  3. HCA 415 ASH Course Material HCA 415 Week 1 DQ 2 Poverty and Health HCA 415 Week 2 Assignment Public Health and the Law • Poverty and Health. The health status of populations is influenced by many factors. When considering poverty, answer the following questions: • a. Is poverty a cause of poor health in a community, or is poor health a cause of poverty? • Public Health and the Law. In the United States, prior to the 1930s, public health efforts were primarily undertaken at local and state levels.

  4. HCA 415 ASH Course Material HCA 415 Week 2 DQ 1 U.S. Health Care System Critical Issues HCA 415 Week 2 DQ 2 Role of Prevention in Health Status • .S. Health Care System Critical Issues. The size, scope, and complexity of the U.S. health system makes it difficult to deliver quality care to all of its citizens. What do you believe are the three most critical issues facing the health care system in the United States today? • Role of Prevention in Health Status. This week we read about the role that prevention plays in the health of a population. Reflecting on the reading, discuss the following questions about preventative services: • a. Is an ounce of prevention still worth a pound of cure in the United States? If not, what is the relative value of prevention, in comparison to treatment?

  5. HCA 415 ASH Course Material HCA 415 Week 3 Assignment Emergency Preparedness and Response HCA 415 Week 3 DQ 1 Tools for Assessing Community Health • Emergency Preparedness and Response. Your course text defines bioterrorism as “the threatened or intentional release of biologic agents for the purpose of influencing the conduct of government or intimidating or coercing a civilian population to further political or social objectives” • Tools for Assessing Community Health. The Institute of Medicine report released in 1998 described three public health core functions: assessment, policy development, and assurance. (Turnock, 2012, p. 107) For this discussion, you will examine tools used to assess the health of a community.

  6. HCA 415 ASH Course Material HCA 415 Week 3 DQ 2 Essential Services HCA 415 Week 4 DQ 1 Individual Rights versus Societal Rights • Essential Services. Maternal and Child Health (M.C.H.) services are one of the basic services of local public health efforts. M.C.H. core services include: pre-natal care, post-natal care, neonatal care, and supervision of the health of school children. • Individual Rights versus Societal Rights. Prevention is a hallmark of public health. Primary prevention uses interventions such as vaccinations, anti-smoking campaigns, and motor vehicle safety laws (e.g., wearing seatbelts, wearing helmets) to prevent disease and injury.

  7. HCA 415 ASH Course Material HCA 415 Week 4 DQ 2 Affordable Care Act HCA 415 Week 5 DQ 1 Science versus Social Policy • Affordable Care Act. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed comprehensive health reform, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, into law. • Science versus Social Policy. According to Turnock (2012), “further gains in health status may be less related to science than to social policies” (p. 266). Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why or why not? Provide at least three specific reasons to support your position.

What will be the most important achievement of public health in the twenty-first century? Why? • For your Final Project, you will complete an analysis of a public or community health problem that is formatted in either an eight to ten page paper or a ten to twelve slide PowerPoint presentation (not including title and references pages/slides).
