 Website That Maybe a Good Resource For Writing Your Paper

Good Evening, I want to share a website with you that is available at The Centers for Disease Control.  It is an interactive website that provides case studies, along with information (tools) that can be used to investigate an outbreak.  When investigating an outbreak, speed is essential, but getting it right is essential, as well. Have a look at the website.  There are many investigative techniques /tools that could be used in the discussion of "emerging" or "re-emerging disease". Hopefully it will provide some good ideas/direction for your paper. Remember the goal is to think about causation (The Web of Causation), and paint a broad picture of  factors/theories to support why a disease might be emerging or reemerging. *Remember, that in health care detail is of the essence. Be sure to think about your paper in terms of presenting detailed facts about how and why your identified disease is emerging, or reemerging.  It might help to think like an old news reporter: Who, Where, What, When, and Why, in detail, and supported from the text/research etc. The focus of the paper is to prove the emergence, or reemergence, of the disease.  This does not have the same writing prompt as a traditional "term" paper.  If you have questions, please ask.  I am glad to help. If you need additional help, National's librarians are very good, and know the data bases well.  Students may call for a telephone appointment to discuss how to locate the best sources. The web address is: www.cdc.gov/excite/classroom/outbreak/steps.htm The website is useful in that it can help to apply the theories that we are learning to what really happens in the field.   I hope that you find it helpful.
