BY DAY 7 OF WEEK 7

Week 5: Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy

When solution-focused and cognitive behavioral family therapy proved effective with individuals, therapists began applying these approaches to families. However, it quickly became evident that the translation of these approaches from individuals to families was more difficult than expected. Consider how you can successfully apply these therapies to your client families. Is one approach more effective than the other? What are the challenges of using these therapeutic approaches with families?

This week, as you continue exploring therapeutic approaches and their appropriateness for client families, you examine solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. You also develop diagnoses for clients receiving psychotherapy and consider legal and ethical implications of counseling these clients.

Key health Determinants

Discussion: Key Health Determinants

Did you know that the United States has a higher rate of infant mortality than Japan (CIA, n.d.)? Or, as Dr. Beilenson states in this week’s media presentation, that “your zip code that you live in makes more difference in your health and well-being than the genetic code that you’re born with?” What causes these differences in health outcomes?

To effectively develop policies and programs to improve population health, it is useful to use a framework to guide the process. Different organizations and governmental agencies (for example, Healthy People 2020) have created a variety of such frameworks, which establish measures for assessing population health. These measures frequently are derived from the examination of epidemiologic data, which include key measures of population health such as mortality, morbidity, life expectancy, etc. Within each measure are a variety of progress indicators that use epidemiologic data to assess improvement or change.

For this Discussion, you will apply a framework developed by Kindig, Asada, and Booske (2008) to a population health issue of interest to you. This framework includes five key health determinants that should be considered when developing policies and programs to improve population health: access to health care, individual behavior, social environment, physical environment, and genetics.

To prepare:

  • Review the article “A Population Health Framework for Setting National and State Health Goals,” focusing on population health determinants.
  • Review the information in the blog post “What Is Population Health?”
  • With this information in mind, elect a population health issue that is of interest to you.
  • Using this week’s Learning Resources, the Walden Library, and other relevant resources, conduct a search to locate current data on your population health issue.
  • Consider how epidemiologic data has been used to design population health measures and policy initiatives in addressing this issue.

By Day 3

Post a summary of how the five population health determinants (access to health care, individual behavior, social environment, physical environment, and genetics) affect your selected health issue, and which determinants you think are most impactful for that particular issue and why. Explain how epidemiologic data supports the significance of your issue, and explain how this data has been used in designing population health measures and policy initiatives.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ resp

human uses of the environment discussion

PLEASE WRITE THIS IN A PARAGRAPH OR SO. NO IN-TEXT CITATIONS, THIS IS OPINION BASED.

This week you were introduced to environmental science. With some of your background knowledge, and what you have learned from your readings, consider the following statement:

The world will never run out of resources because we can use technology to find substitutes; this will help us reduce resource waste.

Do you agree with this statement? Explain your position.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I NEED FOR THIS DISCUSSION:

Yes, we will eventually run out of resources if we do not take steps to restock the earth and or use alternate resources. The earth only has some much oil that we can harvest. Automobiles and engines use oil, if we do not strive to create cars or engines for that matter that can run on something other than oil then we will be forced to when there is no more oil. Finding ways or substitutes is the key as far as oil is concerned; not so much with food. We eat GMO foods that we have been lead to believe are good because they can be used to create new foods and or help crops grow. I believe we are robbing Peter to pay Paul. Causing diseases that kill people and causes birth defects in the name of producing more.

What’s the best response to this scen using the 10-step decision making process?, health and medical assignment help

Using the ten-step decision-making process put forth in Cottrell et al (2015) chapter 5, write your response (no less than 500 words) to the following scenario. Include in your response a paragraph for each of the ten components. Your ten paragraphs should state your course of action. 

Scenario

You have been hired to work for the city health department to complete a project that was begun by your predecessor and funded with money from the National Institute of Health (NIH). The grant requires the health department to develop six programs on the topic of hepatitis and then to present these programs to 500 people representing very specific priority groups in the community.

After being hired, you discover that the administrator of the grant, your supervisor, has not adhered to the grant guidelines. Only half the numbers of programs have been developed as the grant required. Further, the number of presentations is less than required, and presentations have been given to people not in the identified priority groups. In addition, your supervisor has taken some of the travel funds allocated to pay for your travel to and from presentations and has diverted them into his personal travel fund to attend a national conference in Las Vegas.

It is now time for you to develop your year-end report, which will be sent directly to NIH. Your supervisor has provided you with a copy of the original grant proposal and says to make sure your figures agree with those in the proposal. In other words, he expects you to “fudge” the data. What will you do?

Discussion Responses When humans ventured out of Africa over 60,000 years ago

When humans ventured out of Africa over 60,000 years ago they left genetic footprints that are still visible today. When living things die, their DNA stays with them and does not disappear immediately, which allows it to degrade over time. When it comes to learning the DNA of our ancestors it can still be found on fossils or even their skeleton remains. By finding their DNA it would have to be broken down into small pieces for modern sequencing technology. When living things die, their DNA doesn’t disappear immediately; it slowly degrades over time. This means that the DNA of long dead people can still be found in fossils and skeletons, but it will be have been broken down into small pieces, perfect for modern sequencing technologies. (2017) The Conversation.com

By measuring our genetics and comparing our DNA sequence to a chimp , our closest great ape relative on an average we find at least 20 spelling differences every 1000 letters, see the images below
