Conclusion section

The relationship of obesity and depression is a young topic that research is now just getting into. For future research papers, it would probably be best to see if there are any other risk factors that may cause these to happen to each other; such as ethnicity, possibly what age is more prevalent and what is the best way of treating this comorbidity. This would be helpful for the community because it allows the population to see what other factors play a role and allows education of who is at greater risk and why. What age is it most common for both disorders because than a plan can be set to look for these symptoms during the patients, this is important because adolescent isn’t the most common age for depression, so seeing how a major impact of depression; such as, being diagnosed with Major depression disorder will affect one’s weight and lifestyle. Also, finding out what method of treatment is most helpful. This is important because just finding out there is a problem may allow the community to know and realize what is going on, but it doesn’t help if they don’t know who to be treated. It could be exercise to help bring down the weight, possibly boosting confidence or it could be therapy by improving one’s confidence and it could even be both. It is possible to see other researchers going down this path or even going into more detail on one of the topics that are used in this paper. If this is done the papers most likely to be used are going to be journal articles that show proof of how a possible topic is shown, it is also crucial that the writer also understands the data, allowing them to describe how it is a good article. A possible topic that could be very helpful is how bullying is a major contributor to depression for those that are obese.  This could have been a crucial topic for this literature review and possibly could have a significant impact on the adolescents lives. The future of this topic will grow and become more detailed because obesity and depression have been known as a growing factor in this country and could be a common topic.

The beginning of this chapter talks about a story on how public health has changed and how battles we are supposed to win, we have lost now. After this it talks about how a British academy found a possible look at what public health will look like in 2040. There were many things that have improved; such as, nutrition, air quality and smoking. The problem is that as these improve, it also shows areas that are getting worst; such as, sedentary lifestyles, impact of sugar, fast food and the impacts of stressful lifestyles and worsening of mental health.

The chapter then goes on bringing back the definition of public health. The purpose of this is that it shows that public health has changed throughout time and will continue to change. The reason for this is that public health changes based on its environment and what the current situations are. This is shown how bacteria was the main concern for the beginning of public health and now how chronic diseases are the current problem focused on. It also talks about how these focuses have made advancements in public health.

The next section is topics and tactics, it talks about how public health seems to take care of the community when there is a problem. An example of this is when the swine flu arrived in 2009 and the WHO was criticized for overreacting , but as the WHO explained it was better to overreach instead of taking the risk of the situation being worst. Now public health is trying to change their lifestyles to prevent chronic disease; for example, they are trying to control the environment such as labeling now.

It then goes talking about how tactics will need to be changing. It first starts talking about how antimicrobial resistance is now becoming a bigger and bigger problem from the overuse of antibiotics. Genetics testing is now a greater part of our health because it allows scientist to find out what connections of genes and diseases there are.

This chapter then goes on talking about Ethics and how it is their duty to do no harm. It then goes on talking about target groups, Education, Social Media, New Technology. These are all important because as education grows, the better the population will be prepared for diseases. As different diseases come, new target groups will come, just as now the older populations are targeted more. Now last is with social media and new technology, it is better to keep the world notified from the current events.

I find it interesting that all these are new topics, but as times change there will be new advancements, leading to new tactics and innovative ways to promote public health. As technology gets better there could also be causing latest problems, just as now how there is over testing and overreaction to any sign of diseases. I will be able to use this information in the public health by knowing that new technology will allow for new ways to reach the community and as stated before that as times change, so will the definition of public health.

This chapter mainly talks about what public health focuses on and also what tactics are known to be used in the public health field. The first go on talking about how concerns have changed over time and how it will continuously change overtime. It talks about how cigarettes are a big problem in many countries, but have made places non-smoking in Europe to help reduce the amount of smoking in the country. It is also known that e-cigarettes are now very popular and could lead to more health problems along the way. Alcohol drinking is a problem in Europe, especially since they have a younger age of drinking and it is part of some cultures. They have made efforts into making drinking seem less like a daily activity. Obesity is the next problem and is shown that if nothing is changes over 50% of males and females in the UK will be obese and over 25% of children will also be obese.  These are just some of the examples that were brought up. The tactics used by public health are health education, information and persuasion. This is still used but with some modifications sense there are innovative ways for the public to learn about the problems. This chapter then goes on talking about the people that make up the public health works force; known as, Specialist, practitioner and the wider workforces. The specialist are those who find difference ways to improves the populations lifestyle. The practitioner workforce main duty was to influence the population on having a healthier lifestyle. the wider workforces were the group who had the most diversity because it was literally anyone and the community and they were used for the same reason of promoting a healthier lifestyle. The last sections of this chapter is globalization and public health. This first goes into how public health has now turned into a global problem instead of a local. The reason for this is because it is very easy for people to travel so what disease one person has, can easily find its way to another location or country.

I find it interesting how they mention that public health is always going to change. This shows that working in the public health field, there will always be work that needs to be done, every day will be different because as a problem leaves, a new one will come and that there will most likely be a time in the future where something we haven’t seen before will come and we will need to find a way to slow down the damage or stop it. I also like how they mention globalization because at the university they mainly mention public health issues as a country or a local area, but it is also interesting to know that what happens in one country will also have an impact on another.

I could use this info in the future if I work in the public health field by knowing that there are multiple ways to present a problem, that there will be different obstacles to face every day and also knowing that as one problem is being fixed, there is more that can be done to help the community.

This chapter is meant to show the definition of “Public Health”. It first gives different regions of Public health; such as, local, state, national and the international level, also known as the World Health Organization (WHO). It Then goes on talking about what different impacts are made from each. The definitions are then given from different periods of time such as when Donald Acheson; the British Chief medical officer, said that public health was “the science and art of preventing disease, prolong life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society”. Just sixteen years later Derek Wanless; a British businessman, gave his definition as “The science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informal choice of society, organizations and private, communities and individuals”. The most important part of this chapter is when it starts giving definitions of Public health. The reason for this is because it gives definitions over a period, allowing the reader to see the changes of public health. It shows that in the 18 and 19^th century the focus was on the environment and sanitation. In the end of the 19^th century the focus of public health changed to more germs and bacteriology; which then lead to vaccines and therapies for specific diseases and extra precautions when it came to food and water. Then in the 20^th century the focus changed to diseases than more bacteria. This was trying to prevent disease from occurring from lifestyle choices but in the late 80s the arrival of HIV/AIDS came and the focus grew on both infections disease and chronic diseases. It then goes to try segmenting public health from individual lifestyle, social and culture. The last part of this is critiquing Public health on if its focus is correct, is it part of state and nanny state.

This chapter’s focus is to show how Public health has changed over time and will continually change as time goes on. There are multiple reasons for the many changes. One is that people don’t stay in charge forever and as the head of an organization changes, so will their impact on the community. As shown in the beginning of the paragraph people will give different definitions for public health. The next reason is that public health will react to what the major concerns of health are at that time. Also, shown in the book it changed from bacteria to chronic diseases to now infections and chronic diseases. Now last is the critiquing and there will always be people who are satisfied or believe public health organization aren’t doing the right thing. The reason for this is because public health is a very broad topic and can be seen in many ways. What I will learn from this chapter is that public health will change over time and it is for the best because when one problem is fixed there will always be another. I will also learn that there will always be something people believe is wrong or the incorrect move with public health, but this has taught me you can’t satisfy everyone.
