Hello!  I am looking for some info on a particular type of nursing program
and I was wondering if anyone could help me.  The programs that I am
interested in are programs through which non-nurses can enter into the
program and come out with a nurse practioner degree.  Vanderbilt University
here in Nashville has one and it is called the Bridges Program.  I
understand that there are about 15 programs throughout the US, but without
knowing the name of each specific program, I am having trouble finding the
other ones.  If anyone knows of such a program at your university, I would
appreciate knowing about it or getting a contact person to call.  Thanks for
you assistance!

Subject: food for thought-World Health Organization's Report

** Special IEJHE Issue:  http://www.iejhe.siu.edu

** More info: http://www.hpcareer.net/hedir.htm

The World Health Organization has carried out the first ever analysis of the
world's health systems.
Using five performance indicators [1-overall level of population health;
2-health inequalities (or disparities) within the population; 3-overall
level of health system responsiveness (a combination of patient satisfaction
and how well the system acts); 4-distribution of responsiveness within the
population (how well people of varying economic status find that they are
served by the health system); and, 5- the distribution of the health
system's financial burden within the population (who pays the costs)] to
measure health systems in 191 member states, it finds that France provides
the best overall health care followed among major countries by Italy, Spain,
Oman, Austria and Japan.
The findings were published in The World Health Report 2000 - Health
systems: Improving performance*.
The U.S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product
than any other country but ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to its
performance, the report finds. The United Kingdom, which spends just six
percent of GDP on health services, ranks 18 th . Several small countries -
San Marino, Andorra, Malta and Singapore are rated close behind second-
placed Italy.
In North America, Canada rates as the country with the fairest mechanism for
health system finance - ranked at 17-19, while the United States is at
54-55. Cuba is the highest among Latin American and Caribbean nations at
23-25.

Susan,

We publish a wonderful book by Armeda and Rebecca Ferrini called Health in
the Later Years.  It just came out this past year in a new edition.  You can
check it out on the web by going to our health web site as listed below and
clicking on the course health and aging.  If you will let me know where you
will be teaching the course, I can arrange for the sales representative to
send you a review copy.

        Further on financial benefits of prevention spending:


Kim S, Coletti SD, Crutchfield CC, Williams C, Hepler N  (Operation PAR,
Inc., St. Petersburg, FL 33716, USA.)
 Benefit-cost analysis of drug abuse prevention programs: a
macroscopic approach. J Drug Educ 1995;25(2):111-27.


                       To date, benefit-cost analysis has rarely been used
to justify the drug abuse prevention
                       field. However, there is an increasing demand for
this type of analysis as the field of
                       substance abuse prevention enters a new phase--a
phase characterized by a competitive
                       marketplace, an increased demand for accountability,
and the desire to measure return on
                       the money invested in prevention. In response, an
effort is made to stimulate discussion
                       and further research on the topic. This article first
determines the overall strategy for
                       initiating benefit-cost analysis (BCA), followed by
definitions of BCA and
                       cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA). This is followed
by the determination of some of the
                       major variables used in BCA along with the algorithm
for determining the benefit-cost
                       efficiency ratio (R) as it applies to the macro level
analysis. In estimating a value for the
                       R, a decision has been made to incorporate
uncertainty into the BCA. In a macroscopic
                       approach to BCA, four independent variables are
identified for computing R. These
                       independent and dependent variables are assumed to be
random variables with normal
                       distributions. The population means and standard
deviations pertaining to these
                       independent variables are estimated from the existing
literature. In order to incorporate
                       uncertainty into the computation of R, ten
measurements have been randomly selected for
                       each of the four independent variables. Following
this procedure, fifteen benefit-cost
                       efficiency ratios are calculated by selecting one of
the ten values at random per variable
                       used in the R equation. In this way, we were able to
determine the most likely population
                       benefit-cost efficiency ratio of 15:1, indicating
that there is a $15 savings on every dollar
                       spent on drug abuse prevention. The 95 percent
confidence level pertaining to the R has
                       an interval from $13.7 to $16.1. This indicates that
the population R resides within the
                       range 95 percent of the time.

**10. PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH ISSUES - HARVARD EDUCATION LETTER. I am
looking for experts on health and physical education instruction at U.S.
schools. What is the state of physical education, and is it possible for it
to compete with academic subjects for attention? Is there research that
links good physical fitness and health with effective learning? How have gym
classes changed over the years? In addition, how much have schools paid
attention to guidelines for healthy eating produced in 1996 by the CDC? I'm
also interested in finding those who know about the performance of
school-based health centers, the success of certain measures in reducing
risky behavior and the effects of prevention programs on Latino children.
The Harvard Education Letter is a national newsletter for educators,
administrators and others that describes recent research, issues and
innovations in K-12 education. Emails describing your background and where
you can be reached are especially welcome. Need leads by August 5. >>>

Hi HEDIRs- Do you have a wonderful program that you want to highlight in
Health Education & Behavior's Practice Notes?  "Notes" are REALLY easy to
write and it's a very quick turn-around.  I have to confess :-( that the
summer has gotten away from me and I am nearing a publication deadline for
which I don't have enough "notes". HERE's your BIG CHANCE for a quick and
easy publication!!  Check out the guidelines for writing Practice Notes
below and look at a recent issue of HEB for some good examples.  It
shouldn't take more than an evening of your time- REALLY!!!  If you are
interested, please let me know right away (as I am leaving for vacation on
Friday) and then email a file to me by July 22nd so that I can review and
edit when I return.

Thanks-!!  :-)

Lisa Lieberman,
Editor, Practice Notes

Colleagues:

I have found two very useful web sites: one  for books, the other for finding
graphic artists and printers at costs I can afford:

<http://www.abe.com  for used and out of print books -
they
have an
international network of bookstores - at discounts

<http://www.58k.com/  you post your graphics and printing
needs/specifications and 58,000 have the opportunity to bid on it at
no cost to you

Enjoy!

I've just spent a few minutes talking with my colleague Dale Ritzel about
an idea that he is doing.  It was so good that I told him I might "steal"
his idea.  So with his "blessing", I'm throwing out this idea to the HEDIR.

Dale Ritzel operates a driver education listserv.  Like the HEDIR it is a
very active discussion group, and for those who know anything about drivers
education training, it has undergone some very dramatic changes.  Dale
proposed to his listserv that he would serve as a clearinghouse to store
powerpoint presentations that anybody could download, use, modify, etc.

I would like to see if this is something that the members of the HEDIR
would find interesting.  We could have the powerpoint programs stored on my
server and individuals could download via the 'net, use and/or modify
according to their own interests.  As we can imagine, there are thousands
of powerpoint programs that have been made by health educators in all the
various settings on a variety of topics.  Some are straight forward, and
some are pretty extensive.  I would like to see if there is an interest on
the HEDIR to have some type of clearinghouse to store those ppt
presentations.  Obviously, if you send a ppt presentation to this
clearinghouse you are acknowledging that other people can use it, modify
it, etc.  I do think that if somebody would use somebody's ppt
presentation, even if they modify it,  they should acknowledge the original
creator of such presentation.

If a person is concerned about copyright laws or 'intellectual property'
issues, then they just wouldn't submit anything to this clearinghouse.
This would serve as merely a means for health educators to share
presentations that they've created for the good of the profession.

So, is there an interest on the HEDIR to have something like this?  If
there is I'll come up with some type of protocol.  For example, we do NOT
want people to send their ppt presentations over the HEDIR as an
attachment.  That would really gum things up.  The details on how this
would work would need to be worked out.

What's your thoughts?

Hello HEDIR land,

Would anybody out there know of available resources that focus on organ
donation among Hispanics? Either resources that are available on-line or
funding opportunities for resrach on the area would be extremely helpful.

Again thank you in advance,

Mark and others intrested,

        This is a provacative idea.  It acknowledges the fact that there are
really very few truly original thoughts; in fact many ideas that have been
copywritten and patented were, to some extent, borrowed or stolen from others.
In an altruistic enviroment of "I will donate my version of a presentation
anyone to modify it so that I can obtain the verions of presentations
develped by others and modify them to meet my needs" lots of neat stuff could
be developed.  The downstream versions may not be particularly pleasing to the
authors of the initial versions, but they might seem like the products of
genus to others.

        I believe that there are probably enough HEDIRs who can check their
egos enough to create a truly creative environment.  I encourage you to go
forward with this idea.

Sounds harmless enough and it could be very useful. I can imagine that some

Mark, I think that is a GREAT idea.  We have a similar exchange system within
the state of Maine system.  I have used it only once, but it was very helpful.

I think it would be a good idea for the original authors name to stay on the
presentation.  Then anyone making extensive changes could add their name and/or
put their name on slides they add.

You are right of course.  If people mistakenly send the presentations to the
HEDIR listserve it will create a LOT of copies of very large files. Most of mine
are so large our computer system won't let them out as email attachments.  I
wonder if having them on an FTP site would decrease the chances of getting them
sent as email attachments?

Great of you to offer.

Mark and Others,

I see the ppt presentation clearinghouse idea to be a good one.  I like the
concept of health educators sharing professional ideas and that would be an
interesting way of doing it.

BUT,  below I've posed a few questions for those health educators with all the
brain power to think about. I require many of my undergraduate students and all
of my graduate students to do ppt presentations in class on a health related
topic, depending on the class of course.

With such a clearinghouse for ppt presentations available, how would it impact
the creativity of students who are required to prepare ppt presentations for a
class?  Would it reduce their creativity?  Would the clearinghouse be an easy
way for students to complete a class assignment without doing any work on their
own? Even though familiarity with this kind of software (ppt) is increasing
among students, there are still many students who do not know how to prepare a
ppt presentation. With a ppt clearinghouse readily available, will students
take the time to learn ppt and prepare a presentation on their own? I don't
think they will. Of course I could tell my students NOT to use the ppt
clearinghouse when preparing their presentation, but will that really stop
them?

Maybe others in HEDIR Land have similar concerns or someone may have some
solutions to my concerns. Maybe there could be a ppt clearinghouse for students
and one for current professionals. The students would not be about to download
the ppt presentations but could use the clearinghouse as a source for
ideas------just a thought and remember you heard it here first.;-)

I am concerned about this idea.

I agree with William that some students may take advantage of this
resource in a way that actually hinders their learning.

I am also concerned about people using existing presentations to address
topics they are not familiar with.  We all have faced the challenge of
giving a presentation on a topic that we had little pre-existing
knowledge, but the process taught us much.  What quality control is
there if we readily give information to those with less training or
knowledge on any given topic.

Does anyone else have this concern?

In health,

Michael

WOW! 40 is a small class for me!! I typically teach about 50-60 undergards
in a methods class.......I use groups (n=5-6 per group) throughout the
entire course. The majority of the work is done cooperatively and through
team-based, problem-solving.

(i.e. provide about 4-5 problems during the course that require the students
to go in-depth on the key concepts. Also have all group work done "in-class"
not "out of class").

Remember--"Less is More"

Good luck

** More info: http://www.hpcareer.net/hedir.htm

After reading valid concerns by many about a possible PPT clearinghouse,
three possible solutions exist. (1) Mostly, professional health educators
would want to use the clearinghouse. Why not make the clearinghouse password
protected? In effect, each person who wishes to use it could apply for a
password. (2) Another idea is to place the clearinghouse in a members-only
section of the HEDIR web pages. Thus, only HEDIR subscribers would have
access to these pages. (3) Finally, a watermark with the author's
identifying information could be placed in the PowerPoint presentation. This
watermark would be on each slide of the presentation. In order for one
copying the PowerPoint presentation to claim ownership (of course, as we
know, unrightful plagarism), the student (or other nefarious person) would
have to have the computer technology to remove the watermark.

Subject: environmental risks in cancer

** Special IEJHE Issue:  http://www.iejhe.siu.edu
** Thanks for supporting the HEDIR by Advertising Jobs!
** More info: http://www.hpcareer.net/hedir.htm

Good morning America,

the reason for being a health educator got a bit clearer on this side of
the ocean again. There is little new information as such, more like
clarification in support of the Canadian findings two three decades
back.

According to a study by Swedish researcher Paul Lictenstein et al. (New
England Journal of Medicine) yesterday, apparently (I will get to see
the paper sometime next month!) only a third of the cancer cases are due
to genetic links. Seven of ten reasons are elsewhere, listed as
environmental. I am using a public relations piece of information;
please see the paper published yesterday.

The findings are based on a unique twin register (Sweden, Finland,
Denmark) which lists data from the late 19th century (90 000 twins born
before 1958). Five cancers are listed as having a genetic link, prostate
cancer leading the pack.

The environmental factors (60-80%) listed include smoking, eating
habits, dangerous substances in some occupations, environmental
substances, radon, and lots of sitting in one place (=lack of exercise,
I envision!). This is confirmation to the findings health educators have
been teaching about for decades.

There has been lots of talk about mapping of genes and cancer but the
origins of cancer will remain a mystery until the interactions of the
genes in question have been solved, the information says.

The personal/environmental element is important in cancer prevention
--if you care. Take care of your environment. It will take care of you.

         Programs

U.S. Surgeon General's Latest Research Review Supports Needle Exchange
Programs

        Surgeon General David Satcher and the Department of Health and
Human Services have completed a review of all peer-reviewed, scientific
studies of needle exchange programs completed since April 1988.  Their
primary conclusion follows:

        "The senior scientists of the Department and I [the Surgeon
General] have unanimously agreed that there is conclusive scientific
evidence that syringe exchange programs, as part of a comprehensive HIV
prevention strategy, are an effective public health intervention that
reduces transmission of HIV and does not encourage the illegal use of
drugs."  (The report is available at
http://www.harmreduction.org/surgreview.html.)

        Completed in response to a request by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the
report, also addresses numerous issues within the needle exchange debate.
The findings, as summarized by the American Foundation for Aids Research,
only strengthen the case for needle exchange as a key tool in preventing
the spread of HIV/AIDS:

*       Syringe exchange programs (SEPs) consistently attract persons with
highest risk profiles for HIV infection and severe drug use and are
successful in referring clients into detoxification and substance abuse
treatment programs.
*       SEP-referred clients have similar rates of retention in substance
abuse treatment as individuals from standard referral sources, despite
severe baseline drug use and high-risk lifestyles.
*       Clients participating in SEPs have decreased reuse of contaminated
syringes and reduced sharing of injection equipment.
*       The data indicate that the presence of a syringe exchange program
does not increase the use of illegal drugs among participants, and in many
cases, a decrease in injection frequency has been observed among those
attending these programs.
*       Provision of sterile injection equipment through SEPs and pharmacy
access is cost-effective; one HIV infection can be prevented for one-third
the cost of medical care for an infected person.
*       The scientific evidence accumulated to date provides a basis on
which municipalities that are heavily affected by an HIV epidemic driven by
injection drug use should consider syringe exchange programs as a tool for
the identification, referral, and retention of active users of injection
drugs into these services, as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention plan.

        In related news, the American Medical Association has taken the
position that physicians should be allowed to prescribe sterile syringes to
persons addicted to injection drug use.  The platform was approved by
delegates at the recent AMA convention.

        Visit http://www.harmreduction.org/surgeon1.html to see AMFAR's
summary of the review in its entirety.

        Visit http://www.dogwoodcenter.org/survivors/survivehome.html for

Wiliam and Michael,

    Do you really believe that withholding a small collection of ppt
presentations from HEDIRs will make your students more likely to
generate original ideas and that this pool of ppt presentations would
cause their moral decay?   I doubt that denying the opportunity to for
HEDIRs to share their ppt presentations will contribute substantially to
maintenance of ethical standards or protect the potential for original
work on the parts of health education students.

Mark:

I also think sharing PPT presentations is an intriguing idea.

My second thoughts include the following: (and I apologize for sounding so
cynical since my gut response was a resounding - What a good idea!)

Some may be concerned that others will try to pass off the originator's
expertise (as communicated through the powerpoint presentation) as their own.
However, if we have developed our presentations in keeping with sound health
education principles, I think that the support materials would still require
the "borrower" to know the issue in some depth before using the package.

I think such a resource would be a most colleagueal way of sharing resources,
saving each other time, and increasing the likelihood that certain topics that
might normally be left out are introduced in classes and presentations.

Since I am interested in promoting social marketing and think it could use
more
visibility, if the listserv wants to experiment, I think I would be willing to
share a PPT presentation on social marketing from one of my talks and see
if it
is useful to anyone.

Fellow HEDIR's -

Greetings from the much-too-hot state of Texas.

I asked one of my colleagues if Mark had a listening device in our
office, for we were just talking about creating an archive of ppt
presentations on public health topics and program processes where we
work. Then I saw his post last week.

Generally, I believe it's a commendable and a generous idea. I think it
can also be an enriching experience for presentation audiences as well
as the presenters themselves who choose to adopt as is or modify, and
give credit. If they fail to give credit, it's on their account and will
be paid at some other time. So be it.

Something else in Mark's post also interested me. Mark, you mentioned a
driver education listserve. Could you provide us the subscription
address? As you know, we'll be featuring the HEDIR listserve in an
upcoming issue of the Health Promotion Inter-Change newsletter from the
Texas Department of Health, Public Health Promotion Program. I'm also
seeking to locate subscription addresses for other listservs that would
be of interest to health education and health promotion professionals.
If any of you belong to such listservs or know of any, would you please
email that info to me? I'd appreciate it.

Also, does anyone know what has happened to the social marketing
listserv? Is there a new address or is it history? No one in my office
has received any recent posts, and subscription attempts are returned.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Ouch Bill, I thought my fellow SIU graduate was above such personal
criticism and sarcasm of others who voice their concerns on the hedir. Am I
wrong about you? I don't make may posts on the hedir and I guess this is why
the majority of people on the hedir do not respond often either. What may be
a genuine concern about a topic or issue for some seems outlandish and
ridiculous to others.

Far be it from me to "withhold" anything from all the "Holier Than Thou"
Health Educators in hedir land and else where around the world. You are
right though, there really hasn't been a eclectic thought in Health
Education in quite some time.

Bill, re-read my hedir post, In my first sentence I said I thought the ppt
clearinghouse was a good idea, but there are a few things I wanted to
address about it.

I don't remember mentioning anything in my email about student's "moral
decay".

I am not in favor of "denying" anyone any opportunity that might come their
way, as long as they 'work" for it. That is, do their own work, not go to a
ready made project and turn it in as their own.

As far as student's ethical standards go, as much as I would like to thing
other wise, unfortunately I believe very few students are above reproach
these days in regards to doing their own creative work.

Dear HEDIR:

I need some help.  I'm researching health advocacy training.  I'm looking
for a few websites and training packages.  I'm wondering if there is a
national organization dedicated to training health advocates (e.g. American
Public Health Association).  Likewise, any suggested articles on advocate
training is appreciated.  Thanks for the help.

** Special IEJHE Issue:  http://www.iejhe.siu.edu

William and Others Offended,

    I am sorry if my observation on the risk of students stealing ppt
presentations from the HEDIR pool and submitting them as their own came
across as critical and sarcastic.  Mea culpa (which is pardon me in
Latin).

    It seems to me that one of the most basic things we teach our
students and promote in the communities we serve is networking and
sharing knowledge and resources.  It seems terribly incongruent to
demand that each product a student submits be completely original.
There are few places in human civilization where truly original work is
possible, even when it is highly valued and rewarded.  I am skeptical
that the sentences and phrases we credit to other authors are their
original thoughts.  The old adage, "There is nothing new under the sun,"
seems closer to the truth.

    I am less concerned about a student coming up with something
original than I am that they search the landscape for good examples of
the "thing" they are trying to produce.  Typically, they borrow a few
ideas from others and build a better "thing."  That is typically what
the others from whom they borrow the ideas did.
As long as the student gathers information, analyzes it, and puts their
own spin or twist on the "thing," I am pleased with their performance.
If a student were to review ppt presentations from the HEDIR pool,
select the best or most appropriate of the ones reviewed, modify it to
meet their own needs, and submit it for grading, I would applaud the
performance.  This would show resourcefulness on the part of the
student.  When this student goes into the community to practice, I would
expect her or him to be similarly skillful in guiding community leaders
to resources like the HEDIR ppt presentation pool to meet their needs.

    Independent scholarship may have some merit in the artificial
environment of the ivory tower, but collaboration, cooperation, and
sharing of ideas are far more important for solving community problems.
Let us not deny the richness of the ppt presentation pool to HEDIRs out
of concern that some resourceful students will gain access to it.

    Bill

Eta Sigma Gamma had a special issue of their journal devoted to
advocacy issue this past spring.

The American School Health Association will have a post conference
session on Saturday afternoon, October 28 on advocating for
school health programs.  One presenter is a professional
lobbyist, another works for the National Conference of
State Legislatures.  For information on the conference and post
conference, see our web site www.ashaweb.org.

APHA has an Advocacy manual.

The major health education professional organizations sponsor a
Health Education Advocacy Summit in Washington each spring.
We have held three so far.  The even includes 1 - 1 1/2 days of
training followed by visits to the Hill. SOPHE has taken considerable
leadership on this event.

Both ASHA and AAHE have advocacy alert networks, that people
are free to join if they want to be informed of national issues that
might interest health educators.

The Department of Health Sciences at The University of Alabama has
developed and implemented a Master of Arts program in Health Studies
using a variety of distance education technologies.

This 30 semester hour program focuses on the process needed to design,
implement and
evaluate health education and health promotion programs. It is
the same curricula offered to resident instruction students.
By August, more than 100 students will have graduated from this
program. In contrast, some students choose to complete
course work for transfer to other institutions. The program has proven
to be a flexible format for students who are location and time-
bound, but are interested in pursuing graduate study in health
education.

For more information on this program, visit our web site at
www.ches.ua.edu/health or call us at 888-207-3111.

When I taught this class it was not only the size, but the differences in
the grade levels of the prospective teachers. There is a big difference
between elementary health education and high school. I would recommend that
any groupings be by grade level (Primary, Upper Elem, MS or High School).

Also -- you can assign teachers to look at the web site for teachers that is
off the WebMD site. There are almost 300 lessons K-12 in 9 content areas.
The lessons all are linked to the National Standards and to assessment. And,
they are free. There is a wealth of methodology that can be gleaned for your
class.

To build on Kathleen's comment, I bring specific curriculum
materials/projects that represent the different grade levels in the class.
In small groups, the grade levels work to "pull apart" the curriculum
materials, complete a "materials lab" sheet of questions, and then teach
something to the whole class from the curriculum materials.  That way,
students get grade specific time with materials, but the class gets to see
the whole range of activities/learning strategies available for health
education.  My students like to point out that I seldom bring a textbook and
ask if that is intentional!  I think I've seen too many too old textbooks in
schools and want to offer more current materials.  Margo
