How can we investigate if schoolchildren become healthier and more concentrated when we replace their habitual lunch packs with school meals based on the New Nordic Diet? This is the focus of this presentation. We will introduce the whole design, the rationale, and the concept of the OPUS School Meal Study.

This presentation introduces the term “death by tourism” and discuss’ the impact of uncontrolled tourism on local communities. In continuation of this, we will discuss the importance of Certification of Sustainable Tourism and introduce the three types of Sustainability Certification schemes.

In this presentation, PhD in Human Nutrition Charlotte Mithril presents data from her PhD project, which aimed to develop the New Nordic Diet. In continuation of this, Charlotte Mithril introduces why there is a need for a New Nordic Diet in the first place and how this interplays with the existing dietary guidelines in Denmark.

In this presentation, we will discuss how tourism affects different local communities, including Zanzibar. A study from Zanzibar published in 2015 found that only 20 percent of the GDP generated by tourism occurred to local communities, so it seems possible to develop forms of tourism with greater benefits to the population of Zanzibar, including local population.

In this presentation, we will explore the sociological aspects of accepting a new diet such as the New Nordic Diet. As you may know the OPUS study is working towards creating a new healthy Nordic food culture in Denmark, to do this, OPUS is developing, testing and disseminating a New Nordic Diet to the public.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public.

"Cervicovaginal bacterial communities are closely linked to reproductive health. Communities characterized by diverse anaerobes and low Lactobacillus abundance are associated with preterm birth, infertility, and risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Women in South Africa are more likely to have these 'high-risk' bacterial communities than women in the U.S. and Europe. But the transition between high- and low-risk community states is not well understood. To examine this, researchers profiled the cervicovaginal bacterial communities of healthy young Black South African women over time. They developed a Markov-based model of transition dynamics that accurately predicted bacterial composition in a separate cross-sectional cohort. While communities with high levels of Lactobacillus spp..."

In the previous lab, students explored the characteristics of the ocean environment in which coral reefs thrive. Unfortunately,there are a number of factors, both natural and anthropogenic (resulting from human activities), that can alter the ocean environment and threaten the health of coral reef ecosystems. In this activity, students will examine the three main factors that disrupt corals.

Weatherization offers energy and non-energy benefits to households. It involves insulating homes, installing energy-efficient systems, and reducing energy bills. Non-energy benefits include improved health outcomes, such as reduced thermal stress and asthma symptoms. However, challenges like deferred assistance, low coverage, and bias against renters limit the program's impact.

In this presentation, we will discuss how poor waste management affects the tourism negatively in Zanzibar. Unsustainable solid waste management in Zanzibar impacts the local environment, has adverse effect on communities and generate negative reviews from tourist, which is a major threat to tourism in Zanzibar and hence their economic resources.

This lesson reviews the basics of safer sex practices and contraception. It also introduces several laws in Oregon that revolve around consent, reproductive and sexual health access, medical consent, and more.

"These simple tools are transforming how children are treated for acute malnutrition. Designed for people with low literacy, these tools have the potential to help community health workers treat children with severe acute malnutrition close to home, in areas around the world where the nearest health facility is hours away. Malnutrition is the single biggest threat to public health according to the World Health Organization. Globally, it contributes to 45% of deaths of children under 5. Treatment for the most severe cases was, until recently, only available at a hospital as around-the-clock care—which is virtually impossible in many low-income countries. With the development of ready-to-use therapeutic foods, this treatment became available in outpatient programs at lower-level facilities, requiring weekly visits for up to 2-4 months. While this outpatient treatment model has been scaled up to over 60 countries with a high burden of malnutrition, it hasn’t reached every community where it’s needed..."

This project is directed at elementary level students, with a first grade group in mind. Students will be researching and discovering what it means to be a good friend and then using gained knowledge to demonstrate what good friendship looks like.

The health of the watershed has a direct impact on the health of those that use it. This unit introduces students to the concept that imbalances and contaminants in the watershed can cause disease and infection in humans. The first part of this unit begins with an introduction to the major concept of a watershed and how humans can have a direct impact on the chemicals and organic matter that are carried within. Students study how chemical contaminants including mercury, nitrogen, arsenic, and lead are introduced into the watershed and the clinical presentation of these contaminants in humans. Each contaminant includes real-world case studies—including the arsenic ground-water contamination in Bangladesh and the lead pipe incident in Washington DC.

Students will also learn about microbial pathogens including coliform bacterial species, Naegleria fowleri , and Cryptosporidium . All pathogens include examples of how they are introduced into the watershed, how they infect humans, and how to remediate these pathogens. Sample case study formats for the presentation of this material are included in the activities section, along with labs that students can perform.

Short Description:
The book includes details on how to analyze public-use data from five common national health surveys using SAS statistical software. It is an essential resource for future epidemiologists and other public health professionals!

Long Description:
National data sets provide an avenue for students to practice data analytic skills while also answering meaningful research questions. This open education resource was developed to train future public health professionals how to conduct secondary data analysis of national health surveys using SAS statistical software. SAS software was selected because it is one of the most commonly used software programs used among public health departments and academia. The book includes details on how to analyze public-use data from five common national health surveys, including the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and National Health and Nutrition and Examination Survey (NHANES). All datasets and corresponding syntax files are available from the Open ICPSR Data Repository.
