The government has implied these important preventions for the
public and
community. The government has played its role very well in
reforming and taking
actions on the public and hospitals for the health safety of the
public. The next step is
to spread awareness in people and people should fight and strive
for the prevention
of the AIDS. The government have also taken steps for the
organizations which are
as follows:
· They have provided all the human resource services.
38. · Budgets for tracking within system of accounting · Transfer of
funds to other
agencies · Providing technology, office space and
communication services.

Leading Versus Actual Cause of Death
Imagine a type 2 diabetic patient comes to the hospital with
extremely low blood sugar. After the patient has
been stabilized, it is discovered that the patient has not had a
decent meal in three days; the patient is
homeless, living in a high risk community, is unemployed, and
does not have an emergency person to call.
The patient’s type 2 diabetes or medical issue is being
controlled in the hospital, but how will his social issues
be handled, which in part affect his medical outcome?
When pondering on the social determinants of health, in reality
no one determinant is exclusively responsible
for a particular health risk or situation. Social factors usually
make up a complex system of causes and
effects, including biological or genetic factors, which
eventually lead to health outcomes.
While public health officials have focused on infectious disease
in the past, the late 20th century proved that
chronic diseases are on the rise. Heart diseases and cancer, for
example, are the top listed causes of death
in the 21st century, causing public health officials to rethink
strategies of reducing disease in the community
60. (Schneider, 2017). Researchers started to look at the root cause
and not just the leading cause of disease
that results in morbidity and/or mortality.
Researchers began to focus on the genetic and external factors,
including tobacco use, physical inactivity,
poor diet, alcohol abuse, education, and drug abuse, among
other things. This approach brought them to the
actual causes of death, including risky sexual behavior, toxic
agents, firearms, and motor vehicles. For
example, someone in the community could come from an
abusive home. As a result, he starts abusing
tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. He is also on a poor diet because of
his lifestyle and because he cannot keep a
job due to his addictions. Later on, he contracts lung cancer as a
result of his smoking. He falls into
depression and finally commits suicide using a firearm. In a
situation like this, his leading cause of death
would be cancer and depression, but the root or actual cause of
his death would be trauma experienced as a
child; abuse of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco; poor diet; and
firearm.
A breakdown below shows the actual causes of death in present
communities. While this is not an exhaustive
list, it shows how long-term problems and the environment
could lead to many problems:
rdiovascular diseases;
diseases, and cancer;
work injuries, and liver diseases;
61. ncer; and
- and/or
short-term disability.
Reducing Human Health Due to Health Behavior Through
Education and Regulation
Education is extremely important in the quest for a healthy
community. Many people have changed their lifestyles to
healthy ones as a result of education or information about
healthier options, often from a public health official or public
health information. For example, some quit smoking after the
Surgeon General’s office linked smoking to the cause of many
cancer-related fatalities in 1964 (Schneider, 2017). Another
example is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Study, (Education), and Health Care
(Palex66, 2015)

62. requirement for all foods to include labels containing the daily
nutritional value per serving of the prepared
food (Schneider, 2017).
In the last four decades, sex education has been important, yet it
has been controversial among public health
officials and policy makers in the United States (Hall, Sales,
Komro, & Santelli, 2016). With the rising concern
of adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted illnesses,
mainly HIV/AIDS, public health officials have
looked for ways to curb the pandemic (Hall et al., 2016). One of
the ways is through sexual and reproductive
health education classes in schools and communities on
condoms, contraception, and sexually transmitted
infections (STIs).
While education has proven to be successful, there are still
limitations as to who receives the information in
school, and there is controversy as to what is appropriate
content for education in schools (Schneider, 2017).
Texas, for example, has ranked in the top five in the nation for
the highest number of teen births since 2015.
Martin, Hamilton, Osterman, Driscoll, and Drake (2018) posited
that data from Texas showing 31 births per
1,000 women between ages 15-19. More than 80% of school
districts in Texas offer no sex education or
provide abstinence only education (Weissert, 2017). Research
has shown that children provided with sex
education are more proactive than those without sex education.
Another example showing that education
could address problems in society is smoking. As explained
above, smoking has decreased in the United
States due to education, but an alarming one in five people still
smoke (Schneider, 2017).
Education has been extended to advertising. Commercials on
63. television on smoking, driving without a seat
belt, driving while using your phone, and the HPV vaccine are
tools public health officials have used to
educate the communities about certain diseases and behaviors in
the community. One striking video from the
Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is Terrie’s
video of how she was diagnosed with oral and
throat cancer after smoking for most of her life.

Please note: This video includes a very ill woman. If this

Health education is also delivered during doctor visits or by a
doctor recommending a community education
outreach program. Many more physicians are encouraged to
promote patient education and engagement to
improve health literacy specifically on diseases that have been
diagnosed or could potentially be diagnosed
(Paterick, Patel, Tajik, & Chandrasekaran, 2017). When patients
are said to be pre-diabetic, for example, their
physician could educate and try to establish a rapport with them
and make sure that they understand their
health and how to change certain lifestyles, especially eating
healthier and exercising more. The physician
may also refer them to a nutritionist or dietitian to assist in that
process.
64. Every government tries to regulate the behavior of their
communities through the passing and enforcement of
laws. Traffic laws, for example, are meant to reduce the number
of road accidents. Other laws restrain
tobacco and alcohol use in certain areas and during certain
periods (Schneider, 2017). Driving under the
influence and smoking at restaurants or in public areas are
serious crimes, since both can cause harm to
another person.
Like any other laws, there is always some controversy. Many
people attribute gun violence to mental health
rather than the easy ability to purchase guns, the types of guns
purchased, and the first amendment rights to
regulate who can own what type of guns. While these
controversies arise, public health officials are always
working with the government to make sure that the good of the
community is preserved at the end of the day.
One controversy that plagued the late 19th century and the early
20th century was the U.S. Government's
attempt to pass prohibition laws. The prohibition laws attempted
to ban alcohol due to its connection with so
many atrocities in the society like violence, liver problems, and
accidents at work, at home, and on roads

Title
(Schneider, 2017). Despite the efforts by the government to
regulate these unhealthy behaviors, poor diets,
physical inactivity, smoking, and reckless firearm use are still
on the rise.
Dealing With the Social Determinants of Health and Minority
Populations
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are conditions in the
places where a community lives, learns, works,
and plays, and they encompass how that environment
contributes to health risks and outcomes (CDC, n.d.-b).
A poverty-stricken community will have limited access to safe
neighborhoods and healthy foods. Education
rates might also be low as a result of the poverty-stricken area.
Some SDOH include low or no income, poor
education, unstable or poor housing, unsafe neighborhoods, and
unhealthy food. Five determinants of health
generally recognized by Healthy People 2020 include health
services, social environments, physical
environment, individual behavior, and biological or genetic
factors (Office of Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion [ODPHP], n.d.). While working on these SDOH, it
would also be important to work on health equity
and health disparity.
Health disparities are simply impediments that are historically
connected to discrimination or exclusion due to
geographic location, ethnicity or race, religion, mental health,
socioeconomic status, gender, and sexual
66. orientation (CDC, n.d.-b). In 2014 for example, there were
about 14 per 100,000 people diagnosed with
HIV/AIDS, and Blacks or African Americans weighed in at
about 50% (CDC, n.d.-a). In the same year, more
than 55% of patients infected with gonorrhea were diagnosed
among African Americans.
Healthy People 2020 defines health equity as attaining the
highest level of health for an entire community
(ODPHP, n.d.). This would mean everyone in the community
would be equally valued while avoiding
inequalities and contemporary and historical injustice while also
eliminating health disparities.
Socioeconomic status (SES) is an ultimate health predictor. It is
a concept that encompasses occupational
status, education, and income, which most of the time are
intertwined. SES accounts for most of the
differences in health by marital status, race, and gender as well
as education and health insurance. It is
believed that education is the key to healthy behaviors. For
example, 25% of those without a high school
diploma smoked, which is much higher than the rate of those
with at least a bachelor’s degree at 7%
(Schneider, 2017). In addition, 15-20% of the population who
have low SES lack health insurance.
In the United States, ethnicity and race play a role in the overall
health of the population. Life expectancy, for
example, is about 75 years for Blacks, while it is about 79 years
for Whites (Schneider, 2017). Moreover,
Black men die at 2.3 times the rate of White men with prostate
cancer. These SES disparities make it
extremely difficult for public health interventions to be
implemented.
67. Those with low SES are also prone to high levels of stress and
lack of social support, particularly within their
communities. Stress, for example, is a major contributor to
cardiovascular diseases (Schneider, 2017).
Stressors, like large amounts of debt or lack of money, issues
with childcare, unsafe neighborhoods,
undependable cars, and others, contribute to unhealthy habits
due to frustration or depression.
Applying Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Models and
Theories
Public health cannot necessarily change SES status, social
networks/support, and stressors in life, but public
health officials need to understand these SES statuses in order
to provide better interventions for the
community. That usually involves applying theories and
ecological models of health behavior.
The two major theories of health behavior used are the health
belief model and the transtheoretical model of
change. These models are aimed at recognizing factors that
influence people’s health behaviors and using
those factors to identify the likelihood that individuals would
engage in particular behaviors. Such behaviors
include understanding the severity of the change needed and
making those changes. An example is the video
of people suffering from consequences of smoking as seen in
Terrie’s video. These videos play with the
psychological part of individuals’ minds.
The ecological model points specifically to interpersonal
communications, social environment, community,
public policy, and organizational factors that will encourage
healthy or unhealthy behaviors. It does not just
focus on individual factors that could cause unhealthy behaviors
68. but also on the environment. For example,
an individual may be debating about being screened for a
mammogram. Then she may talk to a friend who
PUH 5301, Public Health Concepts 5
UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
encourages her to. Then her doctor will refer her to resources in
the community that will assist her in
preparing for the mammogram exam. Then her insurance will
also make sure that it is included in her physical
free of charge. All these factors would contribute to whether she
decides to screen for the exam or not.
Conclusion
Health is a correlation of behavior and attitudes, so public
health officials should be able to understand what
would influence individuals to live healthy or unhealthy lives.
Effective public health interventions should be
able to influence individuals’ beliefs to a certain degree so that

rates of HIV/AIDS transmission in that
community. This is because the intervention focused on the
69. SDOH in the community before implementing the
intervention.
