The conventional medicine (MD) has some big differences between the naturopathic medicine (NMD). MD usually views stress as something that will go away with time. An NMD will try to get to the bottom of why the stress is there, and have the patient change some of their lifestyle aspects to decrease the stress (What is naturopathy? – ntpagestv 2010). MD will usually view things from more of a modern medical standpoint, and include some sort of treatment involving medicine in the pharmaceutical form. NMD focuses more on balance and diet. NMD is the least invasive form of treatment, is more cost effective, and is more tailored to each patient (Sandford, 2022). Common healing techniques for Naturopathic offices usually entail message, dieting, getting sunlight, being outside, and more (What is naturopathy? – ntpagestv 2010).
Struggles that the Naturopathic profession has faced since it began in the early 1900s include the increased focus on technology and pharmaceuticals. The development of drugs such as anti-inflammatories bring quick and effective relief to patients, which became favored over naturopathic ways (History of naturopathic medicine, n.d.). With the increased popularity of drugs and technology there became a decrease in self responsibility. The alleviation of disease and illness became most important, rather than the underlying cause of disease (History of naturopathic medicine, n.d.).

How does the escalation of domestic violence during COVID-10 exemplify the concept of the continuum of violence? I
Week 4 GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND THE CONTINUUM OF VIOLENCE
Globally, one in three women will experience gender-based violence (GBV) at the hands of an intimate partner. Data shows that since the outbreak of COVID-19, GBV in the form of domestic violence, particularly targeted against women and girls, has escalated. In fact, domestic violence has been so pervasive during the pandemic that the UN has called it a shadow pandemic (UN, 2021).
Question #3. How does the escalation of domestic violence during COVID-10 exemplify the concept of the continuum of violence? In answering this question address: how women and girls have experienced GBV pre-conflict (pre-pandemic), conflict (during the pandemic) and how do you think women and girls might fare post-conflict (post-pandemic) as things get back to normal based on the status of women currently in society, e.g. whether you think levels of domestic violence will decrease as women and girls are able to spend more time outside of the home and the stress of the pandemic subsides.
WEEK #6 INTEGRATING A GENDER PERSPECTIVE-GENDER MAINSTREAMING AND GENDER ANALYSIS
A gender perspective is defined as a way of assessing gender-based differences of women and men reflected in their social roles and interactions, in the distribution of power and access to resources (NATO, 2012). We will expand on that definition to include all genders, plus intersecting factors such as those mentioned previously such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ageism, ability, income level or religious affiliation
In integrating a gender perspective, gender mainstreaming is a policy strategy which considers both women’s and men’s interests and concerns. A gender analysis is an important aspect of gender mainstreaming as a systematic methodology for examining the differences in roles and norms for women and men, girls and boys; the different levels of power they hold; their differing needs, constraints, and opportunities; and the impact of these differences in their lives.
Question #5. In applying a gender perspective, what were the impacts on different genders during the 2005 tsunami in Indonesia? In answering this question, address the following: the capacities and vulnerabilities of women and men prior to and after the disaster; how women and men were affected and responded differently to the tsunami and to what extent; the different roles women and men played in ensuring the survival of themselves, their families and communities in the face of disaster; the different resources (economic, financial, physical, natural, other assets) and information that were available to women and men at the time of the disaster.
What will be the impact on national resilience with this framework for the National Security Strategy?
The Department of Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security offered a unique insight into how this cabinet level agency viewed the issue.
The 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) was the document to offer this perspective.
The QHSR is an important foundational document in this discussion as it established multiple resilience goals and
objectives in the areas of critical infrastructure, supply chain systems, and cyber. The resilience of all of these areas,
and other sectors covered by the QHSR is a national imperative. Recent threat activities in the cyber sphere
underscores this need. From OPM, and Home Depot, to EQUIFAX and even the Department of Homeland Security itself
have suffered breaches.
DHS specifically noted in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR):
This second quadrennial review reflects a more focused, collaborative Departmental strategy, planning, and
analytic capability. The risk-informed priorities set forth in this Review will drive operational planning, as well as
analysis of resource and capability options and tradeoffs over the next four years. The Review also recognizes the
responsibility the Department shares with hundreds of thousands of people across the federal, state, local, tribal,
and territorial governments, the private sector, and other nongovernmental organizations, and provides a path
forward for engaging in public-private partnerships. These are the people who regularly interact with the public,
who are responsible for public safety and security, which own and operate our nations critical infrastructure and
services, who perform research and develop technology, and who keep watch, prepare for, and respond to
emerging threats and disasters.
It should come as no surprise that one of the five QHSR missions is devoted to resilience: Mission 5 Strengthening
National Preparedness and Resilience. It should be noted the Congressionally mandated 2018 QHSR was never
released.
But there are even more agencies, within the Department of Homeland Security such as the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, (FEMA) which released the country’s first-ever National Preparedness Goal in 2011. Again,
another foundational document dealing with resilience.
(Image: https://www.cisa.gov/)
The creation, in 2018, of the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) assed to the national
resilience effort. According to that agencys web site:
We coordinate security and resilience efforts using trusted partnerships across the private and public sectors and
deliver technical assistance and assessments to federal stakeholders as well as to infrastructure owners and operators
nationwide. CISA (n.d.) also delivers insights on these assessments related to current capabilities to identify gaps,
whichalong with an examination of emerging technologieshelp determine the demand for future capabilities (both
near- and long-term).
CISA has developed Sector Coordinating Councils (SCC) that are, self-organized and self-governed councils that
enable critical infrastructure owners and operators, their trade associations, and other industry representatives to
interact on a wide range of sector-specific strategies, policies, and activities. The SCCs coordinate and collaborate with
sector-specific agencies (SSAs) and related Government Coordinating Councils (GCCs) to address the entire range of
critical infrastructure security and resilience policies and efforts for that sector.
Finally, perhaps the document that is most talked about regarding resilience is President Policy Directives-8 or PDD-8.
Within this PDD a vision is presented for nationwide preparedness and identifies the core capabilities and targets
necessary to achieve preparedness across the following five mission areas: prevention, protection, mitigation,
response and recovery. Recognizing that preparedness is a shared responsibility, Presidential Policy Directive / PPD-8:
National Preparedness was signed by the President on March 30, 2011.
At its core, PPD-8 requires the involvement of everyonenot just the governmentin a systematic effort to keep the
nation safe from harm and resilient when struck by hazards, such as natural disasters, acts of terrorism and
pandemics. When you think about it in the purest sense, isnt that what resilience as an element of Homeland Security
really is?
One other Homeland Security resilience issue that has received a lot of focus from DHS Office of Academic
Engagement or OAE is the new Campus Resilience program. Released in April of 2018 this program which was based
on TableTop Exercises (TTX). This effort is driven by active shooter type events.
This policy directive calls on federal departments and agencies to work with the whole community to develop a
national preparedness goal and a series of frameworks and plans related to reaching the goal.
To help resilience get the kind of academic focus that it should the Department of Homeland Security Science and
Technology Directorate Office of University programs has established two academic centers of excellence. One is at the
University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) Coastal Resilience Center or CRC and one at the University of Illinois
Champaign-Urbana the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute or CIRI. To get an understand of the research that
has done please visit these links:
https://coastalresiliencecenter.unc.edu/
https://ciri.illinois.edu/
Finally, to get a real sense of where the issue of Homeland Security and resilience stands entering 2021 listen to the
speech by Dr. Stephen Flynn, the Founding Director of the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University, and
one of Americas true experts on resilience. The link for this closed caption Skype speech from the 2020 Maritime
Risk Symposium provides Dr. Flynns perspective on maritime resilience in the face of growing human-made and
naturally occurring turbulence.
As you consider this issue keep in mind that the new Administration has issued Interim National Security Strategic
Guidance. Noted the Congressional Research Service:
In drafting national security strategies, every administration faces central questions about how the U.S.
government should define and advance national security. The Biden Administration argues that the COVID-19
pandemic and other systemic issues, including (but not limited to) climate change and the rise of anti-democratic
authoritarian populism, are forcing the United States to take an expansive view of what constitutes matters of
national security. In so doing, the INSSG articulates some continuity with the Trump Administration in identifying
the challenge that strategic competition with China poses to U.S. national security. (Congressional Research
Service)
What will be the impact on national resilience with this framework for the National Security Strategy? This is what the
Congressional Research Service noted:
How might Interagency Resources be Rebalanced? Since 2001, the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S.
military have taken on missions beyond traditional warfighting responsibilities (including, but not limited to,
providing more security assistance and assisting with international disease responses). The State Department,
the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Trade Representative, and other agencies
provide critical national security capabilities, but possess narrower authorities and command fewer budgetary and
personnel resources.
How does national resilience get impacted or does it? Is there a direct connection between the NSS and national
resilience?
Write a program critique that examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a specific health need by addressing program risks, external barriers and program benefits.
IHP 670 Module Six Program Critique Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You will complete five program critique assignments in the course to support your work as you prepare for your final project. These assignments ask that you critique a program described
within an identified article located in the modules resources. These articles were chosen because they relate to the modules topics and demonstrate some common problems that programs
encounter. In each assignment, you will have the opportunity to critique certain program components, such as resources, activities, outcome measures, use of feedback loops, assumptions, and
external barriers. Once planners have identified the details for each of the program components, they must step back and assess how those components can best operate within the programs
environment. That involves considering concepts such as cultural competency, systems thinking, ethical practice, and others. You will focus on these different concepts, in turn, through the
program critiques. As you develop your program critique skills, you will be asked to identify areas that could be or need to be improved and offer recommendations.
In this assignment, you will critique a health or healthcare program selected for you. It is the program critique reading in the Resources section of the module. This is the only reading that can
be used for this assignment.
This assignment will help you examine activities used to improve participation in a sexual and reproductive health program. Pay particular attention to the activity that was designed to remove
an external barrier to care. Focus your critique on elements such as the risks involved, the benefits or desired results, and the intended results achieved to evaluate the programs ability to
adjust.
This program critique will help you plan for the risks and external barriers to your program and improve the programs ability to adjust and adapt over time.
Prompt
Write a program critique that examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a specific health need by addressing program risks, external barriers and program benefits. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. External Barriers to Care: External Barriers to Care: Describe why it is important to identify barriers that impede an individuals or a groups access to care. Consider the following question to guide your
response:
Why do you think the use of vouchers was effective or ineffective in achieving desired results?
2. Program Risks: Program Risks: Describe why identifying potential risks is important in program planning. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
What two risks did the program create?
What actions would you take to minimize these risks?
3. Program Benefits: Program Benefits: Describe what secondary benefits are achieved in addition to the desired results and their importance to stakeholders and the overall program. Consider the
following questions to guide your response:
Why is it important to appreciate these secondary benefits?
How would you let other program planners know about these secondary benefits?
4. Impact on Desired Results: Impact on Desired Results: Determine whether the planned activities achieved the desired results for the program and why you feel they did or did not achieve these results..
Consider the following question to guide your response:
How might the activities be adjusted for improving the programs desired results if the program were to run again in the future?
Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or module

Discuss one example of data from either the AHRQ site or National Quality Strategy site related to colonoscopy care and how this information could be valuable to a healthcare organization .
IHP 604 Module One Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You are the quality director at a long-term care facility. Your manager has asked you to investigate two areas of care: colonoscopy care and pressure ulcer injuries. Your facility has seen a
recent increase in their patients needing colonoscopy care that goes beyond what your facility can provide. It would be helpful to gather information on the quality of colonoscopy care by local
hospitals.
For pressure ulcer injuries, you are concerned about this quality indicator: the percentage of patients with pressure ulcer injuries that are new or that have worsened since their arrival at your
facility. In your facility, that quality indicator is 15% of residents, while the state percentage is 2.5%. Your manager has requested that you investigate how to improve this quality indicator in
your long-term care facility so that the percentage will become closer to the state percentage.
This assignment will help prepare you for your course project through the application and analysis of problem-solving frameworks.
Prompt
Part 1: Part 1: For the first part of this assignment, explore the following websites that are public sources of healthcare industry data: AHRQ;; Find and Compare Nursing Homes, Hospitals, and
Other Providers Near You; and About the National Quality Strategy. Take some time to review the content of each of these sites in terms of available data information, and then write a 1-page
paper on what you found.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Types of data information: Types of data information: Describe the types of data information that the find-and-compare website contains on providers and hospitals.
2. Data example: Data example: Discuss one example of data from either the AHRQ site or National Quality Strategy site related to colonoscopy care and how this information could be valuable to a
healthcare organization (you must provide the link for the data source that you used).
Part 2:Part 2: In the second part of this assignment, you will select a process improvement framework from the list in the first item below and then apply that framework to your goal of lowering
your facilitys metrics on pressure ulcer injuries. Nursing Home Pressure Ulcer Rates: Spring 2019 provides data on pressure ulcer injuries in long-term care facilities. You should consider
preventative measures such as understanding which residents are at higher risk, ensuring frequent changes in their position, providing proper nutrition, and using specialized beds to reduce
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Differentiate between frameworks: Differentiate between frameworks: Differentiate between the following problem-solving/performance improvement frameworks by examining their goals and processes:

Touch on the following questions in your response: Should we be concerned about a politician who has extramarital affairs? Drinks to excess? Gambles? Use Drugs? Abuse his or her spouse? What if the person is a police officer? A judge? Should a female police officer be sanctioned for posing naked in a men’s magazine, using pieces of her uniform as “props”? Should a probation officer socialize in bars that his or her probationers are likely to frequent? Should a prosecutor be extremely active in a political party and then make decisions regarding targets of “public integrity” investigations of politicians?
2. Write an essay about (or discuss) a difficult ethical dilemma that you faced. What was it? What were the options available to you? Who was affected by your decision? Were there any laws, rules, or guidelines that affected your decision? How did you make your decision?

Ethical Dilemma: Determining Moral Behavior
Situation 1
You are a manager of a retail store. The owner of the store gives you permission to hire a fellow classmate to help out. One day you see the classmate take some clothing from the store. When confronted by you, the peer laughs it off and says the owner is insured, no one is hurt, and it was under $100, “Besides, ” says your acquaintance, “friends stick together, right?” What would you do?
Situation 2
You have a best friend who has confessed a terrible secret to you. Today the man is married and has two children. He has a good family, has a good life, and is a good citizen. However, 14 years earlier he killed a woman. A homeless person was accused of the crime but died before he could be tried and punished. Nothing good can come of this man’s confession. His family will suffer, and no one is at risk of being mistaken as the murderer. What would you advise him to do?
Determining Moral Behavior-Assignment
*Please do both assignments*
1. Write an essay on (or discuss) whether civil disobedience is ever justified. Discuss war protesters or antiabortion activists who are arrested for trespassing and so on. If you believe that civil disobedience might be justified, when and in what circumstances would be acceptable?
2. Write an essay on (or discuss) how the government should distribute societal resources such as education and healthcare. How would you answer the argument of a couple who did not believe they should have to pay school taxes because they have no children? What about the argument that rich school districts should share their wealth with poor districts (keeping in mind that those who pay higher taxes in that district might have moved there because of the reputation of the school)? What are the arguments for and against universal healthcare?

How do we perceive the world around us? What catches our attention and makes us want to remember something?
Module Overview1.html
Social Cognition and Social Perception
How do we perceive the world around us? What catches our attention and makes us want to remember something? Why do we make some decisions on the spot while others take much longer to make? These are all questions asked by social cognition theorists.
Social cognition is defined as how we think about the social world and how we process the information that we receive. It deeply involves the field of cognitive psychology and helps us understand why we make the choices that we do (Fiske, 2019). One of the key topics studied by social cognition researchers are schemas. Schemas are the mental models that we create for the world (Fiske, 2019). For instance, we all have a schema or mental image of what a classroom looks like. You also have a schema for what happens in a doctors office because you have been in one. You may even have a schema for what Paris, France, is like, even if you have never been there. Social cognition studies how we create these schemas for events that we have experienced as well as for places we may have never been before.
The second topic from this module is social perception. Social perception is a component of social cognition and is focused on how we perceive and understand the behavior of others. One of the key topics studied by social perception theorists is nonverbal behaviors used in communication. The purpose of studying nonverbal behavior is to better understand and interpret another persons body language so we can better communicate with them (Kassin et al., 2021).
Another topic studied by social perception theorists is attribution theory. Attribution theory, made famous by Fritz Heider, helps us find the source of a persons behavior (Kassin et al., 2021). Heider stated that a persons behavior is caused by an interaction between that persons personality and their environment. However, Heider noted that if you are observing a persons behavior, you tend to assume that their behavior is caused by their personality and not by their environment (Cialdini & Griskevicius, 2019). Simply put, if you are rushing because you are late for your train, a stranger observing you might think that you are a person who is always in a hurry even if this is an uncommon occurrence for you.
Social cognition and social perception theories are so essential to the field of social psychology that they can be found in every module in the course. These two topics can be used to help us understand behaviors such as prejudice and aggression, as well as more positive topics such as empathy and helping. There is hardly a topic in this course that has not been impacted by these two theories.
