Extractions: Indicators of Nutritional Status The low prevalence of underweight among children in the PedNSS indicates that acute malnutrition is not a public health problem in the American Indian and Alaska Native children. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. Anemia is an indicator of iron deficiency, which is associated with developmental delays and behavioral disturbances. In the 1997 PEDNSS, 18.4% of children under 2 years and 16.9% of children aged 2 to 5 years had anemia. American Indian or Alaska Native children have a rate of anemia of 18.6%. Anemia was highest (25% or higher) in Alabama, Arizona, the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma, DC, Maryland, and Mississippi. The increasing trends of overweight children in the general US population is consistent with the findings from the PedNss. Overweight American Indian/Alaska Native children aged 2 to 5 years has risen from 10 - 12% from 1989 to 1997. This is second only to Hispanic children who prevalence has been the highest for 8 out of the 9 years studied.

Extractions: After helping Southcentral Foundation perfect the art and science of advanced access scheduling in the 45,000-patient clinic where he works, Douglas Eby, MD, MPH, somewhat unexpectedly, says this: "We want to tell the world: Itâs not about access . Access is only a tool that helps create relationships because it breaks down barriers. Relationships are really what itâs all about." It is only through solid relationships, says Eby, that you can begin to get at insidious underlying health issues such as depression, domestic violence, and obesity. Eby is vice president of medical services for Southcentral Foundation (SCF) at the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) in Anchorage, Alaska, USA, a Native owned and managed 150-bed hospital and large medical center with more than 375,000 outpatient visits annually. The clinic serves the urban sprawl of Anchorage, as well as more than 50 remote villages in a 100,000-square mile catchment area that is so large it would be Americaâs seventh largest state. The story of ANMC is the story of remarkable vision, persistence, progress and change. It is the story of how this once federally-owned clinic â "a big, impersonal, âcrank-âem-throughâ type place," says Eby, where most primary care was delivered in urgent care or emergency room settings â transformed itself into a customer-owned and directed system that provides same-day access to holistic, integrated, family-centered primary care.

Following the creation and expansion of the domestic food assistance programs in the second half of the 20th century, severe hunger, which had been a significant national problem, has become rare. The food assistance programs were developed in several steps. Concerns about the nutritional status of young men drafted for service in World War II led to the enactment of the National School Lunch Act in 1946. The Food Stamp Program was established on a pilot basis in the early 1960s, and extended nationwide in the early 1970s

Extractions: EXAMPLES OF CURRICULA/PROGRAMS "Intervention specialists" or mental health counselors should be available at each school to provide training to teachers/school personnel on identifying early warning signs to negative or disruptive behavior, barriers to learning and student success, and provide guidance and intervention strategies. In addition, these specialists serve as a mediator/facilitator when conflicts between students do arise. Some schools have implemented "Solution Centers" where children can go/teachers can refer students during conflicts. The intervention specialists mediate the discussion of how to best solve the conflict. Initial reports indicate substantial improvement in student behavior in places where programs such as these have been implemented. Classrooms and buildings should receive the necessary funds to facilitate repairs/improvements necessary to provide a safe and healthy environment in which children can learn.
