Windshield Survey Health and Morbidity

Notably, in 2004 a significant amount (53%, or $8,373) was raised for the epublican Party (campaignmoney.com). A predominant party affiliation can be gleaned from campaign contribution data such as that found on CampaignMoney.com. Although 21206 votes primarily Democrat, there are notable election cycles and campaigns in which the epublican candidate took the seat.

Political posters are displayed proudly immediately before an election cycle, but during the remainder of the year the community is not visibly engaged in politics. Yet due to the split demographics, community meetings can be lively. Campaign contributions tend to be low overall, based on the data contained on CampaignMoney.com.

3. Media

esidents of 21206 do boast satellite dishes, but many residents also use cable television. adio is used, too. Print media is practically dominated by the Baltimore Sun, which is distributed to a large number of homes in the area. Because the demographics of the 21206…… [Read More]

This “windshield survey” of the Bronx shows that while the borough struggled a bit during the recent recession, the Bronx appears to be quite vibrant socially, economically on the rebound, with good housing and healthcare albeit air pollution and other environmental problems exist, as well.

Community Vitality

If “vitality” measures the social and economic health of the community, it can be said that the Bronx is doing very well. The Bronx is home to “…nearly a dozen colleges and universities” and it has the Bronx Zoo (a world class zoo), the New York Botanical Garden (considered among the best in the nation), and Sunshine Bronx is a cooperative that shows the growth spirit of the Bronx. Hunts Point at Sunshine Bronx is on the upswing, according to Adam Davidson writing in The New York Times. It has fresh supplies of produce, fish and meat, and it sells meat…… [Read More]

Epidemiological Triangle Emphasis

The two most important parts of the epidemiological triangle in relation to sexually transmitted disease would be the host element and the environment element and the least important would be the pathogen element. That is because sexually transmitted diseases rely on human behavior for transmission rather than inherent aspects of the diseases themselves.

Unlike airborne pathogens and other diseases whose capacity to infect patients is substantially a function of the pathogens themselves, sexually transmitted diseases cannot infect victims outside of circumstances initiated by the potential victims. Therefore, prevention efforts should focus on addressing human behaviors that are capable of being changed. That part of the epidemiological triangle relates to individual awareness, behavioral choices, and situational awareness of individuals.

This survey is out of San Jose, California to define 3 out of 5 aspects (mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual health) of a community that could affect health. These communities are based out of specific groups in the San Jose neighborhoods who reside in close areas and sometimes even share the same cultural and historical backgrounds. In the public health sector of this area, we are concerned with the evaluation and enhancement of the well-being of the population, as well as, its application and community health nursing education and practices. One main health indicator that we have observed is the responsibility of sexual behavior. Therefore, this windshield survey below will address each of the components we have listed as they relate to the people of San Jose, California.

As the home to the second-largest population of Asian-Indians in the United States today (the first is another nearby small community, Edison, New Jersey) (Sahney, 2010). Out of a population of around 23,500, 16.97% of the residents of Plainsboro (or about 4,000) describe themselves as having Indian ancestry (Sahney, 2010). Although Plainsboro enjoys a high standard of living, a desirable community environment and state-of-the-art medical facilities, it is reasonable to suggest that some of the Asian-Indian population in this community remain marginalized due to an inability to afford these state-of-the-art health care services and the potential for cross-cultural differences in views about health care may further exacerbate this lack of access.

A growing body of evidence also indicates that Asian-Indians are among the highest-risk populations for developing diabetes, making this community an especially important…… [Read More]

The relevance of maintaining healthy communities cannot be overstated. In basic terms, communities should be designed and maintained in a way that promotes the well-being of their inhabitants. In so doing, such communities could end up realizing not only the economic but also the social benefits of a happier, healthier, and more productive society. There is therefore a need to assess and diagnose the key health problems specific to various communities. This way, lasting and innovative solutions can be sought and implemented to rein in the identified health problems.

Many people do not consider obesity to be a deadly non-communicable disease — and yet research shows that obesity is one of the main causes of death in American communities, and it is growing (Tabish, 2007). The community chosen for this paper is a typical, demographically diverse suburban Middle America community: the city is Pueblo, Colorado. The vulnerable population chosen here is the community’s children. Children are especially vulnerable to the risk of obesity and by extension diabetes. This paper will review why this is so and what a community health nurse can do to help address the issue. The purpose of this paper will be to identify strengths, risks and barriers associated with this population’s vulnerability to obesity and diabetes and what can be done to actively combat this problem.

Diabetes is becoming an increasingly serious health problem across the United States, and indeed across the world. The majority of cases of diabetes, both in terms of new diagnoses and of current cases, are those of Type II diabetes, which is a condition generally brought on by overweight or obesity and lack of exercise, that prevents an individual’s body from being able to metabolize the glucose in food in an efficient and healthy way. Individuals with Type II diabetes (as opposed to individuals with Type I diabetes) can generally be quite successfully treated by losing weight and increasing exercise. Individuals with Type II diabetes can often bring their symptoms and risks under control and even potentially eliminate them through good diet and weight loss.

Given that Type II diabetes can have very serious long-term consequences (including early death due to stroke or heart…… [Read More]

The streets seemed dense and crowded with a great number of apartment buildings, more than those in the more laid back areas such as Flatbush and Queens, and also more than those in the vicinity of Coney Island. There were also a lot of immigrant offices and lawyers specializing in immigration services that was telling of the area.

The importance of the study relates to the current trends taking place in Libya where aggressive steps have been taken in recent years to normalize relations with the international community. For example, Libya opened up its programs to develop weapons of mass destruction to international scrutiny and renounced terrorism as a political tool (Libya, 2010). Moreover, the country’s political leadership has been equally forthcoming in its efforts to normalize their relations with Western nations since 2003 (Libya, 2010). More recently, Libya has been removed from the U.S. State Department’s list of states that sponsor terrorism in 2006 and in 2008, Libya joined the United Nations as a nonpermanent member on the UN Security Council during the 2008-2009 term (Libya, 2010).

The overarching contribution of the automobile industry to the United States economy is considerable. Approximately 1.067 million intermediate job are engaged in the direct support of the industry. The spin-off jobs that are associated with the industry — those people who are employed in direct and intermediate positions — adds an additional 1.765 million to the total job count associated with U.S. motor vehicle manufacturing activities. This brings the total number of jobs to nearly 3.145 million jobs. The ratio of direct employment to total jobs created has a multiplier of 10.0 (3,145,000 / 313,000) — an excellent ratio in any investment. To put it in simpler, more comprehensible terms, for every single job in the automobile manufacturing industry, there are an additional nine jobs in the entire sector.

Private sector compensation that is associated with the total number of jobs is about $206…… [Read More]
