Those familiar with input-output analysis know well that
compilation of input-output tables is a difficult statistical work.
The very first input-output tables (e.g. such as those for the
United States economy in 1919 and 1929 or for the Federal Republic
of Germany in the fifties) were the results of applied economic
research. But soon after, official statistical bodies, who
understood that input-output tables consistent with national
accounts can very much improve the quality of economic statistics,
started systematic work in this field. It was also obvious that
international exchange of experience can be useful. The two main
internatio nal fora in which discussion of input-output compilation
took place were the international input-out put conferences and
United Nations bodies. Already at the First International
Conference on Input-Output Techniques (Driebergen 1950) several
authors analysed the relations between input-output tables and
national accounts. The topic was also on the programme of the
Second Conference (Varenna 1954). At the Third Conference (Geneva
1961) standardization of input-output statistics was a topic of a
panel discussion of eight experts. The relevant papers, which are
still of interest, can be found in published conference
proceedings."
This progressive resource brings the innovative power of narrative
medicine to the forefront of community public health care. Chapters
describe community involvement across a continuum of control, from
health consultants describing problems and suggesting solutions to
health committees designing programs and evaluating results.
Narrative strategies to this end, including authentic dialogue and
community mapping, are examined in the context of public health and
fleshed out with examples of different levels of participation by
community members. From the respectful collaboration modeled here,
the principles of community public health care can potentially
expand beyond the immediate community into other social domains on
a greater scale. Included in the coverage: * Narratives, local
knowledge, and world entry. * Community and narratives. * What is
dialogue? * Storylines, causes, and locus of interventions. *
Community mapping tells a story. * The politics of storytelling.
Narrative Medicine and Community-Based Health Care and Planning
gives health psychologists, sociologists, social workers, and
public health administrators realistic practical insights for
tapping into the unique resources communities and clients have to
offer. This is the next step in the evolution of public health,
toward large-scale improvements in care delivery, access to and
relevance of services, and patient and community outcomes.
Despite all of the information that exists to encourage students to
attend and do well in college, this is the first research-based
guide that directly advises first- and second-year college
students. With a focus on the needs and interests of students who
are underrepresented in the academy (African American, Latinx,
low-income, and first-generation students), this book will help all
students take full advantage of the academic resources that the
university setting has to offer. The authors introduce students to
different types of research across the disciplines, showing them
how to work with professors to build a course of study, how to
integrate research work into coursework, and how to write and
present research. This timely volume will also assist faculty,
staff, and parents in providing the needed tools to promote student
success. Visit the book website at undergraduateresearchguide.com.
