As you know, physical and mental health are important factors in a student's success in college. http://www.nyu.edu/studyabroad/pdf/Parent.Health.Letter.pdf. Students can take responsibility for their own health and welfare by planning for and following through on their individual needs, taking into account that the full range of services available at NYU in New York City is not available at the study abroad sites. International health insurance coverage is required for all students studying on our programs. In planning for your son or daughter's overall health and wellness, be sure that his or her insurance coverage provides both mental health and general health benefits abroad. Once you have determined that it makes sense for your son or daughter to study abroad and reviewed your insurance, it is important for you to arrange beforehand to have mental health or related services available in his or her new home city. Instead, students who need regular and frequent care are encouraged to get referrals to private mental health providers in the city where they will be studying. In addition, prescriptions written in the U.S. are not honored abroad, so you should either secure enough medication for the entire duration of your son or daughter's stay or plan for access to a local mental health professional who can write prescriptions. The University will make every effort to assist students if they experience health or mental health challenges while abroad. In a time of crisis, the ability of our staff and local health professionals to help will be hindered if we do not have accurate health information for your son or daughter on file, including a detailed past medical and mental health

You can seek general advice on your legal duties in relation to health surveillance from the Employment Medical Advisory Service, based in HSE offices. Suppliers and manufacturers of equipment and substances often provide information on specific health risks. Professional bodies, particularly those which oversee the training of occupational health professionals, could also be useful sources of information. Employees need to understand their role and responsibilities in the health surveillance programme. watching out for early signs of work-related ill health in employees exposed to certain health risks. Don't confuse this type of health surveillance with health promotion or general health checks. But remember that health surveillance is not a substitute for controlling health risks at work.

GAO reviewed (1) the experience of providers and health plans in implementation; (2) the experience of public health entities, researchers, and representatives of patients in obtaining access to health information; and (3) the extent to which patients appear to be aware of their rights. GAO recommends that HHS (1) require that patients be informed of mandatory disclosures to public health authorities in privacy notices and exempt such disclosures from the accounting requirement, and (2) conduct a public information campaign to improve patients' awareness of their rights. HHS noted that it continues to monitor the public's experience with the accounting provision to assess the need to modify the rule and described ongoing efforts to educate consumers. GAO remains concerned about the burden of accounting for disclosures to public health authorities and believes it is important that HHS more effectively disseminate information about the Privacy Rule. www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?GAO-04-965.

Some Early Head Start programs facilitate access to health care, while others provide health services directly. The Head Start Program Performance Standards (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [DHHS], 1996) require programs to assist families in obtaining health insurance and a regular source of health care. Health status and access to health care were studied as part of the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project. may be limited by the high rate of health care services received by the program and control groups and the fact that many of the research programs recruited families at health clinics or WIC offices, where families were linked to health services before applying to Early Head Start. The health status of program children was similar to the health status of low-income children in other national studies. In general, children in low-income families are more likely than other children to experience fair or poor health, less likely to have health insurance and access to quality health care, and more likely to experience exposure to environmental risks (DHHS, 2002). The health status of infants and toddlers can support or limit efforts to enhance development in other domains; therefore, it is important for Early Head Start staff to learn about the health of participating children. Knowledge of health problems can help staff identify and begin to address gaps in health services in the families' service plans.
