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.

  1. TELL ME about the region you choose. I expect more than the name of a place.
  2. MAKE SURE the regions you compare are NOT in the same geographic area. Describe how they are different. Google if you are unsure.
  3. BE SURE TO EXPLAIN the epidemiological model you choose, define it.  Picking one with no other information why is not sufficient.
  4. EXPLAIN  HOW the illness / infection you choose fits into the model in a comprehensive way. 
  5. EXPLAIN  the levels of prevention used within population health practice. DESCRIBE EACH level of prevention.
  6. 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. 
  7. If you have difficulty with meeting the deadline please let me know.
