Migrants' Health Problem and the Kingdon Model Framework
Migrants and other transient and underserved groups confront similar health problems as other disadvantaged groups, like the poor and new immigrants (MCN, 2014). Their health conditions proceed from food shortage or improper nutrition, infection, poor hygiene and an overall lack of resources. Their low income and dissimilarity with the culture are made worse by their migratory status and the health risks and other risks that accompany their unstable situation. They and their dependents are subjected to frequent and serious health risks more than the general American population. Their situation has not been adequately addressed because of the lack of sufficient adequate studies. Existing knowledge has mostly been gathered and formed from self-reporting efforts and recall of the migrants on their illnesses. Most of these self-reported recollections centered on social barriers, which stand on the way of the delivery of health care to them (MCN).
High-Risk Overall Health Conditions
Whatever is known or recorded on their conditions is not quantitatively evaluated (MCN, 2014). What is known is that these conditions are allowed to deteriorate into serious levels and stages. They verbally report an enormous number of minor ailments, many of which are symptoms of still...
Major health problems include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma and tuberculosis. Dental and prenatal diseased conditions and depression are also a serious concern. Due to the lack of adequate information and the presence of social barriers, not all the stakeholders are aware of the total picture. But the migrants are certainly aware of their situation. Some of them who manage to submit themselves to check-ups and treatments exhibit cultural reactions to therapy. Healthcare practitioners must choose who are most likely to cooperate with conventional therapy (MCN).
The Kingdon Model Framework -- Realities and Application
John W. Kingdon explains how agenda setting and politics are behind the legislative process, specially of healthcare (Unti, 2015). He offers a framework through which policies, such as healthcare policies, may be viewed within a situation of conflicting values and the social environment in which these are part, as in the health problems of migrants (Kubiak et al., 2005). It consists of three separate streams, namely, problems, policies, and politics. The first is the identified problem, which in turn, depends on the existing authoritative and updated data, which will motivate policy makers to do something about a given problem situation. This is how a…

Having a professional to talk to is very important, and a dentist can sometimes be extremely busy and not as available for consultation without making a separate appointment and paying extra. A hygienist generally has a bit more time to talk to patients, and while I would be limited in my duties and my ability to advise patients, I would not be limited in my joy and my encouragement
They found that 99% of licensed hygienists reported having experienced pain or discomfort while treating patients! The hygienists reported pain in the neck and shoulder region, hands, fingers, and lower back. Nelson & Jevack (2001) concluded, "Due to the number of students and licensed dental hygienists who experience pain...proper ergonomics should be enforced in dental hygiene education for future physical wellness and career longevity among dental hygienists" (p. 119).

Dental Care The purpose of rhetoric's is to persuade the reader to accept the authors' point-of-view. To that end, the authors take great pains in constructing their argument with emotion and pathos and certain structural stylistic skills that, he thinks, will best persuade the readers and grab their attention. Certain articles have to be written in a more authoritative tone than others, and other articles may have to be crafted in
Dental Assistance (dental Surgery) I started out as a dental assistant at 19, then became an instructor, and was promoted to a program director before opening my own teaching program in 2000. I work part time at a community college and teach my dental auxiliary courses on the weekends. In that way, I have an extensive background of practice, reflection, observation, and application that is connected to my job. Since I
Gadbury-Amyot (2005) examined how well a multifaceted approach to formal ethics instruction that includes community-based service-learning can improve learning and influence the students' attitudes and perceptions about their role as oral healthcare providers in such areas as access to care, disparity, and working in a diverse community. Students noted that service-learning was both professionally and personally enriching and made a significant impact on their person view as providers of health
It is established that proper dental hygiene such as brushing teeth, flossing, drinking fluoridated water, and using a fluoride rinse are helpful, but no studies have been conducted to determine how effective each of these measures actually are. Additionally, there is no current evidence as to the optimal time frame for proper treatment and prevention. Theoretical Framework / Methodology: This study will require a clinical application with short-term followup. The
