Our podcast is about how correctional facilities often fail to address the needs of incarcerated women, including appropriate medical healthcare - an issue as many women are pregnant or give birth while incarcerated. These incarcerated pregnant women then face difficult circumstances as imprisonment imposes restrictions on prenatal care, such as testing and treatment for people who have high-risk pregnancies, rehabilitative services for mothers struggling with mental illness and substance abuse, appropriate hospital arrangements for labor and delivery, healthy nutrients and diet, access to birth control and abortions, proper sanitation, and contact with the newborn.

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 - 08min - 201 - (Season 8) Is it ADHD or Just Immaturity?
The current, well-known symptoms of ADHD in children are overly broad, leading to misdiagnoses based on age-related immaturity rather than genuine clinical signs, preventing various student populations from receiving the treatment they need to thrive in the classroom. Our objective is to inform listeners that their current assumptions about ADHD are most likely too broad and inform them that this leads to misdiagnosis based on age-related immaturity rather than genuine clinical symptoms and that the behavioral changes they make can help combat this issue. Studies have shown that in school-age children, a child who may have just turned five years of age may be 70% more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than a child who is almost six. Children who are younger than their peers and born closer to the school start age cut-off are more frequently diagnosed and treated for ADHD. There is a higher risk for academic difficulty associated with those with ADHD. Thus, the implications of these biased over-diagnoses lead to younger children being disadvantaged by maturity differences.

We want to spread awareness about food insecurity in the United States. We focus on food insecurity, specifically among impoverished families, populations with low socioeconomic status, and low-income individuals. It is more challenging for this group of people to access more nutritious foods due to the higher cost. This causes this population of people to turn to cheap or fast foods that are unhealthier options. Food insecurity has also been linked to the development of chronic illnesses, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, hepatitis, or stroke, among adults in food-secure households.

Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern in both people and food production. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, making infections harder to treat. This can result in worse illness, increased healthcare costs, and even death. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can also spread through food production and contaminate food due to misuse.

Human action is causing an increase in global temperatures. Because of this, vectors, or pests carrying human disease, will be more prevalent, specifically in the United States. Increased vector prevalence will lead to an increased number of deaths due to infectious diseases. While this all seems very grim, human action can be taken to slow the effects of global warming. These actions can include voting for leaders that support legislation, regulating large impacts on the climate, writing to your representatives, letting others around you know about the impact their habits have on the Earth, or making small habit changes at home.

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 - 11min - 140 - (Season 6) Elder Abuse: The Most Overlooked Epidemic
Throughout public health and society, elderly abuse is swept under the rug and rarely mentioned in the news. Elderly abuse has a great effect on society as many families have to make hard decisions about how to best handle the living conditions and care of parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents. These people often have cognitive and physical impairments that have caused them to require specialized care that their families are not equipped to provide alone. While there isn’t a clear solution, our goal is to highlight the signs of elderly abuse while also bringing awareness to this overlooked epidemic.
