Written Pathways

Part#2 Choose at least one health condition (and its population indicators) that is impacted through the pathway. Define the health condition, and how it is measured at the population level using epidemiologic or other numeric indicators (rates per xx population; proportions; incidence and prevalence, ratios) and define the indicators you will use. Discuss the assumptions needed to use the indicators. This is part of critical thinking, learning to critique the measures that you are using. Explain the source of the data, and whether it is valid and how you know that. We are accepting a broad definition of ìHealth conditionî, for example, diseases, health care delivery system markers, access issues, pharmaceuticals, the context that creates vulnerability to non-optimal health status, unhealthy behaviors. You need quantitative evidence as part of your health status impact. Explain why you chose this health condition for this pathway. (1 – 2 pages)

Organization and Format of the Paper

The numbers of pages per part are suggestions, but the paper should be about 6-10 pages excluding references. There should be at least 10 references, mainly from professional peer-reviewed journals. Limit references to websites to less than 1/4 of all references, and include the name and date of the web site you accessed.

Pages must be 1.5 spaced with paragraphs indented but no lines skipped between paragraphs.

The final copy of your paper will be accompanied by your ìTurn It Inî report (an app on Canvas) detailing the percentage of your paper that copies other peopleís work. Instructions will be given to you about how to use this program. You will have the ability to submit your paper to ìTurn It Inî as part of your own drafting and revising process. The instructor needs to see the report of your final complete version, the one you submit for grading.

Put your name in the document not just in the file name, that way you are showing me that you take responsibility for your work.

Put the date of submission in the document.

Put your last name (family name) in the filename of the document you submit, preferably something like Lastname-part1, Lastname-part 2, etc.

Please use section headings that clearly indicate the 4 parts of your paper.

Include page numbers in the document.

Submit each part electronically to Canvas at the place set up by the TA to receive them.

Provide a professionally prepared list of references for your paper.

Referencing Guidelines for Global Health Overview Pathways Paper

Scientific reports often assume that ìthe scientist knows nothingî and must reference each fact as it appears in the paper. Other scientists want to know where you got your information, so they can check it for authenticity and see if they accept the facts you present.

The following example shows unclear and incomplete referencing for stated facts: ìRecent rates of breastfeeding (ever) are 73.9% in the United States and 90.3% in Canada, compared to 97.1% in Kenya and 98.5% in Peru (data from the CDC and WHO).î Which reference belongs to which rate? Each fact/number needs its own reference: for example, ì73.9% in the United States (reference A) and 90.3% in Canada (reference B)î.

Accurate information means referencing where the facts you use came from. Statements like ìStudies showÖî or ì1 billion people in the world are undernourishedî need references.

If a whole paragraph of information is derived from the same source, please put the reference at the start of the paragraph with a sentence like: ìThe following information comes from Jones et al. (2015).î The style of having the reference for an entire paragraph of data at the end is not acceptable. If information comes from different sources in the paragraph, then put each reference in place for each piece of information.

Anything obtained from a web site needs the accessed Internet address and the date when the accessing occurred, not just the date of the source document.

Writing Style

Avoid journalistic (subjective) writing using words like ìtremendousî, ìhorribleî, ìlargeî, ìmanyî, and provide data instead with comparisons to show how big a difference there is between some standard reference (or what is considered ìoptimalî) and the ìnon-normativeî. For example, ìexclusive breastfeeding rates for the first 6 months of life are 4 times higher in Peru than in the USA (reference C).î For a scientific paper ñ you need references for subjective thoughts, and if you are quoting, then use quotation marks, or use data to make the case along with proper citation for the data.

For scientific writing we are advocating that students use a style where the ìpointî or ìbottom lineî is the first sentence in the paragraph, and the sentences in the rest of the paragraph provide information in support of the assertion. I want to read the main point, and then fact, fact, fact, in support of that pointÖeach with its own reference at the point of stating the facts (if they each come from a different source). Hereís a good example: ìTypically the problem of domestic violence is more pronounced for women, but it is a problem for both men and women. According to the CDC, about 24.3% of women and 13.8% of men ìhave experienced severe physical violence by an intimate partnerÖat some point in their lifetimeî (ìDomestic and Intimate Partner Violenceî, 2013). Furthermore, ì9.4% of women have been raped by an intimate partnerî and about twice as many women (16.9%) than men (8.0%) have experienced some other form of sexual violence (ìDomestic and Intimate Partner Violenceî, 2013). Finally, one third of ìfemale homicide victims [are] murdered by their current or former partner (ìDomestic Violence: Statistics & Factsî, 2015).î
