Malaria Control on Women and Children in Burkina Faso, Africa
Charlotte Tucksmith WCSN, Amanda Leonardis WCSN, David Slachtish WCSN
Evelyn L. Spiro School of Nursing, Wagner College
Introduction
Malaria causes significant health
problems such as anemia and
jaundice because of the loss of red
blood cells. If not promptly treated,
the infection can become severe and
may cause kidney failure, seizures,
mental confusion, coma, and death.
Burkina Faso is among 10 countries in
Africa with the highest number of
cases and deaths due to malaria
worldwide. In 2015, malaria was the
first cause of outpatient consultations
(48.0%), hospitalizations (22.6%), and
deaths (23.9%) in Burkina Faso; it was
also the main cause of illness among
children (80%) [1].
Our innovative program is called the
Malaria Prevention Program. It
focuses on the lack of knowledge
regarding malaria.
Resources
●International Fund for Agricultural
Development (IFAD)
●U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID)
●The World Health Organization
(WHO)
Community Assessment &
Analysis
● Burkina Faso has a
population of 21,510,181
people, comprising over 60
different ethnic groups. [2]
● 10.4 percent of Burkinabe
children suffer from acute
malnutrition. [2]
● Agriculture employs 80% of
the workforce.
Burkina Faso, Africa
Problems in the Community
● The major health concern in the region
of Burkina Faso is women and children
that are infected with malaria.
● There is a lack of education among this
group. In fact, three quarters of the
women had no formal education. [7]
●A very low portion of the women agreed
with the fact that using insect repellent,
taking preventative medications, and
covering their body were the most
effective preventative measures [7].
Proposed Solution
● Our innovative program is called
the Malaria Prevention Program. It
focuses on the lack of knowledge
regarding malaria.
● This program sends nurses to
Burkina Faso, Africa and educates
the community on preventative
strategies against malaria. It teaches
the effectiveness of using mosquito
nets, indoor residual sprays, proper
clothing, hallmark signs to watch out
for, and even how to treat malaria.
● 40.1% of the population
lives below the poverty line.
[4]
● With the number of women becoming
infected with malaria, maternal and
neonatal morbidity is rising. [7]
● Average life expectancy is
59.0 years. [5]
● In 2019, there were approximately 224
million cases reported worldwide.
Consequently, the number of deaths
resulting from malaria was 409,000 [7]
● Malaria can be prevented with
mosquito nets and wearing clothing
that covers the skin. [8]
References
●Artemether-lumefantrine is very
effective for treating malaria and this
medication should be sent to this
community to prevent fatalities. [9]
● There are fewer than 1
(0.45) physicians per
10,000 people, 3.57
nurses per 10,000
people, and 2.39
midwives per 10,000. [5]
● Most women have poor
housing quality and
unfortunately have no access
to treatment [7]

●Only 53% of women knew that
malaria can be prevented. [8]
● Specific community health goals
would be to ensure that all members
in this community are educated on
malaria and be able to identify the
measures to reduce contracting
malaria.

Low Birth Weight of Newborns due to Living at High Altitudes
Jessica Ghali WCSN, Anett Cherkassky WCSN, Katie Downes WCSN
Evelyn L. Spiro School of Nursing, Wagner College
Introduction
•According to “National Jewish Health,” Denver Colorado has a
high altitude of 5,280 feet above sea level. (1)
•Women who are pregnant in places such as Denver, must be
aware that they are at higher risk for complications such as
preeclampsia and other negative issues. (1)
Problem in the community
•Colorado’s relatively high altitudes have been
correlated to lower birth weight. High altitudes
contribute to low birth weight because of the effects of
oxygen delivery during pregnancy. At one mile above
sea level, there is a 10 percent drop in your body’s
ability to transport oxygen and 20 percent drop in time
to exhaustion. (4)
•The most common issue mothers face are low birth weight or
premature birth due to these alarmingly high altitudes. (2)
•Premature or preterm birth occurs before the 37th week of
pregnancy as opposed to a full term of 40 weeks. (2)
Community Assessment & Analysis
•This drastic decrease in oxygen levels can have a
dramatic somatic effect on the human body. Let alone
a pregnant individual. It is noted that for every 1,000
feet of elevation gain, a person loses 2% of the
available oxygen for the body to use. This can
negatively affect anyone, especially those who are
pregnant. Studies showed that infants born at high
altitude weighed 118g less and were more often low
birth weight. (2)
•According to Healthy People 2020, the national goal for babies
born at a low birthweight is aimed to be less than 7.8%. (4)
•However, in 2012, 8.8% of Colorado babies were born at a low
birth weight. This goes to show that a big majority of low
birthweight in babies stems from Denver. (4)
•Colorado has exceptionally exceeded the overall mean of low
birthweight babies compared to the whole U.S.
•In 2018, 9.4% of infants born in Colorado weighed less than 5.5
pounds, compared to 8.3% of the U.S. (3)
•The nationwide goal is to reduce the low-birth-weight rate to 7.2%
by 2020. (3)
•High altitude reduced birth weight by 101g and
increased the risk of low birth weight by 27%.
•Researchers conducted a study where data was
collected on low birth rates all over the U.S. In their
analysis they found low birthweight clusters located in
regions of 4,000 feet of elevation or more. (3)

Proposed Solution/ Program
IN WOMEN WE TRUST is a program that
offers monthly seminars which include
nutritional education required to curb low
infant birth weight and premature birth. As
well as prenatal screenings every 2 weeks
for those who may be at risk for any
gestational complications. The program will
also provide at home visits to ensure
proper use of portable oxygen delivery
devices for those who are eligible and
suffer from altitude sickness.
Learning objectives:
O Participants will be able to identify
possible complications by the end of the
first trimester via screening events.
O Participants will thoroughly document
and track nutrition intake from the start of
the program/pregnancy until the end as
well as keep a weekly log of their weight.
O Eligible mothers will learn how to
properly use at home oxygen delivery
devices by the end of the first at-home
visit.
OUR GOAL: We hope to decrease low
birth weights in infants born in Denver,
while educating and providing additional
resources for expecting mothers.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases in San Francisco’s
Young Adolescents
Nicolette Muro WCSN and Danielle Parello WCSN
The Evelyn L. Spiro School of Nursing Wagner College
Introduction
Problem
• STDs are a healthcare problem in San
Francisco due to a lack of education,
decline in condom usage, absence of
screening during a young age, and sexual
behaviors of younger aged men having sex
with men.
Sexually transmitted diseases are rising in the San
Francisco population among the younger adults
ranging mainly from ages 15-30.
• Sexually transmitted diseases are diseases
or infections that are passed from one
person to another through sexual contact.
As of 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) released
• The STD rate in the United States hit an all
time high record.
• San Francisco was ranked the third highest city
with STD rates in the United States
• Within a study of 100,000 people, San
Francisco displayed as many as 3,150 people
with STD cases.
Data from 2018 has stated that STD rates are at
the highest level in thirty years. (4)
• A large amount of sexually transmitted
diseases come from around 15 to 30 years
of age. (3)
• At the age when you are starting to figure
yourself out, this can cause issues due to a
lack of knowledge about health and the
body
From 2010 to 2017…
• Chlamydia cases increased by 98%
• Syphilis increased by 122%
• Gonorrhea increased by 196%. (1)
• Safety Zone Screening Center would
decrease the amount of adolescents who go
into young adulthood not knowing they had
an STD to begin with, and help eliminate
the transmission.
• Men in San Francisco, specifically men who
have sex with men, are seen to have a greater
prevalence and higher rate of these specific
STDs.
• Specific STDs along with a coinfection of HIV
have higher rates in the San Francisco area,
especially in men and homosexual
relationships
• history of alcohol
• receptive condomless anal sex
• substance use (“club drugs”)
• multiple sex partners
•
This is due to…
• Lack of testing for these diseases
• Decline in condom use among this age group
• Lack of protective sex (condoms,
contraceptives, etc.)
• Drug use
• Poverty
• Lack of education and large population in San
Francisco
Solution ‘Safety Zone Screening Center’
• Safety Zone Screening Center is a health program
aimed to prevent and treat STDs amongst the San
Francisco’s high-school population.
• Health care workers will volunteer at high schools
to educate teachers, students, and parents
• Designed to reduce the risk behaviors and
increase protective behaviors to treat and prevent
sexually transmitted diseases amongst high school
students.
• Cost effective and safe environment
• Teaches the significance of getting screened for
these diseases and how to prevent spread
• The students would be taught how condoms block
the transmission of diseases
• Educated on how sharing items such as needles,
undergarments, towels or anything that may
contain certain body fluids from a person can
spread HIV and AIDS.
• Many adolescents are unaware of the side
effects of untreated STDs, and it solidifies the
importance of getting screened
• Role model stories
• Personal stories of the importance of protection
against sexually transmitted diseases to spread
awareness
• Role play
• The students will get familiar with role playing
and practice saying “no” in a stressful
situation.
• The students will visualize the correct way to
use a condom modeled, and then practice the
skill in a group role play.
• Parent education
• Parents will receive educational pamphlets on
information regarding HIV and AIDS, other
STDs.
• The pamphlets will also include tips on how to
talk with their children about these issues.
Community Assessment
Demographics: (5)
• White: 46.41%
• Asian: 34.40%
• Other race: 7.68%
• Two or more races: 5.57%
• Black or African American: 5.21%
• Native American: 0.37%
• Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.36%
(1)
• Smoking rates have gone down to 11.4%, and
there is only 4.8% of the population of San
Francisco that does not have health insurance.
• The life expectancy has risen to 83.8 years,
whereas the national median is 77.5 years of
age. (2)
Resources available:
• Healthy San Francisco• Provides services to eligible residents
regardless of immigration status, employment
status, or pre-existing health conditions
• Provides health coverage to 14,000 uninsured
San Francisco residents

Tuberculosis in Homeless Population
on Skid Row, California
Alegra d’Alessandro WCSN, Kasey Dorney WCSN, & Margaret Gregory WCSN
Evelyn L. Spiro School of Nursing Wagner College
Introduction
● Skid Row is home to one of the largest concentrations
of homeless people in the country. (1)
● There is little access to shelter, food, and healthcare
for these residents. (1)
● California has the largest number of cases of
tuberculosis in the Nation.(1)
● The nature of homelessness allows for communicable
diseases such as tuberculosis to spread more quickly.
● The Program TB on Wheels can reduce the rapid rate
of the disease by providing free education classes
regarding the signs and symptoms, advocating to The
Tuberculosis Control Branch to implement rapid
testing, and referring individuals who test positive to
centers that can treat TB (8).
Problem
Community Assessment & Analysis
(1)
Race
Resources Currently Available:
● There are 6 TB testing centers in the Los Angeles
area: AltaMed Health Services, Arroyo Vista Family
Health Center, Asian Pacific Health Care Venture,
East Valley Community Health Center, JWCH Health
Institute, and Martin Luther King Center for Public
Health. (3)
● Of the 6 available testing centers only one specifically
caters towards the Skid Row population, JWCH
Health Institute. (3)
(1)
One of the major health problems in Skid Row, California is Tuberculosis
which is plaguing the community.
● Due to the large number of homeless in this area, and it being “the
epicenter of LA’s addiction crisis” (5), there has been an increase in the
number of cases of TB.
○ There is a large homeless shelter located in the community that
accounts for over 12,000 people.
■ A large number of people in this community are retired veterans
or drug abusers. They account for a large percentage of the
tuberculosis cases.
○ Due to the living conditions, lack of support, and the nature of the
health problems in this population - TB becomes a widespread
concern.
● Illnesses such as TB, are typically uncontrolled and whenever this
happens, it can be dangerous due to the ability for it to transmit easily
and spread so rapidly.
Populations at risk:
● Migrants
● Children less than 5 years of age
● Groups with high rates of TB transmission
○ Homeless persons
○ Injection drug users
○ People with HIV
Other populations in the world that are experiencing outbreaks/high cases of
TB also consist of a community similar to Skid Row.
Factors contributing to the spread of TB are:
○
○
○
○
Crowding
Poor hygiene
Lack of shelter
Poor nutrition
National and Global Health Data:
● Since 2007, the ‘Skid Row Strain’ has been in the community. Within a 6
year span, 78 people have been diagnosed with the strain, 11 of whom
have died. 60 of the diagnosed cases were from the Skid Row area (6).
● TB in the United States: over 8,000 reported cases in 2019. These were
reported to the CDC from 60 different states, cities, and US territories.
There is an estimated 13 million people living with latent TB infection (2).
● According to the WHO, “TB is the 13th leading cause of death and the
second leading infectious killer after COVID-19. In 2020, an estimated 10
million people fell ill with TB worldwide” (7).
● The health district of Skid Row has a tuberculosis rate
of about 9 per every 100,000, which is above the
countywide rate of tuberculosis (2)
● There are 7,000 males and over 3,000 females that
live in Skid Row (1)
● The average household size for Skid Row is about 10
people versus Los Angeles which is 3 people. (1)
● The population density of people who live in Skid Row
is 3 times greater than of Los Angeles confirming that
those in this community live in close proximity to each
other. (1)

Proposed Solution
● Program named TB on Wheels, that focuses on
three major activities
■ First activity is free educational classes at
homeless shelters that are taught by
volunteer health care workers regarding
proper hygiene, signs and symptoms of
TB, medication regimen, etc.
● Health care workers will be collecting
donations from their own community to
hand out free hand sanitizers, masks,
food and water.
● They will also be creating their own
flyers to hand out regarding TB
information.
■ Next activity is advocating to healthcare
organizations such as The Tuberculosis
Control Branch in California and applying
for grants to try and implement rapid TB
testing (9).
● The Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra assay (rapid
TB test) was first done in a French
prison hospital, and had a “sensitivity,
specificity, positive and negative
predictive values of around 99% on raw
sputum” (9). The testing is FDA
approved, and can significantly reduce
the rapid spread of TB by 18 days (9).
■ Last program activity is referring individuals
who test positive to centers that can help
treat and manage TB. The Tuberculosis
Control Branch offers various resources
such as testing, treatment and community
resources (8).
● Overall, we want anyone from the homeless
population that is attending TB on Wheels to be
able to identify three early signs and symptoms
of TB after completion of the program, list two
ways of taking proper precaution when
exposed, and be able to verbalize where to
receive treatment.
● In conclusion, TB on Wheels was designed to
stop the spread as efficiently as possible, and
allow the homeless population to seek the
treatment they deserve.

Adequate Training for First Responders to Resolve Knowledge Deficit
of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Toms River, NJ
Steven DeCarlo, WCNS & Gianna DiCostanzo, WCNS
Evelyn L. Spiro School of Nursing at Wagner College
Introduction
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to a
broad range of conditions characterized by
social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and
nonverbal communication
First Responders in Toms River, NJ are
challenged when providing emergency care to
community members with Autism Spectrum
Disorder due to lack of adequate training and
education.
This leads to a great deal of distress for both
the patient who is in need of emergent care and
the first responders.
Our proposed solution explains education
systems in which First Responders will receive the
knowledge of ASD and how to handle real-life
situations of those with ASD.

Community Assessment and Analysis
Toms River, New Jersey
Population 2022:
89,254 (1)
There is a higher risk for wandering, abduction,
child/domestic abuse, etc. (3).
There are several states throughout the US where first
responders and other professionals are unaware of what
Autism Spectrum Disorder entails.
Internet- based NJ Learn system as a part of their
training in autism awareness and response.
Studies show that with this online learning system,
more first responders are educated on what to do in case
of an emergency and they need to care for an autistic
child (3).
May misinterpret the individuals with ASD’s behavior
as delinquency
Behaviors include acts of aggression, screaming,
crying, and self-injury (3)
Toms River New Jersey offers a limited number of
close-range community resources which offer care for
those with ASD:
(1)
(1)
71.177% Born in Toms River
Educate that each person with ASD are unique and
adapts to the world on their own terms.
91.05% Native Born
Provide medical actors simulating real-life, hands-on
situations of someone with autism.
8.95% Foreign Born
This type of “role-play/theatre” aims to help first
responders feel more comfortable at first before
jumping into real life scenarios.
Conduct a debriefing session that would include a
group Q/A with ASD experts along with mandatory
competency testing to ensure understanding and safety
on ASD.
Reassures the participants that they have gained the
necessary knowledge needed to handle situations
Problem in the Community
The Autism rate in Toms River is twice the state of
New Jersey’s average as a whole (2).
Proposed Solution
It is the nurse’s job to understand how each
individual functions and to find the best ways to
communicate with that person and to give them the
proper care they need.
Providing first responders with scenario-based and
in-person training with those with ASD can help produce
a better outcome of care for all.

Covid-19 Impact on the Amish Population in the
Community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
• In Lancaster County, there were about
20% of positive cases, meaning 90%
of Amish households were hit by
Covid-19, however, less than 10%
agreed to be tested (4).
• Although they complied with state
guidelines, was the Amish community
taking the proper steps to effectively
prevent the spread of Covid-19 or was
more action necessary?
PROPOSED SOLUTION
REFERENCES
• The community of Lancaster County
in Pennsylvania is home to the Amish,
which are a group of people who do
not utilize modern technology and
choose to live a more traditional life.
• The Amish attend large church
gatherings and follow the church’s
concepts rather than believe in modern
medicine (1). The Amish believe that
they do not need protection through
vaccines if God is on their side with
them.
• Community members do not have their
own doctors since education is limited
to the eighth grade and they avoid
regular visits to their physicians (3).
• The Amish rejected social distancing,
PPE, testing, and Covid-19 vaccines
throughout the pandemic, which lead
to many positive cases and deaths in
Lancaster County (2).
• Educational services in the church
could allow the nurse to gain the
Amish’s trust, ensuring their
wellbeing.
• The population of the Amish
community in Lancaster County
is approximately 32,900 in a
town of roughly 533,320(3).
• Amish economy is primarily
agrarian based on their
agriculture and trading. After
farming, they often go to local
markets and sell their goods to
businesses.
• Amish generally have lower
rates of diseases in comparison
to Non-Amish. For example,
Amish have about 66% lower
rate of diabetes, 54% lower rate
of hypertension and 13% lower
rate of hyperlipidemia than NonAmish populations in Lancaster
due to their lifestyle (5).
• During the pandemic, posters
and flyers were administered to
the Amish to demonstrate proper
hand hygiene methods to reduce
Covid-19 cases (6).
• Amish culture consists of Dutch
dialect, Christianity, with roots
dating back to the Seventeenth
Century (7). Their life is
centered around the family,
church, and work.
• In the town of Lancaster County,
there was a vaccine clinic for six
weeks where 400 people were
vaccinated. Out of those
vaccinated, 12 were exclusively
Amish (2).
COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT
PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
Sidney Marjamaa WCSN, Inna Palinchak WCSN, Diana Zuberi WCSN
• A nurse can establish educational services for the Amish, including having
a visiting provider, which would encourage personal health and would
ensure the community’s overall wellbeing. For example, a visiting
provider for this community would allow Amish members to be able to
have regular checkups, and routine bloodwork.
• Currently, during church meetings, the Amish are accepting the idea of
embracing new technology throughout their daily lives which can improve
the way they live overall.
• A nurse’s role in this community would be to encourage the Amish
population to adhere to state regulations and guidelines in hopes to
decrease the spread of Covid-19.
• Nurses would have to gain the trust of the Amish community in Lancaster
County, in hopes for them to understand the importance of Covid-19
vaccines, and community testing. A nurse should educate throughout their
church services since their life revolves around the church, ensuring the
nurse can earn their trust.

Increased Social Media Usage Related to Mental Health

o
o
Introduction
o
●
o
Due to Covid-19, isolation caused a spike in social
media usage. The effects of an increase in social media
usage has caused many individuals mental health
problems such as anxiety, depression, and eating
disorders. 1
“Global Web Index latest numbers show that
almost one in four internet users aged 16 to 64
now uses social media for work-related activities”2
Will community outreach programs reduce the
cases of mental illness related to social media usage in
youths within the community of Soho?
Increased social media usage has lead to chronic stress causing
depression and anxiety, which in turn can lead to isolation.
Stress produced from constantly trying to project an
unrealistic and unachievable perception of perfection within
your social network.
Being constantly alert for new social media messages, to your
instinctive fight or flight limbic system, is the same as being on
continuous alert for predators, which causes a release of the
stress hormone cortisol.
Community Assessment and Analysis
o
Soho is a neighborhood in Manhattan that is
only about 1 square mile in size. Although the city
may be small 14,000 people reside within the area.

Hold an educational and self-care event at a community resource center
through New York University would appeal to both students and the
surrounding community that fall within the demographic of ages 18 to 24.
Within this community outreach program would be workshop stations such
as educational seminars, meditation centers, group discussions, educational
short films and self care activities.
This outreach program will take place for 3 consecutive
weekends, Friday through Sunday
Assess the growth of individuals on a long-term scale, another set
of programs will take place 6 months after the completion of the first.
10 to 20 minutes of daily mindfulness meditation for 30 days using
a mobile application can decrease perceived stress and improve
wellbeing. 7
An introduction to apps such as these would allow mindfulness
and meditation to follow individuals into their everyday lives following
the program while also using techniques that are also familiar to
them, apps.

The long-term use of smartphones can lead to the
development of symptoms such as headache, extreme irritation,
increase in carelessness, forgetfulness, decrease of reflexes, and
clicking sound in ears. This association of individuals with their
smartphones has led to the emergence of a new kind of
psychological disorder called phantom syndrome characterized by
a frequent false feeling of ringing and vibration from the
smartphones” 6

CURRENT SOLUTIONS:
$2 million ad campaign proposed and approved to bring awareness about
mental health throughout New York City. The city’s first lady, Chirlan McCray
believes, “If we can prevent mental illness from spiraling into more serious mental
illness, it’s going to have a huge effect on public safety,” 8
Soho has their own center for those struggling with their mental health. It is
called “The Soho Center for Mental Health.” They help clients cope with a slew of
mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, and
substance abuse. They provide family counseling, couples counseling, and even
cognitive therapy. The center serves clients of all ages; children, teens and adults. 9
The social economic status in Soho is higher when compared to other areas of Manhattan. The median household income of
homeowners in the year 2019 was $164,860. (“Soho Demographics”) This is said to be 134% higher than what the average New
Yorker makes.
It was shown 91% of the population felt their overall health was ‘excellent, good, or great.’ 3. Although many were deemed to be in
good health, out of 100,000 hospitalizations, 426 of those were considered to be avoidable. The community was researched to be
4% obese, 3% are reported to be diabetic, and 15% have high blood pressure. 4The binge drinking rate in Soho is 8% higher than the
median rate in NYC as a whole. In Soho the binge drinking rate is 25%.”4
The psychiatric hospitalization rate in this area is predominately low. For every 100,000 hospitalizations 267 of those were
for psychiatric help. Within the past year dealing with seclusion from COVID, “The city’s 311 system recorded over 17,330 calls
between March and December 2020 related to mental health issues — nearly 85 times more than the 206 calls recorded during
the same time period in 2019, city data shows. Another 5,866 were recorded between January and April 1 of this year [2021].” 5

Modern Society’s Effects On Obesity in Children and Adolescents On the North Shore of Staten Island
Chelsea Kennedy WCSN, Nicolette Portaro WCSN, Kaitlyn Rosatelli WCSN
The Evelyn L. Spiro School of Nursing at Wagner College
Introduction
● The youth of the North Shore community are
gaining weight due to easy access to fast and
unhealthy food, staying home more, and less
physical activity.
● About 15% of persons live in poverty (2),
making the opportunity to eat healthy and
sustainable foods difficult.
● This problem has a major effect on the
community because an increased rate of obesity
in children can lead to higher rates of obesity,
heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic
diseases in adults.
North Shore
Community Assessment and Analysis
Problem
● Total population 175,000. (1)
● The average household income is $73,000. (1)
● The North Shore has the highest rates of Diabetes, COPD,
Asthma, heart failure and cardiac issues on Staten Island. (4)
● Health Resources for youth on SI: 10 Urgent Care centers,
NYC DOE, The Staten Island Child Wellness Initiative
(SICWI), DASH-NY and Action for Healthy Kids.
● The root of the problem stems from the strict stay-at-home orders imposed
in reaction to the Coronavirus global pandemic. Schools closed and
children lost the safety net of access to nutritious food, a safe place to be,
and mandatory physical activity as well as their social networks and
familiar routines.
● Widespread job loss resulting in higher rates of household food insecurity
may lead to lower consumption of fruits and vegetables and higher
consumption of processed foods and beverages. Understanding how
pandemic mitigation approaches affect child health behaviors including
physical activity, screen time, sleep and diet as well as the impact on
household food insecurity is critical to creating policies that protect the
community while doing the least harm to children.
● Cancellation of extracurricular activities and sporting events added to the
lack of physical exercise among any given population.
Proposed Solution
● Encouraging an overall healthy weight, a wholesome relationship
with food, and understanding of consistent exercise through innovative
wellness programs, such as the following:
● Comprehensive weight management program options can be
incorporated systematically (like in schools - based on target
audience), and technologically (in interactive apps and websites
tailored for youth). Although technology can support sedentary
lifestyle, it is also a great outlet for exercise promotion. Technology
like apps, websites, and telemedicine provide easy access to treatment
and exercise programs. (3)
● Physical education classes, mental health counseling, and nutrition
classes should be incorporated into school curriculums at an early age.
● Public officials and schools will bring more attention to resources
that are already available in the community, like The Staten Island
Child Wellness Initiative (SICWI), DASH-NY, and Action for Healthy
Kids.
Apps for food education and exercise programs:
MyFitnessPal
Fooducate
Sworkit Kids Apple Fitness

An Analysis on the Increased Rate of Thyroid Disorder in Staten Island
Gianna Micalizzi WCSN, Lakeisha Seaforth WCSN
The Evelyn L. Spiro School of Nursing Wagner College
Introduction
● Among middle age women living on Staten Island, does early
detection of thyroid cancer through the My Thyroid initiative with
health advertisements increase the rate of early detection and cancer
diagnosis?
● Staten Island is the second smallest borough in the New York City
region and it has the highest Thyroid cancer rate in the entire State.
● Staten Island has 66% of Thyroid cancer cases for both sexes in
comparison with the other four boroughs. When compared to the State
of New York excluding the four boroughs, Staten Island has 69% of
the Thyroid cancer cases for both sexes.
Problem in the Community
● Thyroid cancer is the fifth most common cancer in women in the USA, and an estimated over 62,000 new
cases occurred in men and women in 2015 (2).
● The American Thyroid Association estimates that 20 million US citizens are affected with a thyroid disorder.
● Thyroid cancer, a slow-progressing disease, occurs in the cells of the thyroid — a butterfly-shaped gland
located at the base of the neck (3).
○ Nearly all spikes in thyroid cancer have been of the differentiated thyroid cancer type with the subtype,
papillary carcinoma.
● The former Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, in his Cancer Research Initiative (2017) conducted
local studies examining the increase in thyroid cancer rates across New York City and New York State (4).
○ Data shows that Staten Island, NY has thyroid cancer rates that are nearly 70 percent higher than the rest
of New York State.
○ Thyroid cancer, primarily of the Papillary Carcinoma type, is the most common cancer among women
aged 35-39 on Staten Island.
○ Between 1996 and 2015, thyroid tumors of the papillary type increased from 77% to 92% in Staten Island.
● The increase in thyroid cancer on Staten Island, NY corresponds to an increase in routine diagnostic imaging
following the September 11th, 2001 attack of the World Trade Center (4).
○ Diagnostic testing included neck ultrasounds, cancer screenings and post-surgery diagnosis of thyroid
cancer.
● According to Healthy People 2030, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends against thyroid
cancer screening in the general population. Specific to those who (5):
Proposed Solution
● “My Thyroid” Health Program would be readily available on Staten
Island and directed at women between the ages of 45-60 to improve
the standard and quality of care for those with endocrine disorders of
the thyroid.
● Our program will provide primary prevention through education of
evidence based practice gathered by endocrinologists, nurses and data
collection from organization such as American Cancer Society.
○ The research and data will help educate the public about signs and
symptoms of thyroid disorders and risk factors of thyroid cancer.
● Our ultimate goal is to spread awareness to the Staten Island
community on thyroid health and to decrease unnecessary diagnostic
testing of thyroid disease for asymptomatic individuals.
● The solution is based on Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model of
Nursing Theory. This theory prioritizes primary prevention of illness
and health promotion in which the nursing curriculum should be
revised to reflect this emphasis (6).
○ Don’t have a family history of thyroid cancer.
○ Don’t have previous exposure.
Community Assessment and Analysis
○ Don’t have certain inherited genetic cancer conditions.
○ Don’t have symptoms.
● Staten Island has a population of 476,143 which is a 36% increase
compared to 350,000 in the 1990s.
● The median household income is $89,821 and it is ranks as one of the
least poverty stricken borough with the average poverty rate of 8.3%
● Employment grew by 13 percent since 2012 with a record of 97,000
new jobs in 2017. The largest employer is the healthcare field,
followed the Retail and lastly the Construction industry (1).
● 20 years ago, Staten Island experienced the aftermath of 9/11 with the
1.5 million tons of debris from the explosion being transported into the
Freshkills landfill, in the South Shore area. The landfill is currently
being transformed into a park.
● The major health concerns in Staten Island are cancer, obesity, mental
hygiene and alcoholism.
● Staten Island medical community is encouraging patients to get
screened for thyroid cancers. The borough has invested in
advertisements that educate and encourage residents to get screened as
well as providing free screenings.

Title

Senior Presentations Archive
Description
An account of the resource
This archive contains materials from Wagner’s annual ‘Senior Presentations.’ This event honors outstanding students from each discipline who completed their Senior Learning Community project with excellence. The work is representative of Wagner’s highest standards, and is exemplary of the diversity of subject matter, public-facing scholarship, and civic-minded professionalism our students have attained through their four years here. These students were specially invited to present their work in a formal setting, traditionally the day of Baccalaureate. Students are encouraged to present their work in a format appropriate for their discipline, and so, the presentations vary in their format. Some might be in the form of a short video, or paper abstracts, while others might be posters or music clips. We expect this archive to serve as a resource for generations to come. Congratulations to our Seniors!
