Epidemiologists are concerned with population growth as it relates to potential healthcare issues. Why do rates and measures of population change use the total mid-year population instead of the end-of-year population? What makes one measurement more effective than the other? Choose a real or a hypothetical example to explain how using the end-of-year population affects data collection and outcomes.

Compose an essay addressing the topics above. You must format your paper in accordance with APA guidelines. It should be 34 pages in length and include support from the required readings, and at least one outside source. Use the WCU Library to find scholarly sources that support your paper

Summative Paper

The goal of this research paper is to master the literature as well as demonstrate a student’s ability to apply the research and theory that they have learned throughout this course.

As a County Commissioner, you are asked to develop a program that will address mental illness among the offender population processed through the criminal justice system. Your programs have been put in place. Describe the journey of an offender with mental illness through your newly revised criminal justice system.

PART I: The first part of the research paper includes a literature review:

1. Choose a DSM IV Mental Health Diagnosis (choose one your offender will have). Discuss the symptoms of the disorder and conventional treatments for the identified diagnosis.
2. Provide a detailed analysis of possible assessment strategies for identifying this mental illness in the correctional system.
3. Provide a detailed analysis of the interventions that have been found to be effective with treating this mental illness in the criminal justice system.

The review will be a summary and analysis of selected academic journal articles, government reports, videos, practical reports, and/or textbook chapters related to that topic. The literature review should focus on the most current information, should be thorough in its coverage of the topic (between 5-8 references), and should be between 8-10 pages.

PART II:

An offender arrives at the County Jail on pending charges:

1. 1. What are his/her charges?
   2. What are the circumstances of his/her charges?
   3. What is his/her criminal history?
   4. What is his/her family history?
   5. Where was he living at the time of his/her offense?
2. 1. What are his/her behaviors in the jail?
   2. What mental health symptoms are identified?
   3. What assessments are put in place to identify mental illness?
   4. What is his/her diagnosis?
3. 1. What if any strategies/interventions are in place in the jail to treat this inmate?
   2. Will he/she serve time or be redirected to another program?
   3. What programs are set up for this type of inmate if he/she receives jail time? Or what programs will he be redirected to in place of jail time? Describe the components of this system or intervention. Why did you choose this particular intervention?
   4. What are the challenges that your program continues to face.
