Abstract:
This pilot study investigated a manualized lifestyle-based intervention, Physically Active Lifestyle Modification (PALM) program, designed to increase physical activity in the daily life routines of Taiwanese older adults and improve their quality of life. Thirty older adults who attended a Senior Citizens Learning Camp in Taiwan participated in the program. Quantitative measures and qualitative interviews were employed to study the intervention's effect on quality of life and to capture participants' subjective experiences in the program. Results revealed significant improvement in both physical and mental component summary of the RAND 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. Interview data revealed 4 key themes: change in action, self-awareness of occupational pattern, acquisition of health information, and social participation.Keywords:

This study aimed to better understand campus mental health culture and student mental health coping strategies, and to identify the mental health needs of students as well as gaps in mental health services within postsecondary education. A videovoice method was used to identify and document health-related issues and advocate for change. Forty-one interviews were conducted with campus stakeholders at five universities. Five themes involving mental health emerged from the campus interviews: the stigma of mental illness; campus culture related to mental health; mental health services available and barriers to mental health services on campus; accommodations for students’ mental health needs; and student mental health coping strategies. A documentary was developed to advocate for better mental health. We conclude that although Canadian campuses are raising awareness about mental health issues, there is not enough mental health infrastructure support on campuses; in particular, accessibility to campus mental health resources needs improvement.

In this paper, problems connected to the adaptation of EU cereal intervention in Hungary are discussed. Statistical evidence is provided about the two record years of intervention in Hungary proving that farmers did not take part in intervention though the system was sought to be tailored to farmers' needs. Intervention purchases took place at the wholesale level and traders were the most active participants in both intervention periods. This dynamic intervention activity of traders will significantly alter the Hungarian trade sector by bringing it closer to the physical processes of the cereal chain. As to the size of intervention, the great volume of the purchase of maize has resulted in an exceptionally severe problem considering the large surplus of Hungarian cereals. Recently, the Commission hampered maize intervention in Hungary by excluding this crop from cereals eligible for intervention. This measure is criticised in the paper, as we deem it unnecessary in recent market conditions, and in our view it doesn't make up the compulsory need for a complex reconsideration of recent EU cereal policy on the long term.

This study was designed to assess the efficacy of a brief parent report intervention for increasing preschoolers’ physical activity participation. Children wore accelerometers for three days and parents subsequently received a report of their child’s average daily physical activity in comparison to national recommendations. Post-intervention physical activity was assessed using accelerometers. Following the intervention, participation in moderate physical activity increased by 5.12 minutes per day on average. Vigorous physical activity did not increase significantly following the intervention. A brief parent report of physical activity may provide an effective intervention to increase preschooler’s’ physical activity participation as part of larger physical activity promotion efforts.

Timing of intervention is crucial, and different timings of intervention may lead to diametrically opposite outcomes. This chapter describes the relationship between disease risk, intervener, and interventions and the timing of intervention. The relationship between disease risk and intervention timing is to explain how to grasp the timing of intervention according to the disease risk through different stages of the development of the same disease. In the section of interveners and intervention timing, two examples are used to elaborate how interveners influence intervention timing. In the section of intervention means and intervention timing, two examples are also used to illustrate the importance of choosing intervention timing according to the fit of interveners and interventions.

Factors affecting mental health service utilization among Latino Americans with mental health issues
In contrast to their white counterparts, Latino Americans are less likely to utilize mental health services.Guided by the Behavioral Model of Health Service Utilization, this study examined factors affecting use of mental health services and dropouts from mental health services among Latino Americans with mental health issues.This is a secondary analysis utilizing data from the National Latino and Asian American Study. Seven hundred 88 Latinos with mental health issues were included in this study. Logistic regression analyses were conducted.Being older, having health insurance, having self-perceived need for mental health services, having mental health service need perceived by others and a greater number of probable psychiatric disorders were associated with the use of mental health services among Latinos with mental health issues. Among 194 Latino mental health service users, being younger, not having health insurance, and having a lower level of family support were associated with dropouts from mental health services.The findings suggest that education is needed to help Latino Americans recognize the need for mental health services. In addition, policies are needed to address financial difficulties in accessing mental health services.

Aims: Paramedics are often patients' first point of contact during mental health crises, and are increasingly responding to mental health emergencies. Paramedic training focuses predominantly on trauma and emergency physical healthcare rather than mental health difficulties. A UK-based pilot evaluation study aimed to find out whether providing mental health ‘insight’ placements for paramedic students in a local mental health trust would improve their understanding of patients with mental health issues, particularly from working alongside mental health practitioners. Methods: A pre- and post-experience questionnaire was used to elicit the students' understanding of mental health. Conclusion: The tentative conclusion is that the placement increased students' understanding of mental health services and mental health patients' needs, and they gained a greater understanding of mental health concepts. Being in direct contact with mental health colleagues in practice ensured that they could link mental health theory learned as part of their degree to their experience and gain insight into multiprofessional working.

This leadoff piece examines the ethics of intervention in light of recent policy and academic debates on the subject. It proceeds from an examination of the reasons for intervention today to an assessment of the moral and legal traditions governing intervention and also provides a review of selected cases of intervention recently confronting U.S. foreign policy.
