you will delve deeper into a  social problem that really interests you. It can be one of the problems  we have covered in the course, although it should be specific enough to  find data at the state level (pick one state to research). You can  choose a problem not covered in the class, but it should be social, NOT  individual. 

Assignment Instructions:

Craft a clear, illustrative presentation that describes your social  problem and discusses ways to address/alleviate the negative  consequences of the problem.. Also, include a Microsoft Word  or PDF document with notes about the presentation – OR – you may narrate  your presentation in an audio file. 

NOTE: If you were giving the presentation in person, you would  include main points on the slides and then discuss each slide further.  Since you are not actually giving the presentation, the Word/PDF  document or audio file should detail your presentation discussion. What  would you say beyond what’s included on the slides? 

Your presentation must do the following:

• SLIDE 1: Include a title slide with the title of  the presentation (incorporating your social problem), your name, the  class and instructor, the date, and a visual representing your topic  choice.  
• SLIDE 2: Give a brief overview of the problem—what  it is and what the negative consequences are. Explain why the problem is  social versus individual. 
• SLIDE 3: Present current data at the state level  from a reputable source and from within the past five years. Include at  least one chart. 

Here’s an example do not use the example. The following excerpt and chart came from

Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition

: 

“In 2022, there were 2,135 overdose deaths. This was a decrease of over 5% from 2021.
 The Office of Drug Control Policy (ODCP) states  that overdose cases autopsied by the Office of the State Medical  Examiner (OSME) and toxicology reports submitted by Kentucky coroners,  that 90% of deaths in 2022 involved opioids. Illicit fentanyl continues  to be the most prevalent drug contributing to overdose deaths,  accounting for 72.5% nationwide in 2022.
  In 2022, a total of 2,135 Kentucky residents died  from a drug overdose, representing a decrease of more than 5% from the  2,250 resident drug overdose deaths in 2021.
  A review of the resident autopsy cases by OSME and toxicology reports submitted by Kentucky.”

• SLIDE 4: List two groups impacted  by the social problem and discuss how they are affected. For example, if  you are looking at drug addiction, you might analyze the impact of  addiction on families, minorities, women, men, children, etc. Include a  link to a current news story or website that supports your discussion.
• SLIDE 5: Identify one policy, program, and/or  treatment at the state level (government-funded) that addresses the  social problem. Describe how the problem is addressed and evaluate its  effectiveness using evidence and critical thinking. Include a link to  the program. 
• SLIDE 6: Identify one policy, program, and/or  treatment at the local level (non-profit) that addresses the social  problem. Describe how the problem is addressed and evaluate its  effectiveness using evidence and critical thinking. Include a link to  the program.
• SLIDE 7: Suggest one or two innovative solutions to the social problem that draw on research, existing programs, and new technologies.
• SLIDE 8: Include a reference slide with full references in APA formatting listed in alphabetical order (by last name or organization).
