Abstract:
The purpose of the thesis was to explore the issues surrounding the cost and implementation of prevention. Specifically, methods for determining cost-effectiveness and measuring the health benefits conferred from prevention were explored and services that have been determined to be cost-effective were discussed. Through interviews with health care professionals, administrators, and public health professors, perceptions of the benefits and costs of prevention were explored. Barriers to the implementation of prevention were discussed. The thesis concludes with suggestions on steps that health care providers and policy-makers can take to improve the health of the U.S. population through prevention.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the use of dental services for young children following a preventive oral health intervention in a pediatric medical clinic. Over a 3 year period (2005-2008), children 0-36 months of age, enrolled in Medicaid, were provided preventive oral health services in a medical setting. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine the effect receiving the preventive oral health services in a medical setting with the outcomes of dental utilization. 15% were determined to have dental caries at the intervention and 42% found to have a dental visit post-intervention. Children determined to have decay at the intervention were significantly more likely to have one or more restorative or adjunctive service post-intervention. After receiving preventive oral health care in a medical clinic, the resulting utilization of dental services was higher than what is commonly reported for dental utilization in infant populations of low-income children.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to determine the needs of one marketing segment of clients seen in a contraceptive clinic in the Midwest. The marketing segment targeted for study was women with positive Pap smears. A comparison group of women with negative Pap smears was sampled from the same clinic during the time frame July 1, 1982, to July 1, 1984.Nine research questions were investigated. Responses have been reported relative to the following questions:1. Does the incidence of positive Pap smears depend on the presence of cervical infection a woman may have?2. Does the incidence of positive Pap smears depend on whether or not a woman smokes?3. Does the incidence of positive Pap smears depend on the type of contraceptive (pill or barrier) used by a woman?4. Does the incidence of positive Pap smears depend number of abortions experienced by a woman?5. Does the incidence of positive Pap smears depend on the number of pregnancies experienced by a woman?6. Does the incidence of positive Pap smears depend on whether the woman is white or black?7. Does the incidence of positive Pap age of the woman?8. Does the incidence of positive Pap smears depend on the smears depend on whether the woman is married or not?9. Does the incidence of positive Pap smears depend on the educational status of the woman?Five conclusions were drawn from findings of the study and were confined to the population for the study, clients of the selected clinic:1. Women with positive Pap smears are more likely to have infections than women with negative Pap smears.2. Women who have had abortions are more likely to have positive Pap smears.3. The incidence of positive Pap smears is associated with pregnancies; that is women with one or more pregnancies are more likely to have positive Pap smears.4. A higher proportion of black women have positive Pap smears than white women.5. Women with less education have more positive Pap smears than women with higher levels of education.<br>Department of Educational Administration and Supervision

Abstract:
<p> Early identification through preventive care screenings has proven to lessen the cost and impact of illness, while reducing premature mortality. Current literature has identified disparities related to access and utilization of preventive care services. The current assumption is that females have a higher likelihood to comply with recommended preventive care screenings than men. A variance identified in gender studies indicated women have a higher usage of preventive care screenings, and a higher use of overall medical services. The objective of this study is to understand if there is a predictive value of self-reported health status that can impact the utilization of preventive care services in women accessing a mammogram voucher program.</p><p> A convenience sample of 40 participants from the Mammogram Voucher Program administered by Adagio Health was surveyed. Using the RAND 36-Item Health Survey, participants&rsquo; self-rated health status was assessed. Demographic data and survey responses were compared with utilization of the mammogram voucher to ascertain if a correlation occurs. The survey results did not indicate, in this sample, that a relationship exists. However, demographic data indicated there is a relative impact on voucher utilization compared to self-perception. Specifically, the education level of the respondents yielded a statistically significant result. Participants with a reported education level of at least 12 years were found to be more likely to utilize a voucher while those with greater than 12 years of education did not. The lack of demonstrated statistical correlations for the self-rated health status questions do not necessarily prove a lack of relationship with utilization of preventative health care, rather suggests that demographics may influence preventive health care utilization more strongly. A larger sample size comparing additional factors will need to be studied.</p><p>

Abstract:
Community health services for pre-school children have been the major universal health provision for well-children for over a hundred years. Traditionally these services have been largely delivered by health visitors, who are now community nurses with a specialist post-graduate qualification. Preventive health services for children in the UK have been increasingly criticised as insufficiently evidence-based. Criticism has led to reform of national policy and subsequent major changes to existing services, particularly in targeting services to those with the highest health and social needs. The effect of these policy changes upon the service provided for pre-school children by health visitors is not known. This thesis explores the origins and development of children's preventive health services and examines the effect of post-1989 policy changes in practice, in particular the move to a predominately targeted child health promotion programme. The empirical study used a mixed methods approach to investigate changes to local policy and practice. A national survey was made of health visitors' child health promotion practice (n=1043) which was followed by an in-depth interview study (n=25) of health visitors' views on service changes. Study findings illuminate the effect of post-1989 reforms on child health services, showing a diversity of practice across the country, and resistance to key aspects of policy and practice among health visitors. Despite a revised national child health promotion programme being published in April 2008, which addresses some of the areas of concern highlighted by this study, flaws remain which have implications for the successful implementation of this programme. These flaws reflect wider contentious issues in NHS policy-making, related to the distribution of power and resources between different professional groups within the NHS and service users. Failing to explore these issues in policy and practice reduces the ability of preventive health services to maintain and improve pre-school children's health.

Abstract:
AbstractAn essential objective of preventive healthcare is to assess the lifestyle of citizens and identify those with health risk behaviors long time before they develop a lifestyle-related disease. In spite of lasting attempts to support preventive healthcare services in reaching individuals at risk through information campaigns, systematic health check programs, and more recently, data-driven approaches, citizens remain at a distance to the preventive healthcare services. The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the reasons for this distance between citizens and preventive care offers and the potential of quantified-self technologies for decreasing this. The analysis shows that while data-driven approaches to lifestyle assessment do assist preventive care services in screening a large population, they do not solve the fundamental challenge; that citizens are often challenged in relating to the risk assessment and in the consequences of their current behaviors on a long timescale. Based on these findings, two design implications are elicited to guide design of systems based on quantified-self to support early assessment and improvement of potentially unhealthy lifestyle, potentially improving health and quality of life in the long term.

Abstract:
Abstract Helping mothers of young families, with psychiatric problems, is one of the main challenges for the mental health services; it also provides one of the best opportunities for a preventive approach. At present one cannot take pride in the achievements of psychiatry in this area. There are no services which demonstrate a comprehensive therapeutic and preventive approach. Even in Britain, good services are islands in a sea of neglect. Pregnancy-related services are given a low priority compared with other psychia tric services, e.g. those for dementia, chronic psychosis or addictions.

Abstract:
Abstract The military spends billions of dollars annually on inspection and repair of damage resulting from corrosion of high value assets, including aircraft and support equipment. Currently available methods for identifying and preventing corrosion involve labor intensive scheduled inspections and maintenance that are costly and reduce asset availability. In order to increase overall safety, availability, and operational efficiency, an online monitoring system capable of fusing data streams from an array of environmental and corrosivity sensors has been developed. The sensing system has been designed to provide autonomous indications of corrosive severity throughout an airframe. The sensors, system design, and corrosivity classification methods are detailed. Results and analysis of the wireless, ultra-low power sensor network performance in laboratory tests and vehicle service environments are given. By providing a high level of visibility for corrosion within a structure the system can be used to improve asset management for corrosion prevention and control. Localized corrosion process such as pitting, crevice corrosion, exfoliation, and environment assisted cracking are difficult to detect and can significantly degrade structural integrity. A corrosion monitoring system that includes various environmental and corrosivity sensors is used to track component environmental exposure as a function of time. Corrosion diagnostic models based on measurements of exposure conditions, corrosion rate, and cumulative environmental severity can be embedded into the system for real-time corrosion evaluation. For given future environmental conditions, these models can be used to forecast and schedule inspection and maintenance activities. The system provides a clear indication of environmental severity, exposure conditions, and corrosion rates within a structure, and the embedded models contained within the system can provide maintainers direct access to understandable and actionable information. These capabilities allow for increased efficiencies in maintenance practices, leading to lower life cycle costs and increased asset availability.

Abstract:
Background: Implementation of organized programs for the prevention and early detection of malignant diseases in most developed countries has led to significant decrease in mortality from these diseases. Screening as a method of early detection of premalignant and malignant forms of the disease, in addition to a high chance of cure, also enables the application of sparing surgical interventions, faster recovery, reduced disability, better quality of life and reduction of treatment costs. Methods and Objectives: The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of challenges and future strategies in the prevention of malignant diseases. The cancer screening area is more closely regulated by the Law on Health Care and the Law on Health Insurance, which represent the basis for planning future strategies and considering all issues. National screening programs are in line with the Recommendation of the EU Council on Cancer Screening 2003: Three Regulations on the National Program for Early Detection of Breast, Cervical and Colorectal Cancer. Results: Responses to specific objectives from the Regulations for the National programs for the early detection of breast, cervical and colorectal cancer determined the activities that the Office focused on informing people and raising awareness of the importance of regular examinations, early cancer detection and the involvement of local self-government and citizens' associations in implementation of screening through health promotion activities; strengthening the capacity of health institutions to carry out screening in terms of providing a sufficient number of trained personnel and equipment relying on meeting the objectives of the Program for cancer control improvements in the Republic of Serbia for the period 2020-2022; establishment of a data collection and management system during screening and establishment of quality control services in screening through the construction of the Public Health Service Conclusion: In accordance with the recommendations of the WHO and The European Commission Initiative on Breast, Cervical and Colorectal Cancer, the future of prevention of all three malignant diseases is reflected in the introduction of artificial intelligence in the interpretation of screening mammograms, a new approach to screening in the form of supplementing the program with HPV testing, the acquisition of a mobile unit for preventive gynecological examinations, education of colonoscopists and acquisition of adequate equipment. Additionally, public health initiatives that promote healthy lifestyles-such as smoking cessation, healthy eating, and regular physical activity-will continue to play a crucial role. Engaging communities and fostering partnerships among stakeholders can enhance these initiatives, making them more effective. In conclusion, while challenges persist in the prevention of malignant diseases, ongoing research, technology integration, and community-focused strategies hold promise for a healthier future. Collaborative efforts will be key to overcoming barriers and improving the effectiveness of preventive measures.

Abstract:
Oxygen content in air is approximately 21% by volume. With many industrial uses, mainly in the manufacture of steel and chemicals, for metal cutting, welding ,hardening &amp; scarfing, it is being transported as a non-liquefied gas at pressures of 138 bar (13800000 Pa) or above, also as a cryogenic fluid at pressures and temperatures below 13.8bar (1380000 Pa) &amp; −146.5°C (126.65K). Commonly we found air separation plants produce ultra-pure oxygen (&gt; 99.9% purity) via liquefaction of atmospheric air and separation of the oxygen by fractionation and thereby transported to the needy areas via pipelines. The research efforts directed towards technical assessment to establish the correlations between valve construction and turbulence and solving the complications in the transported ultra-pure oxygen gas in the pipelines and through mounted valves. Hence, it is necessary to study the performance, complexities and fire hazards associated with the valves transporting it and the preventive measures to avoid any catastrophic failure in ultra-pure gaseous oxygen services. The study was conducted on two isolation valves — each of ball and globe of relative size. It was realized that velocities of the ultrapure gaseous oxygen on the impingement sites inside the valve are beyond the safe limit as recommended by European Industrial Gas Association (EIGA) [4] and various other prominent industrial gas manufacturers. Moreover, globe valve gave relatively less turbulence and velocity at initial opening of the valve. The study revealed that majority of health hazards &amp; accidents on industrial usage of ultra-pure gaseous oxygen media are the result of the inadequate awareness of the degreasing or cleaning and optimum material selection and construction of the valve and fittings on the industrial pipeline.

Abstract:
Background: In everyday life, it is considered that patronage services are delivered only to newborns and women who had given birth. Ministry of Health and Health Insurance Fund (HIF) regulated, that patronage should deliver services at least once a year, to small children at second and fourth year of life, pregnant women, women with high risk pregnancy if it is indicated by their gynecologist, as well as to adult population (19+) if it is indicated by their general practitioner including elderly people (65+) and persons with invalidity. This study aimed to analyze coverage of different age population groups in Serbia, with patronage preventive services in the Primary health care centers (PHCC) from 2018 to 2022. Methods: We used data obtained from HIF, as reports of patronage services from 2018 to 2022, through invoiced realization of health services of all primary health care centers in Serbia. Results: Data from five years (2018-2022) shows that newborns (including their mothers) as well as women with high risk pregnancy had the highest coverage by patronage services. For newborns those data ranged from 86% in 2018 to 97% in 2022, and for women with high risk pregnancy those data ranged from 92% in 2018 to 72% in 2022. Among other population groups, it is noticeable that adults (19+) and elderly people (65+) are less covered by patronage services. Those data showed that for elderly people (65+) coverage was less than 20%, while for adults (19+) was less than 10% in observed five years period. As we don't know the number of persons with invalidity, we couldn't analyze coverage of that group by patronage services. Conclusions: If we exclude newborns and women who had given birth as well as women with high risk pregnancy, other population groups are not sufficiently covered by patronage services.

Abstract:
Introduction: Cervical cancer, has been one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among the female population in Serbia. In Belgrade more than 4800 women are diagnosed with this disease and most cases in the age group between 40 - 59 years. Methods and objectives: The aim is to review the health promotion activities carried out in the period 2020-2024 on the occasion of the European Cervical Cancer Prevention Week by the Institute of Public Health Belgrade (hereinafter referred to as the Institute) and Belgrade primary health care institutions (hereinafter referred to as Belgrade PHC institutions). Descriptive data analysis is used to summarize and interpret collected data on health promotion activities. Results: The Institute's activities were implemented through the production of health promotion materials (10 info sheets, posters and video presentations), organizing and performing two health promotion events and overall coordination of the activities among PHC institutions in Belgrade. Online materials were also shared with the City Library, through the websites and portals. More than 16,000 printed leaflets were distributed to primary health care institutions in Belgrade. The Institute's activities were also oriented towards preparation and implementation of five accredited educational courses for health professionals. More than 200 participants from the Belgrade PHC institutions were attending these courses. Main topics were related to the importance of early detection of disease and HPV immunization. Conclusion: Different health promotion activities were implemented in Belgrade in order to increase awareness of population about effective preventive measures. Considering the importance of disease early detection and awareness of population about available services at PHC institutions, it is necessary to intensify promotional activities involving all partners in the community.

Abstract:
Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness, use, and implementation of telehealth for women’s preventive services for reproductive healthcare and interpersonal violence (IPV), and to evaluate patient preferences and engagement for telehealth, particularly in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Data sources. Ovid MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, Embase®, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases (July 1, 2016, to March 4, 2022); manual review of reference lists; suggestions from stakeholders; and responses to a Federal Register Notice. Review methods. Eligible abstracts and full-text articles of telehealth interventions were independently dual reviewed for inclusion using predefined criteria. Dual review was used for data abstraction, study-level risk of bias assessment, and strength of evidence (SOE) rating using established methods. Meta-analysis was not conducted due to heterogeneity of studies and limited available data. Results. Searches identified 5,704 unique records. Eight randomized controlled trials, one nonrandomized trial, and seven observational studies, involving 10,731 participants, met inclusion criteria. Of these, nine evaluated IPV services and seven evaluated contraceptive care, the only reproductive health service studied. Risk of bias was low in one study, moderate in nine trials and five observational studies, and high in one study. Telehealth interventions were intended to replace usual care in 14 studies and supplement care in 2 studies. Delivery modes included telephone (5 studies), online modules (5 studies), and mobile applications (1 study), and was unclear or undefined in five studies. There were no differences between telehealth interventions to supplement contraceptive care and comparators for rates of contraceptive use, sexually transmitted infection, and pregnancy (low SOE); evidence was insufficient for abortion rates. There were no differences between telehealth IPV services versus comparators for outcomes measuring repeat IPV, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, fear of partner, coercive control, self-efficacy, and safety behaviors (low SOE). The COVID-19 pandemic increased telehealth utilization. Barriers to telehealth interventions included limited internet access and digital literacy among English-speaking IPV survivors, and technical challenges and confidentiality concerns for contraceptive care. Telehealth use was facilitated by strategies to ensure safety of individuals who receive IPV services. Evidence was insufficient to evaluate access, health equity, or harms outcomes. Conclusions. Limited evidence suggests that telehealth interventions for contraceptive care and IPV services result in equivalent clinical and patient-reported outcomes as in-person care. Uncertainty remains regarding the most effective approaches for delivering these services, and how to best mobilize telehealth, particularly for women facing barriers to healthcare.

Abstract:
Growing exposure to risk factors in combination with low levels of access to preventive care are increasing unmet health needs. LAC has been experiencing a "nutrition transition" towards less healthy diets. Thirty to sixty percent of the region's population does not achieve the minimum recommended levels of physical activity and obesity is rising rapidly. Inadequate access to high quality health services, including clinical prevention and diagnostic services and difficult access to essential medicines are significant contributing factors to the growing burden of chronic disease.

Abstract:
We evaluate the effectiveness of sending text messages to pregnant women containing appointment reminders and suggestions for healthy behaviors during pregnancy. Receiving messages had an overall positive effect of 5 percent on the number of prenatal care visits attended. Moreover, for women who live close to their assigned health center and who have higher educational attainment, the intervention positively affected vitamin intake compliance, APGAR scores, and birth weight. Evidence suggests that reminders are more effective among those who are more able to understand the future benefits of preventive care (more educated) and who face lower transaction costs of going to prenatal care checkups (located near health centers). No evidence of geographical spillover effects was found.

Abstract:
Physical distancing restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the uptake of virtual options for prevention providers and clinical service provision in general. In this paper, we bring together experiences from the HEAL Prevention Cooperative, a unique cohort of research projects representing a continuum of care from community-level promotion to indicated prevention with older adolescents and young adults to increase access to services to prevent opioid misuse. We offer options that preventionists and other providers can implement or continue to use to expand access to youth and families who experience difficulty accessing opioid-related preventive services and supports. We also discuss challenges in implementing physical distancing adaptations that were required to operate during the pandemic. We discuss intervention adaptations along four pillars useful for providers and researchers: connecting with partners, recruitment, prevention service provision, and data collection and evaluation. We also provide recommendations for health professionals and practitioners and for future research.

Abstract:
Private providers have become an important source of health care in Latin America, yet there is still little documentation on them, especially regarding their role as providers of preventive and public health interventions. This paper uses Demographic and Health Surveys from various Latin American countries to compare the effectiveness of the private and public sectors in providing prenatal care. Although the number of prenatal visits is higher in the private sector, this is not accompanied by better delivery outcomes. We discuss different strategies to improve the role of private providers.

Abstract:
This paper studies the effect of ambulatory and hospital coinsurance rates on HACSC among individuals with private insurance in Chile. During the last decade, Chile's private health sector has experienced a dramatic increase in its hospitalization rates, growing at four times the rate of ambulatory visits (see graph 1). Such evolution has raised concern among policy makers, interested in promoting more preventive services, and a major use of ambulatory care. The growth on the prevalence of chronic diseases has also set up the alarm. A burden disease study made in 2007 shows that 84% of the total diseases in the country were non-communicable diseases (Universidad Católica de Chile, 2008). The 2003 National Health Survey showed that only a small fraction of those affected by a chronic disease had their condition under control (Bitrán et al, 2010). In this context, coinsurance can be a valuable tool for dealing with cost escalating problems in the health system while, at the same time, promoting more ambulatory visits and preventive services and less HCSC.

Full text
Abstract:
Contracting out of health services is a formal contractual relationship between the government and a non state provider to provide a range of clinical or preventive services to a specified population. A contract document usually specifies the type, quantity and period of time during wich the services will be provided on behalf of the government. Contracting in is the contracting of external management to run public services, which is another particular type of contracting.

Abstract:
ince the early 1990s, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has broadly supported health sector reforms in Mongolia. This paper describes primary health care (PHC) in Mongolia and ADB support in its reform. It highlights results achieved and the lessons drawn that could be useful for future programs in Mongolia and other countries. PHC reform in Mongolia aimed at facilitating a shift from hospital-based curative services toward preventive approaches. It included introducing new management models based on public–private partnerships, increasing the range of services, applying more effective financing methods, building human resources, and creating better infrastructure. The paper outlines remaining challenges and future directions for ADB support to PHC reform in the country.
