West Africa Ebola Outbreak Investigative Methodology Powerpoint

Prepare a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation that details the specifics of your research paper. The slides should be structured into the same format as a formal presentation (i.e. include relevant information using the Notes feature to incorporate presentation material not included on each slide). 

In the presentation:

• Provide an introductory background of the selected West Africa Ebola Outbreak.
• Describe the West Africa Ebola Outbreak. Describe the agent, the infection, the disease, or the condition.
• Describe the population at risk or affected by the agent, the infection, the disease, or the condition.
• Describe the epidemiology of the infection, such as occurrence and modes of transmission, common vehicles, and the incubation period. Use the modes of transmission and incubation period for a disease.
• Describe the occurrence, signs and symptoms, and control of the agent, the infection, the disease, or the condition.
• List the steps that might be used to investigate and address the disease or public health problem described in the selected research.
• Using the information obtained about the disease or public health problem, outline a hypothesis on the cause and effect and the source of the outbreak or event.
• Describe an epidemiologic study type to investigate the selected research topic, case study, or event. You may recommend a study approach based on the circumstances around the outbreak or event.
• Discuss how surveillance data, as well as monitoring and control measures, were, or can be, used to identify and characterize the disease or public health problem.
• Describe and analyze the outcomes and results in the selected research topic, including interpreting epidemiologic study findings, if reported in the case study.
