Currently, states create their own Medicaid policies that determine who qualifies for the program and what services are covered. Policies vary widely from state to state. Thus, due to current policies, the state that one lives in can definitely affect one's access to treatment and quality of healthcare. ]]> 2018-06-13 22:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week2/wish/267096792 Aspen Becker, 6/13/18, Environmental Health https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week2/wish/267111962 This is an article about a current study being done by the Colorado School of Public Health at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

Even with all the resources and evidence showing that vaccinations can only help a child, people are still believing the information from a single, now discredited, report and it is quickly jeopardizing the herd immunity that we have worked for so many years to establish. ]]> 2018-06-14 00:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week2/wish/267113400 Patrick Ryan June 14, 2018 Non-infectious/Lifestyle Diseases https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week2/wish/267245693 The Mediterranean Diet has been hailed as one of the first diets shown to decrease risk of death from cardiovascular disease in addition to lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke. A study published in 2013 in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrating these findings has now been retracted and revised due to concerns over the methodology and analysis, particularly the process of randomization. The revised publication has softened the language regarding the benefits of the diet. Even more interesting the errors were discovered by a person who taught himself statistical analysis because he had a hunch that the data was off. ]]> 2018-06-14 16:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week2/wish/267245693 Clare Mikhail Infectious/Communicable Disease https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week2/wish/267260032 6/14/2018

But though the steel town has lately been hailed as a posterchild of "rustbelt revitalization," Frazier's pictures tell a different story, of the real impact of inequality and environmental toxicity. In this short, powerful talk, the TED Fellow shares a deeply personal glimpse of an often-unseen world.
Thought provoking video that touches on a lot of items discussed in the "Roots of Health Inequity" assignment through visuals/photos.
