Assignment problem: As an individual, conduct research about your own community, or a culture of your choice, and make a short PowerPoint to share your findings with your group.
To select your community/cultural group, go to the Healthy People website and search for a cultural group or population. Browse objectives by topic. Once you have identified the community you will research, select a health-related goal that will be the focus of a community health intervention.
Example: Goal: Improve cardiovascular health and reduce deaths from heart disease and stroke.
NOTE: You may not select Heart Disease and Stroke for your project.
After you have selected a goal, conduct additional research to help you formulate strategies for managing the goal-related health issue within the selected community/culture. Make an 8-10-slide PowerPoint presentation to present your findings to the group. Include speaker notes for each slide and a final slide for your reference
