    New Training for Community Health Workers

    Tulane University New Training for Community Health Workers January 28, 2011 3:30 AM Keith Brannon [email protected] When it comes to staying healthy, sometimes check-ins are as important as checkups. That's the philosophy behind a new Tulane University School of Medicine program that aims to train community health workers to provide health education and act as liaisons between patients and their doctors or social services providers. Outreach to New Orleans patients such as George McClain, left, receiving diabetes treatment at a Tulane mobile clinic, will be increased by the training of community health workers. (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) These advocates check in with patients to make sure they're following doctors' orders and properly taking their medications, for example, and can even help them access social services to address any barriers to keeping themselves healthy. Using a $250,000 federal grant, Tulane is partnering with RAND Corp. to start the Tulane RAND Community Health Worker Training Institute. It will offer residents who have at least a high school diploma a formal, 120-hour training course in health outreach, patient care coordination and health advocacy. A pilot class begins Feb. 1, says Ashley Wennerstrom, senior program manager for the Tulane Office of Community Affairs and Health Policy. “Trained community health workers are important, and often underutilized, members of healthcare teams. They provide education, link hard-to-reach populations with health and social services, and advocate for individual and community health needs,” Wennerstrom says. “The institute fills a vital Tulane University | New Orleans | 504-865-5210 | [email protected] Tulane University niche in our region by supporting critical workforce development for community health workers while increasing knowledge and research about how they can contain healthcare costs, improve public health and increase post-disaster community resilience.” The grant was funded by legislation sponsored by U.S.

Mark Masselli: Margaret, I should not have been surprised that the day after our show with Jennie Chin Hansen President of AARP I received another AARP invitation to join up. They really want me to join. Do you think it was the interview? Margaret Flinter: No, I think you really qualify for membership and I am hoping you will take them up on it but seriously AARP doesn’t miss to be. The bigger news was the next day they came out in support of President Obama’s healthcare reform initiative. Mark Masselli: But remember the order from their lips to our listeners’ ears then to the president. By the way Margaret, when are we going to have the president in our show? Margaret Flinter: Not to worry, I will be sure and let you know and I am working on it. Mark Masselli: Speaking of guests who have had their president’s year, today we are going to hear from Congressman Joseph Cao who spent a lot of time this weekend talking with their president as he was the lone republican who voted for the afordable healthcare for America Act. Margaret Flinter: It was a memorable moment on Saturday night watching on C-SPAN when that one lone republican I-vote went up on the score cards. It was really a courageous act by the congressman and he is an amazing individual and we are looking to learning more about him today.
  • A Growing Diversity

    A Growing Diversity

    A Growing Diversity 1993–2017 In late April 1975, eight-year-old Anh (Joseph) Cao’s long and improbable odyssey to the halls of Congress began as North Vietnamese communists seized the southern capital city of Saigon.1 The trajectory of the soft-spoken, bookish Cao toward Capitol Hill stands out as one of the most remarkable in the modern era, even as it neatly encapsulated post-1965 Asian immigration patterns to the United States. Still, the origins of Cao’s story were commonplace. For three decades, conflict and civil war enveloped his country. After the Vietnamese threw off the yoke of French colonialism following World War II, a doomed peace accord in 1954 removed the French military and partitioned Vietnam. The new government in South Vietnam aligned with Western world powers, while North Vietnam allied with communist states. Amid the Cold War, the U.S. backed successive Saigon regimes against communist insurgents before directly intervening in 1965. A massive ground and air war dragged on inconclusively for nearly a decade. More than 58,000 American troops were killed, and more than three million South and North Vietnamese perished.2 Public opposition in the United States eventually forced an end to the intervention. America’s decision to withdraw from Vietnam shattered Joseph Cao’s family just as it did many thousands of others as communist forces soon swamped the ineffectual government and military in the South. In 2011 Japanese-American veterans received the Congressional Gold Medal for their valor during World War II. The medal included the motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, “Go for Broke.” Nisei Soldiers of World War II Congressional Gold Medal Obverse © 2011 United States Mint 42940_08-APA-CE3.indd 436 2/13/2018 12:04:16 PM 42940_08-APA-CE3.indd 437 2/13/2018 12:04:17 PM Just days before Saigon fell, Cao’s mother, Khang Thi Tran, spirited one of her daughters and two sons, including Anh, to a U.S.

Federal Election Commission, Defendant Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief Anh “Joseph” Cao, Republican National Committee (“RNC”), and Republican Party of Lou- isiana (“RPL”) complain as follows: INTRODUCTION 1. This case is a successor to Colorado Republican Federal Campaign Committee v. FEC, 518 U.S. 604 (1996) (“Colorado I”), and FEC v. Colorado Republican Federal Campaign Com- mittee, 533 U.S. 431 (2001) (“Colorado II”), and deals, inter alia, with the “unresolved” question of “the constitutionality of the Party Expenditure Provision [limits, 2 U.S.C. § 441a(d)(3),] as applied to” “coordinated expenditures . that would not be functionally identical to direct contri- butions.” Colorado II, 533 U.S. at 468 n.2 (Thomas, J., joined by Rehnquist, C.J., and Scalia and 1 Kennedy, JJ.). 2.

The case was “remanded for consideration of the party’s claim that all limits on expendi- tures by a political party in connection with congressional campaigns are facially unconstitutional and thus unenforceable even as to spending coordinated with a candidate,” and Colorado II “reject[ed] that facial challenge to the limits on parties’ coordinated expenditures.” Id. 4.

    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President

    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.
