Problem Statement

Overview (Instructions)

The assignment is to refine the focus of your project topic(“Racial and Ethnic Disparities in HIV/AIDS and pregnancy among Teens in the U.S.”) so that it clearly makes a case for taking action on the public health issue that you identified in your last assignment. Give a successful explanation as to why this public health problem is a public health issue. Come up with detailed definition(s) of public health, on the nature of health disparities. Take a look at my topic and come up with ways to make the explanation clearer or more persuasive. Then add one more element to turn your topic selection into a Problem Statement: come up with specific evidence, facts and data, to justify the need to do something about the problem you have identified. The key to this part of the assignment is to make the case for taking action—for using public resources, like people’s time and effort and budget dollars, to do something to address the problem. This is assignment is 1 and ½ pages.

Throughout this course, you will create a public service announcement (PSA) for a public health problem of your choice. For this assignment, you will begin working on your PSA by selecting the health problem and beginning your analysis of the issue.

Select a public health problem for your course project.

In 3–5 pages:

  1. Analyze the current and prospective impacts of the public health problem.
  2. Explain why a PSA would be useful for minimizing the impact of the public health problem. In what way?
  3. Justify your reasoning.

Your final product will be in a Microsoft Word document, approximately 3–5 pages in length, and utilize at least 3 scholarly sources in research (beyond the textbook). Your paper should be formatted following current APA standards; written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
