Determinants of Infant mortalityCurrent LectureSizzurp is a new beverage that kids and teenagers have created. It is a mixture of soda, jolly ranchers and cough syrup that has traces of hydrocodine. This dangerous mixture causes a high, a sugar rush and the taste causes young adults to want more of it. This drink can essentially become addictive and the students that partake in the consumption of this beverage can lose count of how much they drank which would cause an overdose.This is a public health issue because young adults are using hydrocodine, which is a drug.Overdosing on this drug affects a population, not just the individual. These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Media has advertised it in songs, music videos and youtube. In the social aspect it is being advertised by friends and peers. The availability of codine laced cough syrup is an issue that has been brought up. There are high risk behaviors, guiding videos of how to make this drink and clever ways of promoting. Public Health is important because it helps determine the mortality and morbidity rates. Two important indicators of a society’s healthiness are life expectancy and infant mortality rates. Mortality rate is determined by how good a job society does to keep newborns alive. In today’s society there is a longer life expectancy, better quality of life and 20th century achievements. Longer life expectancy is due to clean water and sanitation. In the past the ratio of babies dying was 110 out of every 1000. Today 7 out of 1000 babies dies in the US. Overall infant mortality includes neonatal deaths(less than 28yrs after birth) and postneonatal deaths(28 days to 11 months after birth). This information is relevant to public health because it is used to compare the health and well-being of populations within countries. This indicates current health status of the population and helps predict the health status a few stages down the
