It may seem to you that healthcare has been a national topic of debate among political leaders for as long as you can remember.
Healthcare has been a policy item and a topic of debate not only in recent times but as far back as the administration of the second U.S. president, John Adams. In 1798, Adams signed legislation requiring that 20 cents per month of a sailor’s paycheck be set aside for covering their medical bills. This represented the first major piece of U.S. healthcare legislation, and the topic of healthcare has been woven into presidential agendas and political debate ever since.

As a healthcare professional, you may be called upon to provide expertise, guidance and/or opinions on healthcare matters as they are debated for inclusion into new policy. You may also be involved in planning new organizational policy and responses to changes in legislation. For all of these reasons you should be prepared to speak to national healthcare issues making the news.

In this Assignment, you will analyze recent presidential healthcare agendas. You also will prepare a fact sheet to communicate the importance of a healthcare issue and the impact on this issue of recent or proposed policy.

Communications and Media

Write a 7-page paper to critically analyze the South Korean reality show “Produce 101”. The goal is to explore how this media object engages with and conceptualizes its audiences. Please see the attachment for detailed requirements.

Overview
We started looking at the pattern of your chosen health problem in the last unit using Biostatistics and Epidemiology. We have the “who” and “what” but need to figure out some of the “whys”. To do this, we now need to add in the determinants of your problem. What are the associated factors that may DETERMINE if a person is likely to have your problem? Why do some people have more risk for the problem? Understanding the determinants will help you to address these issues to prevent or reduce the problem.

PREPARATION
Here is a review of some categories of determinants. Some overlap, some are interdependent and different sources describe them slightly differently. The module describes this more, so please refer back to it if you need help. In the presentation you need to address how these determinants impact your chosen problem:

-Behavior
Genetics
Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)
Do your own research to find the determinants for your problem. Some tips are to just search:
Genetics of (your problem)
Behavioral contribution to (your problem)
Social determinants of (your problem)

INSTRUCTIONS
Once you do the research above to prepare, you will create two more slides and add them to the end of your presentation.
For the summary slide, start focusing on a feasible group to address and where they live, work and play. This slide needs to use data from the LAST TWO steps. What group interests you to work with? Think age, SES, gender etc.
Then SUMMARIZE the two slides from this week in simple terms. LOOK at my example. If it is more complex than this, you will not get credit
