Week 7 Overview: It is clear that human aggression creates serious health issues with long-lasting effects. The needs of those impacted by conflict are often served by humanitarian non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Increasingly, NGO medical operations are themselves the target of violence. This module examines the clear and present danger of noncooperation and social upheavals. Cultural and societal structure and norms have a direct impact on public health issue resolution. For example, gender, age plays a significant role in a person's health, particularly among the very young and the very old. In low-income countries, children under 5 years old are more likely to die from preventable deaths than their counterparts in more resourced countries. Children who have lost one or both parents face particular challenges. As the proportion of people over age 60 increases all over the world, important questions of eldercare come into sharp focus. Being able to develop policies and partnerships that compensate or close gaps of societal and cultural perception in that or another situation could make the difference in the project's success.

Course Objective for Assignment:

Locate the U.S. National Library of Medicine ’s MedlinePlus webpage- explore it and try to find Older Americans 2020: Key Indicators of Well Being on your own. Use Older Americans 2020: Key Indicators of Well-Being . Download Health Risks and Behaviors Exl. Find table 26 (obesity) and 27 a and b (tobacco). Pick one for your research. If you would like to work on some other dataset, discuss it with the faculty for the approval before working on the assignment.
Assess the presented data. Write an op-ed journal article (see "Supplemental" section) addressing the following issues:
1. Discuss the specific public health issue you chose. Make sure to have a short summary and do not go into clinical details of specific issues. Your discussion needs to be centered around social policies promoting the issue, the country/state expenditure directed to prevent, treat, and address the individual but, more importantly, the public consequences of the matter. Remember about epidemiological indicators, workforce and business losses, informal caregiving, and social consequences for the families and state.
2. Evaluate the stakeholders interested in addressing this public health issue. Remember to discuss the governance bodies as well as community partners. Define specific role in public health efforts directed toward this matter (epi markers and expenditure) reduction.
3. Assess the collaborative efforts among the stakeholders and identify gaps (or excellence) in the partnerships/collaborative efforts between the stakeholders. Make sure to offer supportive evidence to demonstrate either.
4. Assess the status of the existing social policies directed to minimize the damage to the individual and community as well as offer 1-2 new (different) social policies to be introduced and directed to minimize the negative behaviors and public health outcomes. Make sure to provide evidence supporting your ideas.
5. Define the communication and leadership tools and strategies useful in convincing the public and the Governance bodies in considering the policies you recommended. Explain why you recommended these tools and who your audience is for each.
Try not to exceed 10-12 pages plus the title and reference pages. All evidence must be cited and referenced in APA 7th Edition.
