Overview: For your final project, you will complete an epidemiological research study report based on the provided research study, “Salmonella in the
Caribbean.” Throughout the course, you will complete milestone assignments that are drafts of specific sections of the final project. Because these milestone
assignments are drafts of the final project, you will notice that some critical elements in the rubric are identical to those in the Final Project Rubric.
In your first Milestone, you reviewed the research study and analyzed the health issue at the core of the research study. In this second Milestone, you will
summarize key elements of the research study and analyze the population impacted by the health issue. Additionally, you will complete Part F of the
Health Issue section, in which you will draw connections between the population and public health issue.
Prompt: To begin, review the final project research study, “Salmonella in the Caribbean.” Then, address the following critical elements in your short paper:
I. Population: In this section of your final project, you will summarize key elements of the research study and analyze the population impacted by the
health issue.
A. Summarize the people, places, and times represented in the research study to provide context for your report.
B. Describe three social and behavioral determinants strongly associated with the public health issue in the research study. Be sure to cite specific
examples from the research study to support your description.
C. Describe three known disparities associated with the health of the specific population. Be sure to cite specific examples from the research
study to support your description.
D. Explain how the identified social and behavioral determinants relate to the disparities you identified, and explain your reasoning.
II. Health Issue:
F. Using your research and analysis, draw connections between the population and public health issue. Consider where you identified common
elements, what you learned about the public health issue by studying the population, and what you learned about the population by studying
the public health issue.
