2. Provide a detailed account of your subject’s history within the community. In other words, has it always been an issue within the community? At what point in time was it considered a community health issue?
3. From the list above, at a minimum, select two other subjects that have a direct affect on your particular subject. Discuss the interrelationship between your subject and the other subjects you have chosen. How are they linked?
a. Describe the direct impact and/or affect the other subjects have on your subject.

Things to Include:
1. In your discussion you are to provide statistics and data in support of your talking points (i.e., health outcomes, morbidity rates, mortality rates, etc.).
2. Your response should focus on certain demographics or population groups that are affected (i.e., children, adults, seniors, male or female, certain age groups, etc.), or you may provide an all-inclusive general discussion, singling-out a specific population where appropriate.
3. Keep in mind, the information on the first page should be used as a tool to help guide your discussion. It is up to you to determine the “what,” “where,” “why,” and “how,” regarding the subject matter you choose to discuss.
4. A minimum of three sources are required; the textbook can count as one. At least two identifiable sources will need to come from journals and other sources.
Hint: The “references” at the end of the chapters of your textbook, can be very valuable sources.
Grading: Among other things, your paper will be graded partially for its substance, the information used from the sources cited, and the quality of content in your paper.
Point Deductions: Among other things, points will be deducted for the following:
• Misspelled words, incorrect use of words, missing or incorrect use of commas (colons, semi-colons, apostrophes, etc.).
• Incorrect syntax (sentence structure).
• Obvious overuse of small paragraphs (as a means of taking-up space and filling-up the page), and obvious creation of space (as a means of taking-up space and filling-up the page).
• Ten (10) points will be deducted for every page not completed. Keep in mind, this paper is a required eight-page minimum. So, for example, if you only submit 6 pages, twenty (20) points will automatically be deducted; ten points for each missing page.
Paper Formatting & Submission Instructions
1. The paper must contain at least 8 full-length pages.
2. 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced text, and one-inch margins all around.
3. Include page numbers.
