Arik Hartmann examines the question:

Our treatment of HIV has advanced. Why hasn't the stigma changed?

After being diagnosed with HIV, Arik, chose to live transparently, being open about his status, in an effort to educate people. In this candid, personal talk, he shares what it's like to live with HIV -- and calls on us to dismiss our misconceptions about the disease.

In this they discuss the implementation strategies for food safety standards. This includes transparency, the impacts that the implementation of this legislature will have on different operations and how enforcement will be achieved. It also voices concerns on how relationships with the public, operations, and the agencies will be impacted. This focuses heavily on social health and how the relationships between individuals is paramount and how it is important to take the emotions of others into account in order to be successful in the implementation of policies.]]> 2018-06-19 03:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/267723158 Patrick Ryan, June 18th, Non-infectious disease/Lifestyle https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/267724344 I thought that this was an interesting article from NPR discussing new and innovative ways to help those suffering from the opioid epidemic to engage in life saving recovery treatment. Despite having evidence based treatments for opioid use disorder, simple access to such treatments has been a major barrier to the recovery of these patients. The article addresses some of the stigma in medication assisted treatment which persists. ]]> 2018-06-19 03:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/267724344 Tess Santangelo https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/267809014 June 19, 2018

This is an episode from the RadioLab podcast which discusses and shares a families decision on identifying as Black or White. Racial history throughout the Ohio town has shaped this family's decisions on how they choose to perceive themselves. It reveals the difference in how the two daughters were treated growing up in Ohio based on the fact that one choose to identify as black and the other choose to identify as white.

It is an unprecedented study that has identified 6.4 million people worldwide who have been exposed to radiation and are at risk of health complications. Specifically, they have found 230 uranium mining sites that have or are putting populations at risk of radiation exposure.]]> 2018-06-19 19:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/267847619 Rick DeVoss, 6/19/18 Race/Class, Gender, Society https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/267851554 This episode from Invisibilia reviews a theory of mental health treatment where emphasis is put on ensuring patients encounter a more or less normal lifestyle. A case study of Geel, Belgium is presented where patients are placed with host families as part of their treatment plan. The theory continues on to state that relatives may not be the best providers of a normal environment and host families can be very good therapeutic outlets. There is also emphasis on changing the U.S. stigma of mental health disorders. ]]> 2018-06-19 20:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/267851554 Jon Windsor 6/20/18 Non-infectious disease/Lifestyle https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268029281 This article talks about a new methodology being developed by a team in Switzerland that could potentially replace insulin pumps. The treatment is an implant of synthetic cells that release insulin every time caffeine is ingested. This could prevent cases of Insulin shock so commonly seen in patients with insulin pumps that forget to eat. The theory is to make the insulin release dependent on diet instead of "timed intervals" by a pump.]]> 2018-06-21 01:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268029281 Kaci Pickett 6/20/18 Infectious/Communicable Diseases https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268034762 As an Idaho girl who grew up 45 minutes from Elmore County, this article caught my eye.

While they may help adults quit actual cigarettes, they are guiding teens towards trying real cigarettes. It's an important discussion that shows how kids growing up now may not see the danger of vape pens.]]> 2018-06-22 04:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268184328 Hiba Abualama, 7/2/18 https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268187080 Mental/Social/Emotional/Behavioral Health

Description:Child marriage, defined as a formal marriage or informal union before age 18, is a reality for both boys and girls, although girls are disproportionately the most affected. Child marriage is widespread and can lead to a lifetime of disadvantage and deprivation.

Researchers (including ColoradoSPH students working on this study) have long known that ticks carry a variety of viruses, including some unique to CO. While ticks have not historically been prevalent in CO, the changing climate has researchers concerned about increased presence (of ticks and the diseases they carry) in the future.

I had the great opportunity to help with this study: www.pfas-aware.org/. PFA and PFC chemicals were detected in water supply for communities near Colorado Springs. We evaluated people's exposure to these chemicals, and tested their blood for these chemicals. PFCs were also recently found in groundwater in Boulder County: www.thedenverchannel.com/lifestyle/health/boulder-county-community-warned-drinking-water-could-be-contaminated.]]> 2018-06-24 18:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268353050 Arianna Roberts, June 24, 2018, Laws/Policies/Politics https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268364263 This New York Times article examines the multiple bills that congress is putting forward to address the opioid epidemic. Researchers and experts who have reviewed the bills are skeptical that the efforts will be enough to successfully solve the opioid problem in the United States. The opioid epidemic is a very important public health issue, related to addiction and overdose: according to the article, 42,000 people died from opioid related deaths in 2016.]]> 2018-06-24 21:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268364263 Emma Jones, June 24, Environmental Health https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268393343 Iowa Public Radio recording from River to River show.

This pushes the disease underground. Due to stigma and fear of legal repercussions, these laws prevent people from seeking diagnosis and treatment, which lowers life expectancy and quality of life for the patients and can increase the incidence of HIV in the population. ]]> 2018-06-25 03:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/l_vonklinggraeff/week3/wish/268398400
