    Study Notes

    Grassroots Movement

    • Grassroots movements originate from the community, not the government
    • Community-level initiatives like the Green Belt Movement in Kenya empower women, combat deforestation, and generate income
    • These movements often focus on self-determination, environmental conservation, social justice, and reducing poverty
    • Movements build up from a single individual to a national level
    • They work to improve community well-being, the environment, and sometimes challenge governmental policies

    Global Burden of Disease (GBD)

    • GBD measures total health loss from diseases and injuries, and their risk factors
    • It provides insights into the health status of different populations worldwide
    • Communicable diseases, maternal/neonatal/nutrition disorders, and non-communicable diseases, and injuries are major categories
    • GBD data compares disease patterns over time, by country, gender, or age
    • Data supports development goals by highlighting areas needing improvement

    Group 1: Communicable Diseases & Other Group 1

    • Communicable, maternal, neonatal, perinatal, and nutritional disorders
    • Concentrated in low-income populations due to inadequate healthcare access, especially preventative care
    • Affects 2 out of 10 global deaths

    Group 2: Non-Communicable Diseases

    • Includes coronary artery disease, cancer, and mental illness
    • Accounts for 7 out of 10 global deaths

    Group 3: Injuries

    • Includes car crashes, suicide, and war injuries
    • Accounts for 1 out of 10 global deaths

    Racial and Ethnic Differences

    • Men engage in more unsafe behaviors and have less support at work
    • Indigenous populations have lower likelihood of accessing medical treatment due to stigma and past discrimination

    Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)

    • A measure of overall disease burden
    • Years lost to ill health, disability, and/or early death
    • Calculated as YLD (years lived with disability) plus YLL (years of life lost)
    • YLL is calculated as the number of deaths multiplied by the difference between average life expectancy and the age at which death occurs

    Years Lived with Disability (YLD)

    • A measure of the total burden of disease within a population
    • Values range from 0 (perfect health) to 1 (death)
