PUB 510 Levels of prevention

Evidence is important in understanding and making decisions regarding public health. Empirical articles serve as credible sources of support because they provide or describe evidence based on research. Empirical articles describe original research or the results of a study.

Begin by researching major causes and trends in morbidity and mortality in the United States. Once you have completed your research, identify one health issue related to morbidity and mortality. Locate three empirical articles from the GCU Library related to primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention, one for each level of prevention, including health promotion and screening related to the health issue you have identified in your research. Utilize the “PUB-510 Levels of Prevention Matrix” in order to evaluate your chosen articles.

Your selected articles must have been published within the last 5 years, and the information discussed in your matrix must be paraphrased/summarized.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Extra Credit Article Summaries

The purpose of this assignment is to write a summary on a news article or video about microbiology, microorganisms, or diseases caused by pathogens (virus, bacterium, protist, fungus, or helminth). Make sure to find and summarize your own articles – do not use the same article as another student, and do not copy from others. Each Summary is worth up to 6 points added to your lowest test grade.

Articles must be a news piece no more than 3 months old, and must have a length of at least 250 words. A news video must be at least 1.5 minutes. A general educational summary or encyclopedia-style article will not count – it must be current events news. Do not use articles posted or covered by the instructor.

Summary Format
Put the title, date the article was published, and source of the article as the heading of your summary.

First Paragraph: In 50 to 75 words, write a summary of the article. Describe what subjects the article talks about, but keep it concise!

Second Paragraph: Address the following questions: 1) “How is this information relevant to me?” and 2) “How is this information connected to microbiology content studied in class?” There is no word limit for this paragraph, but try to keep the entire abstract at 1-2 pages.

Bottom: Put the web browser URL of the article or video at the end. Double check the URL; if the article can’t be found, the abstract can’t be graded. You may wish to save a copy in case there is a problem.

How to Find Articles
When searching, use general terms if you get too few choices and specific terms if you get too many
News Web Sites: The Health and Science sections of Google News (news.google.com) are useful sites for current news. Reputable websites that post news articles should be used. Good examples are USA Today, ABC News, Reuters, Associated Press, WBTV, Charlotte Observer. Do not use newsletters, reviews, personal essays, social media, and websites that are unprofessional or ‘sketchy’.

CCC’s Summon Tool: Go to http://clevelandcc.summon.serialssolutions.com This will take you to a page where you can type in what you are interested in, and pull up articles from multiple sources and databases. Can use on campus or off campus with username and password. Click on and download the articles you want to use. Be sure you save the complete article URL.

Operations scenario 6.2

Your organization is experiencing a drop-off in business due to the opening of a newer, more technologically advanced, and better capitalized organization down the street. This organization is owned by one of your former “star” producers, and while they are definitely not hostile on a personal level, this person still wants to take your part of the (you fill in the blank) segment of business. Aside from marketing, which is important but is not a part of this problem, discuss how you will achieve greater efficiency/effectiveness through implementing better project planning, utilization of EBP, supply chain management, or whatever else you think may be possible (given your facility’s existing operational data) to minimize the impact of this new challenger for your business.
