Epidemiology Paper Requirements

  1.

Is this a reportable disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.
  2. Describe the social determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.
  3. Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Are there any special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general population?
  4. Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collection, data analysis, and follow-up) and why demographic data are necessary to the health of the community.
  5. Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organizations contribute to resolving or reducing the impact of disease.
  6. Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area? Provide an example.

A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.

Social Determinants of Health

I’m trying to study for my Graphic Design course and I need some help to understand this question.

For this infographic assignment, build an infographic based on the information learned over the first 4 weeks of the course.

This infographic should be a visualization of the most important messages you feel the population/client population needs to know about social determinants and the role that these disparities play within the social work profession and the role of a social worker. This can include information on the different health disparities evident in the United States, the different impacts on the population, different roles a social worker plays, ethical guidelines, why the NASW, WHO and continued research is important, etc. This infographic can then be used as an educational tool.

Some examples of infographics are – a good example and a not-so-good example (colors don’t go together, hard to see and read)

You are welcome to choose one of the following tools to build your infographic. These tools are user-friendly and have plenty of user guides to get you started.

Have some fun with this assignment – the focus here is not on your graphic design abilities, but on a different approach to understanding the social determinants of health faced by your target audience.
