MODULE 1
Q1
Defining international or global health is important and some consider global health synonymous with public health. Select one of the following two statements:
1. Global health is public health requiring similar training and research methods.
2. Global health is a separate discipline requiring specific training and research methods.
Identify at least two arguments that support the selected statement and provide sources to support those arguments. Identify and discuss one historical event that is important in how global health is understood today and how that event supports your argument. For one of your substantive responses, identify another classmate that selected the opposite statement and provide at least one point of agreement and one point of disagreement.?
Q2
Poverty is central to health and development in low-income and middle-income countries. State your definition of poverty prior to studying public health. Based on this definition, what would be the focus of poverty alleviation solutions? Based on the relational and spiritual definition of poverty, discuss how the focus of solutions would change to include a holistic approach.

Q1
Review the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals,
then evaluate the following statement by Katja Iversen, CEO of
Women Deliver: "The SDGs are not a menu, they are a
roadmap. We need to ask ourselves: Who can we do this with,
and who does this affect?"
Discuss the difference between a roadmap and menu in
reference to the SDGs and why a roadmap analogy makes more
sense. In your response, reference at least two different goals
between Goals 4 and 17 that are connected to health.
Additionally, identify two key targets for reaching Goal 3 and
why you think these are critical. Discuss two actions you could
5. take to help make progress toward reaching the SDGs as a
global society. Refer to the United Nations’ “The Lazy Person’s
Guide to Saving the World” in the Topic Materials.

Q1
Globalization involves several features, including governance
structures, communication, mobility, technology, and the
environment. Based on the readings for this topic, identify two
features of globalization that you think are the most important
and discuss one example for each as to how it influences health.
Identify a health issue that was not a global threat in the past
but, due to changes in globalization, is now a global threat.
Discuss what countries might do to prepare for this emerging
health threat considering the issue of human rights in low-
income and middle-income countries.
Q2
Public health and health care systems are impacted by
globalization the exchange of new ideas, and opportunities to
influence the larger field of global health. As you consider the
factors related to globalization, discuss how low-income and
middle-income countries should navigate the balance in
building strong public health systems alongside an efficient
health care system. What three pieces of advice would you give
8. the Minister of Health in a country like Zambia or Nepal when
it comes to the structure and integration of health care and
public health?

MODULE 4
Q1
Social and economic inequalities lead to imbalances in
opportunities for advancement and growth. These imbalances
lead to a greater sense of insecurity and lack of control.
11. Microfinance or village banking programs are approaches used
to encourage shared risk, security in savings, and opportunities
for capacity building. Discuss the potential of such
microfinance programs in lower-income communities where
irregular income is common and their impact on reducing social
and economic disparities. In your response, identify a specific
example of such a program in a low-income or middle-income
country and critically discuss one challenge and one benefit of
the program. Evaluate the relationship between economic
microfinance programs and social inequalities..
Q2
Inequalities lead to feelings of despair, depression, and anxiety
often associated with substance use disorders. Consider the
following scenario: Mr. Banda is a middle-aged man living in
rural Malawi with a wife and three young children. He often
travels to find work while his wife and children maintain the
family farm to sustain themselves. Recently, Mr. Banda found
out he was HIV positive without access to HIV antiretroviral
therapy in the village. He became severely depressed and turned
to alcohol to help him cope as an available social outlet. Over
time, he started to drink on credit against his family's harvest.
When harvest time came, the tavern owner showed up at Mr.
Banda's home demanding half of his harvest to pay off his debt.
Mr. Banda has come to you to ask for help. How would you
respond to Mr. Banda after he shared his story with you?
Discuss three social or economic inequalities influencing Mr.
Banda's actions and options. How would you leverage the
strengths of faith-based organizations or
churches in the area to address these factors influencing Mr.
Banda's options assuming others in the community are going
through similar situations? Watch the "Aid and Development"
video to help you in answering this discussion question.

Q1
Cultural competence and cultural humility are central in
engaging and communicating with community members and
leaders. Provide your own definition of cultural humility in the
context of public health. How does your definition compare to
the points made about cultural humility in the Topic Material
entitled "Reflections on Cultural Humility"? In addition to
cultural humility, describe one other principle necessary when
communicating public health content to engage communities to
act. Describe a real example of this principle in action..
Q2
Sustainable community health strategies in economically
diverse communities constitute the goal of public health. An
14. international perspective is helpful to consider the diverse
cultural beliefs, social systems, and values that make up a
community. True transformation happens from within the
community and includes intentional focus on the whole person
and surrounding influences. Asset-based community
development (ABCD) is an approach used to help facilitators
focus on community assets rather than only discussing problems
and needs. Evaluate and critique the ABCD approach. Is it
realistic to think that poor communities have existing and
unrecognized assets that can lead to economic opportunities?
Discuss two benefits and two challenges when it comes to the
effectiveness of ABCD in mobilizing communities for
development.

MODULE 7
Q1
The textbook states, that often orphanages "ignore the power
and presence of local communities and extended families in
caring for orphans. Not only that, but many times exacerbate the
challenges faced by orphans because they contribute to the
cycle of 'attachment and abandonment,' owning to the short-
term nature of these volunteer efforts" (p. 191). Evaluate this
statement given what you know about the well-being of
children. In what situations would orphanages or institutions for
20. children be appropriate options and at what ages? How would a
country's Department or Ministry of Health apply a Health in
All Policies approach to address the economic and social issues
presented in this statement?.
Q2
Children are foundational to health of communities made up of
family units. Understanding the context within which children
are living, playing, growing, and developing is necessary as
culture influences the definition of health. However, it is easy
to focus on the physical needs of children while neglecting the
emotional and spiritual needs of children. Provide one example
from the Bible of how children were served spiritually or
emotionally. Discuss how this example might inform your
approach in helping culturally diverse families holistically
support their children. Identify and discuss how emotional and
mental health in children might look different based on different
cultural definitions of health..
