Students will select an issue in public health from the Healthy People 2020 10 Leading Health Indicators that you would like to research further. Do some initial research, create a Draft Thesis Statement for instructor’s review (draft will be emailed to instructor on specified date given in class), carry out additional library research, and write a paper using APA 6th Style. See Grading Criteria below for expectations.
a. Thesis statement – See http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/ for examples of types of thesis statements. Your thesis statement should appear in the within the first two paragraphs of your paper.
b. The paper is limited to 10-15 pages only, not including references
c. Paper Focus: Find a topic of interest to you in public health and develop your paper around a question you have regarding this topic. You may want to analyze a public health intervention or propose your own intervention to a public health problem. For instance, teenage pregnancy has been regarded as a public health problem. Your paper may question whether sex education is more effective, at combating teenage pregnancy, over abstinence only education.
Maternal health outcomes are definitely a public health issue in the US. Lower income and minority populations are more likely to have worse maternal and/or infant outcomes. As you work on your paper, make sure you keep the topic related to the US and pick out a certain population you want to focus on.
