First, think about a health problem that you find interesting, such as a disease outbreak, chronic condition (heart disease, diabetes, etc.), or common injury in a population (falling among seniors, occupational injuries, etc.). You could also choose a health problem that is currently affecting your community.
Next, choose and research an organization that is part of the public health system (local, state, federal or global health organization, non-governmental organization, or other organization) that is addressing the health problem.
For your initial response to the Discussion, provide a brief description of the public health problem and the organization you have chosen. How is the organization actively addressing the health problem? Who are the stakeholders in the community that the organization might reach out to in partnership to address the problem?
Your two peer replies should ask probing questions about the organization or the health problem that is being addressed by your peers. You can also make additional suggestions to your peers regarding other stakeholders or organizations that might be appropriate to include when addressing the public health problem.
