Fortbildung | VNR 2760602016064370005 | Hessisches Ärzteblatt 5/2016 | Die weltweit zu beobachtende Flucht von Menschen vor Krieg, Gewalt, Verfolgung und Hunger stellt auch für die medizinischen Versorgungssysteme in Deutschland eine große Herausforderung dar. Neben der Versorgung somatischer Kra...nkheiten kommt der Diagnostik und Therapie psychischer Erkrankungen eine hohe Bedeutung zu. In einer in einer bayrischen zentralen Aufnahmeeinrichtung für Flüchtlinge durchgeführten Studie wurden bei 63,6 Prozent der Flüchtlinge eine oder mehrere psychiatrische Diagnosen gestellt, wobei die Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS) mit 32,2 Prozent am häufigsten vorkam. Die Angaben zur Prävalenz der PTBS in weniger belasteten Stichproben haben eine weite Bandbreite, die durch unterschiedliche Studiendesigns und durch unterschiedliche diagnostische Kriterien in der ICD 10 und dem DSM 5 bedingt sind. In den USA findet sich in der Allgemeinbevölkerung eine hochgerechnete Lebenszeitprävalenzrate von etwa 8 Prozent. In Europa liegen die Schätzungen mit 0,5–1 Prozent deutlich niedriger. Für Deutschland werden 1-Monatsprävalenzraten von 1–3 Prozent berichtet.

This handbook presents basic content and tips for implementing a school-based risk reduction programme. It is organised into five modules: its importance; approach and process; activities to benefit children up to five years old; activities for students aged 5–17; and activities for young people a...nd volunteers aged 17–24.
A generic framework for school-based risk reduction initiatives is illustrated in a diagram on p.10. The Comprehensive School Safety framework suggests a series of continuing activities that include: identifying the hazards in and around a school; conducting drills; preparing contingency and disaster management plans by involving parents, teachers and students; and building on the capacities of an institution and individuals to cope with the challenges during an unforeseen event. It also consists of three pillars: safe learning facilities; school disaster management; and risk reduction and resilience education.

The policy brief focuses on four key areas for intervention - air pollution, energy, transport and food systems. Air pollution causes 7 million deaths annually, and is a leading cause of both NCDs and climate change, thus all interventions to reduce air pollution have a positive impact on both human... and planetary health. In the energy sector, transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is if vital importance to improving health, with mortality rates due to coal-generated electricity 1,000 times higher than for wind-generated electricity.
Promoting active transport such as walking and cycling in place of motorised transport has the dual benefit of reducing both air pollution and physical activity. Livestock production alone accounts for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, with added emissions from food which are highly process and transported over long distances, and thus locally sourced plant based diets both prevent NCDs and promote human and planetary health.
