CHAPTER 3: Public Health Promotion and Protection, Disease Prevention,and Emergency Preparednessand effectiveness of the program effort. SAMHSA willcontinue to utilize the SPF and expand its use through itsState and local grant programs.Suicide PreventionFor every two victims of homicide in the United States,there are three Americans who take their own lives.Suicide is a potentially preventable public healthproblem. Studies of youth who have committed suicidehave found that 90 percent had a diagnosable mentaland/or substance abuse disorder at the time of theirdeath. xxxi SAMHSA supports activities authorized by theGarrett Lee Smith Memorial Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-355), which support statewide youth suicide interventionand prevention strategies in schools, institutions ofhigher education, juvenile justice systems, substanceabuse and mental health programs, foster care systems,and other youth support organizations. Additionally,OD is working on an initiative to understand and helpprevent suicide among persons with disabilities andthose who incur disabilities.Risk ReductionChronic conditions currently limit activities for 12million older people living in community settings inthe United States; 25 percent of these individuals areunable to perform basic activities of daily living, suchas bathing, shopping, dressing, or eating. Furthermore,falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths andhospital admission among older people and account forbetween 20 billion and 30 billion health care dollars inthe United States each year. These numbers will increasedramatically in the coming years with the aging of theBaby Boom Generation. AHRQ, AoA, CDC, CMS, andNIH contribute to research, demonstrations, the settingof national standards and guidelines, and the provisionof grants and technical assistance to help older adultsmanage their chronic diseases and prevent falls and toencourage them to live healthy and active lifestyles.For example, AoA funds an Evidence-Based Disabilityand Disease Prevention grant program and public/private partnership which deploys proven disabilityand disease prevention programs at the communitylevel that empower older individuals to makebehavioral changes that will reduce their risk of disease,disability, and injury. AHRQ and AoA, in collaborationwith CDC, CMS, and NIH, are developing and testinga special Knowledge Transfer program targeted atState and local agency staff to promote and facilitatethe utilization of evidence-based disease preventionprograms for older people at the community level. CDCfunds fall prevention research, research dissemination,and research translation and implementation that helpdecrease falls and increase stability in mobile olderadults. CMS is demonstrating a health promotion anddisease prevention program through the MedicareSenior Risk Reduction Demonstration to determinewhether health risk reduction programs that have beendeveloped, tested, and shown to be effective in theprivate sector can be tailored to the Medicare programto help beneficiaries improve their health and thusreduce the need for health care services.74 HHS Strategic Plan FY 2007-2012
CHAPTER 3: Public Health Promotion and Protection, Disease Prevention,and Emergency PreparednessStrategic Objective 2.4Prepare for and respond to natural andmanmade disasters.The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act of2006 (PAHPA; Public Law 109-417) codified the HHSSecretary’s role as lead for the Federal public health andmedical response to emergencies and incidents coveredby the National Response Plan (NRP), and authorizesHHS’s operational control of Federal public healthand medical response assets during these events. 8 Inaddition, the development of the Homeland SecurityCouncil’s National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza hasstressed the importance of preparedness for naturaland manmade disasters that have public health impact.Many of the strategies undertaken by HHS to achievepreparedness and response capability are done inconcert with or in support of other Federal departmentsand agencies, State and local governments, and privatesector entities. This collaborative approach is vitalgiven that public health emergencies have the potentialto affect nearly every sector of society. One of HHS’slargest investments is to develop and stockpile thecountermeasures needed to respond to the most seriousdisasters. Consequently, a performance indicator listedat the end of this chapter assesses the readiness of Statesto utilize these supplies. A second indicator focuses onthe extent to which State emergency management planscover the broad array of individuals with special needs,specifically measuring plans for those with disabilities.The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparednessand Response (ASPR) is the single office responsible forpreparedness and response activities within HHS. As theprincipal advisor to the Secretary on all matters relatedto public health and medical preparedness and responseemergencies, ASPR leads and promotes a collaborativeapproach with many partners, including ACF, AoA, CDC,CMS, FDA, HRSA, OPHS, and SAMHSA.
