In 2021, leading medical groups and the U.S. Surgeon General declared youth mental health a national emergency, citing increased rates of depression, hopelessness and thoughts of suicide.  The percentage of teens reporting “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” jumped from 26 percent to 37 percent between 2009 and 2019. In 2021, it was 44 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  On Tuesday, American Public Media's Call to Mind initiative explored the mental health experiences of young people across the nation. And it took a close look at schools' role on  the frontlines of the youth mental health crisis.  On Wednesday, MPR News host Angela Davis continued the conversation. She talked with three guests about how the mental health crisis is affecting Minnesota youth and schools.  Guests:  Daniel Knewitz is the legislative chair of the Minnesota School Psychologists Association and a licensed school psychologist.  Sandy Lewandowski is the Superintendent of Intermediate District 287.

Prior to the CDC, she worked in the division of infectious diseases at Escola Paulista de Medicina in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she also received her medical degree. Key Insights:Denise Cardo, M.D. brings partners together to achieve goals in patient safety. Developing Partnerships. For creating effective partnerships, Dr. Cardo recommenders setting common goals and clear expectations. Develop trust and understanding before a crisis occurs, so that uncertainty can be faced with teamwork. (5:26)Embracing Identity. Dr. Cardo was nervous about having an accent, but a mentor told her to take advantage of it instead. She jokes that she never has to introduce herself on a conference call. Dr. Cardo decided that her accent, and affinity for brightly colored clothing, made her unique and she should embrace her full identity. (19:53)Empowering Ourselves. Dr. Cardo shares that sometimes people will talk to a male colleague over her, even though she is the division's director. She was worried about how to stand up for herself in those types of situations, because she knows she represents her program. Dr. Cardo chose to enlist the help of her male colleagues to combat these instances of sexism.

Title 42, a decades old and rarely used public health order used to bar people with medical conditions from entering the country, revived by the Trump administration, enables immigration authorities to swiftly expel migrants to Mexico or their home countries. The enforcement of the policy, which also bars individuals from seeking asylum, continues to be met with skepticism by immigration advocates and public health officials. The Biden administration and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced plans to end Title 42 by May 23rd, now that vaccines are widely available. But the fate of the policy remains in limbo because of Republican-backed lawsuits and opposition to its cessation. Thomas Saenz is president and General Counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund (MALDEF). Saenz joins WITHpod to discuss the role of misinformation in the characterization of migrants, immigration and refugee policy reform and the implications of a potential continuation (or end) of Title 42.

Episode page: https://valuecapturellc.com/he67 Welcome to Episode #67 of Habitual Excellence, presented by Value Capture. Joining us today as our guest is Denise Cardo, MD. Dr. Denise Cardo is the director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

She's recently the co-author of a NEJM Perspectives piece: Health Care Safety during the Pandemic and Beyond — Building a System That Ensures Resilience In today's episode, Dr. Cardo talks with host Mark Graban, about topics and questions including: Why should we aim beyond merely “getting better” and why should we be aiming for Zero Harm? Aim for “perfect healthcare with no harm? What are some practices that are not evenly distributed across the US? Working previously with PRHI - Ken Segel and Paul O'Neill? 70% decrease in harm showed what's possible Preventing preventable infections or ALL infections?? What is the role of CDC in promoting and partnering with healthcare organizations on patient safety? How has that evolved? Policies to incentivize - transparency and accountability Aligning payment to results… most countries aren't there yet Please tell us how the CDC partners with CMS, AHRQ, and other federal agencies? With private advocacy groups? Focusing on Americans, CDC is a global leader — Collaboration or learning from similar organizations in other countries that are focused on patient safety? Lessons from the Covid pandemic? As you wrote about in the NEJM, why have we seen more patient safety problems recently, including more falls, more infections, more pressure ulcers in hospitals and SNFs? You and your co-authors wrote the recent trends “severely suggests that our health care system lacks a sufficiently resilient safety culture and infrastructure.” Disparities and equity - not just access to care, but “quality care” Moving forward, what evidence would you expect to see if we DID have a “sufficiently resilient safety culture and infrastructure”?

The United States is experiencing an adolescent mental health crisis. Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the Surgeon General are stressing the urgent need to address the mental health needs of children and teens. The pandemic focused attention on this issue as young people dealt with isolation, the uncertainty of lockdown and grief over the death of loved ones. But while the pandemic exacerbated the problem, it has been building for years. We speak with Judith Warner, a journalist and author, to find out how we got to this point, and what can be done to help kids now. Warner's most recent piece, "We Have Essentially Turned a Blind Eye to Our Own Children for Decades," appears in The Washington Post Magazine.This episode deals with suicide.

The month of May is recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental Health is so important, regardless of what you do for a living. Today, for the first time in this format, I want to share my personal story of how I have come from battling suicidal thoughts to experiencing the Abundant Life that Jesus Christ offers to all of us. “Suicide remains the second leading cause of death among youth aged 10 to 14 and adults aged 24 to 35. While suicide was responsible for nearly 46,000 deaths in 2020, many more people attempt or have serious thoughts of suicide – critical risk factors for future suicide.” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)). Today's Scripture References John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Testimony can be found on my website: www.eaglesrestcounseling.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/deanna-fullerton/message

The corporate media lied that the riots across America during the summer of 2020 essentially were "fiery, but mostly peaceful." Americans, however, watched in horror as places such as Portland, Seattle, and Kenosha, Wisconsin, burned while radical leftists swarmed the streets.Through it all, though, one journalist braved the mobs.Townhall's Julio Rosas spent much of 2020 moving around the country, capturing footage of rioters as they looted stores, fought police, and, of course, burned buildings.Rosas is the author of the new book "Fiery (But Mostly Peaceful): The 2020 Riots and the Gaslighting of America."Rosas joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss his book and reveal the truth that the media won't tell you about the riots. We also cover these stories:The Labor Department reports that inflation dipped to 8.3% from 8.5% in March, as measured by the the consumer price index, but that Americans likely will continue to see high inflation.Pro-abortion activists make their way to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home in San Francisco, accusing Democrats of being “complicit” in the likely repeal of Roe v. Wade.Hong Kong's national security police arrest Cardinal Joseph Zen and several others on charges of colluding with foreign forces to undermine China's national security.New data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that over 107,000 Americans died last year of opioid overdoses, a record high.

The CDC says gun deaths were up 35% in 2020. I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute. Yes, you heard me correctly. The Center for DISEASE Control and Prevention reported on firearms deaths. 2020 had the highest rate since 1994. Gun violence is a crime. It would make a lot more sense if the FBI reported on shooting deaths. Maybe, since firearm is in their name, the ATF should be producing this report. Why is the CDC reporting on anything that is not a disease? This is how gun violence will become the next Public Health Crisis that the CDC will seize unconstitutional power to combat. What will the CDC claim as their next domain to conquer? Traffic fatalities and aviation deaths? Why do we even need the FBI, ATF, DOT, or FAA. Just let the CDC do it all.

Nearly 1 million people in the United States have died of covid-19, and the toll is growing among vaccinated people as the virus gets harder and harder to dodge. Today on Post Reports, what we can learn from looking at vaccinated deaths.Read more:According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vaccinated people made up a shocking 42 percent of covid deaths in January and February during the peak of the omicron surge, compared with 23 percent during delta's surge in September. Vaccines are still highly effective at preventing illness and death. But as more and more highly contagious variants arise, it becomes harder for elderly people, the immunocompromised and those whose vaccines are wearing off to avoid infection.Health reporter Fenit Nirappil wanted to dispel the myth that only unvaccinated people are dying of covid — and he wanted to put names and faces to some of the hundreds of thousands of people who died this past winter. Today on Post Reports, a look at what happened during the winter surge, and what we can learn from it as the virus continues to mutate.

Brandon Lopez is the CEO and executive director of The Embrace Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that provides insulin and diabetes testing supplies for type 1 and 2 diabetics that can not afford to pay for them. Since being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of seven years old, Brandon has dealt with the financial and healthcare woes that many diabetics in America suffer regularly. Diabetes is the seventh highest cause of death in the United States of America, and in 2018, the Center for Disease Control estimated that 34.2 million people in America had diabetes. That is 10.5% of the American population. We discuss Brandon's journey through Diabetes treatment, how the modern American healthcare system has caused many Americans to ration their Diabetes supplies, and how The Embrace Foundation is changing lives by providing the supplies diabetics need to stay alive.

Dr. Prather opens the show with a COVID-19 update. Then, we talk about how Knees pain is the #2 cause of chronic pain, with 30% of all American adults suffering from Knee pain during their lives. In this episode, you'll discover:—What is happening with the COVID-19 lockdown in China and how their government is able to track its citizens with government-issued cell phones. —How the data has shown the COVID lockdowns to be an unsuccessful strategy because the virus is "here to stay". —The prediction made by Bill Gates that the worst COVID surge yet is coming. And how he wants national sovereignty to be removed so that the World Health Organization can make all the decisions during a pandemic. —The stunning news that the Centers for Disease Control tracked Americans through our phones to check compliance with their COVID lockdown orders. —How obesity contributes to Knee problems, not only because of the extra weight on your joints, but because obesity interferes with your body's ability to regenerate Knee cartilage.—The two types of Knee alignments, including the one that 60% of all Olympic Sprinters have. Plus, how this alignment that provides an athletic advantage when you are younger will wear out more quickly as you age.—The botanical medicines, nutritionals, and homeopathic medicines that can actually regenerate Knee cartilage, which Dr. Prather sees on the X-Rays in his office on a regular basis.—Why Dr. Prather says NSAID's (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are effective in the short term for Knee pain, but cause long-term problems because they cause degeneration of Knee cartilage as well as damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart.—How there were about a million Knee replacements in America in 2020, with a growing number expected in future years. And why Dr. Prather says Knee replacements are not an answer because it means "you automatically have a disability for the rest of your life".—Why Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Physical Therapy represent a better way of getting the Knees in proper alignment for the healing and regeneration of the Knee.www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

The Centers for Disease Control paid nearly half a million dollars for mobile phone data to track compliance with lockdowns during the pandemic. Needless to say, digital privacy advocates are alarmed. 5) Russian mercenaries in Africa risk provoking more violence; 4) Biden Administration wants to make it easier for Russian STEM professionals to get green cards; 3) CDC used cell phone data to track compliance with lockdown measures; 2) Dengue fever spreading in Brazil and Singapore; 1) Vampire groups warn members not to drink blood.

The pandemic posed new challenges for patients and providers during pregnancy and childbirth.  Pregnant people are at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, especially if they are unvaccinated. More than two years after the start of the pandemic, health care professionals have protocols in place to address COVID transmission risks and to treat parents and newborns who have COVID. In Minnesota and across the U.S., though, there are historic health problems that have yet to be solved. Over the past couple of years, the pandemic has highlighted racial health disparities and large gaps in access to care. And there are new questions about legal rights to reproductive health care, which could complicate and worsen those gaps. Data from the Minnesota Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control, and the National Institutes of Health indicates that Black women are more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women, and to experience medical conditions like preeclampsia. Black women are more likely to experience preterm labor and birth, which can lead to medical complications for newborns. On Wednesday, MPR News host Angela Davis spoke with health care experts about how the pandemic has shaped pregnancy and childbirth. They also discussed new research in racial health disparities, how racism contributes to poorer health, and how anticipated restrictions in abortion care could affect reproductive health outcomes. Guests:  Rachel Hardeman, PhD, MPH is a tenured Associate Professor in the Division of Health Policy & Management at the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health, the Blue Cross Endowed Professor in Health and Racial Equity, and the Founding Director of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity. Dr. Sarah Cross is an OBGYN and assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Health at the University of Minnesota. She directs the Birthplace, Pregnancy Special Care Unit and the Newborn Family Care Center at M Health Fairview.

Dr. Dylan George is the Director of Operations for the Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (CFA), newly established at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr. George joins J. Stephen Morrison and Andrew Schwartz for this 135th episode following the April 19th White House CFA launch. Its mission: Predict, Inform, Innovate. Its data science team will strengthen advance warning of biological emergencies, with a heavy emphasis on improved communications. Building trust is a major challenge, including navigating privacy sensitivities. Sustained funding is essential, and an outstanding question. If successful, CFA will provide the tools people need to keep their families safe while improving decision-making at the local, state, and federal levels. Like extreme weather communications, CFA will make complex models accessible.

Human trafficking has moved into the public consciousness as a serious offense both domestically and internationally. Over the course of the next three episodes of Beyond Fear, we will cover trafficking from the perspective of researchers and a survivor.   Human trafficking, including sex trafficking, is a multi-billion-dollar industry that impacts an estimated 24.9 million people globally. In the U.S., human trafficking is defined as using force, fraud, or coercion, to compel a person into commercial sex acts or labor services against their will. In some instances, people are trafficked for the purpose of commercial sex and in others people are trafficked and forced to work under inhumane or illegal conditions.  In Understanding Trafficking Part I, we speak to Katie Gosch and Dr. Katherine Gomez – experts on domestic sex trafficking. Our conversation touched on several important topics including who is most at risk for victimization, the demographic profile of traffickers, ways to combat trafficking and more.  This episode is the beginning of our exploration of human trafficking. So, stay tuned next week for our discussion as we discuss human trafficking from a global perspective.

In this episode, I speak with Alexis Katsis, an infectious disease expert working freelance as a Relationship Manager. From an early age, Alexis wanted to be a scientist, and in college studied biology, earning a BS in biotechnology from Rutgers University. After working for two years, she decided to get a MS in public health microbiology to access jobs having a greater impact. Afterwards, she worked at the Centers for Disease Control, but again returned to school, this time to earn a PhD in microbiology and immunology so she could take on positions with greater responsibility. This led to jobs at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, where, among other things, she led teams investing in projects to improve child health, and to ensure the quality of laboratory data from clinical trials for HIV/AIDS and COVID19. She has recently begun working freelance to have more time to pursue creative endeavors, such as hosting a podcast called LuxeSci, which explores the science of luxury. We'll hear about all these experiences and of course find out about what her job is like.

It is estimated that anywhere from 575,000 to 677,000 bloodstream infections occur annually in North America, with approximately 40,000 of those directly linked to patient mortality in the United States, making bloodstream infections the 11th most common cause of death in the US according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The detection of bloodstream infections and subsequent identification of the etiologic agent or agents is an essential role played by all clinical microbiology laboratories, day-in and day-out for routine patient care. So, today, we are going to dive into a recently published study in JCM, looking at organism-specific bloodstream infection prevalence rates and their individual mortality risks relative to patients with either negative blood cultures and in those for whom blood cultures were not ordered.

An estimated 3 out of 4 U.S. children and more than half of all adults have been infected with COVID-19, according to a report released on Tuesday, April 26 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But a Mayo Clinic expert says more information is needed to get the complete picture. "This was a convenient sample. In other words, people who were having blood drawn for other reasons were tested,"explains Dr. Gregory Poland, head of Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group. "That does not reflect the full population or differences by race or geographic location. And the detection of antibodies does not necessarily mean that you are protected from infection. So, there's a lot of nuance around understanding that headline." The research study looked at more than 200,000 blood samples and found that signs of past infection rose dramatically during the omicron surge between December 2021 and February.Other COVID-19 news this week includes a push to make treatments more available, the rising incidence of new omicron subvariants, and changes in mask recommendations. Dr. Poland cautions that COVID-19 is still present and encourages wearing a mask in crowded spaces, even when there isn't a requirement to do so."If only one of us is wearing a mask and the other one isn't and is infected, you still have pretty high protection — but not the same level of protection as if both of us wearing one," says Dr. Poland. "So, it's it is not futile to be the only one wearing a mask. In fact, I think it sends a message."On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Poland discusses the latest COVID-19 news and answers listener questions.

Today, I want to make you aware of some discouraging new research regarding teens and drug use from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After reviewing the data from 2020, it was discovered that overdoses linked to synthetic opioids like Fentanyl tripled among teenagers over the course of just two years. Among black teenagers, there was a five-fold increase. Fentanyl is one hundred times more potent than morphine, and fifty times more potent than heroin. Fueling this trend is the fact that fentanyl is being combined with other illicit drugs, making them more addictive, dangerous, and even deadly. While the numbers are not in for 2021, experts believe that the data will show additional increases. It is our hope that parents and the church will consistently monitor, love, and nurture the children and teens in our midst, and that we would reach out with care, compassion, and the hope of the Gospel to those who are most vulnerable to abusing drugs.

On April 18, a federal judge in Florida struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's mask requirement on airplanes, trains, buses, and other public transportation. In a 59-page opinion, Judge Mizelle stated that the CDC had exceeded its legal authority under relevant federal law, including the 1944 Public Health Services Act, and failed to follow administrative procedure rules. The decision further vacated the mask mandate on a nationwide basis. The U.S. Department of Justice plans to appeal the decision.  Michael Dorf of Cornell Law School and Adam White of the American Enterprise Institute join us for a discussion about the legal arguments on both sides of the decision, and a broader debate about nationwide injunctions—when a single district court judge blocks a law or government regulation on a national scale. Jeffrey Rosen moderates.  Questions or comments about the show?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's mask mandate on planes, trains and buses ended earlier this month, and it came down, in part, to a judge's interpretation of the word "sanitation." U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle voided the mask requirement, citing a 1944 law that gives the CDC power to stop the spread of communicable diseases through measures like inspection, fumigation, disinfection and sanitation.Lawrence Gostin is a professor of public health law at Georgetown University. He explains what the 1944 Public Health Service Act did and why he thinks the judge's interpretation could have an impact on the United States' ability to respond to future health crises.

Firearms became the leading cause of death for American children and teenagers in 2020, according to researchers who analyzed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data. This sad fact represents a major shift in risks for young people in the U.S. For over 60 years, car accidents were the leading cause of death for kids and teens. Car accidents are now number two, while drug overdoses are number three.

This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data that showed around 60 percent of Americans — more than half of adults and three quarters of children — have now been infected with the coronavirus. But herd immunity looks likely to remain elusive, and many people are still at high risk from Covid-19.What do the C.D.C. figures mean for immunity in the United States, and for the future of the pandemic?Guest: Apoorva Mandavilli, a science and global health reporter for The New York Times.Want more from The Daily?

For years now, pain has been the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting more than 50 million Americans annually. This isn't the kind of pain you endure when you trip onto the pavement, scab, bruise and heal. It's the persistent gnawing, aching, throbbing that happens over a long period of time. This is chronic pain. One of the most powerful and effective forms of treatment for pain is the safe use of opioids. Opioids in combination with other therapies have allowed those hindered by pain to live full and vibrant lives, but the stigma around opioid use was exacerbated in 2016 due to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, that both seriously discouraged doctors from prescribing these drugs and also over attributed the prescription of them as the cause of addiction and overdose. While opioids are not a one-size fits all pain reliever, the rollback on prescriptions has disproportionately impacted people with disabilities, people of color, women, and incarcerated folks. Kate Nicholson, founder of the National Pain Advocacy Center, believes now is the time to course-correct. Pain relief, in her view, is a civil right.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating adenovirus as a possible cause for over a dozen cases of severe hepatitis in children.

Almost 60% of the U.S. population—and 75% of U.S. children—have evidence in their blood suggesting a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19, according to new research from scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that looks at data from September 2021 to February 2022. By that estimate, most people in the U.S.—almost 200 million—have had COVID-19 as of February. That far exceeds the 80.

The U.S. defense chief urged Ukraine's allies to “move at the speed of war” to get more and heavier weapons to Kyiv as Russian forces rained fire on eastern and southern Ukraine amid new fears the fighting could spill over the country's borders. Clayton Neville offers an update on that. Three out of every 5 people in the U.S. now have antibodies from a previous Covid-19 infection with the proportion even higher among children, demonstrating how widespread the virus was during the winter omicron surge, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. John Stolnis breaks down those numbers for us. We continue our conversation with Maya King of the New York Times, this time highlighting the Georgia Senate race.

Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, says the legislative agreement for $10 billion in new federal COVID funding is “really a drop in the bucket.” He says more dollars are needed to build up public health in all parts of the U.S. He responded to some political complaints by assuring taxpayers that public health officials are indeed financially accountable. Conversations on Health Care hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter also asked Dr. Benjamin about the reorganization plans for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; he says it needs a greater focus on emergency preparedness.

The midweek edition of LegalAF x MeidasTouch, the top-rated podcast covering law and politics, is anchored by national trial attorney and strategist, Michael Popok and former prosecutor and leading criminal defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo. On this week's episode, Popok and KFA analyze: 1. Trump's efforts to, on the one hand, disqualify the Florida federal judge he does not like in the racketeering case he filed against Hillary Clinton in Florida, while on the other, use a New York federal judge to stop the New York Attorney General's investigation of him. 2. Bannon's last ditch efforts to have his criminal contempt of Congress case thrown out by a D.C. Circuit federal judge before his July trial. 3. A Georgia federal judge's decision to allow Georgia to continue to evaluate whether Marjorie Taylor Greene is an insurrectionist that is disqualified to run for office under the 14th Amendment's “anti-insurrectionist” clause. 4. A Florida federal judge's decision to prevent the Center for Disease Control from, well, controlling disease, by continuing to require masks on all public transportation.

Guests: Janai Nelson, Dr. Vin Gupta, Brandy Zadrozny, Marie Yovanovitch, Hugo LowellA federal judge, appointed by a twice-impeached ex-president and deemed "unqualified" by the Bar Association, overrules the Center for Disease Control. So what happens now that the mask mandate for public transit is lifted? Then, as Putin's war enters a new phase and the U.S. sends more heavy weapons, former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch on how we got here. Plus, bombshell text messages from the criminal conspiracy trial of an Oath Keeper—why were they so concerned about protecting Donald Trump's favorite doctor turned member of Congress? 

A judge said the rule exceeded the Centers for Disease Control's power, raising questions about how the agency can enforce public health rules in future crises. The Biden administration, so far, has not committed to an appeal of the ruling.This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, White House correspondent Tamara Keith, and transportation correspondent David Schaper.Connect:Email the show at nprpolitics@npr.orgJoin the NPR Politics Podcast Facebook Group.Subscribe to the NPR Politics Newsletter.Find and support your local public radio station.
