create 10-12 PowerPoint slides (excluding your title and reference slides) on the global public health issue HYPERTENSION. MUST CITE THE TEXTBOOK ATTACHED
The presentation should be focused on epidemiology, with its connection to and influence upon public health. This assignment brings together the epidemiological principles. Narrate each slide and write speaker notes to provide in-depth explanation of the content and to present as if to a live audience.

Reading Assignment: Week 6: Public Health Program Evaluation
You have learned a great deal of information involved in epidemiological assessments for diseases and conditions that can adversely affect communities locally as well as worldwide. You have researched strategies and interventions used by agencies and public health officials to optimize the health of a population, and developed a public health education tool to publicize in a local venue that could impact your county or community’s heath.
Our focus for the rest of the course will now be upon global health issues which impact communities across the globe. Health issues around the world impact our country and others due to a number of issues which include population change and growth, economic disparities, global mobility, etc. These issues sped up the spread of existing disease. The United Nations Member States in 2015 provided a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. At the heart of this plan found at this website are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals represent a call for all countries to global action in partnership for now and the future.
In the 1980s with the emergence of HIV/AIDS with origins in Africa, and mosquito borne diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile Virus, the Zika virus, and other global health threats, the One Health Initiative or One Health was developed to respond to increasing threats from the relationship between humans, animals, and the ecosystem. It is believed that 60% of emerging infectious diseases are leaping into the human population through animals. There is a suspected animal connection to the origins of COVID-19 in humans.
One Heath is the collaborative endeavor of a number of health science professions and their related disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally to achieve maximal health for people, domestic animals, wildlife, plants, and our environment (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2016). Riegelman and Kirkwood (2019) discuss the One Health Initiative in more detail and how it impacts our world.
Please watch the following video that describes One Health: From Idea to Action.
An article by Patterson and Edwards (2018) discusses the obstacles in obtaining global mental health services and ways to reduce treatment gaps in such services.
Much more work needs to be done to improve the health of populations across the world, and many of the targets of the WHO declarations have not improved in some countries. Masic (2018) provides a comprehensive analysis of the issues and what is needed in the future.
Please watch the following video, What is Public Health?, which is about using global Public Health to prevent disease, prolong life, and promote health for everyone at every stage of life.
It is also crucial in our discussion to take it to the next step with is evaluation. It is important to evaluate the effectiveness of public health programs. An article by Golechha (2016) discusses the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs. How do public health officials and agencies know their efforts are being effective at intervening in the health issue or educating the population? Some important questions to consider in evaluating the effectiveness of a public health intervention or education might be any of the following:
1. Are the prevalence and incidence rates affected by increased interventions or education? What are the trends in disease reporting over many months or years?
2. Has there been increased longevity of life as a result of improved programs for a health condition? Is there decreased morbidity or mortality as a result of the public health efforts?
3. Has there been an increase in the numbers of persons seeking treatment for conditions as a result of these public health interventions or strategies?
4. Is there a notable cost saving or improvement of attended workdays or school attendance as a result of these interventions?
There are a few required readings for the week to understand how evaluation of global public health interventions and education is an important step in the epidemiological process.
Consider the evaluation of the programs you will need for Assignment 3. If the past public health interventions have not been effective for the condition you are preparing your presentation on, then present or future interventions need to address this. Develop these points in your slides.
This is going to be a voice thread as well, include engaging speaker notes, the speaker notes will not be posted, I will use them to read for the voice thread only. You don’t have to worry about grammar in the speaker notes
