    MODULE 7 Informative and Persuasive Paper

    Overview

    The final project for NRSES 3700J is a paper of about 1500 words (approximately six [6] pages). The paper is due in the last module of the course (Module 7). The paper has two purposes:

    1. The first purpose is to inform the audience about a health issue that exists in the country/community selected in Module 1 and reaffirmed in Module 3.

    2. The second purpose is to persuade the audience that a specified intervention (or interventions) would address the health issue in a positive way.

    Instructions

    1. The paper is to be approximately six (6) pages in length excluding the title page and the references cited page.

    2. The chosen health issue is to be compared to a similar issue in the United States (US). Use the following questions/topics to focus the paper.

    2.1 Discuss the health issue in the selected country/community.

    • What is it? • Who is impacted? • Why is the chosen health issue important? • What are the consequences of not addressing the health issue? • Identify the two (2) or three (3) social determinants of health that have the

    most impact on the chosen health issue. Explain the influence.

    2.2 Is the same health issue present in the US?

    • Who does the health issue impact in the US? • Compare the size of the health issue in the US with that in the selected

    country/community. • What is similar about the health issue in the two countries? • What is different about the health issue in the two countries? • Identify the two (2) or three (3) social determinants of health that have an

    impact on the chosen health issue in the US. Explain the influence of each.

    • If the health issue does not exist in the US, explain the reasons for this being so.

    2.3 Identify an intervention (or interventions) that could address the identified health issue. There is no specified number of interventions required, but if education is chosen as an intervention it cannot be the only intervention.

    • In what ways, if any, would the proposed interventions differ between the selected country/community and the US?

    • If the intervention in the two countries would not differ, explain why they would not.

    Module 7 Final Paper, continued

    • Identify the connection between the social determinants of health, the health issue, and the intervention(s).

    • Persuade the audience that the identified intervention(s) would be useful in addressing the chosen health issue. Again, education cannot be the only intervention, but it can be used in combination with other interventions.
