Evaluation of Epidemiological Problem
Guidelines& Grading Rubric
Purpose
The purpose
of this assignment is to
Provide
learners with the opportunity to integrate knowledge and skills learned
throughout this course
Directly
apply principles and knowledge learned in the course to problem solving of
population health problems in their own geographic areas.
Course
Outcomes
This
assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
1.
Define key terms in epidemiology,
community health, and population-based research.
2. Compare
study designs used for obtaining population health information from
surveillance, observation, community, and control trial based research.
3. Identify
appropriate outcome measures and study designs applicable to epidemiological
subfields such as infectious disease, chronic disease, environmental exposures,
reproductive health, and genetics.
4. Apply
commonly used measures of health risk.
5. Examine
current ethical/legal issues in epidemiology.
6. Identify
important sources of epidemiological data.
7.
Evaluate a public health problem in
terms of magnitude, person, time, and place.

Requirements
This
paper should clearly and comprehensively identify the disease or population
health problem chosen. The problem must be an issue in your geographic area and
a concern for the population you will serve upon graduation with your degree.
The paper should be organized into the following sections:
1.
Introduction
with a clear presentation of the problem as well as significance and a
scholarly overview of the paper.
2.
Background
of the disease including definition, description, signs and symptoms, and
current incidence and/or prevalence statistics current state, local, and
national statistics pertaining to the disease. (Include a table of incidence or
prevalence rates by your geographic county, state, and national statistics.)
3.
A
review of current surveillance methods and any mandated reporting or methods
for reporting the disease for providers.
4.
Conduct
descriptive epidemiology analysis of the disease including who is more
frequently affected and characteristics of the population that might help in
creating a prevention plan. Include costs (both financial and social)
associated with the disease or problem.
5.
Review
how the disease is diagnosed, current national standards for screening or
prevention, and pick one screening test and review its sensitivity,
specificity, positive predictive value, cost and any current national
guidelines for conducting which patients to conduct this test on.
6.
Provide
a brief plan of how you will address this epidemiological disease in your
practice once you are finished with school.
Provide three actions you will take along with how you will measure
outcomes of your actions.
7.
Conclude
in a clear manner with a brief overview of key points of the entire disease,
