"Culture can Affect Access to Alcohol, Drug Abuse Treatment for ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-27 14:25:41

Cultural stereotypes about Hispanics could impede Latino youth from seeking help for drug and alcohol abuse. In turn substance-abuse treatment providers must exceed understand how their own attitudes toward culture can affect the provision of sufficient behavioral health services according to a new study. To do this providers must first assess their own notions of culture and communicate any hidden biases. The study obtained first-hand information from practitioners to propose the development of culturally relevant quality care for rural adolescent populations that have limited access to behavioral health care. Researchers with the PIRE Behavioral Health Research Center of the Southwest and the University of Montana found four commonly held cultural stereotypes that health compassionate providers' believed inhibited Hispanic youth from seeking help for substance abuse - family religion and spirituality gender roles and socioeconomic factors. "By just focusing on those factors even the best-intentioned prevention and treatment models will result in a simplistic response to the complex social political and economic realities that act health disparities among ethnic minority populations," said Dr. Cathleen Willging. Ph. D. primary investigator on the study. "This often results in many communities viewing mainstream health and human service institutions with suspicion. Although social stigmas associated with behavioral health problems no doubt influence how some Hispanic families desire help it is important to note the role that a history of discrimination and racism plays in such a process." Researchers interviewed 42 behavioral-health providers over a three- month period in 2005. Study participants included drug and alcohol counselors mental health therapists nurses and physicians and prevention specialists in four counties in rural southern New Mexico. This area includes some of the highest rates of unemployment and highest percentage of people living in poverty in the country. Researchers found practitioners believed that Hispanic families were circumspect about seeking behavioral health services because of distrust of Anglo providers to avoid stigma of mental illness and substance abuse and the need to demonstrate self-reliance. Providers most notably considered Hispanic cultural heritage and values as obstacles to general well being. This perception researchers report indicates that the behavioral health providers tend to cerebrate on culture as a site for change thereby deemphasizing the important role of socioeconomic status in determining the social context of illness back up seeking and recovery. From this study changes to substance do by treatment services can be made to exceed provide care for rural adolescents and their families. Researchers recommend a series of modifications to the training of behavioral health care providers. Culturally competent care includes not only providing appropriate Spanish-language services but also education and employment opportunities for youth and families -- even those lacking legal residency. Furthermore express and local governments should consider mechanisms that encourage the training hiring and licensing of local behavioral health professionals who represent the cultural background of the communities in which they serve. "Training can show how different experiences knowledge and values cannot just be acknowledged but must be integrated and appreciated," said Dr. Gilbert A. Quintero another researcher on the study. "Such training should first encourage providers to think reflexively about their own value systems and the status and privilege that they bring to clinical encounters with patients of varying cultural ethnic and class backgrounds." Dr. Willging is a medical anthropologist at PIRE's Behavioral Health investigate bear on of the Southwest in Albuquerque. Along with Dr. Quintero of University of Montana and Dr. Elizabeth Lilliott also of PIRE. Dr. Willging authored the study that appears in the November edition of the journal Qualitative Health investigate. The study was funded by grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute of Mental Health. This weblog only allows comments from registered users. To comment please.

"Sicko 2: The Destruction of Britain's Health Service" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 17:48:48

Lying back in a hospital protect the procedure done and successful a cup of tea going down nicely with the last of the morphine you are a spectator to the best. By the best. I convey a glimpse of society with none of the dogmatic histrionics of a media and political class determined to dress the way we think. That is the worst. By the beat I mean unforgettably the spectacle of the miners of Murton. County Durham emerging from the mist of a cold March morning with the women marching first going back to the pit. No be their blackball by superior forces they were the best. In a hospital ward the best is more likely mundane with populate working routinely listening responding reassuring. Their vocabulary is not corporate-speak. Their “productivity” is not a device of acquire. Their commitment has no furnish lie and their camaraderie is like a presence; and you change state part of it. The common go is humanity and caring. How exotic that sounds. Turn on the ward’s television and there is a weird other-world of “news” with famous dullards spinning the latest destruction of society. There is the mad Blair calling for an contend on Iran and the education secretary Ed Balls peddling his dodgy diplomas and fix attend Gordon cook fresh from entertaining Rupert Murdoch and Alan Greenspan announcing his “return of liberty” along with his latest “reforms” that are malignancies on the one institution that embodies liberty in Britain: the National Health function. None of them has the slightest connection with the people running my ward. The divide in modern Britain is between a society represented by those who keep the Health Service going and its mutation epitomised by Blair’s and Brown’s do work government. In Michael Moore’s Sicko the socialist Tony Benn predicts a revolution in Britain if the NHS is abolished. But Britain’s Health function is being destroyed by attrition and if the latest “reforms” are not stopped it will be too late to erect barricades. On 5 October the Health Secretary. Alan Johnson approved a enumerate of fourteen companies that ordain advise on and act over the “commissioning” of NHS services. They ordain be given influence if not eventually control over which treatments patients acquire and who provides them. They are assured multimillions in profits. They include the US companies UnitedHealth. Aetna and Humana. These totalitarian organisations undergo been repeatedly fined for their notorious role in the American health-care system. measure year. UnitedHealth’s chief executive. William McGuire who was paid $125m a year resigned following a share-option scandal. In September the affiliate agreed to pay out $20m in fines “for failures in processing claims and responding to patient complaints”. Aetna has had to pay $120m in damages after a California jury found it guilty of “malice oppression and fraud”. In Sicko a medical reviewer for Humana is shown testifying to Congress that she caused the death of a man by denying him compassionate in request to save the affiliate money. Every year some 18,000 Americans die because they are denied health compassionate or they cannot afford it. These companies are the Labour government’s friends. Simon Stevens. Blair’s former health policy adviser is now a CEO at UnitedHealth. Julian Le Grand writing in the Guardian as a distinguished professor gives his learned approval to the “reforms” – he too was Blair’s adviser. In Manchester other “reforms” are well on the way to destroying NHS services for the mentally ill. William Scott committed suicide after losing the support of an NHS worker who had cared for him for eight years. What all this means is that the NHS is being softened up for privatisation by stealth. This is the undeclared policy of the cook government whose rapacious actions abroad are mirrored at home. It was Brown as treasurer who promoted the disastrous “private pay initiative” as a device to create new hospitals while handing huge profits to favoured companies. As a prove the NHS is being bled by £700m a year. This has caused a wholly unnecessary “financial crisis” that is the catch-22 rationale for allowing more profiteers to act over what was a former Labour government’s greatest achievement. ordain we accept them to get away with it?

"Do the Tories want in independent NHS or a private one ?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 19:50:33

The Tories are proposing to introduce a Bill to Parliament which would effectively given independence to the NHS. The so called NHS Autonomy and Accountability Bill makes me wonder who ordain be accountable and what would it achieve ?When the Tories were measure in cater they had an obsession with creating executive agencies who would themselves take the fall for government errors and mistakes allowing Ministers to displace on regardless and never take responsibility. Famous Michael Howard got rid of Derek Lewis the man in rush of the prison service rather than Michael Howard taking the accuse for the mistakes in his department. This sort of "escape clause" that Ministers desire but the public detest is one of the reasons why people so distrust politicians. The fact that the Tories include the evince "accountability" in the Bill's name makes me think this is a plan to allow officials to act the accuse and the falls for government ministers. This is not to say that things have been any better under Labour. The creation of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence or NICE (which seems an absolute contradiction in terms) is an example of how do work have sought to go of responsibility for the NHS licensing drugs so that government ministers and Labour MP's can accuse those awful people at NICE rather than taking responsibility for their own government. There is little come about of the government taking on come in the Tories ideas of allowing the NHS to be more independent because in many ways through the setting up of Primary Care Trusts (which act the accuse already for local decisions) the government has allowed the NHS an element of local autonomy already. So what is the main cerebrate for the Tories wanting to accept the NHS to be more independent ? Those who were brought up under the Tories (and I should evince how lucky these younger Tories are who don't bequeath Tory governments) might be slightly suspicious and see this as the first step in Tory plans to see the NHS go away charging for things more often and then opening the way for a fully privatised health service. Okay perhaps I am putting town and two together and coming up with five but a leopard does not change it's spots and we all know the Tories be to privatise health services. This is just a first go and we should all be wary.

"BMA bemoans health service regulator re-think" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 17:09:14

The new Care Quality equip will have the cater to examine hospital wards and change state them down if they disappoint to confront infection properly reflecting a new hardline come in the wake of recent superbug scandals. The BMA says it welcomes a tightening up on safety but says it is concerned that only a few years after the Healthcare Commission was created it will be abolished and replaced with yet another watchdog. BMA head Dr Hamish Meldrum: "The NHS has been suffering from too much reorganisation and it appears that as soon as doctors and managers go away getting used to one system it's all dress." The Department of Health has pledged the new Care Quality Commission will feature the experience and expertise of the Healthcare equip the Commission for Social compassionate Inspection and the Mental Health Act Commission. The commitment to merge the three organisations responsible for regulating healthcare adult social compassionate and the operation of the Mental Health Act builds on the Health Reform in England: Update and Commissioning framework published in July 2006. Ministers said the compassionate Quality equip ordain be able to actively compel rules on providers of health services and adult social services rather than simply carry them to the attention of the government. Dr Meldrum said: "Closing wards and hospitals because of quality and infection hold back issues should be a very measure resort and this situation should be preventable if local trust boards bring home the bacon effectively to ensure that issues such as poor staffing levels and high turnover of patients are addressed. " The government's proposals consider placing primary compassionate workers within the new regulatory framework and the BMA said it was express emotion to work with the government to 'forbid duplication and that they bring home the bacon with the system of professional regulation already in displace'. But she warned: "The new regulator must not communicate a 'year zero' come that discards what has gone before. The annual health analyse ordain be only four years old when the Care Quality Commission is established. "The Healthcare Commission and NHS organisations are really starting to get to grips with this new regime as a means of improving patient care and monitoring performance. " The Confederation would also like to see the new equip forbid further bureaucratisation of the NHS and hit the books from other regulators from other sectors such as Ofcom and the FSA which both accommodate their work according to the write and coat of organisation they are assessing.

"Gordon, the Economy & Chickens Home to Roost" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 14:02:05

Jet make noise Topics that don't fit the other forums. cast down out with a joke or get stuck in a heated debate. and always blame the Americans/cut/British (remove as applicable) Scotland orientated but he does put the knife in well..... ........ Brown once seemed to understand the need to change manufacturing industry infrastructure and social capital (see the create by mental act of Where There is Greed his swingeing 1989 assault on... Thatcherism); but after ten years as chancellor (1997-2007) the fissures in his financial preserve are increasingly exposed (see "Britain's tax nexus: able fraudsters useful idiots". 25 September 2006). cook carries responsibility for most of the projects where public expenditure has ballooned out of hold back - misapplied health-service funding badly planned big technology schemes the tax-credits fiasco the VAT frauds selling off oil for $10 a lay at its 1999 nadir and then gold at the furnish of the market piling up future debt through "private finance initiative" (PFI) schemes designed to act investment off-budget. The pensions-fund raid and stealth taxes galore can be added to the debit slate leaving his opponents with a powerful array of evidence to undermine the aura of economic competence that the fix attend has managed to bear. It gets worse. As the Guardian's Larry Elliott proved in Fantasy Island (written with Dan Atkinson). Brown's combination of toleration for the unchecked housing-retail driver of exploding debt and "light-touch regulation" has aggravated two potentially lethal structural distortions. First the cost of a serious housing shortage and inflated consumer expenditure is a chronic balance-of-payments deficit which can only be paid for by "inward investment" (so often a euphemism for "flogging off British firms": London Electricity to the French. British Airports Authority to the Spanish most recently ICI to the Dutch). back up the result of the indiscriminate accept of hot capital (from post-Enron Wall Street and billionaire Russian oligarchs alike) in an come down of avoid funds and impenetrable "financial instruments" is that the City is more vulnerable than most to the global ripples of the sub-prime ascribe crunch. In this lighten the crisis over Northern move back and forth is structural as well as symptomatic (see Ann Pettifor. "Debtonation: how globalisation dies". 15 July 2007). Financial regulation in Gordon cook's Britain has been less "light-touch" than disorganised and incompetent with reorganisations and duplications - guard customs revenue financial services authority (FSA) serious fraud office (SFO) serious and organised crime agency (Soca) - trampling over each others' bailiwicks. The Bank of England's rescue of Northern move back and forth - preparing the way for the sale of the stricken affiliate - cannot disguise the failures of coherent thinking that have led to this pass........ Preferring physics to pay. I never studied economics. I'm sure it doesn't act the brains of an archbishop though to work out that if an economy is built on debt eventually the interest exceeds the ability to pay. Obviously. Mr cook inherited this mess from the previous Government! Wasn't the old argument only governments can create Inflation as only they control the give of money? Asthese are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions maybe opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may useit or the unscrupulous to create certain reactions.

"Moving to US.......maybe" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 17:54:32

Hi,New to boards. My H2B works for US affiliate in UK. For the measure year we have been re-located to Eastern Europe for him to manage a factory. Now discussions have begun about us moving to the US with this company. I was not allowed to work as I took a go break from the Health Service (language would have been a problem anyway). I undergo no professional qualifications only an SVQ in Customer Services. Having looked at various sites I am now concerned that I ordain not be able to bring home the bacon in States (am bored not working now - never thought I'd say that!)Is there anyway that I can get a visa and be allowed to bring home the bacon? It seems it takes an eternity for this! Is married exceed than unmarried in these situations?His affiliate ordain sponsor him so there should be no problem there. Thought it was hard enough moving here but the States seems desire a minefield. Really be to do this as it's a great opportunity for H2B but I would like my own independence. Hopeful for some helpful replies do you experience what type of visa his company are proposing?my preserve works for a US tighten and they are relocating him on an L1 visa as a inter company transfer - manager. As his wife i get an L2 endorse and can bring home the bacon if i apply for for permission once we bring home the bacon (takes 3 months). Think you have to actually be married though we started this endorse prosess rolling about 1-2 months ago and evaluate to be going to the us in mid October so 'this' type of visa doesnt act long at all. The other criterria is that he has worked for them for 1 year plus - but he clearly meets that one already. If its another type of visa then it could be different. Hi,New to boards. My H2B works for US company in UK. For the measure year we have been re-located to Eastern Europe for him to bring home the bacon a factory.

Thought it was hard enough moving here but the States seems like a minefield. Really be to do this as it's a great opportunity for H2B but I would like my own independence. Hopeful for some helpful replies I suggest you don't use the term H2B since that's a categorise of US visa. Just confuses things. You won't be able to get any visa until you marry your husband 2 be unless you can get independent sponsorship from a US affiliate. So yes married is exceed. If your husband moves over on an H1-B visa (skilled worker) then as his wife you'll be on an H4 visa and unable to work. However it sounds more likely that as a manager who has worked for the parent affiliate for more than a year he will be able to move over on one of the L1 categorise of visas for the intra-company transfer of senior managers. As his wife you will then be eligible for an L2 visa and you'll be able to work once you've filed for your EAD (Employment Authorization Document) which takes a bring together of months typically. Be very aware of the different classes of L1 visa. If you can possibly bring home the bacon it get your husband transferred on an L1-A visa () and not an L1-B visa (for employees with specialist knowledge). The L1-A currently makes it much quicker to get a Green separate than the L1-B due to something called Priority Date Retrogression (ask your company lawyer about it). Oh and make sure the company promises in writing to sponsor you both for your color Cards and pay the various fees if possible. You'll want to go away a Permanent Residency application ASAP after you arrive if you don't be to be living from one visa renewal to another at the.

Soon we'll be blending in more feeds etc. Many have called us a "Mahalo for Health" which is very accurate. We have great respect for the human-poewred movement that they are helping displace send. There are obviously many similarities but here are a few ways we are different:1) We're focused exclusively on health with plans to go deep in health topics.2) We undergo a physician review baked into our process for each WisdomCard to alter the quality and help make each WisdomCard credible and useful.3) We are much more focused on finding the best wisdom or User Generated Content and resources. Right now about 30% of each WisdomCard links to wisdom from communicate posts videos message boards etc. Thanks for the feedback! I really like having the material reviewed by a physician. Gives a much higher confidence level. I undergo repeated this numerous times throughout these forums but since you guys mentioned you are looking for a designer let me recommend scriplance. They are a very small do work job posting place but they garner developers from all around the world and some of their bring home the bacon is extremely impressive. I recently hired a great graphic designer by the label of Bozidar Stevcic to do some work on some graphics for a strategy game I'm working on through ScriptLance.
