Introduction: South Asians (SA) have a higher death rate than any other population for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and high blood pressure (HBP). 1 out of 4 women die of heart disease in America. San Joaquin (SJ) has a growing rate of SA immigrant women who may be at risk for CVD. Objectives: Trainees conducted hypertension and CVD screenings at SA religious organizations to reduce the risk of CVD and spread awareness about the factors that lead to CVD and its implications in the SA female population due to environmental racism in the most underserved county for healthcare, SJ. Methods: I trained low-income minority medically ambitious female high school students to conduct weekly blood pressure screenings and serve as a health technology coach by each student monitoring 1 female hypertensive patient of 24 hypertensive or at risk hypertensive and low-income female SJ residents and constantly stressed, and at risk for CVD. CVD screenings were conducted at all SJ gurdwaras and mosques to spread awareness about female heart health and track hypertension in the SA community. Findings: -74.2% of the San Joaquin South Asian female population (SJSAFP) are at risk for CVD-52.9% of the SJSAFP are Stage 1 hypertensive-60.9% of the SJSAFP are Stage 2 hypertensive-22.4% of the SJSAFP have normal blood pressure but consume red meat more than 4 times a month-16.3% of the SJSAFP female population of SJ are hypotensive Direct Outcomes of Events: -Development of self advocacy in the SJSAFP community and females became activists for their own heart health-SJ female high school students trained for community outreach events and determined to practice medicine in SJ to address female health disparities-Youth learned the value of empathy, multiculturalism, gender health equity and service to disadvantaged communities through the program and volunteering-Increased participation of youth and women, in an otherwise adult and male dominant environment (i.e. the mosques and gurdwaras)-Increased awareness on the determinants of CVD and hypertension in SJSAFP-Increased interaction between community members of different religions, creed and genders -Awareness and education among the SJSAFP community for better heart health-Improved patient provider trust

Academically At Risk

This investigation queried the phenomenological perspective of the school counselor within the high school setting. The counselors’ perspective was sought in this qualitative investigation to determine the impact of bullying on the academically at-risk population. The literature at present has neglected a population of high school students. The omitted population is the academically at-risk population. Researchers have identified many sub-populations of the “at risk” school category that traditionally included: culture, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation. The academically at-risk student is another category and is inclusive of traditional “at risk” students. This population experiences (1) a grade point average below 2.0—C, (2) absenteeism more than 15 days in a 90-day semester and (3) behavioral issues that impact successful matriculation. At present, no research has been conducted about the academically at-risk high school student, and how bullying, contextually, impacts students, and how their counselors understand and perceive bullying.

Anger and aggression in school children are a major concern in American society today. Students with high anger levels and poor cognitive processing skills are at risk for poor relationships, underachievement in school, and health problems. This article describes characteristics of children who are at risk for high anger levels and aggression as well as those who are able to modulate their anger. Results of a survey are reported which describe levels of anger in 624 rural high school students. This sample reported lower levels of anger, compared to the normative group. Differences among the sample include higher internal anger expression in girls, higher trait anger in boys ages 15–16, and higher trait anger in girls ages 16–17. Recommendations are made for future research and specific steps that school nurses can take.
