State Insurance Programs for Low Income Children
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. This critical analysis focuses on a summary of an article on low-income children. Comparisons were made because it had been found that uninsured children were much less likely to go to the doctor for common childhood ailments, they had less immunity built up against disease, and they had no common pediatric doctor. These uninsured children are more likely to be hospitalized for potentially preventable problems. It has been found that uninsured children were likely discharged from the hospital very soon after birth and to have increased health risks after birth as well. Bibliography lists 1 source.

statements published both currently and 10 years prior, illustrating that the need has not
diminished in the decade between dates of publication. It also discusses changing demographics
within the US and the dearth of research of recent years, while noting that the current trend

Stroke And Tissue Plasminogen Activator
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Medical technology continues to overcome significant impediments with regard to the most puzzling and frustrating treatment issues; one of the most encouraging findings of the twentieth century has been the working relationship between cerebral vascular accident (stroke) and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). The breakthrough that has occurred is the manner by which t-PA – when administered within the restrictive window of three hours after the attack – has clinically demonstrated the ability to disintegrate the proteins responsible for causing the blood clot, where the outcome includes immediate mobility and drastically reduced rehabilitative therapy, if any at all. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Substance Abuse Counseling and Treatments
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing substance abuse counseling and treatments for people addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. Substance abuse counseling is an area within the social and therapeutic services discipline which requires counselors to have a high level of education (a B.A. with a Master’s preferred) and previous counseling experience and requires long and stressful counseling sessions, is not high paying and has a high burn out rate. Nevertheless, the necessity for substance abuse counselors in today’s society grows as does the incidence of alcohol and drug abuse especially in the adolescent populations. In addition to educational requirements, counselors must be skilled in many aspects of treatment and therapies including individual, group and family therapies as well as many techniques which include motivational therapy, relapse prevention, the Matrix-Model, supportive-expressive therapy, behavioral therapies and most recently recreational therapeutic programs in addition other external support programs such as the well proven 12-step programs introduced by Alcoholic Anonymous.
