Briefly explain how you would incorporate culturally relevant and sensitive materials in your campaign
DHEO draws upon all diverse community leaders from distinct background to invest financially to support DHOH persons regardless of ethnicities, nationalities, race, and religions.

After reviewing this article, I have determined that the dimensions of health involved with this issue are physical, environmental, and intellectual. For starters, this issue affects a person's physical health because it causes the body to deteriorate until eventually the person dies. Those who become addicted fail to take proper care of their body with healthy products but rather ingest harmful ones. Another dimension involved is environmental because depending where a person lives will depend how accessible these painkillers are. In an area where a doctor over prescribes painkillers, or people illegally sell painkillers, there should be a higher addiction rate because painkillers are easier to obtain. The final dimension involved
William Beveridge was a man whom was asked by government to write a report on the best and most effective ways to help those on low incomes. This was after the Second World War when people felt they needed rewarding, which the government responded to by promising to create a more equal society.

The health promotion initiative is science and system design to improve and promote health in a specific community. I have a very strong experience in the Bronx where I have spent most of my time and raise my kids and a careful study of the inhabitants who are serious to make earns meet are lucking the time to take care of their personal life. Taking my formal neighborhood (white plain road) for example is an area being underestimated by so many people because of selling of weed, drugs, prostitution, shoplifting etc. But for one to live in that area, you need to have either a good job or do double in other to meet your needs. As a result of that, the inhabitants do not have time for themselves, an example is to eat well, exercise visits their

Therefore, it becomes critical to reducing the impact CVD has on the health care system (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015) by implementing a health education program to target CVD through health consulting. DHEO intend to disseminate, evaluation forms to measure effectively behavioral changes conducted through public health consulting outreaches. In CVD, health education in the DHOH communities needs to be address, especially the impact it has on the overall nation health expenditure (Zazove & Doukas, 1994).

An optamaligist known as Dr. Ralph Chu and Dr. Rex Hamilton have made some ground breaking discoveries in helping to prevent fading close up vision. They have made an amazing eye plant called the rain drop. The rain drop helps with reshaping the cornea so it can focus better and faster. One of the most important ways it helps people with close up vision is to be able to read better. According to Dr. Ralph Chu, “this is one of the most significant advances in apthomology in 20 years. The reason why it is so important is because it can remove the need for reading glasses in anyone that affected by presbyopia also known as the aging eye. The lenses costs 4000$ to get implanted are not covered by insurance.
Introduction: Public health achievements in the areas of vaccinations to prevent disease, disease prevention and control, laws to limit the consumption of tobacco, maternal and infant health, and cardiovascular disease are achievements on their own. With public health, improvements in one area often have an effect on a different area of public health. Improvements in vaccinations, for example, will improve maternal and infant health as a reduced number of mothers and infants will fall ill from diseases preventable by vaccination. In addition, vaccinations control the spread of infectious disease, and reduce the incidence rate of the disease in a population.

Since early childhood, I always believed I would choose a career in the medical field. When I was five years old, I was asked: “What do you want to be when you grow up”? I always responded by saying: “I want to become a dentist”. I began to pursue my lifelong goal of becoming a dentist or doctor after enrolling at the University of Georgia majoring in biology. I interviewed and shadowed many doctors, all of whom specialized in different areas. I learned about the education process of becoming a doctor, daily tasks, their lifestyle, and the hours they worked. However, the more time I spent shadowing and working with people in those fields; the less I believed that a career as a
