Module Assignment: UNDERSTANDING THE CONTEXT OF THE PROBLEM
There are no background materials for this module. Instead, students must undertake their own literature searches to identify scholarly materials relevant to their integrative projects (see Case and SLP assignments for details).
Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
• Case
o Apply a global ecological model/framework to the understanding of the health problem addressed by the student's integrative project.
o Apply the scholarly literature to the understanding of contextual factors influencing the health problem addressed by the student's integrative project.
• SLP
o Continue constructing an annotated bibliography in APA format.
• Discussion
o Discuss how the scholarly literature has broadened the student's understanding of the contextual factors relevant to the health problem addressed by his or her integrative project.
Module Overview
In this module, students will examine and reflect upon the sociocultural, geopolitical, and environmental contexts that contribute to the problem each has chosen to study/address. The specific deliverable for this module's case assignment will be an essay that lays the foundation for the report, plan, etc., to be outlined, drafted, and finalized in forthcoming modules.
Module Case: NDERSTANDING THE CON- UNDERSTANDING THE CONTEXT OF THE PROBLEM
Assignment Overview
Having selected the environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health problem you wish to examine for your integrative project, and having received approval to pursue this problem as your topic, you will now consider this problem within its broader context. The conceptual model that follows should be used as a guide in identifying the determinants or factors that contribute to the observed problem.
Hint: When reviewing this model, begin at the individual level rather than the local, regional, or global levels, and work outward to identify relevant contextual factors.
Access a copy of the report that presents and explains this model in detail. Refer in particular to Section 1.2 (pp. 18-19) of this document.

Case Assignment
From this model, identify and discuss four contextual factors including cultural differences relevant to your problem, and note how each either diminishes or exacerbates the problem you are seeking to address. Your overall response should be 4-5 double-spaced pages, excluding references. Your analysis of the impact of each factor should be supported with evidence from the scholarly literature (at least one peer-reviewed source per factor) and properly cited both within the body of your paper and the reference list appearing at the end.
Upload the resultant paper to the Case 2 Dropbox by the conclusion of this module.
