Overview:
For your final project, you will complete an epidemiological research study report based on the provided research study, "Salmonella in the Caribbean." Throughout the course, you will complete milestone assignments that are drafts of specific sections of the final project.
Because these milestone assignments are drafts of the final project, you will notice that some critical elements in the rubric are identical to those in the Final Project Rubric. In your first Milestone, you reviewed the research study and analyzed the health issue at the core of the research study.
In this second Milestone, you will summarize key elements of the research study and analyze the population impacted by the health issue. Additionally, you will complete Part F of the Health Issue section, in which you will draw connections between the population and public health issue.
Prompt: To begin, review the final project research study, "Salmonella in the Caribbean." Then, address the following critical elements in your short paper:
I. Population:
In this section of your final project, you will summarize key elements of the research study and analyze the population impacted by the health issue.
A. Summarize the people, places, and times represented in the research study to provide context for yourreport.
B. Describe three social and behavioral determinants strongly associated with the public health issue in the research study. Be sure to cite specific examples from the research study to support your description.
C. Describe three known disparities associated with the health of the specific population. Be sure to cite specific examples from the research study to support your description.
D. Explain how the identified social and behavioral determinants relate to the disparities you identified, and explain yourreasoning.
II. Health Issue:
F. Using your research and analysis, draw connections between the population and public health issue. Consider where you identified common elements, what you learned about the public health issue by studying the population, and what you learned about the population by studying the public health issue.
Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your paper should be a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document, with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one- inch margins, and APA formatting and citations.
