Summary

Long, C. (2022, May 26). Uvalde school shooting underscores urgent need for mental health resources.
NEA News.

The first article discusses the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and argues that the shooting highlights the urgent need for increased mental health resources in schools (Long, 2022). The article identifies the extended risks that people of color face by being the target of shootings and the protection they need. Anxiety and sadness are filling students and community members because of the shooting that happened back-to-back (Long, 2022). The article cites statistics on the prevalence of mental health problems among students, the lack of access to mental health services, and the need for increased funding to support mental health programs.

Responding to Disability: A Question of Attitude

This questionnaire is designed to stimulate thinking and dialogue. It is not intended to test knowledge of disability or

attitudes toward people with disabilities. As people increasingly find themselves in situations involving people who are

disabled they need to make quick decisions on how to respond. This questionnaire provides an opportunity to think

about situations involving people with disabilities, to respond, and then to consider the various responses more

carefully.

INTRODUCTION

With the recent changes in laws, opportunities, and attitudes, more people with disabilities are moving into the

mainstream, pursuing education, employment, and leisure activities. Yet few of us have had extensive

exposure to people with disabilities. Despite our desires to respond appropriately when we interact with a

person who has a disability, sometimes there is confusion, hesitancy or miscommunication.

Guiding Questions for Researching Rhetorically 2

Below I’ve provided you with some questions to help you with your answer. Please 
do not answer in bulleted form. Use the questions below to help you write your response.

Guiding Questions for Researching Rhetorically 2

1. Analyze the genre, purpose, and audience of the text you’ve chosen.

· Where is this text published or made public?

· Who is the specific intended audience? What is the purpose of this text?

2. Rhetorically analyze the text you’ve chosen:

· What stylistic choices do they make?

· What content choices? What choices regarding images, layout, etc?

· How do such choices relate to their rhetorical purpose/s?

· How are they trying to affect change, attract participants, etc.?

3. Based on the social media post(s) you’re analyzing,

· How does this social media platform seem to impact the rhetorical aspects of this text?

· In other words, how does the fact that this text is on social media impact the way that this text engages with its audience and/or achieves its purpose?

· How does this compare to the other texts you discussed in Researching Rhetorically 1? 

4. How does the message in this text align or not align with the texts about your topic? 

· In other words, what are some connections you notice between this social media text and the ones you analyzed in Researching Rhetorically 1?

5. How does this source use evidence?

· Is it reliable? Why or why not?

· What kind of information is given? 

6. How does this source participate in a larger conversation with the other sources you looked at? 

7. What did you learn from this source that you did not know from the previous sources?

· In what ways does this source build on or contradict the other sources?

· How does the genre/medium affect the source’s argument?

MAP-IT stands

Creation of a health promotion initiative to improve health indicators for “your health problem”. This activity is focusing on your creativity, analysis of facts, organization and leadership qualities. Be concise but comprehensive in your ideas.

MAP-IT stands for:

M Mobilize

A Asses

P Plan

I Implement

T Track

Using MAP-IT framework briefly determine how you may:

1. Mobilize resources and stakeholders to take care of the selected health problem in your community, determining mission and vision of the resulted coalition, defining partners, their roles and meeting plans.

2. Asses the problem, including a realistic long-term goal, how you may collect data to determine your needs and priorities logically organized

3. Plan objectives and steps to achieve them. Consider opportunities for interventions with broad reach and impact. How may you measure your progress? What is expected to change, by how much, and by when? Choose objectives that are challenging yet realistic.

4. Implement. Create a detailed work plan that includes concrete action steps assigned to specific people with clear deadlines and/or timelines. Share responsibilities across coalition members but consider having a single point of contact to manage the process to ensure that things get done. Check in with coalition members by using the Coalition Self-Assessment to see if your process is running smoothly. Develop a simple communication plan. Use kick-off events, activities, or campus meetings to showcase your coalition’s accomplishments.

5. Track. Plan regular evaluations to measure and track your progress over time. Evaluations can help your coalition determine if your plan has been effective in achieving your goals. Be mindful of limitations of self-reported data, data quality, data validity, and reliability. Partnering with a statistician or researcher at your institution can help you conduct a quality evaluation. You can use these basic formulas to calculate baseline, target, and achieved rates for your selected health outcomes.

Hyperlipidemia: lifestyle modifications combined with pharmacologic treatment

Hyperlipidemia, also referred to as dyslipidemia, is a condition that occurs when fats are deposited in the arteries increasing the risk of blockage. Hyperlipidemia is a major health issue among Hispanic females, which increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases in this patient population (Lamar et al., 2020). Current evidence indicates that the national prevalence of hyperlipidemia among U.S. adults is 11.3% (MacDonald, 2022). About 27.3% of the population in Miami-Dade County has high cholesterol (Miami-Dade Matters, 2019). This project aims to identify the effectiveness of combining lifestyle modifications with pharmacology treatment in improving cholesterol levels in mid-aged female Hispanics with hyperlipidemia diagnosis.

Hyperlipidemia: lifestyle modifications combined with pharmacologic treatment

Population

Hispanics are among the ethnic groups at the highest risk of developing hyperlipidemia. Middle-aged Hispanic females are at risk of hyperlipidemia due to various risk factors. Evidence from research indicates that the prevalence of hyperlipidemia is high across all Hispanics, but some groups within the population are more affected such as women. Various factors make women more vulnerable to hyperlipidemia which makes it interesting to focus on the mid-age female population.


Social determinants

The social determinants of health that predispose Hispanic females to hyperlipidemia include individuals’ socioeconomic status, household income, level of education, access to healthy foods, employment, and gender. Socioeconomic status is closely related to other factors such as the level of household income and education level. Individuals of lower socioeconomic status are more likely to have lower education levels, lower household income, and poor access to healthy foods, which could influence their health outcomes (Hudson et al., 2020).


Risk factors

Several risk factors predispose Hispanic females to hyperlipidemia such as high body mass index (BMI), obesity, older age, female gender, low physical activity level, alcohol use, and diabetes (Lamar et al., 2020). The risk of hyperlipidemia is higher in individuals with high BMI, advanced age, and those that are physically inactive due to an increase in weight. Lamar et al. (2020) indicated that women were more affected by hyperlipidemia compared to men, particularly those who are older, obese, and those with underlying conditions such as diabetes. Females are more likely to be obese and physically inactive.

Literature review

Ramírez et al. (2020) conducted a study and wrote an article titled “Prevalence of hyperlipidemia and its associated factors in univ
