Marijuana.  Mary Jane.  Weed. Pot.  Cannabis comes in many different names and many different forms.  Today, it has become more and more popular.  States are legalizing it for medical and recreational use, and it may be federally decriminalized soon.  Growers, dispensaries, certain health care professionals, and your run of the mill pot-head claim that it can solve and fix many medical issues…. But does it?  Our host, Noah Zimmerman, has been a daily user for the past 5 years, and reviews studies and anecdotal evidence to figure out if cannabis really is the “magical medicine” some claim it to be.  And listen to find out why he has decided to stop being a daily user!

Moms and moms-to-be deserve the best care. This is especially true when it comes to mental health. The joy of motherhood is often the focus, but it's important to acknowledge that having a baby can be challenging in sometimes unanticipated ways.  The “baby blues” tend to strike after birth and are fairly common. Women experience a drop in hormones after giving birth, and often feel overwhelmed and stressed with a new baby at home. Postpartum depression goes beyond baby blues. It's a persistent sense of feeling overwhelmed and sad that lasts longer than the baby blues and is more severe. It can impact a woman's ability to do her usual daily activities – women may have trouble sleeping, making meals, showering or driving. Postpartum depression, a type of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder, is both common and treatable. Our goal in episode 27 is to help listeners better understand postpartum depression, learn to recognize the signs and identify resources for treatment. Listen as host Mark Gomez, MD, and his guests, Susan Cheng, PhD, MPH, and Ravae Sinclair, JD, CLC, CD (DONA), discuss postpartum depression and when it's time to seek help.  Guests Susan Cheng, PhD, MPH – Associate Dean for Public Health Practice and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, Tulane University.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 10-22-21. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of October 25, 2021.  This episode is part of a series this fall about water connections to the human body and human biology.  We start this week with three mystery sounds, all related to a very numerous group of disease-causing, or pathogenic, microbes that have enormous impacts on human health.  Have a listen for about 20 seconds, and see if know this microbial group.  And here's a hint: big hits on social media are said to spread like this group. SOUNDS – ~19 sec If you guessed viruses, you're right!  You heard a person coughing due to a viral disease; handwashing, an important method of reducing viral transmission; and a spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol, an effective disinfectant against many kinds of viruses.  With attention focused this fall both on the COVID-19 coronavirus and the annual influenza virus season, we explore in this episode some basic information about viruses and some viral connections to water.  Here are 10 key points about viruses. 1.  Viruses are one of four groups of microbes responsible for human disease, along with bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, which are single-celled animals.  As a group, viruses are the smallest of these microbes, although some are larger than some bacteria. 2.  Viruses aren't made up of cells, but instead exist as particles composed primarily of molecules of protein and nucleic acids, that is, DNA or RNA.  They require a cellular host for reproduction, called replication. 3.  Viruses are more abundant than all of the cellular-based living things on earth. 4.  All living things are infected by viruses. 5.  Viruses don't always cause disease in infected hosts, but many kinds do cause significant diseases in humans, other animals, and plants. 6.  Viral disease can result from viruses taking over or inhibiting their host's cellular biochemical processes, or by cell destruction as new virus particles exit cells after replication. 7.  Depending on their type, viruses can be spread through air, in water, from surfaces, by animal vectors, or through exchange of blood or other body substances. 8.  Water-related spread of viruses can occur through water contaminated with human waste, and through animal vectors connected to water, particularly mosquitoes. 9.  Significant human diseases from water-borne viruses include intestinal disease, particularly diarrhea; hepatitis, or liver inflammation; inflammations of the brain, spinal cord, or heart; and possibly cancer.  Viral diseases spread by mosquitoes include Yellow Fever, Dengue, West Nile, and others. And last, but not least, handwashing with clean water and soap is important for reducing the spread of viruses through objects and surfaces—collectively called fomites—with which humans come into contact. Thanks to Freesound.org user n__audioman for making the coughing sound available for public use.  Here's hoping we all hear less of that sound and more of the handwashing and other preventative measures that keep viruses—water-borne and otherwise—somewhat at bay. SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Stewart Scales for his banjo version of Cripple Creek to open and close this show.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water. AUDIO NOTES AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to Dr. Sally Paulson, Virginia Tech Department of Entomology, for her help with this article.

Neglecting public health in state budgets for more than 10 years created an environment that was ill-suited to deal with the challenges of COVID-19 as well as other issues. On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we speak with one of the authors of a recent paper that examined state funding trends from 2008 to 2018 and discuss what could be done in the future to avoid past mistakes. In an article published this month in Health Affairs, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, and the College of Health Solutions from Arizona State University, took a close look at state spending in 8 categories of public health spending during an 11-year period to understand the extent to which funding has not kept up with pressing and emerging issues. The stagnation in public health spending occurred during a time of rising mortality in the United States and funding, which was cut during the Great Recession, was not restored. On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we speak with Beth Resnick, DrPH, MPH, a coauthor of the study, a senior scientist in the Department of Health Policy and Management at Johns Hopkins, where she is also the assistant dean for Public Health Practice and Training.

The Infection Prevention Strategy (TIPS)
Using the COVID-19 Shared Experience to Make Public Health Communication More Effective with Vanessa Lamers

The Infection Prevention Strategy (TIPS)

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 7, 2021 79:19


Amidst the damage wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been given a potent tool that, if properly harnessed, could help us communicate more effectively about everything in public health. For effective communication, the very first thing we need to do is create a connection with our audience. For that, metaphors and shared experience are two of our most effective tools. These, however, are hard to come by and typically must be created anew for every audience. It's rare that we have a shared experience that touches everyone in a direct and visceral way. A shared experience that due to its sheer scope and severity, forces politicians, business leaders, and other key decision makers through a crash course on public health concepts like contract tracing, mass testing, vaccine development and deployment, health access and disparities, public health data infrastructure, non-pharmaceutical interventions, and many more. For public health and emergency preparedness communicators, prior to 2020 at least, this would have been a pipe dream. Yet here we are. The pandemic has taken so much away, but as with any catastrophe, buried in the ashes and rubble, if you care to look for it, you will find opportunity. That is what today's discussion is all about.   The Road to Making a Difference As a college student in the 2000s, Vanessa Lamers studied education and environmental science. Supplementing her academics, she also worked in Willamette University's security office and helped with emergency response and preparedness on campus. During that time, she observed the emergency response efforts to major environmental catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill. Later, graduate studies lead her to Yale University where she continued to explore sustainability and environmental science, public health, and infectious disease. At the time, SARS and MERS provided real-world examples of the types of threats Vanessa wanted to help prepare us for. She tells us that “seeing all that happen in real-time and making those ties and realizing that, hey, I want to be one of the people that's helping prevent these disasters.”   Making a Connection Vanessa's unique combination of expertise in environmental science, public health, and infectious disease led to opportunities to hone her skills in Haiti and Zimbabwe. There Vanessa learned that, even with very limited resources, you can still drive amazing health outcomes. Similar to Richard Heinzl's observations in Episode #10, Vanessa realized that the strategic application of the tools you do have, combined with a hands-on, get out in the community approach, can be extremely effective. Vanessa tells us that they deployed community health workers to go door-to-door, seek out the most vulnerable people in the communities and figure out how to take care of them. “There's no need to recreate the wheel”, Vanessa adds, because public health efforts that lack resources often provide “great wrap-around services, building a community around the people who need it.” This approach, of course, is based on meeting people where they are, literally, and making a connection.   Visual Acuity Another important lesson came to Vanessa while she worked at the Yale University Art Gallery. There, she led educational tours of the gallery for everyone from 3rd graders in the New Haven Public School to Yale Medical and master's in public health (MPH) students. The goal was to strengthen visual acuity, a skill that can be very useful in all forms of communication. Vanessa describes it this way, “This skill of visual acuity. How do you look at something? What do you see? What pops out at you? What do you notice? Why are you noticing that first? Why didn't you notice this other thing and the painting? How do you then describe it to the other people that are in your group in terms that they're going to understand? How do you build a shared experience among a group of people when you're looking at the same?”. This experience allowed Vanessa to explore and strengthen her grasp of communication and connections in a variety of new ways.   The Ultimate Shared Experience The varied experiences on Vanessa's journey helped her to understand the importance of connection and the power of shared experience. And it was this understanding that helped her see “the big idea” we came together to discuss. It was another fortuitous occurrence where a lead poisoning audit in Milwaukee (being conducted by Vanessa and team at the Public Health Foundation), began before the pandemic and wrapped-up when were deep in the crisis. Vanessa explains “Pre-COVID I was really struggling to find what a shared experience would be, what metaphor I could use to explain some of the challenges that we were seeing”, but after months of the pandemic “all of these officials had now, unfortunately for them, had to build a full understanding of public health.” The shared experience and accompanying metaphors are very powerful and create the opportunity to say “you know how this was difficult with COVID. It's going to be difficult with lead poisoning.” And this might be data collection, contacting patients for follow-up, contact tracing, or a dozen other complex concepts that all of us now have at least a basic understanding of. This helps your audience create a mental picture to work with (tie-in visual acuity), and greatly increases the chance for connection, shared understanding, and progress. This was a nuanced conversation that explores, in a variety of ways, how to make your public health communication more effective. It's a skill that we should all strive to constantly improve, and we're certain everyone who listens will find something of value.   Vanessa Lammers Vanessa Lamers is the Assistant Director of Performance Management and Quality Improvement at the Public Health Foundation (PHF).
