The main objective of esta research is to determine the level of concentration of particulate materials of the size of 10 microns and 2.5 microns of an artisanal foundry, and to Evaluate the health in workers' respiratory diseases, as well as to find a relationship Between the particulate materials and the respiratory diseases, Which the project is located in the district of San Antonio, Department of Huarochiri, Department of Lima, Peru - 2017. The gravimetric analysis method approved by the General Directorate of Environmental Health DIGESA was used, with the Protocol for air quality monitoring and data management, to determine the level of concentration of particulate material and on the other hand Health Assessments in respiratory diseases Were used a survey made by a doctor in pulmonology, Which was Then backed by medical examinations performed on workers. It was Determined That the particulate materials of 10 microns and 2.5 microns Were above environmental quality standards, Which is Considered as risky for the health of people, and in respiratory diseases it was Concluded That some of the subjects of the population of study are With occupational diseases.

Clinical Records

This study aimed to document the types, management and follow up of health issues identified by all Aboriginal Health Assessments (AHA) performed at Orange Aboriginal Medical Service from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2012. This was done with a retrospective audit of clinical records. In total, 1169 AHAs were performed: 41% child, 53% adult and 6% older person AHAs. Newly identified health issues were documented in 85% (984). Being overweight (41%; 476) and smoking (26%; 301) were the common risk factors identified. As a result of the AHA, most children who were not up-to-date with their vaccinations received catch-up immunisations; 11% (36) of adult women (n=314) received a Pap smear, although Pap smear status was unknown or not up-to-date for 61% (192); 27% (311) of cases were prescribed new medication; and 1239 referrals were made but only 40% were attended. At 6 months following the AHA, 26% (240) of cases with newly identified health issues were completely managed and followed up, whereas 25% (226) received no follow up. The AHAs are useful for identifying new health issues; however, follow up of the identified health issues should be improved. If AHAs are to improve health outcomes, appropriate management and follow up of the identified health issues are essential.

The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) is a structured assessment tool designed to facilitate the effective intervention and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders by assessing each youth’s risk level and criminogenic needs. The present study examined the YLS/CMI’s reliability and validity in a sample of 107 juvenile offenders who were court-referred for mental health assessments. Results demonstrated the YLS/CMI’s internal consistency and interrater reliability. Moreover, the instrument’s predictive validity was substantiated on a number of recidivism measures for both males and females. Limitations of the current findings are discussed.
