Public health issue: Heart diseasesThis week, for your discussion, tell us the public health issue and the community you are considering using for your Portfolio Project.
In your post, discuss your public health idea. Incorporate at least two references from a newspaper, trade magazine, website, or peer-reviewed journal that speak to the public health issue you have selected. One reference must tell about the specific public health problem in the community you have chosen to examine. The second reference must offer up a potential solution to the type of public health issue you have identified (it does not need to refer to your specific issue in the community you are working on).
Discuss any ethical, moral, or political responsibility, as described in Chapters 1 and 2 of Public Health Ethics, that you feel your community has to address. Next, review and comment on at least two other students’ posts by Sunday night. Your review must offer a helpful suggestion for each student’s proposed project. For example, you could suggest a resource, an organization, or a theory that could help the student along in his or her topic development. You might also mention a community-based ethical, moral, or political responsibility your classmate has not yet thought of sharing.
