Summative Assessment: Global Health and Policy

Navigate to the Global Health Estimates: Life Expectancy and Leading Causes of Death and Disability page by the World Health Organization.

Click the Indicators tab.

Select an indicator significantly affecting the U.S.

Select another country that is not affected or slightly affected by the same indicator you reviewed for the U.S.

Explore the data related to this indicator, including mortality rates.

For example, if you select number of deaths attributed to non-communicable diseases, by type of disease and sex as your indicator, you will then explore the relevant information pertaining to this indicator, such as any visualization, data, and metadata. For metadata, note how the data can be disaggregated and how the indicator is defined.

Include the following in your presentation:
Describe the U.S. mortality data you selected.
Compare the data of the U.S. to the data of another country that has lower mortality rates.
Provide an evidence-based rationale for the other country’s management of the problem surrounding the social determinants of health and health inequity.
Provide a comparison of the health policies of both countries that improve or negatively impact the problem.
Determine if a new policy is needed or if an existing policy should be changed to improve the incidence and mortality rate of
the problem.
Identify leadership competencies and skills that would be required to create a change to positively impact the problem.
Discuss possible platforms nurses can use to influence change in managing this problem.
