For the controversial Public Health topic that you identified in Module 1, write an essay in which you identify one specific social or behavioral determinant of that health issue. Then, relying on what you've learned from the background readings and other credible sources, identify and briefly describe one way that the issue can be addressed from a standpoint of health promotion (e.g., creating an environment conducive to health) and/or health education.

You can submit your paper in a Question and Answer format. In other words, list the questions and provide a short answer to each.
Briefly restate the controversial Public Health Topic (please write one paragraph maximum here)
What is one specific social or behavioral determinant of that health issue?
What is one way that the issue can be addressed from a standpoint of health promotion (e.g. behavior modification), and/or health education?
Describe how the issue can be addressed from a standpoint of health promotion (e.g. behavior modification), and/or health education.
