Unit VII PowerPoint Presentation
Contemporary Public Health Issue
Although the United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, it is far from being the healthiest. Life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, but Americans have shorter lifespans and experience more illness than people in other high-income countries. This assignment gives you an opportunity to put together what you have learned in this course, including, but not limited to:
public health policy, policymaking process, and law;
public health and the legal system;
individual and human rights in public health; and
social justice, ethics and public health policy.
Choose a contemporary public health issue (e.g., bioterrorism, gun violence, or natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires), its impact on public health, and strategies for mitigating and managing it once the issue occurs.
Create a PowerPoint presentation of 16 slides on the contemporary public health issue you have chosen and a human rights ethical dilemma. You will present this work to a team of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials tasked with developing global policies for addressing the impact of contemporary public health issues around the world.
Your presentation should assess:
the human rights concerns associated with the selected issues in public health policy, the conflicts of interest between public health policies and your selected emerging public health issue, and
the gaps in the current health law that apply to the contemporary public health concern you selected with recommended suitable policy interventions to address the selected contemporary public health issue.
Your assignment must be supported with evidence from three to five peer-reviewed references, two of which must be from the CSU Online Library and no more than five years old.
Ensure your presentation includes visuals such as images and graphics to supplement your message. These images or graphics must be cited according to APA standards as well.
As a part of the presentation, you are encouraged to use the speaker notes section for the content slides to reinforce your presentation.
Use APA style.
