Health Advocacy Campaign
The basic purpose of the consumer education programs is to promote awareness about the effects that tobacco has on our health. These programmes have basically been made in a way to induce fear in the people in order to emphasize the largest cause of preventable death all around the world and to make the young people stop smoking (Fletcher, 2007).

It has been noticed through the researches that were conducted in United States and Australia that smoking rates in case of the general public have decreased but when it comes to students the trend has increased (see for example, AIHW, 2002; Tevyaw 2006). It was noted by Tevyaw (2006) that the rate of smoking in the people of 18-24 of age especially in case of the student in the U.S. has not only remained stabled but even increased in the last decade.

Health Advocacy Campaign - Childhood Obesity
Childhood Obesity

Most of the health issue that people face on a day-to-day basis do not become pandemics. But this is not the case with obesity. Over a billion people are affected by obesity worldwide (Miller, et al., 2004). The statistics are particularly discouraging for children who are obese. Children who have a body mass index (BMI) that is greater than the figures in the 85th percentile for their age and gender are considered to be obese (Miller, et al., 2004). During the past three decades, the number of children identified as obese under that standard has tripled (Miller, et al., 2004). In the United States, more than 30% of the children are overweight or obese, with BMI measurements greater than the 95th percentile (Miller, et al., 2004). The International Obesity Task Force has estimated that, across the globe, 22 million children under five years of….

Part one outlined the extent of child obesity in the United States. The effect of obesity is that it has strained the American healthcare system by increasing the prevalence of various deceases that are associated with obesity. Child obesity is a prevalent and major health concern among the American parents. Several campaigns have been carried out in America with the aim of reducing the prevalence of the disease in the American Community (O'Malley et al., 2014). Some of them include “Action for Healthy Kids Weight Loss Campaign” and the “LET’S MOVE Healthy weight campaign.” Both campaigns targeted the reduction of childhood obesity and aimed at providing avenues through which children can be prevented from becoming obese. In the first part, I outlined my advocacy campaign that equally aims at contributing to the fight against obesity. This advocacy campaign focused on child diet. It outlined a healthy deity for babies from….

Developing an Advocacy Campaign that Addresses Obesity Ethical Considerations
Ethics is essential in the advocacy campaign about people with obesity. Nurses have specific ethical standards that help to regulate their practice. These ethical standards can also be used in their advocacy campaign. One of the ethical standards includes the fact that the nurses should maintain a high level of collaboration. Since the advocacy campaign incorporates the relationship among the nurses, the patients, and the society, they should be careful not to divulge personal information of the patients with diabetes. Therefore, enhancing their social understanding would enable them to address the issues affecting people with obesity uniformly. The advocacy campaign also involves contact with the people who suffer from obesity. It is essential to communicate with these people so that the nurses can understand the issues that affect them. These practices make it essential for the nurses to understand the aspect of collaboration….

healthcare advocacy campaign for individuals living with HIV.
The Health Issue

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks and damages the human body's immune system. The immune system exists for one key purpose to fight off foreign bodies and diseases or infections that get into the body. This means that if someone contracts HIV, then he or she becomes vulnerable to various kinds of dangerous infections and diseases, which may cause death. As the virus continues to weaken the immune system, the system may weaken to the level that it cannot fight off infections or diseases anymore. At such a stage, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus may result in a more life-threatening disease referred to as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). However, not every person who has HIV contracts AIDS. esearch has found that more and more elderly individuals have HIV / AIDS. This is largely due to enhanced treatments….

This was prepared by a specialist on the subject and would probably cut down incidences of the disease. (Advocacy Group Issues Guides for Diagnosing ADHD) There are some communities who need constant help and one of them is the Latino community and the help from counselors and advocacy is certainly welcome. Victims in the Latino community suffer due to their language barrier and immigration status. (Counseling and eferral Services for the Latino Community)
III. New Framework for Advocacy in Counseling/Counselor Education Programs

This has been noted by different experts and they have stated "that career guidance and counseling services would be greatly improved if theory and research could identify those traits and trends of development observed in adolescence... that predict….

Hydration Advocacy Campaign
Health Advocacy Campaign

Part 1 Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign

Health advocacy programs are mostly tailored to specific groups of people that are in need of special attention. While this approach can be useful, simple approaches are sometimes more effective and can address widespread problems more economically and efficiently. The importance and simplicity of water and its role within our health and well being represents an approach of basic health advocacy and may target many in need of such information. Health advocates must look out for their patients and subscribe to the most important issues of the day that may have a deep and profound impact on healing the individual and the healing processes that can evolve in and throughout the community.

The purpose of this health advocacy development plan is to argue that the issue of hydration, for all people, is one of the most significant issues in preventative health….

Commuity Advocacy Project: The Impact of Others
It is important in the position of advocacy to give consideration to the community impact and to the impact as an individual and this requires that ethical and legal issues be addressed relating to the advocacy plan. Specifically, the participation on some advocacy campaigns may be in appropriate depending upon the individual's position of employment. The focus of this study is to reflect on the legalities of advocacy work and consider any legal and ethical barriers that the employment setting will have on the ability to implement the advocacy plan and reflect on how one might use special interest groups in the community in the efforts to create public health policy change. As well, this study will consider the potential social change implications of the advocacy efforts.

Non-profits and Lobbying

When employed for non-profit organization considerations of advocacy must include the fact that while non-profits are….

Nurse Advocacy
After sixteen years of working as a nurse, I realized more fully the impact my profession and the people in it have on public health, public safety, social norms related to health, and public policy. This MSN program has effectively prepared me for the next stage of my career as a nurse advocate who actively participates in public policy development and public health initiatives. I have been strongly influenced by issues related to nurse advocacy throughout the course of my career. This program has highlighted areas in which nursing practice can be applied to helping members of my community empower themselves with knowledge, with the resources available to them to improve their health choices, and improve quality of life for all members of my community.

When I started the program, I was a nurse. I was an experienced nurse who was confident with my role in the hospital, and as….

American Anti-Corruption Act: The Tipping Point for American Citizens
The American Anti-Corruption Act:

A tipping point for American citizens

In the wake of increasing concerns about the undue influence of money and special interest groups in American politics, the anti-corruption advocacy group epresent.Us created a grassroots campaign in support of a law called the American Anti-Corruption Act. The Act is "a nine-point plan to crack down on lobbyists, strengthen the flimsy law intended to prevent super-PACs from coordinating with campaigns, and put a stop to undisclosed donations funneled through dark-money nonprofits" (Aronsen 2013). It should be noted that ironically, "epresent.Us is a project of United epublic, a campaign finance reform group that, like many of the outside spending organizations it takes aim at, is a 501(c)(4)" although it is bipartisan in its composition (Aronsen 2013). Its bipartisan membership includes "former Federal Elections Commission chair (and Stephen Colbert's 'personal lawyer') Trevor Potter, Lawrence Lessig,….

Social workers often have commitments to specific policies, laws, or funding of programs that are vital to the population they serve or an issue that they strongly support. Such commitments often lead social workers to become involved in political issues and the campaigns of specific candidates. Being a social worker, such campaign experiences, the outcomes of your efforts, and how effective you felt you were may affect your view of the political process and the likelihood of becoming involved in similar campaigns in the future. Social workers' involvement in political advocacy is usually influenced by the impact of politics on social work practice. Through advocacy and lobbying in the political arena, social workers seek to promote changes in legislation and policy to enhance social conditions and promote social justice towards meeting basic human needs. In essence, social workers' participation in political advocacy is geared towards protecting individuals' rights and enhancing….

One of those alarming physical changes is that the younger a person is when they begin drinking, even at low levels the more likely they are to become alcoholics. This change even overrides a known genetic predisposition for alcoholism. (Butler, July 4, 2006) Time forward ads regarding adult failure could be developed at a later time but again such images and concerns do not seem to sway teens. Funding for such a campaign would likely come from national and local foundations that stress clean living, and possibly from litigation funds that have been secured for healthier youth programs.
Alcohol use may begin simply as an exciting experiment, or as a way for a teen to feel a part of his or her peer group, lowering the feeling of awkwardness that often comes with the territory. Yet teen drinking can become a social disaster, that brings on extreme grief and loss.….

CONTEXTUAL FACTOS IN POLICYMAKING Contextual Factors in PolicymakingColes et al. (2020) define a contextual factor as any factor that is not part of an intervention but affects its implementation either positively or negatively. ecognizing contextual factors entails acknowledging that advocacy takes place within an environment characterized by a range of factors that could be either facilitators or barriers to implementation (Coles et al., 2020). By accurately identifying contextual factors, the implementers of an intervention can effectively and in a timely manner come up with strategies to address them. This text identifies the key contextual factors that may affect the implementation of the proposed advocacy geared at addressing mental health disparities among Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals.Contextual Factors that could Promote the Advocacy PriorityThe first of these factors would be existing mental health improvement programs at the local level. These could be funded by either local governments or non-governmental organizations to….

Beyond Separation of Powers
As high school students we all learned about the Constitutional separation of powers. With each of the three branches of government -- the judicial, executive, and legislative -- having the power to limit the power of the others, no one aspect of government could hold the American people hostage. This was the structure that the Framers put into effect to ensure that Americans would have an efficient, but humane, system of government. It was also, from its inception, an idealistic one. Indeed, perhaps too idealistic, for while it is good for democracy to have power divided among many rather than only a few, it is in human nature to want to concentrate power within oneself.

Thus over the over two-and-a-quarter- centuries of our nation's history, people have devised various extra-Constitutional methods for accumulating power. This paper examines three different ways in which individuals and political and interest groups….

Health Technology Advocacy
The greatly expanded possibilities that are allowed by technology in today's world, has provided a tool for professionals in the health care industry to greatly expand their effectiveness and efficiency. The internet and all the sub-technologies that have spawned from this development are central in any application of modern day communication technology.

Specifically, the use of social media, via smartphone technology can be used to combat the greatest threat to collective health. The extraordinary lack of preventative health measures are at the root cause of the exploding costs and energies dedicated to health care in today's confusing and complex approaches to taking care of both our minds and bodies. While some attention is paid to diet, exercise and hygiene, mental hygiene is often ignored as a preventative measure to good behavior, good choices, which leads to good health.

The constant bombardment of information thorough social media through smart phone technology….
