" (National Association of School Psychologists, 2004) the integrity of treatment will be "maximized if the intervention's goals and plan are developed in a culturally sensitive and cooperative manner." (National Association of School Psychologists, 2004) it is stated that implementation problems "...may be linked to unidentified variables." (National Association of School Psychologists, 2004) if this should be the case, it is necessary to explore openly potential barriers. In the evaluation of the intervention, the parents should not be under a negative judgment when goals are failed in being met but instead the goals should be acknowledged as unmet and then barriers to treatment success should be collectively reviewed then designed and implemented.
II. GENDER SENSITIVE INTERVENTIONS
The 10th Annual Conference "Aggression and Suicide Among Children and Youth: Focus on Gender Differences" relates that increasing evidence exists that boys and girls "differ in the development, expression and consequences of aggressive behavior toward others, as well as themselves." This conference was announced to educators, guidance counselors, social workers among others due to the importance of: (1) recognizing gender differences in the development of aggressive and self-injurious behaviors; (2) conducting evidence-based gender-sensitive interventions; (3) assessing suicidality and provision of intervention to treat childhood depression; and (4) implementation of universal indicated and selected interventions at multiple levels to prevent aggressive behavior. (Melissa Institute, 2006)
The importance of gender sensitivity in an educational health program is noted in the work of FRESH 'Focusing Research on Effective School Health' (2008) which states that the FRESH framework "provides the context for effective implementation of skills-based health education programs." (FRESH, 2008) FRESH states that skills-based health education "does change behavior" and notes the studies as follows:
1) USA - Sexuality and HIV education: implemented in four New York City Schools and focused on "correcting facts about AIDS, teaching cognitive skills to appraise risk of transmission, and increasing of knowledge and values, understanding external influences and teaching skills to delay intercourse or to consistently use condoms."

Introduction, Problem Statement, Objectives and Aims, and Significance of Practice Problems: HYPERTENSIONAs previously reported, hypertension is a pervasive public health concern that affects millions of individuals worldwide (Fang et al., 2021). Despite the availability of effective pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, the management of hypertension remains suboptimal, particularly among minority populations. Racial and ethnic disparities in hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control have been well-documented, contributing to disproportionate rates of cardiovascular
Educational Situations Name four practices that commonly require written administrative procedures. Memorandums that include school policy changes or important information for the staff are commonly distributed in writing so that the information is accurately conveyed and properly received and documented. Many staff communications to the administration, such as requests for new classroom supplies or for personal leaves of absence, are also communicated in writing.

E., combination classes or multi-grade and single grade classes). Further, operationalizing the terms context and composition would have greatly aided the reader in interpreting the study's results.

Generally, it works by either giving a reward for an encouraged behavior, or taking something away for an undesirable behavior. By doing this, the patient often increases the good behaviors and uses the bad behaviors less often, although this conditioning may take awhile if the rewards and removals are not sufficient to entice the patient into doing better. Existentialism is important to discuss here as well, and is often seen
