Write two to three paragraphs discussing how the material attached applies to your population. You might discuss why the problem exists, which consequences are apparent, what (if any) public health interventions are in place to address it, and how you would address it. If the week’s subject matter is not a significant public health issue in your population, discuss why not, and present evidence to back up your assertion. For example, if the week’s topic is iodine deficiency, and you were especially interested in college-aged males, you might find data that demonstrates a high intake of iodine-fortified foods – e.g., salt – and argue that college-aged males in the U.S. are not at risk for iodine deficiency. You might also find data stating the prevalence of iodine deficiency in this group.You might discuss why the problem exists, which consequences are apparent, what (if any) public health interventions are in place to address it, and how you would address it.
