ACA Preventive Services-Health Status
Here is the assignment:
1. Review the three (3) covered services you chose for each of the three (3) groups: Services for Adults; Services for Women, Including Pregnant Women and Services for Children. Next, pick out any state in the United States and report a health status indicator associated with each of the three (3) services you chose. Try to use the most current secondary health data you can find.
For the United States I suggest using the website below:
https://www.americashealthrankings.org/
https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/
health status associated with the Service for Adults;
health status associated with the Service for Women; and,
health status associated with the Service for Children.
2. What is your state doing (what is going on in your state or a local community/ies) to promote the utilization of each of the Preventive Health Services you chose and are covered in the Affordable Care Act?
health status associated with the Service for Adults;
health status associated with the Service for Women; and,
health status associated with the Service for Children.
The Three Covered Services
1. Adult: Depression Screening
It interests me because in the modern times, many adults are under the case of depression without people around them knowing. This is halting their future. One basic fact is that mild depression can become more serious for the adults. The way I can take action is provide awareness to the adults and good news for treatment. People will take advantage of it because they want to go for therapies and outcomes in order to treat their depression.
2. Children: Drugs and Alcohol Use
It interests me because in the present times, because of lack of parental guidance, children are becoming victim of drug and alcohol abuse. One basic fact is that children become victim of it and they do not even know the consequences. The way I can take action is provide the children with guidance and also making them learn how to say no. People will take advantage of it because they will find a way to improve their coming generations.
3. Women: Contraception Screening
It interests me because currently women face the dilemma of abortion because they lack the knowledge of birth control ways. One basic fact is that women end up in abortion because of the lack of resource they have to afford the child. The way I can take action is by providing control ways which women could use and planning their complete birth system. People will take advantage of it because it will give them peace of mind and also protection towards having a happier family.
The three conclusions I have drawn arethat generation is most important for the society and thus it is important to make sure that they are given first priority to make sure that each born child is healthy, and has bright future.
