Reply to "Federal efforts to “consider” bridging national: research, practice, policy, in Health Care"

As an addendum to my previous comment, which didn't address the addiction concerns, it may help to peruse the US CDC/Kaiser-Permanente ACE Co-Primary Researcher's subsequent paper (first published in german language in 2003 in Kinderpsychologie und Kinderpsychiatrie, and in english in 2004 in the Permanente journal), entitled: "The Origins of Addiction: Evidence from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study". I don't know if the World Health Organization addressed any aspect of it, but I have yet to find or be made aware of any refutation of Vincent Felitti, M.D.'s paper on Addiction and Adverse Childhood Experiences. I believe a Canadian physician, Gabor Mate, M.D., has presented similar concerns.

Although copies of the [forthcoming] Canadian Indigenous People's Atlas aren't expected to be available, in the US, until September 25th of this year, I got the distinct impression it also had value as a 'Resilience Building' tool for both children and adults. I was hoping to see where the former independent "Republic of Indian Stream" was located between Quebec and New Hampshire, before the Sheriff of Coos County, N.H. 'annexed' it in 1896, as part of Pittsburg, N.H.

One additional Health Care System resource may note the 'trans-generational nature of trauma model' in use in pediatrician Nadine Burke-Harris' California Bay Area clinic. She also has a you-tube TED Talk video explaining how 'toxic-stress' in childhood affects physical and 'mental' health throughout the life course.

To the extent that the Flexner Report on Medical Education (recommending the German [male-only] model of medical education) may have impacted or contributed to any particular 'health care system factor' in Canada, as well as it's use and influence on medical education and practice in the U.S., I trust that its mention may also be a valid concern.
