Explain the medical viewpoint of this health issue.

/in /by

One of the most important things we can do in this course is distinguish between the sociological viewpoint toward health and illness and strictly clinical or medical viewpoints toward health and illness. For example, it is crucial that we understand how sociology incorporates issues of race, class, gender, language, and so forth into the analysis of health and illness outcomes in society. The purpose of this assignment is for us to examine the definition of the sociological viewpoint toward health and illness, and utilize major concepts from our reading material to support this response. Instructions Construct a 5-7 page paper that fully explores each of these three areas: Identify and describe a current and major health issue that is a leading cause of mortality in the U.S. or overseas. Explain the medical viewpoint of this health issue. Explain the sociological viewpoint of this health issue. Be sure to include and apply at least 3 social concepts and one social theory learned from the course. Include at least three peer-reviewed journal articles no more than five years old (none that are provided in class) to support your explanation of how the sociological viewpoint applies to this health issue. Compare and contrast the two viewpoints (medical and social) with respect to this health issue and discuss how each viewpoint has an impact on mortality. It is a good idea to include not only mortality rates but also sources to validate your arguments. General requirements: Submissions should be typed, double-spaced, 1″ margins, times new roman 12 pt font, and saved as .doc, .docx, .pdf. Use APA format for citations and references View the grading rubric so you understand how you will be assessed on this Assignment. *******Please include this reference******** Larkin, Mary.
