name 3 consequences of cancer screening
1) anxiety of screening results 2) problem sof overdiagnosis 3) general negative side effects
26
What is immunization?
- vaccination of the susceptible to protect person and ecourage protection of community as a whole = herd immunity; primary prevention = so they never get in in the first place
27
3 factors of social cognition model of immunization
1) percieved likelihood - of getting disease 2) percieved susceptibility 3) percieved severity
28
Socio-cultural context problems of immunization
- the rising power of medical science - upper/middle class = loss of individual liberty - working class = growing power of the state
29
HCP problems of immunization
- conflicting advice from diff. HCP - ethical issues of excusing an individual vs. benefit of the entire community e.g. if someone doesn't get vaccinated because of religious reason but puts the society at sake for disease?
30
Some reasons why parent's don't let children get vaccinated
- percieved danger of vaccine - doubts about medical claism - percieved ability to protect child - percieved liklihood of child getting disease - don't have time --> more risk of drugs and street crime etc. - natural vs. unnatural - homephatic beliefs e.g. introduction of disease is seen as harmful
31
3 reasons for vaccination resistance
1) risk - how people calculate cost and benefit 2) reasons for refusing vaccination - e.g. homepathy and religion 3) trust - mistrust in government esp. from lower SES
32
what are 4 ways in which genetic risk can vary
1) rates of incidence 2) seriousness 3) available intervention for disease 4) experience of genetic risk
33
What are 4 important concepts of genetic risk
1) genetic science - Human Genome project 2) role of media - usually wrong; overemphasize genes vs. enviroment 3) genetic predisposition testing 4) genetic counselling - provide emotional support and decision making
34
2 limitations of predispotion testing
1) contoversial issues of prophylactic surgery e.g. angelina effect 2) more uncertainties than certainties e.g. 90% genes that give you cancer are non familiarl
35
2 ethical issues of predisposition testing
1) right to know vs. right not to know - conflict between individual's right's and another 2) implication for policy e.g. diffiucult to ask for permission to notify risk and formal/informal risk notication process differ
36
fear
there is a threat
37
anxiety
Fear oriented - what you are anxious about is less clear
38
phobia
restricted to a certain event, concept etc.
39
The p's of acute pain and fear management (5)
1) process 2) pharmacological 3) psychological 4) physical 5) procedural
40
Process on pain management
- Caregiver presence (under 10) | - 10+ up to individual preference
41
pharmacological pain mangement
- use topic creams before injections - time is not a barrier - but not feasiable for low SES countires
42
Psychological pain mangement
- Do use neutral words - DON'T use reassurance or say it won't hurt - Can use distractions but won't work with people of high needle fear/adolescents/adults - only young children
43
Physical pain management (3)
1) breastfeeding - or give sugar water before injection 2) hold upright (kangeroo care) 3) sit upright and hold - but if you have a history of fainting lie down or use muscle tension technique (not sure if viable for children)
44
Procedural pain mangement
- Don't use aspiration - Give most painful last - for babies - inject in theights or use simulatanous injections (0-1 year old)
45
4 types of statistical innumeracy
1) illusion of certainity 2) ignorance of risk 3) miscommunication of risk 4) clouded thinking - too much info
46
4 types f risk research
1) risk perceptions 2) framing effects 3) improving risk perceptions 4) improving risk communication
47
2 rationalities of risk perceptions
- based on availability heuristics 1) classical rationality: real world examples don't use this because of restirctions (taking time to calculate all risk and benifits) - machines use this rationality 2) bounded rationality: decision making confined without contraints
48
3 types of contraints in bounded rationality
1) limited time 2) limited knoledge 3) limited mental computational power
49
What is message framing
- idea that logically equivalent (should be the same) information ca be communited in various way depending on the way it is frame/presented
50
principle of invariance
- idea that preference shouldn't changed based on frame but this is not true and priniple of invariance does not hold
51
6 types of framing
1) Negative vs. positing framing/gain framing vs. loss framing 2) relative vs. absolute risk 3) scales 4) political framing 5) promotion of health behaivours vs. maintenance of behaviours 6) quantitative vs. qualitative approahces
52
When to use negative or positive framing: - pursuastion - medical screening - risky treatment
- positive framing - negative framing - positive framing
53
When to use gain frame message or loss frame message
- gain frame: when targeting behaviour preventing onset of disease e.g. sunscreen - loss frame: when targeting behaviour detecting presence of disease
54
Relative vs. absolute risk
- Realtive risk looks better e.g. 13% difference; standardized so easier to use but is unethical becuase of the strong response difference - Absolute risk has smaller risk reduction e.g. 2% difference; people usually say no - should always use this
55
Scales framing
response to people depend on how you set up the scale
56
Political framing
context of how you present the issues
57
2 other aspects of framing
1) promtion of health behaviour vs. maintenance of behaviours 2) quantitative vs. qualitative approahces (subjective experinece and political effects)
58
Name some ways to improve accuracy of perception
- individualize message - keep it short - group therapy approach - use verbal expression
59
What are the 3 majors types of risk communications that are ambiguous
1) single event probabilities 2) relative risk e.g. 13% 3) conditional probabilities
60
2 aspects of single event probabilities that are ambiguous
1) no relative class (comparison) | 2) no empircal evidence to draw conslucsions of risk e.g. how do you conclude that somehting is low risk
61
2 alternative suggestions for suppelmenting relative risk
1) absolute risk numbers | 2) numbers needed to treat --> how many people need the treatment for one death to be prevented
62
3 aspects of conditional probabilities that is confusing
1) p of event A given event B 2) p of event B given event A 3) p of event A and B
63
4 factors of diagnostic tests
1) sensitivity - p that test will pick up disease if it is there 2) specificity - p that test will correctly determine that there is no disease presented 3) false positive rate - p that test will identify the disease when there is none 4) false negative rate - p that test will fail to identify disease when there is one
64
2 main camps of obestiy research
1) those who support obesity science research it (biomedical research) - looks at dominant framing 2) those who are critical - looks at underlying assumptions that people make
65
3 aspects of obestiy research that is criticized
1) what is reported 2) the way it is reported 3) the assumptions made
66
3 components of obesity science research
1) public helath research 2) epidemological research 3) biomedical research
67
3 ways in which crticial scholars have challenged obesity science
1) status as epidemic - induces fear; spread like a biological disease; represents a dominant discourse that slim bodies are ideal 2) authoritative and alarmist claims - make claims with no evidence and assumption relationship between weight and health 3) BMI assessing weight - is an artifact of epidemiological measures - no warrented to measure health
68
4 popular beliefs about weight and health
1) correlation b/w weight and helath 2) correlation is a direct causal relationship (so people who are skinny are assumed to be healthier) 3) weight loss is a goal that leads to improvements in health 4) the cost-benfit ration to make people thinner assumes that fat people will have a disease; so many public health funding is use to pursue this outcome
69
4 framing effects of obesity
1) problem frame (health frame) - medicalization problem 2) balme frame (individual and choice) - irresponsibility 3) social justice frame - fat is irrelevant to health 4) aesthetic frame - problem is our understanding of thiness and beauty

Public deliberation
- mandated by goverement bodies to capture public option and opintion about issues that are considered "judgement"
84
3 underlying deliberation guidelines
1) respectful engagement 2) participants are justified and challenged by others 3) conclusions are civic minded solutions - common ground

1) complex topic - need wide range of opinions 2) value-laden topics - competing values where facts don't speak for themselves and regular people should deliberate - not professionals 3) controverisal issues/senstiive/highstakes 4) democrative legitimacy - to increase trust in government e.g. GM foods, vaccines etc.
88
3 Steps in designing public engagement
1) Who? - recruitment process and conceptualization 2) How? - how many meetings, how to structure, how to inform 3) What to do with answers?
89
