Acceptable journals include Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, American Journal of Sociology, The Sociological Review, Journal of Public Health, Health Education Research, American Journal of Public Health, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, or other similar journals. The study should have been performed within the past 10 years.
- Identify the decade you chose and the health issues
- Provide a brief summary of the article
- Compare and contrast the health issue of the decade with the same issue today. How has the health issue evolved? Include individual, environmental, medical, and societal influences on that health issue.
