Public Health For this Paper, you will examine 3 current public health-related events or issues, which are COVID-19, food safety, climate change. The paper should be comprised of 3 parts: Introduction to Public Health At the beginning of your paper, you should provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of public health – what is it, what does it cover, why is it important? You should have both breadth (ensure you give the reader a broad overview of public health) and depth (to prepare the reader for the three events you will discuss). Public Health Events/Issues You should examine the three (3) current public health-issues. For each: • Provide comprehensive background information on the event or issue under debate • Identify why this is a critical issue to the population and in the field of public health • Describe the extent of the media coverage surrounding this event or issue • Cite one reputable source and one media source to support your description Public Health in Our Society In the final section of the paper, discuss how public health is viewed in today’s society, in the public, and in the media. Are there implications for how we perceive public health, based on what we see in the media? What does it mean for how public health is viewed in our world? What can we do to improve society’s understanding of public health? Final Paper Guidelines • You must use formal, third-person language in the paper. • You must use at least 4 reputable sources in the paper to support your statements: one for each of the three public health events/issues, and another one of your choosing. In addition, each public health event/issue must have a media-related citation, for a total of 3 media sources. • References must be properly cited in your paper, either in APA or AMA format. • Minimum of 2000 words in the body of your paper, Not including title page or references.

Sources of Public Health Information : • Peer-reviewed journals • Universities and other research-based organizations, for example: o Kaiser Family Foundation o Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center o COVID Tracking Project and the COVID Racial Data Tracker o OurWorldinData.org o Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (healthdata.org) o HealthMap.org • Government Agencies: o US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies, such as: AHRQ, CDC, CMS, FDA, HRSA, IHS, NIH [and all their sub-agencies], OCR, SAMHSA o HealthyPeople2030 • Nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and professional organizations o WHO o American Public Health Association o Academy Health o Gates Foundation • Beware of: o Websites that contain the suffix “lo” (e.g., Newslo) or that end in “.com.co”. These often present false information for satirical or other purposes. o Websites that urge you to dox an individual or organization o Websites that have amateurish design, use ALL CAPS, and try to play on your emotions. Those are often a sign that information is not trustworthy and that you should research it further via other sources o Memes making the rounds on Facebook or other social media sites Try googling the topic of a meme or other doubtful story: if it is a legitimate news story, you’ll probably find it covered by an established source like a major newspaper or TV news channel o Clickbait: Sensationalist headlines and odd photos whose purpose is not to publish legitimate news but to increase traffic at a website.

Type 2 Diabetes Epidemiology and Background Type 2 diabetes is a condition that emerges due to the body’s inability to produce enough insulin. Alternatively, type 2 diabetes can also be a result of the body becoming insensitive to insulin. Adults are at more risk of developing diabetes than children. There are also ethnic differences where African and Asian ancestry people are at a higher risk as young adults. A primary risk factor for diabetes is genetics. Individuals with a close family member who has diabetes are at an increased risk of developing the disease. The importance of family history is because specific gene mutations make an individual at risk of diabetes. Lifestyle plays a prominent role in the onset of the condition. Everything from diet to exercise routine can put individuals at high risk. There is an excellent correlation between a sedentary lifestyle and type 2 diabetes. A recurrent theme is that obesity is a significant indicator of people with diabetes or at risk (1). However, apart from genetics, certain factors are better predictors for the onset of type 2 diabetes. These include body mass index, high blood pressure, and history of gestational diabetes. In the world, Western countries have the highest prevalence rates of diabetes because they have higher living standards. However, prevalence rates in the world are increasing more so in Asia. Currently, China leads the world in the number of confirmed cases (1). An indication that higher standards of living and shifting to a sedentary lifestyle increases cases. Approximations indicate that there are currently 400 million people living with type 2 diabetes; the figure will rise to about 600 million in 2040 as poor nations develop and improve standards of living (1). I would explain this different than being due to higher living standards. You need to explain the link: does having money in the bank and a warm house cause diabetes. Pathophysiology In a normal functioning system, insulin from the pancreas can regulate the glucose level in the blood. After eating, there is a buildup of glucose; the pancreas’ beta cells produce insulin which stimulates cells to assimilate glucose as a source of energy (2). The liver is also stimulated to absorb unutilized glucose in the blood. The process also leads to the uptake and synthesis of fat. On the other hand, low insulin will prompt the release of glucose and the breakdown of protein. Type 2 diabetes primarily affects insulin sensitivity of the beta cells and adjacent tissues; it causes a defect in insulin receptors responsible for insulin’s effects. (2) As a result, the body can no longer produce insulin to adjust glucose levels in the blood. Therefore, cells cannot adequately utilize glucose. A person with type 2 diabetes will experience an increase in blood sugar after eating; however, their bodies will not appropriately respond, leading to the symptoms of type 2 diabetes such as excessive hunger or thirst. You should also talk about how physical inactivity contributes to development of diabetes and how a lack of PA worsens condition post diagnosis. References: 1.
