Policy Committee
Update April 2012
  • New Policy review: Thanks and congratulations! We met our goal of having 2 section members review each policy. 22 different members contributed 48 reviews on 21 policies for an average of 2.3 reviews per policy. This is unprecedented in our section and the organization!
  • Old Policy archiving: we now need your help reviewing past policy and deciding whether to update or archive it. There are 42 policies from the 1950's era that need to be reviewed. They are very brief, often only abstracts; we need simply to make sure the policy is current, relevant, and not superseded by a more recent policy. Please check out the policies and email us at chppdpolicy@gmail.com to let us know which you are reviewing. We have until May 20th to complete these reviews. Here are the instructions and policies.

anurse1 Impact of violence on health and education. 0 Apr 17 2012, 11:42 PM EDT by anurse1
Thread started: Apr 17 2012, 11:42 PM EDT  Watch
In today's news, we are too often viewing the results of what violence and bullying can do in our schools. According to the American Public Health Association (APHA, 2011), approximately 160,000 students in grade K-12 are absent or leave school early due to bullying or violence. School is supposed to be a safe place where one can learn without the threat of being bullied or being beat up. APHA states that school violence and bullying can lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide. It is the result of poor grades and increased dropout rates. According to the APHA there is hope in the role of School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs). SBHCs play a vital role in preventing school violence, mitigating exposure to violence and facilitating overall school wellness. They provide early intervention programs to schools and communities in response to violent events. They restore safety and calm for school-aged children who have experienced violence or witnessed violence. APHA states that many times SBHCs contributions are overlooked but their efforts must be reframed so that educators understand thier vital role in preventing school violence and school dropout.

clschneider Childhood Obesity 0 Apr 16 2012, 12:44 PM EDT by clschneider
Thread started: Apr 16 2012, 12:44 PM EDT  Watch
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) the obesity prevalence among children and adolescents has tripled since 1980. One out of every seven low income children is considered obese, defined as a body mass index (BMI) over thirty. The obese child and adolescent is at an increased risk of so many disorders it boggles the mind. From heart disease to Type 2 diabetes and liver disease to asthma, the statistics are sobering. These children are also at increased risk for sleep apnea, depression and anxiety disorders. These statistics are not only alarming, but entirely preventable. Poor eating habits and decreased activity levels are the main culprits along with low socioeconomic status and ethnic practices. Each community and the nation as a whole should put this epidemic as a top priority and focus on putting a halt to childhood obesity. The key here is to determine the best possible ways to decrease these numbers and end this preventable problem for the sake of our children and society as a whole. Not only does their future depend on it, ours does as well.

JennyB143 Dementia: The Rising Global Epidemic 1 Apr 15 2012, 6:40 PM EDT by DebWitter
Thread started: Apr 12 2012, 12:21 PM EDT  Watch
The World Health Organization (WHO) just published a new report on the growing prevalence of dementia. They predict cases of dementia to triple by year 2050 worldwide. Furthermore, the WHO reveals that only 8 countries have national programs in effect that address this growing epidemic. Lack of proper diagnosing is cited as being a major problem as well with only one fifth to one half of cases recognized. Diagnosis is then not made until late stages of the disease, which leaves little room for progressive treatment. In attempt to remedy this dire situation, the WHO is directing and coordinating health reform within the United Nations System to implement programs that improve early diagnosis, raise public awareness, and provide better care to that afflicted. Hopefully through this initiative and others like it, we will see earlier diagnosis and treatment with better outcomes for people with dementia and related conditions worldwide.
