"Does our clinical practice acknowledge what we already know—namely, that social and environmental forces will limit the effectiveness of our treatments?"
"This means working at multiple levels, from “distal” interventions—performed late in the process, when patients are already sick—to “proximal” interventions—trying to prevent illness through efforts such as vaccination or improved water and housing quality."
"Yet risk has never been determined solely by individual behavior: susceptibility to infection and poor outcomes is aggravated by social factors such as poverty, gender inequality, and racism."
This group works in varying social ecologies therefore requiring it to be very flexible and prepared for the any possible social ecology it may encounter.

This article discusses the health and living inequalities faced by individuals housed in Rikers correctional facilities. It discusses that when individuals are housed there they live in subpar conditions with very little representation in legislature. The infrastructure is crumbling and residences prone to flooding. It also touches on the life lived by post-incarceration individiuals. The end tells of the hardships faced by those because it leaves them without a steady home, very little financial assistance, and a sense of self destruction.
The chapters' main idea is supported by the use of statistics, historical analysis, and personal anecdotes of immigrants going through the system.

- This discusses the difference in ideals between the time periods over time. It discusses the change from approximately 1974 where the assumption that immigrants were only wanted if they were able to be an active producing member of the workforce to the 90s where compassion was more prevalent.
- The use of the testimonial of the Senegalese man shows the effort put into individuals to use their health as a reason for immigration. As stated by the article, the man had many arguments to try and apply for immigration status, but he heavily relied on his health to be the deciding factor.

I can't really find any concise information in regards to the IIPNW having direct publications or legislation passed. They seem as more of an organization that compiles information, and presents at global colloquiums in order to swy opinions for preventions of escalation. They also have many outreach programs for new physicians that help support the idea of nuclear prevention.
I thought most aspects of the film served a purpose, the attidtudes of some of the physicians, though realistic, was somewhat off putting.

We-Consent is buggy and seems to only have video recording capabiities.
