PART 1—Post a response in which you:
- Consider epidemiologic transition and research how it applies to the world today.
- Describe two challenges to public health systems and professionals when addressing communicable, epidemic-level diseases as well as chronic health issues.
- Explain how these two challenges could be addressed moving forward.
- Explain the theory of epidemiological transition in relation to two public health problems, with scholarly references.
PART 2—( FOOD) The presentation should be for public health professionals in a professional context. A single slide may not contain more than 50 words, so that it can be read at a glance. Remember, this is not an essay, but a brief presentation, which is typical at a professional conference. Your ten slides should include the following:
- Title slide
- Analysis of the relationship among water (or food) and global health problems.
- Explanation of a specific global health problem related to water (or food).
- Explanation of three determinants of the chosen problem.
- Analysis of how the above determinants may be impacted by climate change.
- Explanation of what is or could be done to resolve the problem.
Support your presentation with evidence citing scholarly literature:
- Reference slide: Five or more peer reviewed articles, less than 5 years old.
PART3—3–4 pages (excluding title page and references)
- Explain the role of health equity in the global distribution of a chosen disease.
- Explain the importance of cultural humility and inclusion in public health research and planning.
- Explain community-based participatory research and how it fosters the inclusion of local populations.
- In your chosen public health topic, explain how progress has been made toward greater cultural humility and health equity in research or program planning.
- Explain the role the community had in improving the cultural humility and health equity in your chosen topic.
- Propose at least two strategies to promote inclusion and equity within a public health program and systems used in the region you selected.
- See resources for specific examples of strategies.
- Using the example of map-making or another similar scientific example, explain the role of cultural bias in global health research.
- Review the Šavrič et al. (2019) article in the Learning Resources for more information on the map-making example.
