General Instructions

Investigate population health and epidemiological data to learn about prevalent disease trends within your geographic region. Compare and contrast the prevalence of diseases in the selected region with disease rates and trends in a different geographic area of your choosing.

Statistics from valid, reliable sources such as professional population health-focused organizations, governmental agencies, local and state health departments, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are appropriate sources to validate assessment findings.

2. Identify the prevalent infectious and chronic diseases in the region
3. Compare and contrast the prevalence of those diseases in a separate geographic region of your choosing, noting similarities and differences.
4. Discuss the variables that contribute to the noted similarities and differences.
5. Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing.
Application of the Epidemiological Model
1. Select and describe one of the prevalent diseases noted in the previous section.
2. Discuss physical and social determinants of health that influence the disease process.
3. Identify and explain one epidemiological model that will be applied to the selected disease (i.e., Epidemiological Triangle, Web of Causation, or another legitimate epidemiological model).
4. Apply the epidemiological model to the selected disease in a well-developed, comprehensive manner, addressing the entire model.
5. Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing.
Levels of Prevention
1. Explain the levels of prevention used within population health practice.
2. Discuss one primary prevention to address the disease.
3. Discuss one secondary prevention to address the disease.
4. Discuss one tertiary prevention to address the disease.
5. Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing.
Reflection
1. Describe how the advanced practice nurse can monitor the application and efficacy of the prevention strategy.
2. Discuss how you will apply the identified prevention strategies in your practice.
3. Reflect on what you have learned from this assignment.

Students,

Use the template and follow what is required in each rubric section

Follow APA and requirement for references and in text citations

I expect discussion for each section, do not rely on bullet points or one word answers. If I advised you to seek writing help be sure to do this before submitting.

TELL ME about the region you choose. I expect more than the name of a place.
MAKE SURE the regions you compare are NOT in the same geographic area. Describe how they are different. Google if you are unsure.
BE SURE TO EXPLAIN the epidemiological model you choose, define it. Picking one with no other information why is not sufficient.
EXPLAIN HOW the illness / infection you choose fits into the model in a comprehensive way.
EXPLAIN the levels of prevention used within population health practice. DESCRIBE EACH level of prevention.
FOR REFLECTION be sure to describe how you will use prevention in practice. Be realistic with what you describe you will do considering you may be working in a full time job.
If you have difficulty with meeting the deadline please let me know.
