    There are several independent governmental organizations that monitor public health around the world including the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Each of these organizations maintains a Web site that publishes assessments of the most urgent public health problems.

    In this assignment, you will summarize information on a public health issue of your choice.

    1. Access the Web site of one of the following organizations, and identify a major public health issue (global or regional) that, in your opinion, is a priority issue that needs to be addressed.
      • CDC—United States
      • WHO—United Nations
      • Department of Health—United Kingdom
      • Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing
      • Department of Health—South Africa
      • Department of Health—Ireland
      • Ministry of Health—China
      • National Institute of Public Health—Mexico
      • Ministry of Health—Belize
      • Ministry of Health and Family Welfare—India
    2. Based on the information available on the Web site you reviewed, create a presentation focusing on a public health issue of your choice. In your presentation, do the following:
      • Describe the technical details about your public health issue.
        • What is the mechanism through which public health is affected?
        • How long has this been a problem?
        • Is this problem caused by humans or is it naturally occurring?
      • Identify whether the environment affects this issue. If yes, how?
      • Identify the population affected.
        • List the geographical areas affected by this problem today and those areas affected by this issue in the past.
        • If other countries have attempted to control or mitigate this issue, what strategies and methods did they employ? Were they successful in their attempts?
      • Describe how experts are addressing this issue. Consider, for example, the following questions as they potentially relate to your selected topic:
        • Are there any new vaccines available that can help?
        • Will clean water solve this issue? If so, what systems or infrastructure are necessary to ensure clean water for this region?
        • How are public health officials monitoring the progression of this issue?

    Be sure that your presentation addresses all of the above points. In addition, make note of the following:

    • Use APA formatting for your presentation and use college-level writing skills.
    • Organize your presentation, check your grammar, ensure your information flows logically, and check that your final product demonstrates unity and coherence.
    • Support your statements with scholarly references.
    • Prepare one slide, at the end of your presentation, as a reference slide.
    • Use the speaker notes function to include remarks for each slide as though you were actually giving this presentation to an audience.

    Develop a 10-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format, excluding the introduction and reference slides. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
