We are what we eat. That old expression seems particularly poignant
every time we have our blood drawn for a routine physical to check
our cholesterol levels. And it's not just what we eat that affects
our health. Whole ranges of behaviors ultimately make a difference
in how we feel and how we maintain our health. Lifestyle choices
have enormous impact on our health and well-being. But how do we
communicate the language of good health so that it is uniformly
received -- and accepted -- by people from different cultures and
backgrounds?
Take, for example, the case of a 66-year-old Latina. She has
been told by her doctor that she should have a mammogram, but her
sense of fatalism tells her that it is better not to know if
anything is wrong. To know that something is wrong will cause her
distress, and this may well lead to even more health problems.
Before she leaves her doctor's office, she has decided not to have
a mammogram -- that is, until her doctor points out that having one
is a way to take care of herself so that she can continue to take
care of her family. In this way the decision to have a mammogram
feels like a positive step.
Public health communicators and health professionals face
dilemmas like this every day. Speaking of Health looks at the
challenges of delivering important messages to different audiences.
Using case studies in the areas of diabetes, mammography, and mass
communication campaigns, it examines the ways in which messages
must be adapted to the unique informational needs of their
audiences if they are to have any real impact.
Speaking of Health looks at basic theories of communication and
behavioral change and focuses on where they apply and where they
donot. By suggesting creative strategies and guidelines for
speaking to diverse audiences now and in the future, the Institute
of Medicine seeks to take health communication into the
twenty-first century. In an age in which we are inundated by
multiple messages every day, this book will be a critical tool for
all who are interested in communicating with diverse communities
about health issues.
This report contains fifteen presentations from a workshop on best
practices in managing diversity, hosted by the NAE Committee on
Diversity in the Engineering Workforce on October 29-30, 2001. NAE
(National Academy of Engineering) president William Wulf, IBM
vice-president Nicholas Donofrio, and Ford vice-president James
Padilla address the business case for diversity, and
representatives of leading engineering employers discuss how to
increase the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women and
underrepresented minorities in engineering careers. Other speakers
focus on mentoring, globalization, affirmative action backlash, and
dealing with lawsuits. Corporate engineering and human resources
managers attended the workshop and discussed diversity issues faced
by corporations that employ engineers. Summaries of the discussions
are also included in the report. Table of Contents Front Matter

Individuals from minoritized racial and ethnic groups continue to
face systemic barriers that impede their ability to access,
persist, and thrive in science, technology, engineering,
mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) higher education and workforce.
Without actively dismantling policies and practices that
disadvantage people from minoritized groups, STEMM organizations
stand to lose much needed talent and innovation as well as the
ideas that come from having a diverse workforce. A new report from
the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences examines
the backdrop of systemic racism in the United States that has
harmed and continues to harm people from minoritized groups, which
is critical for understanding the unequal representation in STEMM.
The report outlines actions that top leaders and gatekeepers in
STEMM organizations, such as presidents and chief executive
officers, can take to foster a culture and climate of antiracism,
diversity, equity, and inclusion that is genuinely accessible and
supportive to all. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1

The Full Transcript of the Most Shocking Testimony of the Trump Era
“I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr.
Trump’s illicit acts. . . . I am ashamed because I know what Mr.
Trump is. He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat.” —from
Michael Cohen’s Opening Statement to the House Oversight
Committee “Michael Cohen . . .was just disbarred by the State
Supreme Court for lying & fraud. He did bad things unrelated to
Trump. He is lying in order to reduce his prison time.”
—President Donald J. Trump On February 27, 2019, with the world
watching, Michael Cohen—former lawyer and fixer for President
Donald J. Trump—took the stand in front of the House Oversight
Committee and delivered one of the most sensational days of
Congressional testimony in history. Not since President Richard
Nixon’s White House counsel John Dean turned on him during the
Watergate scandal has a close Presidential associate attacked the
character of the Chief of State and charged him with criminal acts.
Here in one volume is living history—the hard-hitting prepared
statements, the damning evidence, the salacious charges, the
belligerent questioning, and the stunning revelations.

The increase in prevalence and visibility of sexually gender
diverse (SGD) populations illuminates the need for greater
understanding of the ways in which current laws, systems, and
programs affect their well-being. Individuals who identify as
lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, or
intersex, as well as those who express same-sex or -gender
attractions or behaviors, will have experiences across their life
course that differ from those of cisgender and heterosexual
individuals. Characteristics such as age, race and ethnicity, and
geographic location intersect to play a distinct role in the
challenges and opportunities SGD people face. Understanding the
Well-Being of LGBTQI+ Populations reviews the available evidence
and identifies future research needs related to the well-being of
SDG populations across the life course. This report focuses on
eight domains of well-being; the effects of various laws and the
legal system on SGD populations; the effects of various public
policies and structural stigma; community and civic engagement;
families and social relationships; education, including school
climate and level of attainment; economic experiences (e.g.,
employment, compensation, and housing); physical and mental health;
and health care access and gender-affirming interventions. The
recommendations of Understanding the Well-Being of LGBTQI+
Populations aim to identify opportunities to advance understanding
of how individuals experience sexuality and gender and how sexual
orientation, gender identity, and intersex status affect SGD people
over the life course. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary PART
