For your final project, you will select a public health issue for analysis. The topic must be approved by the instructor.

This analysis will give you the opportunity to explore a public health issue in depth and analyze various components, including a program or intervention that has been designed in order to improve or eradicate the health issue.

Information should come from credible sources; in today's information-rich age, it can be sometimes be difficult to distinguish between credible and non-credible sources.
