state of community health and its grey areas.
3. What are my learning objectives and were they meet?
As a public health worker my objective in community-focused care was also to

health theory on a local, personalized level, community I would like to cater services to a specific
demographic and bring a sense of wellness to communities that would otherwise lack proper access
to care apart from being a social worker my objective also to engage in community health been
met and I shall continue to serve & identify how variables related to socioeconomic status — such

4. Learning from modules and how I applied the learning in my work.
Reflections on use of the LMS, videos and participation in live online sessions.
It’s been an experience by itself and a wonderful one. I learnt so many things I never knew
and that too in detail and I feel there is so much more to learn and explore. Each module by itself
was so interesting and engaging that it made me see at things in a diverse way.
I attempted and actualized many modules in my work as well.
The modules that interested me the most were:•

Non Communicable disease
Communicable disease
Mental health
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how
we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and
make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood
and adolescence through adulthood
A few causes for mental health problems?
• childhood abuse,
• Neglect.
• social isolation
• Loneliness.
• experiencing discrimination and stigma
•
Including racism.
• Social disadvantage,
•
•
•
•
•
Poverty or debt.
Bereavement (losing someone close to you)
Severe or long-term stress.
Having a long-term physical health condition. Causes mental health problems?
Addiction
Importance of mental health
•
Poor mental health makes us more vulnerable to certain physical health problems, such as
heart disease, stroke and type two diabetes. Nurturing our mental health can also help prevent
the development of mental illnesses. Good mental health helps us have a more positive
outlook and enjoy our lives more.
My implementation
•
•
•
Post completion of my training program facilitated by Late Dr. Thekur on Mental Health,
I have been able to work on my emotions better when it comes to my family & my work.
I got a better understanding about empathy, to be patient listener while maintaining a nonjudgmental mindset. Over a time of practicing these skills I have been able connect well
with all types of individuals especially during my work(got correctional homes for
women) and understand what they have been or are going through
.
Intervention:- As I had some basic skills which I learnt during my module I implemented
it and I listened to what she had to say , I felt she had no confidence in herself and felt
guilty of what she had done. Made her feel important that her family her children need her
specially her children need her. Made her look at the positive side of life and helped her
overcome her guilt and built her confidence in herself so as to she can make a change and
difference in her life.
I realized that all she wanted was to confide in someone who would listen to her patiently,
mainly being non judgmental and biased.
Child health:Child health too much important for each and every person This module has enhanced my
knowledge and skills on health and education, which is of high priority to me and was very helpful
for me as I worked closely with a special needs child and a addicted child with drugs in the
Community. I know how important child Physical health is to be necessary.
This course was a theoretical and practical-based experience which enhanced my
understanding. My understanding increased. Taking one the assignments in class, where I
reviewed literature in order to identify the scientific evidence from literature of our topic ‘sexual
violence and addiction on drug’
The Maternal and Child Health Bureau Strategic Plan
The Maternal and Child Health Bureau strategic plan during the years of 2003-2007 developed
training for the preparation of national leadership for Maternal and Child Health field and develop
ways to improve the overall health of the maternal and child health population. How the bureau
planned to achieve that was by strengthen the Maternal and Child Health knowledge and support
scholarship within the field by proving graduate education to develop interdisciplinary public
health leaders nationwide.
Maternal and Child Deaths during Pregnancy
Growth and development of the infant. Most maternal and child deaths occur
during late pregnancy and the first year of the child’s life respectively.4 Estimation by World
Health Organization (WHO) in 2011, worldwide, approximately 3.5 million women die every year
during pregnancy and delivery; almost 1000 a day. Almost 99 % of maternal, newborn, and child
deaths occur in low and middle income countries.5 about 20% of global maternal death and 25%
of child deaths occur only in India.
Health Promotion Strategies Used By Nurses as Guidance for Assessment and Alleviation of Risk
Factor for Diseases
Health promotions are strategies used by nurses as guidance for assessment and alleviation of risk
factor for diseases (Potter et al., 2009). A maternal health nurse provides specific screening,
teaching, counseling and risk preventing tools to achieve optimal health of mother and child during
the postpartum period. Postpartum is a period of both physiological and psychological changes.
The mother’s adaptation such as, changes in parental role, family, body image, physiological
changes after childbirth
The Developmental Stage and Health Needs of the Baby
Health needs of the baby were assessed, both her weight and head circumference measurement
were at the 25th centile indication no weight loss which gave mother reassurance. This information
is vital for babies born with low birth weight such as baby a are more likely to die from Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome (Carpenter et al, 2004). Baby was also developing, thriving and feeding
well with no concerns. The health visitor also remained mother about immunization as
recommended in Healthy Child (2009).
FOOD AND NUTRITION
Importance of nutrition
•
Good nutrition is very essential for health, growth and development.
•
•
•
•
•
There is a close relationship of nutrition with infection, immunity, fertility, maternal and child
health.
Malnutrition in children is an important problem affecting about 50% of children under the age
of 5 years.
Obesity an increase problem in children and young adults
Relation of nutrition with non-communicable diseases-dualities, heart disease, hypertension
and cancer.
There is a close relation of nutrition with immunity and infection.
Nutrition is an important key to learn and understand in your life while you get older. Many
people do not know the proper diet and exercise to keep their body healthy and strong.
Throughout this module, I have learned information on different kinds of vitamins,
carbohydrates, amino acids and other helpful diets. After reading and logging my dietary
log for a week it has helped me re-organize my diet and health. I have learned about how
to personally manage my exercise and diet and I am seeing some good results because of
what I learned from this class. I started to see what I was missing in my diet and started to
know what quantity and quality was for your diet. I also took a leap into my family health
history to see what I need to change.
Health system in India/ Determinants of Health
•
A healthy community benefits every person in it. And community health is one means of
achieving a healthy community. The field of public health aims to protect and improve health
by addressing the structures and systems that define a place—and by supporting the people
who live and work there in making healthy choices.
• Inadequate access to basic healthcare services such as shortage of medical professionals, a lack
of quality assurance, insufficient health spending, and, most significantly, insufficient research
funding.
• One of the major concerns is the administrations' insufficient financial allocation.
Types of Case Studies
1. Collective case studies: These involve studying a group of individuals. ...
2. Descriptive case studies: These involve starting with a descriptive theory. ...
3. Explanatory case studies: These are often used to do causal investigations.
Determinants of health are a range of factors that influence the health status of individuals
or populations. At every stage of life, health is determined by complex interactions between social
and economic factors, the physical environment and individual behavior. They do not exist in
isolation from each other.
The Public Health Agency of Canada has identified 12 determinants of health as follows:
• Income and social status
• Social support networks
• Education and literacy
• Employment/working conditions
• Social environments
• Physical environments
• Personal health practices and coping skills
• Healthy child development
• Biology and genetics endowment
• Health services
• Gender
• Culture
Community's Health:
This is important because it invites thinking about action by the community itself. It reflects a
sense of community ownership. The community members see particular harms to children as the
community's problem and responsibility.
A healthy community benefits every person in it. And community health is one means of
achieving a healthy community. The field of public health aims to protect and improve health by
addressing the structures and systems that define a place—and by supporting the people who live
and work there in making healthy choices.
According to what I have understood Community health is a medical specialty that focuses on the
physical and mental well-being of the people in a specific geographic region.
A community’s health is a reflection of the health experiences of its members. Family health has
a critical role in improving the health of the community by empowering families to lead a healthful
life, as well as facilitating a family’s access to needed resources. The purpose of this is to discuss
the various roles of family health in my community, as well as the assets their position provides.
Women health:•
•
•
Women have a unique set of health care challenges and are at higher risk of developing certain
conditions and diseases than men. The leading causes of death for women include heart
disease, cancer, and diabetes, all of which could potentially be treated or prevented if identified
early enough
One of the most important aspects of women's health is reproductive health. Each month, your
body goes through a complete hormone cycle, so when something is off or is unbalanced, it
affects your entire life, whether you realize it or not.
To improve women's health, we need to address issues related to reproductive health, maternal
deaths, malnutrition and non-communicable diseases; through quality and affordable health
services under universal health coverage.
•
•
Increases environmental awareness in the communities where women live, work, play, and
worship to significantly affect their overall health. WHA provides environmental awareness as
it relates to health outcomes for women.
If we talk about Today's scenario, many women are still facing the issues like gender
discrimination, sexual abuse and harassment, education, child marriage, and what not? Women
are elevated to the position of goddesses in India.
Here are some of the most prevalent health concerns impacting women, and what you can do
to manage your risk:
❖ Heart disease.
❖ Breast cancer etc.
❖ Cervical Cancer
❖ Oral Cancer
❖ Overy cancer

How was a balance between work, life and the CHLP maintained?
As we started our fellowship program things were cool and calm and exciting as we were
just out of the covid -19 pandemic fears. So work was more from home. But as days, weeks and
months went by things started getting tough and hectic.
Earlier I would work 6 days a week so it was so difficult make to balanced my all task was on field
level so it’s very difficult, I felt I would not be able to manage the CHLP course but with the help
of SOCHARA team and my mentor I got the confidence and started attending the classes which
were of great interest. Yea sometimes I did miss a few of the live sessions due to work and family.
Mentorship process and reflections
My mentors name is, Mrs Nidhi shukla She is a post graduate in Master in Mass
Communication. She was working in Sochara Madhya Pradesh as a training and research assistant
from 2015 till date. Mrs Nidhi shukla been a great source of support for me as initially I hardly
connected with her to be frank it was just formality sake I had thought but from the moment I
spoke to her there was ease and comfort , and she explained well with path finder. Hence courage
me all the time and kept motivating me to say I’m the best and am doing my best.
She explained to me in details about things I didn’t understand and motivated and guided me a lot
during my fellowship and encouraged me to complete my work and not to hesitate to ask for help.
We are meet to all in Gandhi Nagar Field on the Study of Report development and during field
visit she support me every time, in the online session she encourage me to join and after session
she pint out important points during sessions. I thank to Mr Azam Khan and Mr Dheerendra Arya
who also support me while Mrs Nidhi Shukla is not available/busy in other task also thanks to all
my colleagues Mr Ganesh shahni, Mr Rahul who also Support.
I never expected to write reflections or make a project report and had given up as I felt I couldn’t
write but she pushed me and said I can do it and here I am writing my report all thanks to my
mentor Nidhi.
Karthik who has been a great support throughout this fellowship. He is always telling us about all
video lecture viewing and note down all things during the video lecture he is not spoke proper
Hindi but also communicate with MP fellows.
Janelle Fernandes sessions were interesting and I liked the way she would get out the SEPCE/SDH
in most of her explanations. She made learning easy and interesting. Janelle has an amazing way
of explaining things in a very easy manner to understand and with examples.
I would like to start off by saying I Miss Radhika, she was such a great person who took care of
us so well during the confluence. She was extremely helpful and easily accessible to make sure we
were comfortable and our requirements were taken care of. She understood us and was like one
among us and never made us feel like an outsider.
In short from teaching to being a friend philosopher and guide, facilitate learning, mutual growth
and understanding.
6. Project learning experience.
• The support of the CHLP core team and fellows helped me to overcome the hurdles and
challenges throughout the fellowship programs.
• Enabling communities and community health providers for health action.
• The project contributes to building awareness and to improve on medical and social care of
the community.
• I was initially confused as to what topic do I do my project on. I had more than 1 topic on
mind and didn’t know which one to choose. I was highly confused and didn’t know if I was
picking the right one.
• Nidhi ji my mentor guide me in finalizing the topic of my project and I am glad I choose
to do a topic that’s really close to me and something I was working on for a very long time,
finally I got to implement it.
I named my project”Assessment on the effect of addiction on adolescent and Youth.
• There were many health issues, mental health, physical health, their right for which
awareness and knowledge was given and explained how to overcome it and stay healthy.

• CHLP has given me a different approach to look at things, the way this program was
designed and executed was amazing. Each module was an exception by itself, we had
qualified experienced facilitators who were extremely compatible and made learning so
interesting and easy that our sessions always went over time.
• We had a great team of co-learners and fellows who bonded really well and helped each
other in whatever way they could. Each person I interacted with was outstanding and an
example by them, each one out here is so talented and experienced; it was amazing to know
about them and the work done by them. Sometimes listening
• CHLP- SOCHARA has taught me to learn values, knowledge, attitudes and skills that are
required for community based public health actions requires an alternative teaching learning
methodology{PEDAGOGY}. It calls for great experimental and group/ community based
learning self-directed learning and learning through study-reflection-action cycles.
▪ My focus has always been to provide sustainable relief and holistic development for
communities with an aim to empower them, so they can break the vicious cycle of poverty
and become contributing members of the society and nation at large

healthcare services and patient outcomes in targeted populations.
▪ Will definitely stay in touch with SOCHARA and look for guidance from them at every
step , last but not the least would like to thank each and every one out here a few I have

PART-B
Assessment on the effect of addiction on adolescent and Youth.
Community-Pardi and Gond
Slum area- Gandhi nagar, Rajeev nagar and Ehsaan nagar
Background: Many factors contribute to the onset of addiction. We can see that most of
the children learn to do drugs from home or family environment and this is one of the main reasons
for children to get involved in drug addiction. The maximum consumption of tobacco and ghutka
has been found in the settlements of Bhopal city of Madhya Pradesh state. Through this study, we
are finding out how young children fall into drug addiction and what types of drugs children know
about and this problem has come out through the children's groups of the slums.
Introduction: Young children in India are constantly falling into drug addiction, which negatively
affects their education and health. In this study, which drugs are consumed by the children, in some
settlements and which types of drugs and under what circumstances they are used. Survey has been
done on this. How this type of intoxication affects the mental health of the children. In this survey,
75 children were involved in drug abuse, whose age was 7-18 years and along with this, the issue
of drugs has also been discussed with the community.
Objectives of the study:
● Making children aware of drug addiction.
● Keeping children away from the drug environment.
● Identifying and rehabilitating drug-addicted children.
Methodology: In this research, in 3 communities (Gandhi Nagar, Rajeev Nagar, Ehsan Nagar)
children from the Drug addiction survey has been included.
In this research, we have collected quantitative data and have included various tools to design
this research, such as focus group discussion with small to adult women of the community. We
have taken the primary data through the survey of drug addict children, the questionnaire was
included for this research. For secondary data, we interacted with people from some
communities about drug abuse.
The main objective of the research is how children get addicted to drugs and what are the negative
effects or effects on the health of children.
Tools and techniques
● questionnaire
● Community focus group discussion
Question paper - The survey of this research has been done by the survey team on the basis of
questionnaire, the questionnaire has been prepared by the children.
This questionnaire gives the details of the current situation of children taking drugs.
What types of drugs do children know about and what types of drugs do children consume?
From where the children have got the habit of consuming or intoxicating or under what
circumstances they become addicted to drugs.
In what way do children get affected after getting intoxicated?
Know why we get intoxicated and from where we learn Drug addiction is a matter of great concern in which small children are constantly falling prey to
it. Children mostly start drug addiction through friends, family members, work place. Many times,
due to the economic condition or mental condition of the children, intoxication starts. Sometimes,
looking at the surrounding environment, the child gets curious as to what will happen if he gets
intoxicated, and in this way the children get trapped in the clutches of drugs.
In Bhopal some localities like Ehsan Nagar, Rajeev Nagar, and Gandhi Nagar, the children
reported drug abuse in their respective localities during the survey. About one-third of the boys
and one-fourth of the girls were found to be drug addicts. During this, some startling truths came
to the fore such as some children indulge in intoxication by seeing elders or by elders, by friends,
in the environment of the locality, in a state of mental stress/isolation or when they go to work,
there is a possibility of intoxication. Got used to it. Through the survey of the children, it has been
found that most of the drug addiction is started by the family or friends of the children.

Case Study:❖ My Name is X I do not like to get intoxicated but it has become my habit that just as we
cannot live without food and water, I too cannot live without intoxicant. I drink whitener
to kill my appetite and whenever I am upset. I have learned this from my friends and when
I see them, they are so addicted to drugs that if they do not get drugs, their whole body
aches and trembles. Seeing all this, I feel scared too, that's why I have reduced my
intoxication a bit.
We are troubled even by your drunkenness
❖ I find it very difficult to study when elders in the house are intoxicated, because they shout
a lot, so I have to go to silence them and we cannot do any work.
❖ My father got oral cancer because he used to smoke ganja. We are very upset when they
are in a lot of trouble and I feel very bad.
❖ My mother collected the money and brought medicine worth Rs.2400 to get rid of father's
alcoholism, but even then my father could not give up alcohol and even now he fights and
fights every day after drinking alcohol.
❖ My father used to drink a lot, but even then my mother used to send me to school, but
when he was no more, after that I used to go for picking with my mother, then my studies
were missed for 3-4 years.
❖ I am 8 years old. I study in first class. My father drinks a lot and whenever he comes home
drunk, he fights and even hits my mother. I feel very bad. I cry a lot when I am alone
thinking about it. Sometimes I get angry, that I should beat my father. I am getting scared
of my father. At home, I don't feel like studying at all, I feel like going to live with my
maternal grandparents, but what will happen to my mother?
What are the disadvantages of intoxication?
All kinds of drugs are dangerous. Some start destroying our body very quickly, some slowly, but
all kinds of intoxicants are a danger to our body.
Whitener, Thinner, Sulochan - Smelling this has a direct effect on the nerves of the children's brain.
Memory goes away for a while, and something is not understood
Sometimes children can also go into coma due to this. At a young age, drinking these has a
profound effect on the organs of the body like esophagus, stomach, liver etc.
Tobacco - is consumed in many ways, such as tobacco, ganja, opium, gutkha, cigarette, hookah,
beedi are also types of tobacco. By using all these, there is a risk of serious diseases like throat and
lung cancer, heart attack, diabetes.
Consuming intoxicants like liquor, raw liquor, mahua, country liquor etc. can also cause liver
damage or fatty liver and vomiting of blood. Also, many parts of the body can be affected
simultaneously. Consuming it can cause more than 200 physical diseases.
After getting intoxicated, the mental condition of children and adults deteriorates (depression) and
along with this, their physical and economic condition also gets affected.
When intoxicated, a person takes more risks, due to which sometimes a bone breaks and a person
also commits suicide. Do you know that every year 100,000 people die due to drunk driving in our
country.
How to quit intoxicated
⮚ If you see any child taking drugs, then take that child home or inform immediately on the
helpline - 1098.
⮚ Talk to the child for the drug de-addiction center, so that he is ready to give up drugs.
⮚ For 14 – 21 days, if we give up or stay away from drugs in any way, it becomes a habit and
by doing it continuously, addiction can be avoided~
⮚ Children in all schools should be made aware by talking to them on drugs and narcotics.
If you try to quit, something like this will happen –
⮚ To get rid of intoxication, instead of intoxication, we can eat or drink something else like
fennel, cardamom, toffee, tea, milk and coffee etc.
If you try to quit, something like this will happen –
❖ Some days potty is not quick,
❖ don't feel hungry
❖ head hurts
❖ feels like vomiting
If you have been taking too much intoxication for many years, then this also
happens –
❖ shivers
❖ may have diarrhea
❖ Some people see strange things, they start thinking what is not happening.
But it can be cured by everything. With courage, with love and sometimes with the help of
medicine.
