Imagine that you were asked to prepare a presentation at your local public health center to increase their multicultural awareness of substance use disorder. You will address physicians, nurses, social workers, and public health workers. Differentiate the causes, course of substance use disorder, and other factors that influence drug use in at least three ethnic groups. Be sure to note differences between men and women in general, and within these various subgroups.
You may choose the format for this presentation; and you may prepare a recorded lecture with an accompanying transcript of the lecture, a PowerPoint presentation, or a written lecture.
Length: Written Lecture: 5-7 pages or PowerPoint Presentation: 12-15 slides with 100 to 150-word notes per slide or a recorded lecture between 3 to 5 minutes.
Resources: Your presentation should draw on the resources listed for this week, as well as 3 three articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the past 5 years. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
If you choose to record your lecture, upload it to your instructor in MP3 format; this file must not exceed 8mb. An average lecture tends to be 100 to 150 words per minute. There are many audio recording programs available. Audacity is an open-source recording program available on the Internet. The instructions for using audacity are located under your weekly resources.
Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
