Trotter Review
The Summer 1995 issue of the Trotter Review, "Public Health and Communities of Color: Challenges and Strategies," provides a range of essays and two personal commentaries on facets of public health, race, and ethnicity in urban America. The essays are written by scholars and activists familiar with public health and issues of race, access, and diversity. The first article is the Executive Summary of the Institute of Medicine's national report, Balancing the Scales of Opportunity: Ensuring Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Health Professions. This report focuses on the problem of underrepresentation of Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans in the …
Can The Health Needs Of African American Men Be Met Through Public Health Empowerment Strategies?, Deborah Prothrow-Stith, Eric Whitaker
Can The Health Needs Of African American Men Be Met Through Public Health Empowerment Strategies?, Deborah Prothrow-Stith, Eric Whitaker
Trotter Review
Health promotion and disease prevention efforts, which use empowerment strategies and emphasize community control, are essential to overcoming the legacy of medical malfeasance and successfully improving the health status of black males. This discussion depicts the legacy of harm and presents the case for empowerment strategies; it also describes one Boston community-based program example of utilizing an empowerment strategy and concludes with a challenge to all health professionals to become enablers of empowerment rather than obstructions to it.
Social And Environmental Factors In Lung Cancer Mortality In Post-War Poland, Halina Szejnwal Brown, Robert Goble, Henryk Kirschner
Social And Environmental Factors In Lung Cancer Mortality In Post-War Poland, Halina Szejnwal Brown, Robert Goble, Henryk Kirschner
Sustainability and Social Justice
Poland and other Eastern European countries have undergone heavy industrial development with marked increases in air pollution and occupational exposure in the nearly 50 years since World War II. These countries have also experienced substantial increases in chronic disease mortality in the past three decades. While it is tempting to assume a direct association between these phenomena, more detailed analyses are called for. Poland offers a potentially rich opportunity for comparing geographical patterns of disease incidence and of industrial change. In this paper we 1) elucidate the prospects for attributing lung cancer mortality to industrial emissions in Poland, using an …
Quantitative Economic Evaluations Of Hiv-Related Prevention And Treatment Services: A Review, David R. Holtgrave, Ronald O. Valdiserri, Gary A. West
Quantitative Economic Evaluations Of Hiv-Related Prevention And Treatment Services: A Review, David R. Holtgrave, Ronald O. Valdiserri, Gary A. West
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Holtgrave and colleagues at the CDC set forth an extensive taxonomy of HIV prevention and treatment services and review reports of efforts to subject some of those services to formal economic evaluation. They find few services thus far to have been so evaluated, no evaluation to have focused solely upon behavioral outcomes and most economic evaluations to lack formal quantitative analyses.
'Environment' As A Social Concern: Democratising Public Arenas In Singapore?, Lily Kong
'Environment' As A Social Concern: Democratising Public Arenas In Singapore?, Lily Kong
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
This paper explores the question of who defines the agenda of environmental concerns in Singapore. It argues that the state plays an inordinately large role in defining the agenda and implementing the solutions. Few other competing environmental agendas have been set in alternative public arenas. While this has worked generally well in Singapore, there are larger roles for environmental groups, businesses and industries, and other bodies to play. It is in the enlarged roles of these bodies that the hope for a greater democratization of public arenas in Singapore lies.

Risk And Rationality: The Centers For Disease Control And The Regulation Of Hiv-Infected Health Care Workers, Mary Anne Bobinski
Risk And Rationality: The Centers For Disease Control And The Regulation Of Hiv-Infected Health Care Workers, Mary Anne Bobinski
Faculty Articles
The publicity surrounding the Bergalis case has created a new and powerful fear for some-the fear of contracting a fatal disease while obtaining medical or dental care. Following Bergalis' congressional testimony, Congress passed a bill requiring states to regulate HIV-infected health care workers (HCWs). Responding to constituents' fears, state legislatures had already been debating a wide range of bills designed to confront the risk of HIV transmission in health care settings. Private actors, such as hospitals and insurers, feared litigation or loss of business if the public perceived them to be ignoring the problem of HIV infection among HCWs. As …

Technical Bulletins: Cities And The Hazardous Right To Know Law, Harold R. Yungmeyer
MTAS Publications: Technical Bulletins
Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) 50-3-2001- 2019, the Hazardous Chemical Right-To-Know Law, became a law in 1985. The stated purpose of the law was to "provide access to information regarding hazardous chemicals to enhance the ability of manufacturing and non-manufacturing workers to minimize hazardous exposure to such chemicals; to provide information to emergency personnel to protect the public health, safety and welfare; and to provide information to citizens to enable them to make informed decisions regarding their safety, health, and welfare." This Technical Bulletin goes over the main points of the law and its implications for cities.

Cleaning Downtown Can Lead To Improved Services, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The newly formed Downtown Providence Improvement Association has a simple goal--to clean the center of the capital city. The DPIA is taking on a commendable and necessary task, one which is long overdue, in what is likely one of the dirtiest and scruffiest downtowns in this part of the country.

The Role Of The Health Aide In A Reservation Program, Peter Hackett
The Role Of The Health Aide In A Reservation Program, Peter Hackett
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
This study of the training and use of health aides in an Indian reservation community program suggests that the success of such a program depends on certain characteristics of both the community and the program. Comparison of this program with sociological studies of other community health programs which failed suggests that the definition of "community" must be confined to the group beset with pressing health problems that cannot be met without assistance from the larger community. Participation in conducting the program by representatives of the recipient community also appears essential to success.
Rabies Control, Victor C. Hobday
Rabies Control, Victor C. Hobday
MTAS History
This bulletin deals with a subject that frequently deserves more attention from municipal officials than it receives. Most cities probably have inadequate control measures to guard against the danger of rabies, and quite often the problem is overlooked entirely. Perhaps such a situation is the result primarily of lack of information - and it is this need that this bulletin attempts to meet by outlining effective measures and the reasons for taking action.
