Defiance County Community Health Status Assessment 2015 Defiance County Community Health Status Assessment 2015 Examining the Health of Defiance County FOREWORD Once again on behalf of the POWER Defiance County Coalition, I am pleased to present the FOREWO 2015 Defiance County Community Health Assessment Report. This report is the fifth community health assessment conducted by various social service, business, and government organizations in Defiance County in an effort to collect data reporting the health and health behaviors of Defiance County residents. Data was collected for this assessment with the assistance of the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio. Monitoring the health of local residents to identify community health problems is an essential public health service. This health status assessment should be used as a guide for strategic planning and decision making. It can help our communities identify new health concerns, measure the impact of current community improvement efforts, and guide the judicious use of local resources. However, this is only one planning tool. A true plan of action for community improvement will require taking a closer look at these survey results; seeking additional information from community residents, service providers, and others; identifying populations at risk for specific health conditions, and choosing effective strategies that will truly improve the health of Defiance County residents when put into action. This report would not have been possible without the help of members of the Power Defiance County Coalition as well as the groups who contributed financially. Both are acknowledged on the following pages. It is vital that assessments such as this continue so that scarce resources are used in the most advantageous ways. All contributions whether financial or expertise is greatly appreciated. RD Addressing the needs of the Defiance County community will take further collaborations and partnerships of many individuals and agencies. The work of public health is more a system than a single agency. Working together we can achieve a healthier Defiance County. Sincerely, Kimberly J.

The findings are based on self-administered surveys using a structured questionnaire. The questions were modeled after the survey instruments used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for their national and state Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) and the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) developed by the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative. The Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio collected the data, guided the health assessment process and integrated sources of primary and secondary data into the final report. Primary Data Collection Methods DESIGN This community health assessment was cross-sectional in nature and included a written survey of adults, adolescents, and parents within Defiance County. From the beginning, community leaders were actively engaged in the planning process and helped define the content, scope, and sequence of the study. Active engagement of community members throughout the planning process is regarded as an important step in completing a valid needs assessment. INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT Three survey instruments were designed and pilot tested for this study: one for adults, one for adolescents in grades 6-12, and one for parents of children ages 0-11. As a first step in the design process, health education researchers from the University of Toledo and staff members SUMMARY from the Hospital Council of NW Ohio met to discuss potential sources of valid and reliable survey items that would be appropriate for assessing the health status and health needs of adults and adolescents. The investigators decided to derive the majority of the adult survey items from the BRFSS. The majority of the survey items for the adolescent survey were derived from the YRBSS. The majority of the survey items for the parents of children 0-11 were derived from the NSCH. This decision was based on being able to compare local data with state and national data. The Project Coordinator from the Hospital Council of NW Ohio conducted a series of meetings with the planning committee from Defiance County. During these meetings, banks of potential survey questions from the BRFSS, YRBSS, and NSCH surveys were reviewed and discussed. Based on input from the Defiance County planning committee, the Project Coordinator composed drafts of surveys containing 115 items for the adult survey, 75 items for the adolescent grades 6-12 survey, and 81 items for the 0-11 survey. The drafts were reviewed and approved by health education researchers at the University of Toledo. SAMPLING | Adult Survey Adults ages 19 and over living in Defiance County were used as the sampling frame for the adult survey. Since U.S. Census Bureau age categories do not correspond exactly to this age parameter, the investigators calculated the population of those 18 years and over living in Defiance County. There were 29,434 persons ages 18 and over living in Defiance County. The investigators

    Four Sermons in Defiance of the Nazis Preached During 1941 by Bischop von Galen of Münster 2 Clemens August, Count von Galen Clemens August, Count von Galen, was born on 16th March 1878 in Burg Dinklage in Oldenburg. As the eleventh of thirteen children he grew up in the safeness of a deeply religious family. He attended the secondary school of the Jesuits in Feldkirch and obtained his leaving certificate at Vechta in 1896. After studying philosophy at Fribourg (Switzerland) for a short period, he resolved to become a priest. He was a student of theology in Innsbruck and Münster and was ordained on 18th March 1904 in Münster. After his ordination he became first a minor canon of Münster Cathedral. At the same time he was commissioned to accompany his uncle, Suffragan Bishop Maximilian Gereon, Count von Galen, on his journeys to conduct confirmations. In 1906 he became chaplain of St Matthias’ Church in Berlin. This was for him the beginning of 23 years of pastoral work in the capital of the Reich. After several years as curate of St Clement’s he was appointed parish priest of St Matthias in 1919. In Berlin he lived through the difficult times of the First World War, the troubled post-war period and a great part of the Weimar Republic. Great demands were made upon him by the diaspora situation in Berlin. In 1929 Clemens August von Galen was called back into the diocese of Münster and appointed parish priest of St Lambert’s Church in Münster. After the death of Bishop Johannes Poggenburg, Clemens August von Galen was made Bishop of Münster.

Thank you, Dr. Hagemann, for your generosity with your time and genuine interest in this thesis and its success. Thank you to Dr. Fitz Brundage for his helpful comments and willingness to be my second reader. I would also like to thank Dr. Michelle King for her valuable suggestions and support throughout this process. I am very grateful for Dr. Hagemann and Dr. King.

  • Defiance' Attempts Blend of TV Series, Video Game 13 April 2013, by Ryan Pearson
    'Defiance' attempts blend of TV series, video game 13 April 2013, by Ryan Pearson Julie Benz and Jaime Murray. The already-released game, a multiplayer third-person shooter, has plenty of guns to upgrade, quests for supplies, and boss battles in which players cooperate to bring down giant monsters. Though they can be experienced separately, somebody who both plays the game and watches the show will gain an extra layer of insight to each, promises actor Grant Bowler, who appears in both. Bowler said he was impressed and a bit wary of that idea when he signed on to play lead Joshua "Jeb" Nolan, who becomes "lawkeeper" of the city of St. Louis, renamed Defiance by survivors. This publicity image released by Syfy shows Grant "I thought 'Gee, this thing is either going to change Bowler as Jeb Nolan, left, and Stephanie Leonidas, as the business model of how we make television, and Irisa, in a scene from the series, "Defiance," premiering add a new one, or we're going to go screaming Monday, April 15, 2013 at 9 p.m. EST on Syfy. (AP down in flames,'" he said. "But either is—funnily Photo/Syfy, Ben Mark Holzberg) enough—fine with me." Earth is recovering from an apocalyptic event, alien races cooperate warily, a wise-cracking outsider suddenly finds himself shouldering new responsibilities. Yes, the world of "Defiance" features familiar sci-fi touchstones, but it's taken an ambitious approach to how you can experience them: Through both a weekly TV series and an online-only video game. Five years in the making, the joint project is the most high-profile and big-budget attempt at ongoing "transmedia" entertainment, promising characters and storylines that crisscross between This publicity image released by Syfy shows Julie Benz the Syfy network show and Trion Worlds game.
