5. Impact of School Flu Vaccine Program on Student Absences

Author

Plaspohl, Sara S., Dixon, Betty T., Streater, James A., Hausauer, Elizabeth T., Newman, Christopher P., and Vogel, Robert L.

Abstract

Literature provides evidence that school attendance correlates with academic performance and student success. Influenza is a contributing factor to school absences. Primary prevention for influenza includes immunization. School-located influenza vaccine (SLIV) programs provide greater access for students to be immunized. A retrospective review of preexisting data from four academic years was conducted to examine the relationship between SLIV participation and absenteeism among students at eight public elementary schools in Effingham County, Georgia. Results identified differences in average frequency of absences between SLIV and non-SLIV years as well as between SLIV participants and nonparticipants for the 2 SLIV years. Implications for practice include the potential for increased herd immunity among students, which may also extend to other parties within the school community and at home, thus promoting overall wellness and future student success.

Abstract

The False Claims Act is a very effective tool for preventing fraud against the Federal Treasury. Its qui tam provision rewards private citizens who report fraud, with a significant portion of the money recovered. The False Claims Act has been utilized against healthcare service providers in issues such as billing for services not rendered, using fraudulent diagnoses to backup claims and fraudulent performance reports., FRAUD AND ABUSE In the 1990s, the Federal government's antifraud efforts increasingly have focused on the healthcare industry, and the False Claims Act, a powerful law designed to curb fraud [...]

Abstract

Aim: To examine the effects of an upper-extremity, community-based, and power-training intervention. Methods: Twelve participants with cerebral palsy (CP) [8 males, 4 females; mean age 14 years 6 months (SD 5 years 4 months), range 7–24] were randomly assigned to a rest-training (RT; n = 6) or training-rest (n = 6) group in this randomized, cross-over design. Training took place in participants' home or school, three times per week for 6 weeks. We examined changes in upper extremity average power output (Pavg) in watts (W) and changes in function via the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI). Results: Each participant completed at least 15 of the 18 total training sessions (91.2% adherence). Pavg increased 92.2% on average among participants (p <.05). There was a significant three-way interaction among treatment, sequence, and period with the data stratified by (Bimanual Fine Motor Function [BFMF]) level on the pain subscale of the PODCI (p = 0.0118). All participants decreased pain after training with the exception of individuals with lower functioning (BFMF II-V) in the RT group. Conclusion: A community-based upper extremity power-training intervention was feasible and effective at improving power among young people with CP and has the potential to improve pain.
