Introduction To Public Health

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research and read about various approaches to interventions and various settings in which these interventions can occur. You can also visit your local or state health department’s websites or look for journal articles that address the approaches to interventions. Based on your research, express your views on the following:

• Identify and describe a health issue or disease and recommend an intervention. You may utilize the health issue from week one or choose another issue. In your description, include social determinants or causes and data that demonstrates why this is a health issue.
• Is the intervention level (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and settings chosen justified? Why or why not?
• What are the issues surrounding implementation of the intervention and its potential success?
• What are the roles of government (Federal, State, and Local) and nongovernmental agencies in the development of the recommended prevention and/or intervention program?
