DOWNLOAD EBOOKSection I: Abstract Problem: California's adolescents carry a significant burden of newly acquired sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and gaps in adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge have led to poor adolescent health outcomes. (CDE, 2019). Context: The California Healthy Youth Act (AB 329) was enacted on January 1, 2016, calling all school districts to ensure that all pupils receive comprehensive sexual health education, and HIV prevention education (CDE, 2019). In a proactive motion, parents from a northern California middle school approached a university to provide a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) student to instruct its sixth grade's SRH course. Intervention: A DNP student agreed to teach a SRH course with a mixed media method rather than a traditional lecture series to meet the requirements of this bill and the need of the community. Measures: This Quality Improvement (QI) project utilized a pre/post-test design to evaluate how effective the lessons are at influencing student SRH knowledge retention over five lessons in the spring school semester. Results: This teaching mixed media SRH course resulted in a 11.36% increase in adolescent SRH knowledge retention, built community bonds between the adolescent school and local university, and showcased that a DNP student is an ideal SHR instructor. Conclusion: To effectively engage adolescents and increase SRH knowledge retention, a mixed media teaching curriculum is effective. Additionally, a DNP student can help build knowledge within the community and improve adolescent health outcomes in community-based settings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdolescence is a time of major transition, however, health care services in the United States today are not designed to help young people develop healthy routines, behaviors, and relationships that they can carry into their adult lives. While most adolescents at this stage of life are thriving, many of them have difficulty gaining access to necessary services; other engage in risky behaviors that can jeopardize their health during these formative years and also contribute to poor health outcomes in adulthood. Missed opportunities for disease prevention and health promotion are two major problematic features of our nation's health services system for adolescents. Recognizing that health care providers play an important role in fostering healthy behaviors among adolescents, Adolescent Health Services examines the health status of adolescents and reviews the separate and uncoordinated programs and services delivered in multiple public and private health care settings. The book provides guidance to administrators in public and private health care agencies, health care workers, guidance counselors, parents, school administrators, and policy makers on investing in, strengthening, and improving an integrated health system for adolescents.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMore children born today will survive to adulthood than at any time in history. It is now time to emphasize health and development in middle childhood and adolescence--developmental phases that are critical to health in adulthood and the next generation. Child and Adolescent Health and Development explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life. The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scalable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasizing the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritizing actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKhe starting point for this guideline is the point at which a woman has learnt that she is living with HIV and it therefore covers key issues for providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights-related services and support for women living with HIV. As women living with HIV face unique challenges and human rights violations related to their sexuality and reproduction within their families and communities as well as from the health-care institutions where they seek care particular emphasis is placed on the creation of an enabling environment to support more effective health interventions and better health outcomes. This guideline is meant to help countries to more effectively and efficiently plan develop and monitor programmes and services that promote gender equality and human rights and hence are more acceptable and appropriate for women living with HIV taking into account the national and local epidemiological context. It discusses implementation issues that health interventions and service delivery must address to achieve gender equality and support human rights.
