Assignemnt: Masters In Public Health Paper
Length: 9 Pages.
A philanthropic foundation needs to plan its investments and grants. They have decided to fund projects for improving public and population health but are only looking to support projects that will demonstrate their goodwill and keep their name associated with topics of general concern. Of course, they hope their grantees have newsworthy success.
You are asked to contribute to the decision-making process by teaching the financial and program officers about emerging health problems that are expected to be significant within the next ten years.
• List eight emerging public health issues. For ease of organization, include each problem on a separate page and limit the draft to double-spaced text.
• For each issue, provide information about the populations (size and/or situation) that will be impacted. In your description, make sure you do the following:
o Explain the difference between raw data and information derived from it, and give examples of substantive information pertinent to this list of emerging public health issues.
o Identify the ethnographic (sociocultural) features and the epidemiological (disease risk) features of the population that may cause each issue to differentially affect this population.
• For each issue, present probable consequences to the population if intervention is not enacted.
• Create a statement of hypothesized causes of each problem so that the audience can judge the level and type of intervention the public expects. Make sure you discuss both the following factors:
o Ethnographic factors: Explain what individuals, people, governments, business, or other agencies are doing that may contribute to the problem.
o Epidemiological factors: Explain changes in environments or agents that may be contributing to the emergence of the problem.
• Provide evidence of systemic or programmatic problems. Provide examples of substantive information pertinent to the list of emerging public health issues.
