+1 862 207 3288 For this assignment, select a health issue with global implications—for example, infectious disease,
AIDS or HIV, environmental health (sanitation, clean water), reproductive health, mental health,
chronic disease, refugee health, bioterrorism, epidemic and pandemic infections (SARS, Ebola), and
health consequences of natural disasters. Several examples are available in the 2010 World Health
Organization document Equity, Social Determinants, and Public Health Programmes, which is linked in the
Resources.
Describe the health issue by addressing the following:
• How pervasive is the problem? What is the scope of the problem? What nations or people are
impacted? Which countries are disproportionately affected? What inequities exist across countries?
Epidemiologic data will help address these questions.
• How do the problems and its solutions affect the United States?
• What are the social determinants that impact this problem? It will be necessary to explore
social, economic, political, and environmental concerns to answer this question.
• What strategies have already been tried to address this health issue? How effective have the
strategies been? What could have been done better? Where are the gaps in addressing the problem?
