Plenary Session #1

Prioritizing the Elimination of Disparities as a Core Public HealthEffort

President's Welcome

Plenary Session #2

Unraveling the Mysteries of Heart Disease

The elimination of racial and ethnic disparities is an important priority for publichealth officials throughout the country. In general people of color have a larger burden ofdisease and likelihood of premature death than do white people. States can play a majorrole in addressing this issue even in difficult economic times. One approach - that of theMassachusetts Public Health Department - will be shared. Among the efforts of thisDepartment are the following: a change in hiring practices, the release of specialized datareports, the development of specialized, targeted programmatic campaigns, the distributionof funding to community-based agencies to target disparities, and the use of the bully pulpit.


ASSOCIATION

In the middle of the 20th century little was known about the underlying causes of cardiovasculardisease (CVD).Traditional strategies for CVD prevention are based on understanding risk factorcontributions to the biology of disease including basic science, epidemiology (i.e., observationalstudies), and large-scale clinical trials of interventions. These approaches work but have been slowand are poorly integrated. Future approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention will incorporateinformation from genetics and genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, and systems biology toidentify novel biomarkers for disease and incorporate them into risk assessment and to stimulatenew drug development.

Heart disease was once thought of as an unexpected and unpredictable event that struckpeople in the prime of life and without any advance notice. For this reason, there was nounified strategy for its prevention.We now know that heart disease typically occurs in thesetting of established risk factors. Our ability to identify risk factors for heart disease and toput together risk prediction formulas has greatly improved the identification of high-riskindividuals.This approach allows us to target cost-effective preventive treatment strategies tothose at greatest risk for disease. Risk assessment strategies are rapidly becoming anessential component of evidence-based medicine.

The President and Congress have made health care reform a top priority. Public healthofficials and activists have an important role in this effort although often overlooked in theplanning process.The experience of the state of Massachusetts in implementing the nation'smost ambitious state reform effort may offer some useful insights. Massachusetts now hasthe highest percentage of insured residents of any state - 98% of adults and virtually allchildren. This presentation will highlight the lessons learned in the Massachusettsexperience, particularly those regarding the role of public health. Among the topics that willbe addressed are the importance of prevention, the regulation of health care facilities andthe measurement of health impact.

#3 Assessing the Impact of Natural Disaster on Mississippi Women'sAccess to Reproductive Health Services

#4 The Health Impacts and Public Health Response to ClimateChange

#5 Obesity and Public Policy: DisturbingTrends and PromisingPractices

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina displaced hundreds of thousands of MississippiGulf Coastal residents, creating major interruptions in access, availability, and utilizationof health care.This study sought to document the impact of the disaster on Mississippiwomen's access to reproductive health services.The research design involvedcompletion of a survey toolkit. One hundred eight women, approached randomly whilevisiting a community health center clinic, completed the survey. Questions were chosenfrom the survey data based on relevance to reproductive health and family planning.

There is scientific consensus that the global climate is changing, with rising surfacetemperatures, melting ice and snow, rising sea levels, and increasing climate variability.These changes are expected to have substantial impacts on human health.There areknown, effective public health responses for many of these impacts, but the scope,timeline, and complexity of climate change are unprecedented.This presentation willprovide an overview of the public health approach to climate change, based on theessential public health services, that extends to both clinical and population healthservices and emphasizes the coordination of government agencies (federal, state, andlocal), academia, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations.

In the U.S., obesity (BMI 30) has reached epidemic proportions regardless of age,race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or education and continues to be a health concernfor adults, children, and adolescents. Health problems resulting from obesity couldreverse many of the health gains achieved in recent decades.The health burdenassociated with obesity will be felt in increased morbidity, premature death anddisability, increased health care costs, lost productivity, and increased stigmatization ordiscrimination.This session will provide a variety of information designed to helpattendees understand the severity of obesity by:

1. Presenting national, state, and local data on obesity rates,2. Describing national, state, and local policies that influence obesity,3. Estimating the economic impact of obesity,4. Identifying promising policies, programs, and practices designed to

combat obesity, and5. Estimating financial benefits from implementing interventions.

#9 Preparing for National Accreditation: Promoting QualityImprovement inYour Health Department

The goal of this workshop is to discuss strategies for improving the early identificationand management of mental health problems in medically underserved children as partof an Enhanced Pediatric Medical Home. During this session participants will have theopportunity to learn about and discuss: (1) existing evidence for the effectiveness ofcollaborative work between primary care medical clinicians and mental healthproviders, (2) different models of collaboration and strategies for their selection, and(3) models currently being used by health care teams supported by the Children’sHealth Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving access to health care forthe nation's most medically underserved children.

INShape Indiana and Get Fit Tennessee (GetFitTN) are both programs designed todecrease the burden of chronic disease and inspire citizens to engage in healthybehaviors.This session will explore the benefits of both programs and the pitfalls.The

challenges of health promotion, policy, priorities and politics at the state level will beviewed through the eyes of Indiana's State Health Commissioner.

The incidence of perinatal HIV infection has dropped dramatically in the United Statesdue to improvements in identification and medical management of HIV-infectedpregnant women. Since HAART (highly-active antiretroviral therapy) has been available,perinatally-infected children are now routinely surviving into adulthood.These facts,coupled with ever-increasing rates of HIV transmission among youth, account for theshift in pediatric HIV programs from care of terminally-ill children to outpatientmanagement of adolescents and young adults.This session will address advances inthe management of pediatric/adolescent HIV/AIDS, prevention of perinatal HIVtransmission, and the challenges of providing care to HIV-infected youth.

The Exploring Accreditation Report (Winter 2006-2007) is the foundational document forthe development of a voluntary national accreditation program and its standards.This sessionwill review the timelines and history from the Exploring Accreditation Report and the eventsand activities leading up to the beginning of the national accreditation application process in2011. Commissioner Allan will describe accreditation activities currently underway at theCuyahoga County Board of Health. Attendees will also learn of activities of the OhioVoluntaryAccreditationTeam (OVAT) and efforts underway to assist Ohio health departments inpreparing for national accreditation.

Healthy eating and maintaining a healthy weight take more than willpower.While foodchoices are ultimately a matter of personal responsibility and personal choice, thosechoices are influenced by the food environment. Dr.Wootan will explore howadvertising, food availability, restaurant foods, portion sizes, food pricing, and schoolenvironments often encourage eating too much.This session will outline promising policyand environmental approaches that can help to reshape the food environment andmake healthier choices easier.

The Mississippi State Department of Health continues to rank infant mortality as theagency's highest priority. Mississippi has experienced little change in infant mortalityover the past decade.The 2007 infant mortality rate was 10.1 per 1,000 live births.

This rate is slightly lower than the two prior years but there continues to be a highproportion of infant deaths related to low birthweight and premature birth.Thisphenomenon is also seen in vital statistics for neighboring southern states.

National voluntary public health accreditation is on the horizon and promises to bringgreater accountability and quality improvement to state and local public healthagencies. This session will explore the challenges and rewards of accreditation, alongwith strategies to prepare for accreditation.

Asthma is a disease that affects the lungs and is one of the most common long-termdiseases of children. It causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chesttightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing. Asthma can be controlled byfollowing a medical management plan and by avoiding contact with environmental“triggers.” This discussion will summarize the current status of pediatric asthmaoutcomes in Memphis andWestTennessee and efforts to improve asthma careoutcomes in the inpatient and outpatient setting, schools, and community.
