Starting up the Community-based Injury Reporting System: A Media for Client Voice

A public health approach to violence prevention involves the empirical identification of groups and communities at the highest risk for violence to inform targeted interventions. We demonstrate the utility of complete incident-level crime data toward this end. Data for 32,056 unique incidents involving homicide, aggravated assault, and robbery were extracted from the 2013 Michigan Incident Crime Reporting system, a statewide National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data system. Differential victimization rates were calculated across demographic subgroups and jurisdictions to identify patterns in risk. Two-stage least squares regression models were estimated to examine correlates of variation in excess risk. Analyses identified young Black males and females at relatively high risk for violent victimization, and that this risk was amplified within cities with disproportionately high crime rates. Multivariate models suggested concentrated disadvantage as the most stable correlate of variation in excess risk across Michigan cities and towns. The results highlight the importance of expanding NIBRS adoption and the deployment of focused interventions involving both short-term enforcement and long-term social reinvestment.

Non Communicable Disease

Purpose: Non-communicable diseases are leading cause of the global death, especially from cardiovascular disease, cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes. Prevention and primary detection of non-communicable disease in Indonesia were done through integrated community-based intervention called ‘Posbindu PTM’. Implementation of ‘Posbindu PTM’ needed to be evaluated to determine each component in the non-communicable disease surveillance systems. Methods: This study was descriptive. Respondent were programmer in district health office and programmer in 24 primary health care in Wonosobo. Surveillance system evaluation that used was programs evaluation based on WHO (structure, main function, support function and quality of surveillance system). Results: The weakness of ‘Posbindu PTM’ in Wonosobo were lack of knowledge in the regulation, networking, collaborating, risk factor detecting and reporting; not availability of technical guidebook; low training participant; low monitoring and evaluation activity; also complex reporting system. There was 84% ‘Posbindu PTM’ that had not reported on time and 87,50 % programmer had not done the analysis, interpretation, and dissemination. This was related to the completeness of the report caused too many data that needed to be collected and affect the timeliness of the report. Conclusion: Strengthening ‘Posbindu PTM’ should be done in the reporting system aspect, especially in the timeliness and analysis of the report. Monthly reminder and refreshing in reporting system were done to improve the reporting system aspect.

The Soviet Union

Twentieth-century psychiatry was transformed in the 1950s and 1960s by the introduction of powerful psychopharmaceuticals, particularly Chlorpromazine (Thorazine). This paper examines the reception of Chlorpromazine in the Soviet Union and its effect on the Soviet practice of psychiatry. The drug, known in the USSR by the name Aminazine, was first used in Moscow in 1954 and was officially approved in 1955. I argue that Soviet psychiatrists initially embraced it because Aminazine enabled them to successfully challenge the Stalin-era dogma in their field (Ivan Pavlov’s ‘theory of higher nervous activity’). Unlike in the West, however, the new psychopharmaceuticals did not lead to deinstitutionalisation. I argue that the new drugs did not disrupt the existing Soviet system because, unlike the system in the West, the Soviets were already dedicated, at least in theory, to a model which paired psychiatric hospitals with community-based ‘neuropsychiatric dispensaries.’ Chlorpromazine gave this system a new lease on life, encouraging Soviet psychiatrists to more rapidly move patients from in-patient treatment to ‘supporting’ treatment in the community.
