HCA 415: Community and Public Health

This is a continuation of your final project, which you started in Week 3. This last piece involves an analysis of how your individual’s contribution from the past continues to contribute to today’s public health system and how it might guide future work within the industry. As you recall, in week 3, you researched an individual and their contribution to community and public health. To begin, you need to review the feedback given to you from Week 3. Then, make the necessary revisions to Part I of this project. Then, you will be adding the second half to your project.  Follow this outline to help formulate your paper or presentation:  ACTION: Make sure you review all the feedback from your Week 3 (Part I) assignment and apply any necessary revisions. Your week 3 assignment should have included each of the following elements: • GRADED ELEMENT : Describe your selected person’s experience • GRADED ELEMENT : Analyze the climate of the time period in terms of political, socioeconomic, environmental and technological context in which this person worked. • GRADED ELEMENT : Examine the personal beliefs of your person that prompted this work. • GRADED ELEMENT : Examine how this individual overcame any adversities to succeed in his/her task. • GRADED ELEMENT : Describe the final outcome of this individual’s contribution to community and/or public health. • GRADED ELEMENT : Explain what his/her contribution did for overall community and/or public health at the time. • GRADED ELEMENT : Explain why this contribution was so important at that particular point in history.  ACTION: Think about the individual’s contribution to community/public health • GRADED ELEMENT : Analyze the impact of your individual’s contribution on today’s public health system. ◦HELP: You are asking “what happened as a result of this contribution at the national and community level?” For example, some elements you could address include: ◾did it change attitudes ◾did it change protocols and policies ◾did behavior change result ◾did it add/eliminate laws • GRADED ELEMENT : Analyze how this contribution is still relevant today ◦ HELP: Was this contribution only applicable at the time it occurred, or is it still applied today? Why or why not? Explain your response • GRADED ELEMENT : Examine how this contribution could support or be expanded for future community and public health benefits ◦ HELP: Using solid critical thinking, look at the historical value of the contribution and examine how it could be used for the future (is it applicable to another health issue, can it lead to more policy change, could it promote advocacy work or public health laws, etc.)  You have a choice of which format you wish to present your findings:  Format 1: Written Paper •Must be at least 6 pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. •Must include a separate title page with the following: ◦Title of paper ◦Students name ◦Course name and number ◦Instructor’s name ◦Date submitted •Must use at least eight scholarly sources (one of those may be the course text). •Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. •Must include a separate reference page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Review And Respond To This Post

 Review  and respond   on the neurobiological basis for the disorder that your classmate has described as well as at least one current and relevant research study related to diagnosis or treatment of the disorder below .
 
I have chosen a basal ganglia disease call Huntington’s disease. Basal ganglion is a part of the brain that controls motion (U.S. National Library of Medicine, 2017). Symptoms are caused by disease or injury to the brain. The Basal ganglia affects the body’s motor system. Huntington’s disease is caused by the degeneration of the caudate nucleus and the putamen. Unlike Parkinson’s disease, which restricts movement, Huntington’s cause uncontrollable movement. Huntington disease is usually genetic or hereditary. (Carlson, 2012)
Huntington’s disease defect lies on the 4th Chromosome. Interestingly the DNA of HD repeats itself almost 4 times as much as normal DNA and it is hereditary the chances of the person developing symptoms at an early age increases.(U.S. National Library of Medicine, 2017)
HD has many symptoms the obvious movement to behavior problems, cognition and abnormal interpretation social interactions just to name a few. As study in focused on how the mind is impaired by Huntington’s disease and the aspects of theory of mind and a larger cognitive impairment on the social level and the patient perspective. They study showed how the disease affected their perspective and how their actions were deteriorating in social settings. (Eddy, C. M., Mahalingappa, S. S., & Rickards, H. E.; 2014)
To Diagnose HD data from MRI’s are used. There is a test that is administered to help diagnose Huntington’s Disease it is call the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS)29. The test assesses motor function and cognition. There are 31 signs assessed for motor and three task for cognition. The higher the scores the on the motor skills the higher the chances of motor impairment; the reverse is the case for the cognition assessment. (Duff, K., PhD., Paulsen, J. S., PhD., Beglinger, L. J., PhD., etc . . . 2010).
As with most degenerative disease there is no concrete cure there are medicine’s and therapies to help with some symptoms such as dopamine which is used in other ganglia disease as well. (Wichmann, T., DeLong, M., & DeLong, M. R.; 2016). Recent research has tried stem cell augmentation with positive therapeutic potential. The key is to know what stage the patients HD is in order to be helpful. (Crane, A. T., Rossignol, J., & Dunbar, G. L., 2014). Stem Cell research is still one that is new to the community when it comes to genetics’ and treatment but as it continues to be proven to if no else but prolong the life of individuals with cellular and disorders maybe it will become more common place.
All of this information is important because the life expectancy after diagnosis is usually no more than 10 to 15 years. (Carlson, 2012)The early the diagnosis HD and research and treatment could prove to not only prolong the life of individuals but give those with the gene a choice life decisions may be to the point of elimination of the genetic disorder as a whole.

How To Present Your Credentials

Answer both questions each a minimum of 250 words with references and in-text citations. Please read and answer each part of question (1) and (2).
1. Psychology professionals need to avoid giving false information. One example is someone saying he is a psychologist with a Ph.D. when he only has a master’s degree. What areas will a professional in the field need to be aware of when advertising? What information is acceptable according to the Code and what information is seen as a violation of the Code? Once you have this first question answered, think about the field of I/O psychology. How will advertising affect your own personal and professional role in the field? Give examples.
(2) Psychology professionals are often asked to give presentations, whether in their communities or at state or national conferences. This is a great honor. Professionals are also often interviewed after state or national conventions by the media. Imagine the following situation: You are excited to see your name in print for the first time. You pick up the paper to read the article about your presentation. The author has stated that you have a Web-based counseling service and has listed the site. Because of your association with the group you just presented for, the article states that your expertise is in forensics and that you give free advice to those in need. In reality, your expertise is in substance abuse.
What effect could this article have on you as a member of APA? What issues arise with regard to the Ethics Code? What would your course of action be after reading this article and noticing the discrepancy? Can you think of any other areas in your field of interest that have the potential to become misrepresented? What can you do to avoid such issues?
