Question 1: (ONE PAGE)
Complete the following, upon reading the referenced text below and use the research tip as an example guide on your article:
• Post a summary of two of the articles you researched.
• Discuss how the locations of these events differed.
• Evaluate the role of structural inequalities and geographic diversity in producing epidemiological phenomena.
• Include an APA citation of the articles you found.
Research Tip Q1: Identify two journal articles on the same health topic; one article will need to focus on a rural area and one will need to focus on an urban area. For example, you could select an article that outlines an HIV educational intervention in New York City, and an article that outlines an HIV educational intervention in rural Africa.
Reference:
Use your Case Studies in Global Health text to complete the following:
• Introduction, pages xxiii–xxxiii. This reading will provide an overview of the health situation of the world (urban and rural).
As an introduction to epidemiological events around the world, read the following case studies:
• Case 1, “Eradicating Smallpox.”
• Case 2, “Preventing HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Thailand.”
• Case 3, “Controlling Tuberculosis in China.”
• Case 4, “Reducing Child Mortality through Vitamin A in Nepal.”
• Case 5, “Eliminating Polio in Latin America and the Caribbean.”
• Case 6, “Saving Mothers’ Lives in Sri Lanka.”
When reading the cases, be thinking about what topics interest you the most. You need to select a health topic in Unit 2. ( Note: It does not need to be a topic from these case studies.)

Watch a PBS video and research solutions to physician shortages.
Now, complete the following:
• Discuss how the addition of nurse practitioners could differentially affect urban and rural settings.
• Recommend an additional solution to the primary care physician shortage based on the article you researched.
• Compare your proposed solution with the proposed solution from the PBS video.
• Be sure to include course concepts and theories.
Research Tip Q2: identify an article that proposes a solution to physician shortages.
