Epidemiology Paper Requirements
Address the following:
1. Describe the chosen communicable disease, including causes,
symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment, and
the demographic of interest (mortality, morbidity, incidence,
and prevalence). Is this a reportable disease? If so, provide
details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.
2. Describe the social determinants of health and explain how
those factors contribute to the development of this disease.
3. Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the
communicable disease you have selected. Include the host
factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental
factors. Are there any special considerations or notifications for
the community, schools, or general population?
4. Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding,
reporting, data collection, data analysis, and follow-up) and
why demographic data are necessary to the health of the
community.
5. Identify at least one national agency or organization that
addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how
the organizations contribute to resolving or reducing the impact
of disease.
6. Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this
addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic
to a particular area? Provide an example.
A minimum of four peer-reviewed or professional references is
required.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the
APA Style Guide. An abstract/thesis is required.
