Food Away From Home & Food at Home - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Food away from home (FAFH) is a sizeable component of total food consumption and the nutritional intake of U.S. adults and children. FAFH also, therefore, constitutes a large and growing portion of the food budget. In 2009, the annual average household expenditure on FAFH was $2,619 or approximately 41 percent of the food budget for an average U.S. household, compared with $1,320, or approximately 29 percent of the food budget in 1984. Recent findings suggest that FAFH may contribute significantly to obesity and poor dietary quality in the United States. Given the potential significance of FAFH for dietary quality and nutrition, policies designed to influence nutritional outcomes should address the role of FAFH. This book estimates the demand for desegregated FAFH and Food at Home (FAH) products, as elements of an unconditional system of demand equations in a two-stage budgeting process. Statistically significant cross-price relationships, between and within groups of foods, using the first and second stage estimates, underscore the potential usefulness of considering all foods, not just a subset of foods, in evaluating policies targeting nutrition and health outcomes.

Health Care Costs - Raymond W Inhurst - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The U.S. political system arguably is not particularly effective at addressing gradual long-term problems such as rising health care costs and ageing. But the problems caused by rising health care costs are not just long-term ones. In fact, some of them are already having significant effects on various aspects of our society. Health care costs are already reducing workers'' take-home pay to a degree that is both under-appreciated and at least partially unnecessary, consuming roughly a quarter of the federal budget, and putting substantial pressure on state budgets (mostly through the Medicaid program), thereby constraining funding for other governmental priorities. Identifying and addressing inefficiencies in the nation''s health care system can yield significant benefits, even in the short term, and focusing attention on those effects that are already occurring may be helpful in developing the consensus necessary to make the needed changes.

Food Safety at Home - Mojca Jevsnik - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Due to a number of food-related incidents and reported outbreaks world-wide, food quality and food safety have become a hot topic in everyday life. But risk perception research indicates that average people perceive risks differently from experts. Although outbreaks of food poisoning are usually well-documented in the media, there is very little attention paid to the outbreaks which occur as consequence of improper food handling at home. Consumers in everyday life often do not respect basic principles of food safety and as such, at the end of food supply chain, present risk for themselves and their near relatives and friends. Several studies highlighted gaps in food safety knowledge and some critical safety violations regarding food handling at home. This book reviews consumer studies and their conclusions concerning food safety knowledge and practices.

U.S. Mental Health Workforce & the State of the Mental Health System - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The federal government is involved in mental health care in various ways, including direct provision of services, payment for services, and indirect support for services. Policy makers have demonstrated interest in the federal government''s broad role in mental health care. They have done so primarily by holding hearings and introducing legislation addressing the interrelated topics of quality of mental health care, access to mental health care, and the cost of mental health care. This book begins with a working definition of the mental health workforce and a brief discussion of alternative definitions. It then describes three dimensions of the mental health workforce that may influence quality of care, access to care, and costs of care. The book then briefly discusses how these dimensions of the mental health workforce might inform certain policy discussions, and provides statements and testimonies from various individuals on mental health care.

Rural Behavioral Health Programs - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) co-ordinates activities related to rural health care within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ORHP has department-wide responsibility for analysing the possible effects of policy decisions on 62 million residents of rural communities. ORHP was created by Section 711 of the Social Security Act to advise the Secretary of Health and Human Services on health issues within rural communities, including the effects of Medicare and Medicaid on rural citizens'' access to care, the viability of rural hospitals, and the availability of physicians and other health professionals. ORHP administers grant programs designed to build health care capacity at both the local and State levels. This book allows rural behavioural health programs to learn from information gathered in a 2008 study examining the barriers to evaluating programs in rural and frontier behavioural health. The book identifies innovative rural programs (ie: sets of practices, activities, and strategies), and uses the results to suggest basic tools for rural organisations to embark upon the steps necessary to move a program that is perceived to be effective into a promising practice.

Perinatal Mental Health - Yoshiyuki Tachibana - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Mental health problems often occur in perinatal periods. Mothers' mental health problems can cause parenting impairment and affect family health problems (eg: child behaviours, cognitive development and physical health). To avoid those problems, early detection and early intervention for mothers' mental health problems are pivotal. Maternal mental health problems in perinatal periods are cared by many professionals (eg: obstetricians, midwives, nurses, pediatricians, public health nurses, and psychiatrists). This book mentions how to manage mental health problems in perinatal periods from the view point of various professional views. I sincerely hope this book will help cares for maternal and child health service professionals.

Mental Health in Underprivileged Children - Roberto R. Rodriguez - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Experts have concerns that children with mental health conditions do not always receive appropriate treatment, including concerns about appropriate use of psychotropic medications (which affect mood, thought, or behaviour) and about access to psychosocial therapies (sessions with a mental health provider). These concerns may be compounded for low-income children in Medicaid and children in foster care populations who may be at higher risk of mental health conditions. This book examines the use of psychotropic medications and other mental health services for children on Medicaid and in foster care; and other related Health and Human Services (HHS) initiatives.

Mandated Health Care - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The health care reform debate raises many complex issues including those of coverage, accessibility, cost, accountability and quality of health care. Underlying these policy considerations are issues regarding the status of health care as a constitutional or legal right. This book analyses constitutional and legal issues pertaining to a right to health care, as well as the power of Congress to enact and fund health care programs. Following the recent passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, legal issues have been raised regarding the power of Congress to mandate that individuals purchase health insurance, and the ability of states to "nullify" or "opt out" of such a requirement.

Climate Change & Public Health - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The World Health Organization projects climate change will adversely affect health significantly over the next several decades. Some health effects of climate change are already being felt in the United States, according to assessments by the National Research Council, U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), and others. Since the federal government is the nations largest purchaser of health care services, federal health care expenditures could increase in future years due to climate-related impacts. This book addresses federal activities to enhance understanding about the risks climate change poses to public health; federal resources used by selected states and localities to address these risks; and challenges states and localities face and actions federal agencies could take to mitigate them. This book also provides a suggested sequence of steps that health departments can undertake to assess such health vulnerabilities associated with climate change.

Electronic Health Records - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Electronic health records (EHRs) play an important role in optimizing the health care provided to active duty servicemembers and veterans. When a servicemember leaves military service by way of discharge, separation, or retirement he or she may become eligible for VA benefits and services including VA health care. Transitioning their health care information from one large health care system (Department of Defense; DOD) to the other (Department of Veterans Affairs; VA) involves coordination of data and information between DOD and VA. Longstanding concern that this exchange be effective has been expressed in many quarters, including Congress. The purpose of this book is to provide a background on the long-standing efforts in sharing health information between DOD and VA. The book also describes changes to the integrated electronic health record system and evaluates the departments'' current plans; and determines whether the departments are effectively collaborating on management of the program.

Behavioral & Mental Health Coverage - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Behavioural health disorders (including both mental disorders and substance use disorders) affect a large number of people and contribute costs to the health care system, even as indicated treatment is often not received by individuals in need. In the United States, an estimated 26% of non-institutionalised adults experience behavioural health disorders in a given year; over the course of a lifetime, the estimate rises to 46%. This book provides an overview of sections in the health reform law that are expected to affect the financing and delivery of behavioural health care services. Access to health care services is determined by multiple factors, including financing arrangements and covered benefits. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) may increase access to behavioural health services by increasing the availability and affordability of financing arrangements; the law also contains sections that will affect both the coverage of behavioural health services, as well as the conditions under which those services are covered.

Cell Phone Use & Health Risks - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Mobile phone use in the United States has risen dramatically over the last 20 years, and Americans increasingly rely on mobile phones as their sole or primary means of telephone communication. The rapid adoption of mobile phones has occurred amidst controversy over whether the technology poses a risk to human health. Like other devices that transmit radio signals, mobile phones emit radio-frequency (RF) energy. At high power levels, RF energy can heat biological tissue and cause damage. Though mobile phones operate at power levels well below the level at which this thermal effect occurs, the question of whether long-term exposure to RF energy emitted from mobile phones can cause other types of adverse health effects, such as cancer, has been the subject of research and debate. This book examines what is known about the health effects of RF energy from mobile phones, with a focus on the FCC and FDA''s regulatory responsibilities; and other scientific research.

Home Schooling - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

From left to right on the political spectrum, there is at least one note of agreement: the nation''s school system has not delivered universal quality education. Accordingly, debate has raged over how to rectify this situation. Should the government increase funding, encourage privatisation, some of both? Another option, though, has emerged and is seemingly gaining popularity -- home schooling. Citing both substandard education and displeasure with school environments and curricula, many parents have decided to teach their own children. Supporters say it is well within their rights to raise their children as they see fit and that at-home learning is superior to the public system. Detractors claim that home-schooled children are deprived of social interaction and the broad-based education provided by the system. Neither side wants to cede ground, making the issue of home schooling an integral part of a wider national debate on education. In this book, the specific topic of home schooling is presented from all relevant sides to give a complete picture of the present status of the issue and its potential for future resolution. Following this overview is a thorough and carefully selected bibliography of literature about home schooling from all viewpoints. Easy access to his important resource is then provided via author, title, and subject indexes.

Health Care Financial Crisis - Cal Clark - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The key issues of the health care system are often conceptualised as involving three basic dimensions: the quality of health care provided; access to the health care system and the cost of health care. This book presents studies of two distinct types of reform that have been implemented to reduce the ''trade offs'' arising from the ''unholy trinity''. The first focuses upon attempts to reorganise existing institutions in order to make them more effective and cost-efficient. The second considers the move toward ''evaluation research'', that is, more critically evaluating health care treatments and outcomes to make sure that treatments are effective and cost-efficient.
