Mothers experiencing the death of a child have worse mental health than mothers who did not lose a child.2–4 Another type of loss parents can experience is the loss of custody of a child due to involvement with child protection services. This is often experienced as a “living death,” characterized by ambiguous loss, as parents no longer have control over how and when they can interact with their children and parents may go for long periods without being able to see their children.5 Distress experienced by mothers losing custody of their children is often overlooked, because they have failed society’s ideal of “good parenting.”6.

The section past the dotted line (indirect work sphere) covers those areas of the work environment in which a health worker is not directly involved.

The Social-Ecological Model: A Framework for Prevention

Prevention requires understanding the factors that influence violence. CDC uses a four-level social-ecological model to better understand violence and the effect of potential prevention strategies. This model considers the complex interplay between individual, relationship, community, and societal factors. It allows us to understand the range of factors that put people at risk for violence or protect them from experiencing or perpetrating violence. Core Principles of the Ecological Model.

As with a lot of health issues we face, we can use the Socio-Ecological Model to develop a practical solution to reduce the effect of STDs in society.
