When writing in this class, I ask that you use headings within your writings that correspond with the rubric that I am grading from. For example, if the Weekly Discussion has four sections to respond to, then please use these four headings in your post and put your responses under each heading.  Or if your paper has six rubric sections to answer about, then have six headings in your paper and put the information below these headings.  

I have found that it makes it easier for the both of us and it improves my student’s grades exponentially.  Also, less is missed because you can see if you have completed each and every section of the rubric and I will know where to find your answers that correspond. 

Working Ahead for the Final Project—Conduct an In-depth Literature Review

Please write paper on Eating disorders Anorexia nervosa, Bulemia Nervosea and Binge Eating disorder.

For the final project, you are required to investigate a health problem, focusing on the nature and scope of the problem (disease or disparity), the factors that are associated with this problem (behavioral, social, environmental), and what several organizations are doing about it. Through your research, you will come to understand how a particular health problem is multidimensional; how various organizations provide funding, programs, and resources to address such issues.

For Week 5, you have to complete your paper on your chosen health problem. The paper should be a minimum of 6 pages and should use a minimum of 5 peer reviewed journal articles. Must be less than 25% when plagiarism checked through turnitin.Use the following pointers to guide you in developing your paper:

•       Provide a clear, specific, definition of your topic. For example, your topic can be on CHD, obesity, or smoking   
• How is this topic or behavior relevant to community health? How is this topic relevant to other national health campaigns or national health initiatives?
•       If you are writing about a health behavior, what is the prevalence of this behavior in the United States and your state? Does prevalence differ by gender, race, age, socioeconomic status? Provide some statistics here.
•       Describe the significance of this topic/health behavior in America today. Discuss any diseases and/or societal problems caused by this behavior. Are there any financial costs or costs to society associated with this topic/behavior?
•       Describe the risk factors associated with this topic/behavior. What factors lead to this health behavior or disease? 
•       How can the risk factors be controlled or prevented? How can the negative outcomes be prevented? What are the current recommendations for preventing premature morbidity/mortality in this area? Are there any programs that have shown to be effective in the literature?
•       Please identify a minimum of three organizations or healthcare agencies either nationally or locally that provide programs, funding, or resources to address this issue.
