Changing the Tide: An Internet/Video Exercise and Low Fat Diet Intervention with Middle School Students

The rising tide of obesity erodes the health of youths and many times results in adult obesity. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effectiveness of an eight-session health promotion/transtheoretical model Internet/video-delivered intervention to increase physical activity and reduce dietary fat among low-income, culturally diverse, seventh-grade students. Those who completed more than half the sessions increased exercise, t(103) = −1.99, p = .05, and decreased the percentage of dietary fat, t(87) = 2.73, p = .008. Responses to the intervention by stage of change, race, and income are examined

The future of Obamacare

The United States, among democracies, was late in establishing universal health care for the same reason that the health care it has established, the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare or ACA) is wildly complex by the standards of most health systems. The basic problem is that the United States has a deliberately fragmented and fragmenting political system, rife with “veto players” who can change or frustrate legislation. It is far easier to block legislation in the United States than in other rich democracies. As a result health legislation in the United States is rarer, far more complex and full of the compromises needed to get anything passed

Interdisciplinarity and Inclusivity: Natural Partners in Supporting Students

Mathematics Across the Sciences is an applications-based course designed to strengthen students’ mathematical skills in preparation for calculus or for a major in the sciences. Its development relied heavily on input from faculty members in several science departments. This article describes the course; many of the scientific applications taught; pedagogical strategies; and scholarship on inclusion, equity, and diversity in education. These descriptions make clear that the goals of inclusion and academic excellence are intertwined, and an interdisciplinary approach can help each to improve

Debacle: Trump’s Response to the COVID-19 Emergency

Why did the United States, ranked as the world's best prepared country, fail so dramatically in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic? Part of the reason is the backdrop of a fragmented and largely market-driven health care system, part of the reason is a society marked by dramatic racial and economic inequality, but a key part of the reason is the structure of the public health system. The United States approach, which reflects the politics of American federalism, involves underinvestment and underpreparedness at every level of government except the federal. Effective response has to be led by the federal government. The complexity of the federal government is such that any effective federal response must be led by the White House. If the White House fails to lead, the federal government will fail to lead and the system as a whole will not be capable of effective public health response. That is exactly what happened in 2020.Instituto per gli Studli di Political Internazionale (ISPI), Milan.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/156411/1/Debacle 2.pdfDescription of Debacle 2.pdf : Main articleSEL
