Each student must identify a recent (published in the past 3 years) news article (in print or online) that discusses a biological topic we have covered in class, where that topic is related to a public health problem. This article does NOT need to be peer-reviewed. For example, if you are interested in the public health problem of antibiotic resistance, you need to identify an article that discusses the biology of antibiotic resistance, e.g. gene mutation.
Details:
Each student will write a 2-page paper (single spaced, Calibri 12 point font, 1 inch margins) which addresses the following questions:
1. What biologic topic does the article focus on? How does this relate to a topic we have covered in class?
2. What is the article about? Summarize the article.
3. How does the topic discussed in the article relate to a public health problem?
4. Discuss this public health problem in terms of the scope of the problem (either in the U.S. or globally), who is affected by this problem, and what is currently being done to address the problem.
5. Suggest a public health intervention to address the public health problem. Be creative; think of something that you did not discuss to answer question 4.
References:
You must provide a reference for the article you have identified, as well as two additional peer-reviewed references to answer Question 4. References should be formatted in the APA style.
