Global Health
For this assignment, you will conduct a web-search on a current global health issue that interests you. Technically, you will conduct two different web-searches before framing your discussion post that summarizes the global health issue and evaluates the data presented.
Two required web-searches:
Find a recent news article story or video (no more than 1 year old) about a developing/ low to middle -income country on a health issue (disease, illness, medical problem) that interests you and is also relevant to global health.
Find a reliable source that you can cite in your analysis of the news article. We recommend the WHO country data report: http://www.who.int/countries/en/ or a peer-reviewed article. However, if you find another web source this is ‘ok’ providing you can properly cite the website. For information on how to evaluate a website source, please review the materials in the tutorials in the “What is a scholarly source?” under the Resource Guides from the main course menu.
For your post, summarize the new article by providing the following:
Describe the health issue/disease.
Describe the country or countries that are most affected.
Describe the primary risk factors for the health issue/disease.
Describe the steps are currently being taken to prevent the health issue/disease or limit risk factors.
Describe why this is a global health issue/disease.
