The Return of Infectious Disease.
[ send me this paper ]
(7 pp). The plague in India, cholera in Rwanda and Zaire, tuberculosis in the US - diseases we thought we had conquered, are returning with a vengeance throughout the world, claims Laurie Garrett, Health and Science Writer for Newsday. Rising population densities, the advent of jet travel, environmental destruction, and changing social mores are among the many factors exacerbating the emergence and spread of disease. Taking stock of the multitude of emerging or reemerging diseases, scientists today know that microbes--far from being eradicated--pose an unprecedented threat to human health.

The Right to Die
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the medical and legal issues involved with a patient’s “right to die”. The “right to die” for a patient has long been considered an ethical issue and was not considered feasible until modern medicine and laws allowed for the possibility of patients to consider physician assisted suicide. Supporters of physician assisted suicide believe that patients have the right to make their own informed decisions about their medical treatment which may include physician assisted suicide if they are suffering and have a terminal illness. Opponents believe that to legally allow for physician assisted suicide begins the path down a slippery slope and in cases where comatose patients are considered does not protect the most vulnerable members of society when family members and physicians decide their fate where other factors not for the sake of the patient, such as financial concerns, are weighed against what is considered an acceptable level of life. Physician assisted suicide does exist however and in all cases, several issues must be addressed to respect the patient’s medical options, informed decision making, psychological well being, and in some cases the right to chose death over circumstance which should not be denied by the courts.

The Rise of Private and Public Health Care
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing several issues of health care, including costs, managed care, the rise of professionalism and the marginalization of public health. We are still debating whether access to health care is a right or a privilege. The existence of public health facilities and services indicates that it will continue to be viewed as a right, but we are about to be faced with a sizeable population that fits neither the marginalized nor the privileged categories. The next focus of debate likely will center on what to do with that portion of the population. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Role of Health Psychologists in Smoking Cessation
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper on the role of health psychologists in smoking cessation. The Website of the Health Psychology Associates (http://www.healthpsych.com/) addresses issues related to the research, treatments and role of health psychologists in the health care setting. One area of particular concern for health psychology is smoking. Essentially, health psychologists are concerned with the psychological and biomedical reasons for why people are addicted to smoking and have difficulty stopping and what treatment programs can be initiated to help people stop smoking. Research has found that people begin and continue smoking from a combination of social, psychological, and biological factors. In smoking cessation therapies health psychologists have found that a combination of psychological, social and biological factors are also the most effective in that patients are instructed on the use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in addition to the more important aspects of personal and social counseling, coping strategies, skill management and stress reduction throughout the stages of contemplation of smoking cessation through until well after action and maintenance of smoking cessation. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
