Data-Driven advocacy programs In today’s ever-changing health system, employers must engage the employees in making decisions that are related to their health. In essence, this helps to improve clinical outcomes and controlling costs. REF notes that as long as the consumers have no idea about the healthcare system, they will continue being exploited by insurance companies that deduct a lot of money from their salaries. Employers are trying hard to engage their employees in focusing on ways of managing their well-being. They can only achieve this either by the use of healthcare data or by using opt-in advocacy programs. This paper will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of the two options. So as more healthcare organizations start to participate in health information exchange, they need to understand these pros and cons. Healthcare data has been used and is still being used to increase an employee’s engagement in decision making. Some of the advantages of using healthcare data to make decisions are that one can identify the gaps that exist in the recommended care, rule out the risks, and late…
Briefly describe the Public Health issue you selected and justify your selection In my Public Health Campaign, I chose the issue of drug abuse among the youths living in urban areas in America. I selected the issue of drug abuse because, in America, the problem is on the rise. Many people are involved in the use of drugs with the most abused drugs being nicotine, cocaine, heroin, and smoking cigarette. Doing Public Health Campaign on drug abuse will help me to educate the Americans on the dangers of using drugs (Elflein, 2019) The use of drugs has many effects on the people using them and the society as well. The drug users are at a high risk of suffering health complications. The smokers of cigarette risk getting cancer. Addiction to drugs also hinders the normal functioning of the user. Therefore, many youths in America drop out of school because they can no longer handle their studies well. The society suffers increased crime rates because those who use drugs steal to get money to buy drugs. Campaigning against the use of…
MMA Experience Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is becoming very popular and the fastest growing sport all over the world. According to Seungmo et al. (2008), it is among the games that have been around far longer, with a growing exponentially each year. I have grown to love to sport, and I owe it to my father, who made me join MMA. My father was a regular boxing fan, and he made me watch PPV events ever since I was a small kid. I remember watching the likes of Iron Mike on those eras of boxing, and he made me an avid boxing fan to date. However, on many occasions, despite my dad spending vast amounts of money on PPV events, he would complain about how wrestling was a fake sport. I finally realized he was speaking the truth around the age of 10. Nonetheless, that did not deter me from joining MMA, and ironically I got into this sport when I stopped training Karate. At that time, I was living in Ireland when I bought a UFC 54 in a…

In South Korea, the country with the highest number of cases after China, several events…

casual conversation Last year while at the park, I heard a guy talking in a language that I thought was quite intriguing with an exotic accent. After the guy got off the phone, I casually inquired what language he was speaking, and he told me Xhosa. We got into a casual conversation and learned that we were studying in the same college and were interested in a lot of similar activities in school. As a result, we became acquittances; thus, we said hi when meeting on campus and occasionally met for drinks. I found Sam, the chosen reference name in the assignment, to be the best candidate for the study as he is from a different part of the world thus has experienced different factors that have developed his personality. Moreover, from the interactions we have had, he seemed open and jovial therefore, I figured he would share more information about himself. Interviewing Sam was a pleasant experience as he was talkative and shared a lot about his background and aspects that have been crucial in building his identity. Moreover,…
Lynching in the American States Lynching means killing of a defined group of people without a fair trial due to a suspected offense. After the end of the American civil war in the 19th century, Lynching started to rise in most of the southern states of America and expanded to other countries over time (Beck & Tolnay, 1990). The execution was spearheaded by the white Americans who targeted African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. The main aim of the Lynching was to impose the white supremacy on the blacks through racial segregation. African Americans were commonly charged with cases of murder, attempted killings, and rape cases. The accusations mainly resulted from the blacks’ economic competition with the whites and or those who disrespected the whites. The execution also was ordinary in other regions such as the old west and California, and the Latinos got executed. The main charge on accusation was hanging. The hanging was done publicly and served as a warning to the other blacks. There were other methods of punishment, such as removal of body parts, shooting,…

Most states regulate youth of seventeen to eighteen years and below from visiting public sites from 10 pm to 5.a.m during the weekdays and as from midnight to dawn on weekends. For instance, in Prince George County in Maryland, the curfew is applied to the youth of seventeen years and below. They are restricted from public places during night times (Wilson et al., 2016). Failure to adhere to the curfew laws attracts a fine, which is applied according to the offense, community service, and youth driver’s license restrictions. This has helped keep then in their homes to avoid being engaged in crime or be victims of crime. Besides, the huge fines, together with sanctions, prevent the youth from visiting public places at night. Curfew laws have helped, to a vast extent, to reduce crimes and victimization among the youth. According to Wilson et al., 2016, as per the quantitate evaluations…
