Newcomer health and health care are policy issues with major outcomes of cost shifting and enormous consequences for newcomers and the community health nurses who promise them care. Newcomers are persons entering U.S. borders who could be asylees, refugees, immigrants, legal or illegal aliens, migrants, international adoptees, and others. Described in this article is the role federalism has played on the interplay among policymakers regarding newcomer health. Also addressed are newcomer health policy, including immigration policies, and newcomer health issues such as infectious diseases and questionable health care. Additional newcomer health issues, such as newcomers at high risk for health problems, issues of access to care for newcomers, and welfare reform policies, are discussed. Newcomer health and special interest group activities, such as those from medicine and nursing, are also addressed. Finally, meaningful options and possible solutions for newcomer health care concerns are identified and shared.

The diversity of the student population in colleges and universities offers extraordinary opportunities and challenges to a student health service. International students represent a large group of diverse students encompassing special characteristics and exhibiting special needs. These students come to colleges and universities with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. The health provider's constant challenge is to recognize the uniqueness of each student patient and to develop a knowledge base of cultural information, which allow successful interventions, diagnoses, and treatments. The college health practitioner will often serve as the point of entry into the US health care system for foreign-born international students. An attempt to understand the student's cultural background, assure appropriate vaccination, perform needed screening tests, and promptly diagnose illness will assist these students in reaching their full academic potential.

Several culturally specific practical considerations should inform social work interventions with ethnic Arab peoples in Arab countries or in Western nations. These include taking into account gender relations, individuals' places in their families and communities, patterns of mental health services use, and, for practice in Western nations, the client's level of acculturation. Such aspects provide the basis for specific guidelines in working with ethnic Arab mental health clients. These include an emphasis on short-term, directive treatment; communication patterns that are passive and informal; patients' understanding of external loci of control and their use of ethnospecific idioms of distress; and, where appropriate, the integration of modern and traditional healing systems.

This article addresses the synchrony between a Western middle-range theory of care for persons with dementia and traditional Korean nursing care. The Western theory is called a need-driven, dementia-compromised behavior model and is heavily influenced by the assessment categories outlined in Nightingale's work. This model is presented as congruent with Nightingale's work and then viewed from the perspective of traditional Korean nursing. Several congruencies and a few incongruencies are found between these Western and Eastern views, and suggestions are made for greater consistency between these views.
