Elements of the Paper – Your paper MUST have these headings! Background (5points): The background section must provide basic information about the public health issue addressed by the paper. The aim of this section is to answer questions including but not limited to (1) What is the problem and why it is of concern? (2) What is the magnitude of the problem? (3) Who are affected by this issue and how? (4) At the very end of the background section, state the purpose of your paper. This section should accurately summarize the information so that it leads up to the heart of your discussion, the perspectives. Viewpoints/Perspectives (10 points): A key to this paper is to look at the selected public health issue from multiple viewpoints/perspectives. Thus, you must utilize at least two viewpoints/perspectives. For example: from the perspective of general population, political decision makers, healthcare providers, insurance companies etc. You may also choose to discuss two different viewpoints based on gender, race/ethnicity, culture, political views, or any other factor of your choice. Each viewpoint must be discussed under separate sub-headings and must be supported by published literature or other legitimate sources (e.g., newspapers, organizations like CDC, WHO, etc.) It is up to you to decide which current views and evidence to include. The aim of this section is to emphasize the critical importance of evidence in advancing public health knowledge. (Assesses learning objective #4 and 5) Solution (15 points): Based on elements 1 and 2, design a population-based policy, program, project, or intervention that you would suggest to improve the health and well- being of those affected by this public health issue. (Assesses learning objective # 9). For example, if you are discussing vaccinations, what solution would you implement to prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases? How could these solutions be implemented to please all parties involved, if that is ever possible? As you remember from class discussions, the first step to negotiations is to understand the interests of each party. An agreement can only be achieved by meeting the legitimate interests of all the parties involved.

In this reflective writing , I would like to agree or disagree & explain why ? And used examples in our day to day to answer to respond to this reflective writing . You can cited a source if needed but it is not recommended Please Reflect on this writing below : In the reading, Internal and external factors that encourage or discourage health behaviors, external factors include social support, media, socioculture/political/economic factors, biologic, health care system, environmental stressors, and societal laws and regulations (Cole et al., 1992). Cumulatively, these factors make up a large portion of the Social Determinants of Health, which are, “the range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status (Healthy People, 2020)”. Social determinants of health reflect the social factors and physical conditions of the environment in which people are born, live, learn, play, work, and age. Also known as social and physical determinants of health, they impact a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes. Some examples of social support factors include availability of resources to meet daily needs, social norms and attitudes, exposure to crime, violence, and social disorder, social support and social interactions, quality schools, and transportation options (Healthy People, 2020). Both access to health services and the quality of health services can impact health. Lack of access, or limited access, to health services greatly impacts an individual’s health status. Some other examples of barriers within the health care system are lack of availability, high cost, lack of insurance coverage, and limited language access which leads to unmet health needs, delays in receiving appropriate care, inability to get preventive services, and hospitalizations that could have been prevented (Healthy People, 2020).
