The community may include current places of employment, health care service area, hospital, nursing home, church, school, etc. When selecting a disease, decide which public health problem is most pressing for this particular community.

Information about the disease (history, causes, treatment options if any, etc)
Possible solutions for reducing the disease in a selected community
Data regarding the number of people affected by the disease
Economic impact on the community
Resources such as Internet sites, books, articles or other related materials to increase the communitys awareness The final product for this presentation is a PowerPoint presentation with 12-15 slides and detailed speaker notes. Utilize a minimum of two research sources, with one from UOP Library and the other from rEsource to support your claims.
