The Impact of Climate Change on Human Health The impact of climate and weather on human health are varied and significant. Exposure to health risks linked to changes in climate affect different communities and several people in varying degrees. The effect of climate change is often assessed individually. However, exposure to various threats related to climate change happens simultaneously, leading to cascading or compounding health impacts. Cyberspace is one of the areas that provide a lot of information regarding climate change and its effect on human health. One cyberspace platform that gives an in-depth assessment of the impact of climate change on human health is EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), a U.S. based organization (“EPA”). Even though people have presented different views regarding the reality of climate change, the literature obtained from EPA website offers several pieces of evidence to support the reality of climate change and its impact on human health but lacks ethical standards after the introduction of Trump’s America’s First Energy Plan. EPA presents that with changes in climate, the duration, severity, location, and frequency of climate and…

Health Campaign A health campaign is an important foundation of public health and individual wellbeing. It facilitates communication and widespread awareness among the people. It is also essential in ensuring a good quality of life by promoting good health and advocating for the implementation of disease prevention strategies (Hutchinson & Wheeler, 2006). There is, therefore, a need to utilize evaluation and research techniques to have ensured quality health campaigns most cost-effectively. In developing an evaluation plan for a health campaign, one must ensure that the goals of the program are stated clearly in the plan. For instance, the main objectives of health campaigns are to educate and change the behaviours of people. Besides, an evaluation plan must establish the intended audience because efforts have to be directed to a particular group of people and not to an entire population to ensure that the program is effective (Noar, 2007). Also, assessing one’s budget and resources is important to ensure the availability of enough funds. Another issue that is crucial in developing an evaluation plan for a health campaign is determining the…

An interview with the Healthcare Environmental Service Manager (HESM) Mr. Glen Abstract Following a research conducted by the New York Times magazine in Stouffville Creek Retirement Residence which I spearheaded, I deduced that this particular facility is one of the successful health facilities in the United States. This prompted a scheduled interview with the Healthcare Environmental Services Manager (HESM) from this facility. I was particularly interested in interviewing the HESM because this facility not only succeeds in most of its operations but also attractive in nature. Question aligned to provide these answers were carefully selected with regards to patient’s profile, responsibilities of the HESM, the rationale for providing good services, average day and the challenges faced in this position. The interviewee provided adequate answers to these questions to accomplish a successful interview. The interview is divided into two parts; A and B. Part A The answer I get from Glen Parsons is that his customer’s profile at Stouffville Creek Retirement Residence composes of customers of age 70 plus. More than 80% of the customers are women who emanate from different…

Annotated Bibliography on the depression Affecting Mental Health National Institute of Mental Health. (2017). Men and Depression. Retrieved from https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/men-and-depression/index.shtml This article discusses the issue of depression in relation to men. The article asserts that there is a marked difference in how depression manifest in men from how it does in women. It also describes the signs of depression in men which include anger and disinterest in family and work. Additionally, the author elaborates some of the things that men who are depressed do to cope with the condition, such as abusing drugs. Moreover, the author explains the different types of depression, e.g., psychotic depression and seasonal effective disorder. Finally, he outlines the causes of depression in men which include genetic factors and illness. I think that the difference that the author establishes between depression in men and women is important because members of the two genders respond to the condition quite differently.

Most of these violations occur in countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India, who have majored in clothing production. Therefore, the paper exhumes the challenges faced by workers in garment industries, the responsible authority for reducing the risks, and intervention measures to overcome the difficulties.   Akhter, S., Rutherford, S., & Chu, C.

Should hospital emergency departments be used to treat mental health patients? Introduction Over the last 50 years, the treatment of mental illness has gone through a paradigm shift. The treatment has shifted from primary-based care to community-based care. The number of psychiatrists in the country has fallen, and the facilities for treating mentally ill patients are unavailable. This has led to increased use of emergency rooms to treat various mental health conditions such as substance use disorders, schizophrenia-induced psychosis, anxiety-induced panic attacks, and personality disorders. From a report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality released in 2017, the number of individuals visiting hospitals due to substance use and mental health issues increased by 44 percent from 2006 to 2014 (Scutti, 2019). This has led to the overcrowding of the emergency department in hospitals, and it has increased the amount of time patients will spend at the hospital. There is also a shortage of beds in the emergency department. Therefore, hospital emergency departments should not be used to treat mental health patients because of the congestion caused, shortage of beds,…

The report only focused on the newly published literature, mainly focusing on the population and public health basing on an informatics theme. The articles not found in PubMed or not written in English were not included. The piece without abstracts, keywords, and citations added manually. Therefore, they cannot be…
