The Population Data Used For A Community Health Centre

In 1788 European colonized Australia. Upon settlement, the native individuals lost their properties, social and cultural structure and in general, their way of life. Indigenous Australians were acknowledge with the good healthier, prior to the colonization. There were no contact with the outside world and infectious diseases were minimal. Due to the new illness from colonization, the population of indigenous was declined. Not only the illness, but a change in diet and loss of their connection between land and forest, which they believe as a part of their life and history lead to the many diseases. Such as obesity, heart disease, diabetics

A research report in 2011 by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) shows that a majority of long-term migrants entering the UK are young people entering to study or work. The health concerns of those entering the UK should be similar to the health concerns of UK born people of the same age group but in 2010, 60% of newly diagnosed cases of HIV and 80% of cases of Hepatitis B were found in non-UK born people. This research also

Heart and circulatory conditions contribute most to the disease burden of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and are major contributors to the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and other Australians. Research evidence shows that, as well as having higher rates of cardiac conditions, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have poorer access to health services aimed at preventing and treating cardiac conditions.

Immigration is an important aspect of research in the field of Health and Aging due to the changing

Immigrants not only have to adapt to a new culture, language, and social and economic systems that may be very diverse from their countries of origin, they also have to overcome many prior complications. Some immigrants and refugees arrive with infectious diseases; others with untreated chronic diseases such as vitamin deficiencies, diabetes and or hypertension. The health status of many immigrants in the United States varies upon lifestyle choices and the availability of resources that can be used to receive the appropriate care for these conditions. African and Latin immigrants represent the largest and fastest group of immigrants in the United States. The largest geographic areas of concentration are Washington D.C., New York City, Texas, California and Atlanta. Most public health reports involving theses immigrants have focused on infectious

First, they have high physical health need as a result of conditions such as poverty and abuse that may existed in their origin country or the difficulties they face during their journey from their home country. They are at risk of ill-health and need special health care when they reach their destination country and through resettlement. On the other hand, as they may be carry contagious disease they should be screened and quarantined to guarantee the health of host population (Lawrence & Kearns, 2005; Grove & Zwi, 2006). Moreover, it has proved by many studies that mental health problems are their main health concern. Most of them experienced violence, war, and torture in their home country before migration. Before reaching to the host country they were struggling to survive and they experience high level of stress and anxiety during resettlement. (Lawrence & Kearns,

North Lawndale is one of the 77 community areas in Chicago, located in the western area of the city between South Lawndale, Garfield Park, the Near West Side and Cicero (Steans Family Foundation, 2014).

This assignment will investigate the Community Health Profile for Oldham, a metropolitan borough within Greater Manchester. Oldham has a population of around 224,900 (Oldham Council, 2017). At present, there are several prominent health issues in Oldham, according to Public Health England’s Health Profile (2017), such as: levels of obesity in Year 6 children; under 18 conceptions and children in low income families. The intention of this assignment is to gather further evidence and talk in more detail about one specific health issue in Oldham, and how nurses can promote and improve the health of young individuals in this area.

I currently reside in Denver County, Colorado. I have chosen to assess and analyze this community for this assignment. Denver, Colorado is located east of the Eastern Foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver County is centrally located within the city of Denver, Colorado and includes the Denver International Airport located north-east of the city. The elevation of this county is 5,277 feet and therefore is nicknamed the “Mile-High City”. Denver County contains 154.9 square miles of land with a large amount of parks and rivers, of which 1.4 miles is water. (City and County of Denver, 2011).

Mexican American’s seem to have more traits that increase the risk of cardiovascular issues, (Winkleby) than white adults. According, to the article Mexican American are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease due to certain sub-factors. These factors contain an uncontrolled hypertension and being below the poverty line. Being below

It is imperative to health care professionals to be able to understand the demographic of their local community in order to effectively address their needs and provide quality care. This report will outline the population profile of Gordon-Killara, located in the upper north shore of Sydney, NSW. Australia is often perceived as a multicultural country where every region has a spread of people with different race, age, gender and socioeconomic status. These are all factors which contribute to profile of a community. This has a direct influence on the health care needs and services provided to the people of this area. Moreover, this report will compare the statistics of Gordon-Killara with the

During the 1970's and 80's refugees in Australia originated from South East Asia and Latin America (Taylor J. 2004). Presently the UNHCR stated the majority of refugee's entering Australia are from South-West Asia, the Middle East and Africa (UNHCR, 2015). In Australia, the health care system has been influenced by the United Kingdom and other western regions. The focus is predominantly biomedical, with doctors considered to be the experts on our health. This differs significantly to non-western regions whose health focus is more on spiritual healing and traditional medicine (Germov,

The decline in immigrant health status over time can be attributed to the acculturation process (Singh & Siahpush, 2001; Akresh, 2007)This hypothesis implies that culture that initially induces better health outcomes and lower mortality rates among immigrants begins to erode as immigrants acculturate and adapt to the negative health behaviors and lifestyles within the host society (Akresh, 2007; Angel, Buckley, & Sakamoto, 2001).In addition, the literature stresses other factors, such as: lack of access to the health care system (Abraído-Lanza, Chao, & Flórez, 2005), stress associated with migration (Newbold & Danforth, 2003; Biddle, Kennedy, & McDonald, 2007; Dean & Wilson, 2010), exposure to racism and anti-immigrant discrimination as well

A community health assessment is a fundamental instrument of public health practice. Its objective is to depict the health of the community, by presenting information on health standing, community health needs, resources, and epidemiologic and other studies of present local health problems. It seeks to recognize target populations that may be at augmented risk of poor health results and to increase a better understanding of their needs, as well as evaluates the larger community surroundings and how it relate to the health of people. It also identifies those areas where better information is desired, particularly information on health differences amid different subpopulations, quality of health care, and the incidence and severity of disabilities in the population. The Community Health Assessment is the foundation for all local public health development, giving the local health component the instance to recognize and network with key community leaders, businesses and concerned residents about health priorities and concerns. This information shapes the foundation of improving the health status of the community by way of a strategic plan (The Municipal Public Health Services Plan Community Health Assessment Guidance and Format, n.d.).

This report has been written to demonstrate the understanding of the specific needs of Travellers and Gypsies (TG). Currently, approximately 300,000 TG reside in the UK, the number continue increasing as Travellers from other countries move to the UK, (Ryder et al 2012). The aim of this report is to” examine issues that affect TG including health,
