Yet, “innovation” is probably not what most people first think of when they try to describe public health services. “Old fashioned” maybe, but certainly not “innovative.” A New Paradigm At Tri-County Health Department, we like to: Think outside the box. Push the envelope. Shatter some stereotypes. Break some rules. Raise the bar. And all of the other overused clichés depicting innovation and creativity. But, in the process, we make it all seem as Easy as pie. Since we do not sell a product, our incentive for innovation is not profit-driven or based on competition to increase market share. It’s driven by one thing—finding new ways to improve the health of the population. Still, however pioneering they are, each of our innovations still follow the basic blueprint of public health: assess the major causes of death and disability, identify risk factors, find and apply effective solutions, then constantly evaluate and improve our programs even more. Milestones and Masterpieces In this annual report, we highlight the accomplishments of Tri-County Health Department along with numerous historic public health innovations—things as diverse as vaccinations, chlorine bleach, paper cups and the birth control pill.

  • The Effect of Altruistic Motivation on Motor Skills Productivity
    Running head: ALTRUISITC MOTIVATION ON MOTOR SKILLS PRODUCTIVITY “Pieces of the Puzzle”: The Effect of Altruistic Motivation on Motor Skills Productivity Emma Skiba Psychology Major Dr. Patrick Smith Thesis for Completion of the Honors Program At Florida Southern College April 25, 2019 ALTRUSITIC MOTIVATION ON MOTOR SKILLS PRODUCTIVITY 2 Abstract Altruistic motivation is the driving force behind charities, volunteerism, and random acts of kindness; it is the motivation to give a resource (eg., time, money) without the anticipation of personal gain. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively show the effect of awareness and altruistic motivation on behavior through assigning philanthropic significance to a mundane task. The participants made bracelets that were presented as either increasing awareness for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or having no external purpose. In the altruistic motivation condition, the task was given a purpose by highlighting its goal to raise funds for a charity supporting autism awareness. Participants in the altruistic motivation condition made a slightly greater number of bracelets than those in the control condition. Additionally, a survey measured the participants’ compassion toward humanity. The participants with high levels of compassion in the altruism condition completed the greatest number of bracelets. Participants in the altruistic motivation condition best performed the task of making bracelets, showing the impact of altruism on a controlled activity. This research shows that inspiring empathy and giving an external purpose to a task can increase task performance. ALTRUSITIC MOTIVATION ON MOTOR SKILLS PRODUCTIVITY 3 “Pieces of the Puzzle”: The Effect of Altruistic Motivation on Motor Skills Productivity When people often give of themselves to help others in need, it is a welcome surprise in our daily life.
