NR503 Population Health Epidemiology and Statistical Principles

Week 7 Discussion Global and Environmental Health

Purpose: This discussion board content is intended to facilitate learning for students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The use of discussions provides students with opportunities to contribute graduate-level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe, caring, and fluid environment that models professional and social interaction. The ebb and flow of a discussion is based upon the composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for a relevant scholarship. Participation in the discussion generates opportunities for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty. Discussions foster the development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas and inquiries, consider perspectives that may be different from their own, and integrate knowledge from other disciplines. Activity Learning Outcomes Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to: Inspect the relationship between the environment and global health (CO7). Appraise global health problems considering WHO SDG’s as well as related epidemiological data (CO7).
