MEND Poverty Clinic Analysis
At MEND Poverty Clinic, I was surprised by how many patients do not realize that their bad habits can cause a permanent condition like periodontal disease. Lack of awareness of oral health has affected the health of my people in this community. After treating many unfortunate patients, such as a seventeen-year-old patient that needed extractions and only had few teeth left, an implant program was implemented which I am in charge with Dr. Robert Hale in order to improve the life of many

    Biomedical Statistics: Independent Project on Urban Low Income Women Affected by Changes to Social Policies

    The data in the dataset comes from a longitudinal study of low-income women in four urban communities. In the original study, extensive information was collected in 1999 (Wave 1) and 2001 (Wave 2) from about 4,000 women. A major purpose of the study was to understand the life trajectories of these women and their children during a period of major changes to social policies affecting poor people in the United States. The sample was randomly selected from women who, in 1995, were single mothers receiving cash welfare assistance in the four cities. All data were collected by means of 90-minute in-person interviews in either English or Spanish in the study participants’ homes. Professional interviewers from a survey research firm, specially trained for this study, collected the data.…

    Monisha Sullivan's The Poverty Clinic

    The Poverty Clinic by Paul Tough focuses on the relationship between childhood trauma and health. The findings in The Poverty Clinic are consistent with the theories in the ‘health onion.’ Monisha Sullivan’s health issue derives from a quantum of factors. Factors of which include lifestyle, outside influences, situational factors, community and environment factors. All of which falls under the frameworks of the ‘health onion.’ Health issues are no longer reliant only on the biological processes, but also on what influences our lives and how we live it.…

    How Does Poverty Undermine Health

    Poverty and oppression can undermine health in many ways. Being oppressed can cause a person to not seek medical treatment. Consequently, this makes people more prone to getting physical and mental aliments. Many times certain groups are afraid to seek treatment. This is due to the history of the treatments their people previously received, which leads to the distrust of the health professionals.…

    Dental Hygienist Experience

    The usual people are outside on their morning cigarette break as they say to me in broken English, “ah back again for more teeth! Take them all. I want new ones”. I smile and say good morning, looking for my participant. After finding Carlos, my survey participant for the day, we head over to the sunroom to begin the survey on his perceptions on oral health, his hygienic routines, general health, and demographic information. What Carlos told me, and many other participants told me this summer, only offered a small window into what was going on with dental care and what was being done to provide services to those who cannot access it effectively? Was their barred access due to their language, ethnicity, income, or something else entirely? My father, a dental hygienist and educator at UConn Health, informed me about the correlation of dental care and overall health, and this summer I saw what he meant in full force. I saw many who had poor dental care combined with high cholesterol/blood pressure, diabetes, mental disorder, cancer, and at least one type of heart procedure done to them. Nutrition and education seemed to be a theme that I observed as well. Simply doing surveys, however, did not allow me to paint a full…

    Explain Why I Chose Dentistry

    One of the biggest challenges I have faced was moving to America from Pakistan. The transition was difficult; I left childhood memories, family, and close friends behind. However, this portion of my life had a strong influence on the impact I want to have on impoverished populations. Seeing a dentist in Pakistan is a privilege that most of the families couldn’t afford. In those 17 years, it was rare for my family and I to have our teeth professionally cleaned or have a regular dental checkup. Dental insurance did not exist, and everything had to be, and still is, paid for in advance prior to seeing the dentist. Consequently, the majority of the Pakistani population have unsanitary dental hygiene. This sparked my interest in pursuing dentistry as a profession where I can help provide dental care to underserved…

    All-On-Four Treatment Procedures

    After years of not having dental care, I recently discovered that I need to have all my teeth removed due to periodontal disease. I went to a dentist in March for a loose front tooth (now removed and replaced with a flipper) and learned how bad my dental health had gotten. I was devastated to lose the tooth and also learn I need a costly All-on-4 treatment procedure. I say “need” because I am 42 and can’t live the rest of my life with conventional dentures for many reasons.…

    Health Care Poverty

    The Constitution of the United States has two foundational organizational principles that one of them is federalism. Federalism was an unquestionable intellectual concern of the framers and ratifiers of the Constitution. Federalism is defined as the division of the power between a central government and several regional governments. The sharing of the power between the federal government and the state governments is consequential part of the United States system. The equilibrium of power in the United States has shifted from individual states to a more authoritative federal government (Nagel). Based on the need of the American people and the reserved powers of the states, the issue of poverty…
