1) The document discusses an assignment focusing on identifying social and environmental risk factors for a health condition in the student's local community. 2) It provides a list of potential risk factors and asks the student to select at least two relevant to their selected health condition, explaining how each contributes and citing sources. 3) The student is then asked to analyze data on risk factor prevalence in communities and identify which pose the highest concern in their own community.

[From 10$/Pg] 000 Vehicles Per Day This assignment builds on the research that you did
for Human Health and Physiology. For this assignment, you will be focusing on one health
condition that you identified in your role as a medical specialist. If you identified multiple
health conditions, select the one that you think is of greatest concern for your community
((Arleta, El Monte, West Athens, West Whittier, Boyle Heights).Assignment
RequirementsPart 1: Identifying Social and Environmental Risk FactorsWhat is the
community and the health condition that you will be focusing on for this project? Identify all
of the social and environmental risk factors from the list below that you believe are relevant
to your health condition. (You should have at least two for full credit.) Explain how each risk
factor is relevant to your health condition, including at least one in-text citation for each risk
factor and a properly formatted reference list at the end.Access to grocery stores and
farmers markets – # of grocery stores and farmers’ markets within a half-mileSupermarket
access – % of people in urban areas who live within a half-mile of a supermarket/large
grocery storeAlcohol availability – % of people who live within ¼ mile of a store that sells
alcoholBinge drinking – % of adults who drank 5 or more alcoholic drinks (men) or 4 or
more alcoholic drinks (women) at least once within the past monthCurrent smoker – % of
adults who currently smokeNear-roadway pollution – % of population living within 200
meters of a high-traffic road with more than 25,000 vehicles per dayClean air – diesel PM –
average daily amount of particulate pollution (very small particles) from diesel
sourcesClean air – PM 2.5 – yearly average of fine particulate matter concentration (very
small particles from vehicle tailpipes, tires and brakes, power plants, factories, burning
wood, construction dust, and many other sources)Tree canopy (HPI) – % of land with tree
canopy (weighted by number of people per acre)Access to parks – # of parks within a half-
milePark access – % of population who live within a half-mile of a park, beach, or open
space greater than 1 acreWalk trips – Estimated # of walks around the neighborhood per
household per dayNo leisure time physical activity – % of people who do not exercise or
participate in physical activities (outside of their regular job)Using your answer to #2, you
are now going to analyze data showing the prevalence of these risk factors in several
communities. Which risk factors are of highest concern in your community compared to
other communities? Explain using the data. Part 2: Proposing A SolutionPreview the
websites of the organizations and programs in the list below. Based on your health
condition and the risk factors you identified in Part 1, which one of these could most
improve health outcomes in your focal community? (Select only one

2. organization/program.)Los Angeles Play Streets Program (Links to an external site.)Mobile
Recreation Program (Links to an external site.)City Plants (Links to an external site.)LA
Quits (Links to an external site.)Gangsta Gardening (Links to an external site.)What is the
community-focused solution being implemented by this organization or program? Which of
the risk factors that you identified in Part 1 Question 3 would this solution best address in
your focal community? (You will be focusing on this risk factor for the duration of the
Community Health Project.)How would this solution address the identified risk factor and
decrease the prevalence of the health condition? To effectively advocate for this solution,
you will need to research the physiological connection between the risk factor and your
health condition. Explain what is known about how this risk factor contributes to the
development of the health condition. Use at least two reputable sources in your explanation.
Be sure to include in-text citations and a full reference list at the end for full credit.Example:
Planting trees provides more shade and limits exposure to UV radiation (Parisi & Turnbull,
2014). UV radiation is a risk factor for skin cancer (ACS, 2019). UV radiation directly
damages DNA and causes mutations to p53 tumor suppressor genes. When p53 genes are
mutated, they can no longer repair DNA, leading to the further accumulation of mutations.
This accumulation of mutations can lead to uncontrolled cell division and ultimately cause
skin cancer (Narayanan et al., 2010).Submission GuidelinesUpload your answers for Part 1
and Part 2 of this assignment as a Word document or as a pdf. Please clearly number your
answers.
