Study Notes
Public Health and Social Behavioral Sciences
- The development of social and behavioral sciences in the 19th century is closely connected to the development of public health.
- Both fields share a belief that understanding social forces and individual behavior can be used to improve individual and societal well-being.
- Early public health reformers advocated for social justice and saw public health as an integral aspect of it.
- Developed countries with lower income disparities tend to have longer life expectancies than countries with greater income disparities, this suggests a strong connection between socioeconomic factors and health status.
- Education level is a better predictor of life expectancy than income, highlighting the importance of education in promoting health.
Socioeconomic Determinants of Health
- The Gini index measures economic inequality in a population, with higher values indicating greater inequality.
- Higher income inequality among developed countries is strongly associated with higher mortality rates.
Vaccine Acceptance & Behavior Change
- Public health efforts to increase vaccine acceptance face challenges, including individual resistance and legal controversies.
- Innovation in vaccine delivery methods (nasal sprays, pills, skin patches) is being explored to improve acceptance.
- Evaluating the effectiveness of interventions aimed at changing behavior is crucial.
PRECEDE-PROCEED Planning Framework
- It's a comprehensive framework for designing and evaluating health education and promotion programs.
- The framework includes nine steps divided into two phases:
- PRECEDE: focuses on diagnosis through data collection and analysis.
- PROCEED: focuses on implementation and evaluation of interventions.
- The PRECEDE-PROCEED framework is a useful tool for addressing public health issues like gun violence.
