Students are expected to describe the legal process of STIs in Florida. Out-of-state students may describe the legalities involved in the state of their residency. A rubric will be posted in the Moodle portal. The paper should be a narrative following the APA 7th edition format and must include the following:
· Reportable diseases in the United States
· Reportable and non-reportable diseases in Florida or the state of the student’s current residency.
· Diagnostic tests including collection, transport, storage, time for processing, most and least used, and expected findings
· Most current treatment and patient recommendations.
· Impact of STIs and cost-effectiveness of prevention.
· References from peer-reviewed resources within the past five years.
