Paper details: Component 2: Health Indicators What are health indicators and how do they
relate to global health issues? How might health indicators vary on a global scale and what
challenges might public health professionals need to address in order to promote positive
health indicators? Health indicators represent characteristics of individuals, populations, or
environments that are either measured directly or indirectly. Health indicators may relate
directly to health phenomena, such as disease incidence, mortality rates, or number of
health services utilized in a community. As direct measures, these health indicators can help
inform public health professionals to employ strategies for the promotion of health and
well?being. Health indicators may also relate indirectly to health. That is certain factors,
such as access to education, poverty rates, or government infrastructure, may influence
health outcomes. As indirect measures, these health indicators may provide public health
professionals with substantial data to target macro?level changes for public health practice.
Health indicators are useful in describing the health of individuals or populations for
various countries. In addition, they are used to define public health problems at a particular
point in time. For this Final Project Assignment, reflect on the global health issue (The
public health issue I would like to examine and focus on is poverty and hunger). The
country you selected for your Final Project. Also, consider the health system of this country.
Research the health indicators that make up the profile for this country. Note: In grading
every required Final Project, your Instructor uses a Final Project Rubric. Review the rubric
prior to completing your Assignment. Document: Final Project Component 2 Rubric (Word
document) All rubrics can also be found in the Course Information area in the course
navigation menu. The Assignment (4 pages): ?Present a profile of the country you selected.
Be sure to include the health indicators, as well as the source of the statistical data you
researched. ?Describe the relationship between the global health issue you selected and the
health indicators observed. ?Describe the health system of this country. ?Explain how
access, resources, and infrastructure of health systems for this country may contribute to
the incidence of the health issue you selected, and why. Final Project Stage II: Outline for
Public Health Policy Analysis Paper In Week 2, you selected a public health issue to research
in order to complete a 12? to 15?page analysis for your Final Project. This week, you
provide additional detail about the issue. According to the textbook, the five essential
components of a policy analysis are: A clearly articulated problem statement A background
section that provides a factual overview of the problem being analyzed A landscape section
that provides the context of the problem in terms of key stakeholders and factors An
2. options section that provides three to five viable choices to resolve the problem A
well?supported recommendation section that develops one of the options identified,
describes future modifications that might be necessary, and explains spotential implications
of social change due to your recommendation (Teitelbaum & Wilensky, 2017, pp. 279?288)
