Since the pandemic started, many public health issues have been emphasized less and some public health services have been less available. Research different public health issues and services and write a five to six page paper on your findings following the American Medical Association guide (AMA citation style). For example, less children have been vaccinated for childhood diseases, there is concern over domestic abuse, STI rates are down, and suicide rates are up. When you look at these issues what do you find? For this option, please choose the suite of issues you want to discuss (or if it is strong enough, a single issue) and use research to support your findings. Your paper should address the following public health principles:
Principle of the Aggregate: Public health focuses on the health needs of the entire population. (10 points)
Principle of Prevention: Public health emphasizes prevention. (10 points)
Principle of Epidemiology: Public health relies on epidemiology (the science of understanding the causes, distribution, and control of disease in populations) as its method of inquiry. (10 points)
Principle of Community Organization: Public health organizes community resources to meet health needs. (10 points)
Principle of Leadership: Public health leads when others cannot or will not. (10 points)
Principle of the Greater Good: Public health gives first consideration to interventions that provide greater good for the greatest number of people. (10 points)
Critique of References: For at least two of your most commonly used citations, evaluate each one separately indicating each component of quality using the criteria presented in Riegelman on the table attached (12 points)
Format, Grammar & Spelling (28 points)
