HCS 330 Week 5 Final Adopt a Disease PowerPoint Presentation

Using the disease ‘adopted’ for the week 3 paper, the learning team ‘act’ as Directors of a major national public health group (FDA, DHHS, CDC, etc) and develop a new approach to increase public awareness in a selected community regarding your disease. The community may include current places of employment, health care service area, hospital, nursing home, church, school, etc. When selecting a disease, decide which public health problem is most pressing for this particular community.

Once the disease, agency, and population is selected, include:

• Information about the disease (history, causes, treatment options if any, etc)
• Possible solutions for reducing the disease in a selected community
• Data regarding the number of people affected by the disease
• Economic impact on the community

Resources such as Internet sites, books, articles or other related materials to increase the community’s awareness The final product for this presentation is a PowerPoint presentation with 12-15 slides and detailed speaker notes. Utilize a minimum of two research sources, with one from UOP Library and the other from resource to support your claims.
