The importance of early identification of hearing loss is summarized in the report issued by the United States (US) Department of Health and Human Services,1 entitled "Healthy People 2000." The goal is to reduce the average age at which children with significant hearing impairment are identified to no more than 12 months. The report states: The future of a child born with significant hearing impairment depends to a very large degree on early identification (ie, audiological diagnosis before 12 months of age) followed by immediate and appropriate intervention.

Az 1980-ban megjelent első kiadás óta az Amerikaiaknak szóló étrendi ajánlások (Dietary Guidelines for Americans) tudományosan megalapozott tanácsokat adnak arra vonatkozóan, hogy mit kell enni és inni az egészség megőrzése, a krónikus betegségek kockázatának csökkentése és a tápanyagszükséglet kielégítése érdekében. Az étrendi ajánlások közzétételét az 1990. évi Nemzeti Táplálkozásfigyelő és Kapcsolódó Kutatási Törvény (National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act) írja elő, amely kimondja, hogy az Egyesült Államok Mezőgazdasági Minisztériuma (U. S. Departments of Agriculture, USDA) és az Egészségügyi és Humán Szolgáltatások Minisztériuma (Health and Human Services, HHS) legalább öt évente közösen tegyen közzé egy jelentést, amely táplálkozási és étrendi információkat, ajánlásokat tartalmaz a lakosság számára. A törvény (Public Law 101-445, 7 United States Code 5341 et seq.) előírja, hogy az étrendi ajánlásoknak a jelenlegi tudományos és orvosi ismereteken kell alapulniuk. Az étrendi ajánlások 2020-2025-ös kiadása a 2015-ös kiadásra épül, a 2020-as étrendi ajánlások tanácsadó bizottságának tudományos jelentésén (Scientific Report of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee) alapuló felülvizsgálatokkal, valamint a szövetségi ügynökségek és a lakossági észrevételek figyelembevételével.

<em>Background</em>. In public health, interpersonal influence has been identified as an important factor in the spread of health information, and in understanding and changing health behaviors. However, little is known about influence in public health leadership. Influence is important in leadership settings, where public health professionals contribute to national policy and practice agendas. Drawing on social theory and recent advances in statistical network modeling, we examined influence in a network of tobacco control leaders at the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). <em>Design and Methods.</em> Fifty-four tobacco control leaders across all 11 agencies in the DHHS were identified; 49 (91%) responded to a web-based survey. Participants were asked about communication with other tobacco control leaders, who influenced their work, and general job characteristics. Exponential random graph modeling was used to develop a network model of influence accounting for characteristics of individuals, their relationships, and global network structures. <em>Results</em>. Higher job ranks, more experience in tobacco control, and more time devoted to tobacco control each week increased the likelihood of influence nomination, as did more frequent communication between network members. Being in the same agency and working the same number of hours per week were positively associated with mutual influence nominations. Controlling for these characteristics, the network also exhibited patterns associated with influential clusters of network members. <em>Conclusions</em>. Findings from this unique study provide a perspective on influence within a government agency that both helps to understand decision-making and also can serve to inform organizational efforts that allow for more effective structuring of leadership.
