Please choose ONE of the questions below and write a post that thoroughly addresses the question in 2-3 paragraphs, using at least one scholarly reference.

Questions:

  1. One possible estimate is that the world’s population will be over 10 billion people by the year 2100. How might the lives of children born today be different if this is true? What advancements do you think would have to be made in education, medicine, public health and/or the food and water supply in order to support a global community of this size? (Please do not respond saying we will just need more. Think about how this can be accomplished).
  2. Communicable diseases are very accomplished at crossing the borders of countries. Discuss the challenges of global communicable disease control and summarize a recent outbreak of disease that occurred in at least two countries. What do you believe were risk factors for this outbreak? What could have been done differently to prevent the outbreak?
  3. Health disparities can be seen when comparing the health outcomes of different countries. Give an example of two countries– where one country has a health disparity in comparison to the other. Identify the disparity and summarize it’s impact AND an existing or potential global health program that might be successful in eliminating the health disparity.

Your post should be 2-3 paragraphs long, following the requirements outlined in the discussion rubric under course materials.

Assessment Instructions

PREPARATION

Suppose you have been asked to submit an article for publication in your organization’s newsletter, about a global health topic and how policies and practices at the local level can affect global health. Choose one global health topic from the list (or use another of your choice):

  • Mental health.
  • Communicable diseases (HIV/AIDS, influenza, malaria, tuberculosis).
  • Non-communicable diseases (cancer, lung, and heart disease).
  • Maternal and child health (prenatal care, midwife education, childhood vaccinations).
  • LGBT health.
  • Disabilities.
  • Global water supply and safety (GlobalHealth.gov, n.d.).

Look in the Capella library and on the Internet for very recent peer-reviewed articles, statistics, and professional nursing information on the global health topic you selected.

REQUIREMENTS

For this assessment, develop an APA-formatted research review article that covers one global health topic of your choice. In this assessment:

  • Identify your topic. Provide background information and statistics on the topic, including the global areas most affected by the topic and the types of health care issues most often associated with the topic.
  • Describe the factors that impact health and health care delivery in the global areas most affected by the topic you selected. These factors may include not only culture and tradition, but also politics, economics, and social attitude.
  • Explain the influence of altruistic organizations (Peace Corps, Project Hope, religious and non-religious missions, and so on) on health and health care practices in the global area specifically associated with the topic.
  • Describe the interventions implemented to address the health care issues associated with the topic. Include both conventional and unconventional interventions.
  • Explain how the health care decisions and practices at the local level (the area most impacted by the topic) relate to health and health care delivery in other global areas. This is not limited only to best practices, but could include poor health care decisions and practices.
  • Identify evidence-based interventions that are effective, efficient, cost-effective, and equitable for promoting wellness and disease prevention in the specific area and population.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Complete your assessment using the following specifications:

  • Title page and reference page.
  • Number of pages: 6–8 (not including the title and reference pages).
  • At least 3 current scholarly or professional resources.
  • APA format for citations and references.
