Now, consider the following checkpoints:
Question 1: Check the current state of public health prevention efforts and health care in the United States. Do you believe that then-Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump used many of the suggestions?
Question 2: Examine the "less than 50% of trackable objectives improved or met or exceeded" section. What organizations can you identify in your community, county, or state that have programs addressing these issues?
Question 3: Highlight two health programs in your state and a credible source for each that discusses its growth and impact on the community. These credible sources are sometimes referred to as Annual Reports.
Question 4: Check again at the list of "less than 50% of trackable objectives improved or met or exceeded." Which two would be the most challenging to establish a program? Explain why. Use your personal and professional background and at least one credible source to support your belief.
Question 5: In your discussion:
- Compare and Contrast U.S. Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump in relation to public health support efforts.
- How much did each give to public health prevention during their presidential terms? Account for the fact that President Obama had two terms. Refer page 14 and Figure 4-5 in Public Health: What It Is and How It Works.
- Describe at least one public health program that received support from President Obama and President Trump.
- Hypothesize why these programs may have been chosen for support over other prevention programs.
- Highlight two programs in your state addressing the "less than 50% of trackable objectives improved or met or exceeded" from Healthy People 2020.
- Explain two "less than 50% of trackable objectives improved or met or exceeded" programs that you believe would be the most challenging to implement in your state and why.
