forensic psychology in the legal world The advent of forensic psychology in the legal world is changing the criminal justice system at an astounding pace. The criminal justice system has undergone various changes in recent years, which are not limited to juvenile codes, probation, sentencing statutes, and parole policies. The transformations in the legal conduct are made with the laudable aim of avoiding incarceration of mentally ill individuals or people with alcohol and addiction problems. Over the years, we have seen a rise in treatment courts, specialty courts and family courts, which require the assistance of forensic psychologists. A recent impact of psychology in the legal system was the supreme court decision on Madison v Alabama. Madison v Alabama was a case touching on the eighth amendment rights argued before the supreme court of the USA from October of 2018. The eighth amendment was adopted as part of the bill of rights and prohibited the state from imposing excessive bail or fines, cruel and unusual punishment. The supreme court was tasked with the mandate of determining whether the state still…
Should Doctors Advice Patients to Switch to E-cigarettes? Introduction Electronic cigarettes (henceforth referred to as e-cigarettes or e-cigars) have been proposed and supported by ethicists, healthcare experts, policymakers, social workers, and the public in general as effective remedies to combat traditional cigarette smoking and its associated health and social problems. Health experts cite the health benefits of non-combustible e-cigarettes in eliminating toxins associated with the combustion of traditional cigarettes. Similarly, utilitarian ethicists cite e-cigarettes benefits in cutting down healthcare costs associated with the multitude of health and social problems associated with traditional cigarette smoking. Some policymakers and general public concur with utilitarian ethicists in supporting e-cigarette as a feasible means of plugging healthcare budget deficit (Fairchild et al. 216). Despite realist benefits of e-cigarette in mitigating health and social problems associated with cigarette smoking and in control of healthcare budget deficits, evidence-based research and randomly controlled trials reveal similar cytotoxicity threat of e-cigarettes to human health as that posed by traditional cigarette smoking. In particular, random controlled studies of e-cigarette smokers’ vis-à-vis traditional cigarette smokers reveal almost similar cytotoxins delivery…

& A. Assignment Step 1: Examine all of the definitions of health disparity: List 4 of the 11 source of definitions named in the article and their corresponding definitions of a health disparity. According to the Minnesota department of health, health disparity is the difference between a defined portion of the population and the majority. Disparities can exist because of socio-economic status, age, geographical area, gender, race or ethnicity, language, customs, and other cultural factors, disability or special health need (Carter-Porkas & Baquet, 2002 p. 431). According to the resource center for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention, ETR associates, health disparities refer to differences in health status amongst different groups of people. In the United States, these groups are categorized by gender, race or ethnicity, education or income, disability, geographic location, and sometimes sexual orientation (Carter-Porkas & Baquet, 2002 p. 431).

Health Care and Human Rights Introduction The American Bar Association defines healthcare as the most fundamental and intersectional human right. The right to health is recognized as an essential human right in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (Gerisch, n.d.). Healthcare should be protected as a public good due to the frailty of human bodies and human lives. Governments everywhere should guarantee universal healthcare to enable the most marginalized and vulnerable population segments to lead lives of dignity. A comprehensive healthcare system should be available to all people inside a country by making it economically accessible to avoid discrimination. The right to health is not fulfilled in the United States, which only provides a health insurance system instead of a holistic health care system. This essay examines the issue of health care and human rights in the United States in relation to single-payer systems, health insurance companies, cost per individual for a particular treatment, transparency of costs, and current coverage by a national system.…
Team-based care Team-based care is getting increased focus on health service research to note cost-effective models to improve blood pressure control. Team-based care involves more health care providers from different disciplines managing patients. Our hypertension initiative focuses on the community of Detroit, Michigan, and the surrounding cities near Detroit. These community events are aimed at helping in addressing health disparities at the street level throughout the covered areas (the community of Detroit, Michigan, and the surrounding cities near Detroit), combining neighborhood health data with demographic information like fresh food, pollutants, income, demographics, race, and others. Hypertension and high blood pressure, as well as health disease, disproportionately affects Detroit, and therefore it makes sense to focus the community events on hypertension Team-based carethere. For years, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Michigan has had some of the highest rates nationally for cardiovascular disease, taken to be among the most preventable disease via lifestyle changes and medication. However, it is crisscrossed by hiking and biking trails and parks and lakes. For every 100,000, 298 residents die of heart failure,…
