CHILDHOOD DEPRESSION
兒童抑鬱病
4-8 percent of American children experience bouts of major depression. For teenage girls, the rate is as high as 16 percent. Early treatment makes a big difference for these children, interrupting potential patterns of repeated depression later in life, improving school performance and socialisation, and preventing substance abuse and suicide. This program will look at depression among children, with special attention to what the children themselves say about coping with this disease. It includes interviews with David G. Fassler, MD, a child psychiatrist and author of Help Me, I'm Sad, and Steven Atkins, Psy. D., a psychologist at Dartmouth Medical School.

HEPATITIS C
丙型肝炎
Approximately 4 million Americans are infected with the hepatitis C virus, making it the most common, chronic blood-born disease in this country. A person who’s infected with Hepatitis C can live for years without symptoms and without knowing they have it, but long before symptoms occur, this disease begins to destroy the liver, and can lead to severe illness death. Hepatitis C ranks as the second-leading cause of liver disease and is the leading reason for liver transplants in the United States. Patients interviewed include a Viet Nam War veteran who has had two liver transplants, another veteran who has become an advocate for hepatitis C support, and a woman who talks about her youthful experimentation with drugs as a warning to others.

人類生物學與健康
These innovative learning materials take a developmental and holistic approach to human biology, providing a sociological and psychological perspective of issues of health and human biology. The human lifespan is used to explain how the body grows, develops and matures into a healthy individual, and the materials also consider the impact on human beings of social, cultural and environmental issues.
Students using these materials will be able to:

in response to internal and external influences;

of health at all ages;
- Recognize how the biology and health of individuals are
dependent on other organisms and the environment.

PROSTATE CANCER
前列腺癌
Prostate cancer is second to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer death for men. This program discusses the importance of men being involved in the testing and treatment decisions, first in deciding whether or not to have a routine blood test for prostate cancer—called a PSA test-- and later, what to do if that test is positive. This decision making follows all the way through to treatment choices: surgery, external beam radiation, or a newer treatment called brachytherapy where tiny radioactive metal seeds are implanted in the prostate. Two men who have had prostate cancer surgery are interviewed, along with a man who has been diagnosed with the cancer but has decided to wait and see if it progresses before considering treatment.

SICKLE CELL DISEASE
鐮狀細胞病
Sickle cell disease affects people of African, Asian and Mediterranean descent. It is a genetic disease that causes a defect in red blood cells. Normally round, the blood cells take on a sickle-like shape. This slows down and even blocks circulation, causing intense pain, possible stroke, and even death. Sickle cell patients make frequent visits to hospital emergency rooms because attacks of pain can be so sudden and severe. Recent innovations are enabling more effective management of symptoms, and research may be pointing the way toward an ultimate cure. This program features sickle cell clinics in Atlanta and Seattle and includes interviews with two teenagers and an adult who live with the disease.
