MIDTERM MAKE-UP ASSIGNMENT- FALL 2015 – (20 POINTS) “Ten Great Public Health Achievements in the 20th Century” “What is public health?” Ask the average American and the likely response is “healthcare for low-income families.” While a large part of public health is promoting healthcare equity, quality and accessibility, the real answer is that public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of families and communities through programs of healthy lifestyles, research for disease and injury prevention, and detection and control of infectious diseases. Unlike clinical professionals such as doctors and nurses who focus primarily on treating individuals after they become sick or injured, public health professionals try to prevent problems from happening or recurring through implementing educational programs, recommending policies, administering services and conducting research. Public health is credited with adding 25 years to the life expectancy of Americans this century, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),the nation’s disease prevention and wellness promotion agency, came up with this top-ten list of great achievements of the last century. These are important interventions. ASSIGNMENT DIRECTIONS For this assignment you will research the ten great public health achievements of the 20th Century. You will list them individually and provide a one paragraph description for each one. Your description will explain: • When the achievement was initiated (year etc.) • Law related to the implementation of the achievement • Any other relevant information In order to receive full credit for the assignment, you must provide information on all ten achievements. In addition, there must be an entire paragraph to describe the achievement. A paragraph is considered to be a minimum of five sentences. It is important that you include as much information possible to describe the impact of the achievement on the health of Americans. Keep in mind, this assignment is intended to provide an opportunity to “improve” your midterm grade and is completely optional. You are not required to complete it. The points earned will be added to your overall course grade, not the midterm grade. It must be completed and submitted in a hard copy to me on the day that you return from the Thanksgiving break, Tuesday, December 1, 2015. This is the only day that it will be accepted. Do not email the assignment, and please do not ask for any extension. Hopefully, you will take advantage of this opportunity to improve your overall grade in the class. It is a final offer. Thanks.
