard that CIHR has developed the "Pathways to Health Equity for Aboriginal Peoples". [...] The project was described as addressing the need to balance compassion and technical expertise in the provision of patient-centred care.39 It also heard that this approach, within a health promotion and disease prevention model, has been proposed by the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada to address the evolving training needs of future medical practitioners in response to the increasin [...] This initiatve will help to remove the stigma of mental illness, to allow seniors to identify symptoms and to help people feel more comfortable about raising the issue with their physicians and ask for help.77 The Committee was told of the Seniors Advisory Committee of the Mental Health Commission of Canada and of its contribution to Commission's Mental Health Strategy, which was subsequently rele.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inequalities in health outcomes in Canada are evident when we look at chronic health conditions, diabetes in particular. Aboriginal communities and lower-income people in Canada are at particularly high risk for developing a range of chronic health conditions including diabetes. Depending on the age group, First Nations adults are two to eight times more likely to have diabetes than Canadians generally, and they also have substantially higher rates of serious complications from diabetes, including kidney failure, foot amputations, heart disease and infectious disease. In this report, the Health Council profiles an initiative in northern Manitoba - the Island Lake Regional Renal Health Program - developed in response to the high rates of kidney failure in a remote First Nations region. And we take a look at the Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Program which, after 12 years of sustained effort, has put the brakes to the persistent increase in new cases of diabetes in that Mohawk First Nation community near Montreal. The connection between health and wealth is also important in understanding how to influence health outcomes. The poorest Canadians are almost three times as likely to have multiple chronic health conditions, including diabetes, as the highest-income Canadians, and the ratio steps down steadily as family income goes up."--Page 12

Download or read book Preventing Chronic Diseases written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2005-09-28 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major causes of premature adult deaths in all regions of the world, due to chronic diseases such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes and cancer, have been generally neglected on the international health and development agenda. Four out of every five chronic disease-related deaths in the world occur in low and middle income countries, where people tend to develop these diseases at a younger age and to die sooner. The death toll is projected to rise by a further 17 per cent in the next 10 years, whilst child obesity rates are increasing worldwide. This report examines the actual scale and severity of the problem using the most recent data available, considers the major risk factors and associated trends, and discusses the public health policy actions required to implement effective integrated chronic disease prevention and control measures.
