Organ Trafficking & Transplant Tourism
A subset of human trafficking, organ trafficking and transplant tourism are significant concerns around the globe. And while they’re not discussed to the same extent as sexual exploitation and forced child labor, quite a bit’s available on the subject. It initially caught my eye when I noticed Harvard’s Initiative to Stop Human Trafficking had an archived webcast available on their site addressing the issue. You can link to it, along with podcasts, articles, and other resources after the jump.
Integrating Injury & Violence Prevention
STIPDA, ASTHO, and NACCHO have several archived injury prevention webcasts, 2 of which might appeal: Integrating Injury and Violence Prevention with Maternal and Child Health Programs, and Integrating Injury and Violence Prevention with Healthy Again Initiatives. They are free to access–the archive site also includes a variety of supporting articles and other materials for the maternal-child session that are probably worth perusing, particularly for those of you working in the area of abusive head trauma (scroll to mid-page to find them).
Digital Safety: Cyberstalking
I love when readers (especially readers abroad) send me links I never would have run across otherwise: this summer in London, the UK hosted their inaugural digital safety conference, which “brought together thought leaders, policy makers, legal professionals, law enforcement agencies, government representatives, educators, industry leaders and those committed to protecting civil liberties to consider the health, reputation and environment of the digital world”.
Weekly Wrap-Up @ the Sustainability Blog
Sorry for the lack of wrap-up last week–things were fairly hectic and the Sustainability site got a bit neglected. We’re back this week, though, and you’ll find some good stuff there:
- A reminder to check up on the continuing conversation over at the OVC web forum. While I still have yet to hear back from colleagues on a couple questions I put out there for more nuanced feedback, I have been able to get to the majority of posted questions.
- A great piece on leadership and being an energizer for your team
- A webcast of Dr. Rebecca Campbell speaking about the impact of SANE programs on the criminal justice system. There are 4 videos altogether.
Today’s a call day for me, and I’m stuck in my windowless office at the DOVE Program. But that may be okay, because it is a cold and rainy day here in the CLE. Hope it’s a bit more hospitable wherever you are…
Statistics and Juries
Today’s post is an incredibly wonky one–many of you will bail right off the bat, and of those of you who decide to check out this video, several of you won’t make it past the 2 minute mark. So what is the fascinating offering I’m posting? It’s actually a session from TED that I find to be really interesting: how statistics fool juries. If you don’t feel like you can commit to the full video, skip ahead to the 14 minute mark, where the reason for my posting the video becomes clear.
Weekly Wrap-Up @ the Sustainability Blog
It was a busy week at the sustainability site. I’m happy to return with a new Friday Q&A, this time from IAFN Past-President, Stacey Mitchell. You can read her fantastic responses to the questionnaire here. Also this week:
- A resource many of you know from this site, The Ultimate Educator and tools for creating courses for adult learners
- One of those simple, but amazing tools that can distill down the overwhelming into the doable: Performance Vistas’s Decision Selection Matrix
- A webinar (free!) over at the Goodman Center focusing on their recent survey on using online technologies instead of in-person meetings and conferences–they’ll be discussing the good, the bad, and I’m sure, the ugly during the 1-hour event (love their stuff, BTW).
That’s it for me–I’m knocking off early to spend time with my kiddo after being gone all week. Enjoy your weekend!
Mental Illness in Jail
On July 15th, the National Institute of Corrections is holding a live, 3 hour internet broadcast, The Mentally Ill in Jail: Whose Problem Is It Anyway? Participation is free, but you must register in advance.
Medical-Legal Documentation
There aren’t that many offerings available on medical-legal documentation out there, so I was excited to come across this one from Contemporary Forums: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: An Expert Witness’s View on How to Make or Break a Case with Medical-Legal Documentation. However, I cannot tell you the specific focus of this session: the speaker is a legal nurse consultant with expertise in elder care, but the site has this program listed under psychiatric-behavioral issues (if anyone does this one, please let us know!). If she addresses IPV, sexual assault, child abuse, etc., I don’t know.
Youth Violence
The Michigan Public Health Training Center has an online CE offering, Youth Violence: It’s a Public Health Issue. 1.5 CEUs are available for their archived webcast, originally presented in Decomber ’08. It’s free of charge and lasts about 90 minutes.
Preventing Online Exploitation
I usually try to avoid posting sequential offerings from a single source, but I’m going to make an exception this time. Last night, ater getting back to my hotel, I found this item in my Reader and decided to share it today since it’s a live event: The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (HRSA) is hosting a webcast April 14th from 2-3:30PM ET. Entitled Preventing Exploitation of Children and Adolescents on the Internet, the session requires advanced registration, which you can make happen here.
Domestic Violence Among Women of Color
HRSA‘s Maternal and Child Health Bureau has an archived webcast, Domestic Violence Among Women of Color. It’s a 90 minute session and is presented by an esteeemed panel that includes Dr. Jacquelyn Campbell of Johns Hopkins University. The site gives you multiple options for accessing the webcast, including audio, PowerPoint slides, and written transcripts. Truthfully, it feels like the surface is only skimmed on this issue; any portion of the presentation could be its own 90+ minute program. Nevertheless, there are few offerings available on the distinct issues facing abused women of color, so I’m pleased this is available in an archived edition.
Breaking the Silence: Children’s Stories
[Warning: flight of ideas is about to ensue...]
Tuesday night Joy Behar interviewed Robin Givens, Denise Brown, Erin Gray and Victor Rivers about domestic violence on Larry King Live. I was happy to hear Victor talk about the importance of engaging men in DV prevention and the dangers of bystander behavior, and it reminded me of the documentary in which he had been featured many years ago, Breaking the Silence: Journeys of Hope (PBS).
Inflicted Traumatic Brain Injury
Dr. Rachel Berger, from the University of Pittsburgh (a source of previous blog posts on this site), gave pediatric grand rounds at the Seattle Children’s Hospital last summer. You can view a webcast of her talk, Using Serum Biomarkers to Screen for Inflicted Traumatic Brain Injury: How Close Are We? archived on the hosptal’s site (warning: video plays automatically). Physicians seeking CEs can submit this form for up to 1 AMA PRA Category 1 credit. Sorry, nurses, no CEU equivalent from this offering.
Emergency Preparedness
AHRQ hosted Lessons Learned from the Field of Emergency Preparedness, last November. You can listen to a webcast of the session and view PowerPoint slides in their archives at no cost. According to the site, presenters shared key insight on customizing tools in order to address the distinct needs of their communities. Emergency preparedness planners as well as Federal, State, and local community health planners, providers, and first-responders attended.
Preventing Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People
The National Academy of Sciences report on the prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders among young people is now available. A formal public briefing of the document will be held live and via webcast March 25th from 1-5 pm. You can register for the event here.
