Counties selecting public health priorities--a "bottom-up" approach (Croatian experience).

The subject of this paper is how to incorporate a multi-disciplinary and inter-sectored approach into development of public health policy and plans at the local (county) level in Croatia by educational program. Method used was the public health capacity building program "Health--Plan for it", which was developed with the aim to assist the counties to overcome recognized weaknesses and introduce more effective and efficient local public health practices. Two main instruments were used: Local Public Health Practice Performance Measures Instrument, and Basic Priority Rating System. This program has helped counties to asses population health needs in a participatory manner, to plan for health and, ultimately, assure provision of the right kind and quality of services (better tailored to population health needs). This program's benefits are going beyond and above the county level. It provides support for the Healthy Cities project locally, and facilitates changes in national policymaking body's mindset that a "one-size-fits-all" approach is sufficient.

Changing pattern of cardiovascular disease in the Japanese population in relation to hypertension control programs.

The changing pattern of cardiovascular disease during the last 30 years in Japan is described. The most striking change was a reduction in deaths caused by hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. There was no increase in ischemic heart disease in the rural area studied but such a trend was shown in the urban area. A change in risk factors for cardiovascular disease, reduction in blood pressure, and increase in serum cholesterol were more marked in the rural than the urban area. Institution of a hypertension control program and marked changes in lifestyle, including diet, could explain the relatively rapid change in the frequency and the type of cardiovascular disease, particularly cerebral stroke. The prevention of atherosclerotic complications such as cerebral infarction and ischemic heart disease is becoming a more important task in preventive cardiology.

The prevention of noise-induced hearing loss in the school-aged population: a school educational hearing conservation program.

A questionnaire assessing knowledge of hearing and hearing loss, and planned hearing conservation practices, was collected from 71 high school students before and after an educational hearing conservation program (HCP) consisting of a film, a lecture and a handout. An average increase of 16.7% correct responses from pre- to postexposure to the HCP was found. Moreover, substantial percentages of respondents stated that they now plan to use hearing protection devices and procedures, when appropriate, and about 80% stated they found the HCP helpful to them.
