There are several independent governmental organizations that monitor public health around the world including the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Each of these organizations maintains a Web site that publishes assessments of the most urgent public health problems.

In this assignment, you will summarize information on a public health issue of your choice.

Using the Internet to complete the following:

1. Access the Web site of one of the following organizations, and identify a major public health issue (global or regional) that, in your opinion, is a priority issue that needs to be addressed.
   • CDC—United States
   • WHO—United Nations
   • Department of Health—United Kingdom
   • Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing
   • Department of Health—South Africa
   • Department of Health—Ireland
   • Ministry of Health—China
   • National Institute of Public Health—Mexico
   • Ministry of Health—Belize
   • Ministry of Health and Family Welfare—India
2. Based on the information available on the Web site you reviewed, create a presentation focusing on a public health issue of your choice. In your presentation, do the following:
   • Describe the technical details about your public health issue.
     • What is the mechanism through which public health is affected?
     • How long has this been a problem?
     • Is this problem caused by humans or is it naturally occurring?
   • Identify whether the environment affects this issue. If yes, how?
   • Identify the population affected.
     • List the geographical areas affected by this problem today and those areas affected by this issue in the past.
     • If other countries have attempted to control or mitigate this issue, what strategies and methods did they employ? Were they successful in their attempts?
   • Describe how experts are addressing this issue. Consider, for example, the following questions as they potentially relate to your selected topic:
     • Are there any new vaccines available that can help?
     • Will clean water solve this issue? If so, what systems or infrastructure are necessary to ensure clean water for this region?
     • How are public health officials monitoring the progression of this issue?

Be sure that your presentation addresses all of the above points. In addition, make note of the following:

• Use APA formatting for your presentation and use college-level writing skills.
• Organize your presentation, check your grammar, ensure your information flows logically, and check that your final product demonstrates unity and coherence.
• Support your statements with scholarly references.
• Prepare one slide, at the end of your presentation, as a reference slide.
• Use the speaker notes function to include remarks for each slide as though you were actually giving this presentation to an audience.

Develop a 10–12-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format, excluding the introduction and reference slides. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
