Applying your knowledge of global health actors and reliable global epidemiological information sources, provide data on an infectious disease – e.g., HIV, TB, malaria, diarrheal disease – for a reference country and for one additional country from a WHO region other than the one in which your reference country is located.
DO NOT CHOOSE A COUNTRY WHERE THE INFECTIOUS DISEASE RATE IN THE REGION IS 0%. For example, malaria is a tropical disease that is not endemic to northern hemispheric regions. So using Iceland as a reference country for malaria would not be informative.
Use the following directions to locate the indicated pieces of information and fill in the table:
Go to IHMEs GBD Compare ToolLinks to an external site.
Go to plot view (second from bottom at far left).
Go to advanced settings.
In the “Cause” drop-down menu, select your infectious disease focus and indicate it by modifying the top row of your table.
Select the “Measure,” starting with “DALYs” (then change to “Incidence” and “Deaths”).
Select your reference country. (After completing everything for the reference country column, repeat all these procedures with your comparison country.)
In “Ages”, keep “all ages” (default setting).
In “Sex”, keep “both” (default setting).
In “Units”, select “rate”.
Turn “Uncertainty” to “off”.
Keep “Value” as “observed” (default).
At the bottom of the plot table, select “Sex” (third view from left) to begin.
Hover over the data point on the table to the far right (“Both” on X-axis). That will indicate the “Overall” number.
Hover over the data point on the table to the far left (“Male” on X-axis). That will indicate the “male” number.
Hover over the middle data point on the table (“Female” on X-axis). That will indicate the “female” number.
To answer the age quintile questions, go back to the bottom of the plot table and change the view to “Age.”
Locate the highest point in the Y-axis. When you hover over it, you will see the corresponding X coordinate as an age range.
Next, draft an essay that discusses why these two countries have similar (or different) disease burdens. Your analysis should consider such factors as cultural, economic, behavioral, environmental, and biological attributes of each country, the distribution of resources within each population, and the ability of each country’s health system to prevent, diagnose, and treat the disease. You should incorporate the table into the body of your paper.
As this assignment asks you to explore health and demographic data about select countries. Here are some great resources to help you find the data you need for the analytical portion of the paper:
1. UW’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)Links to an external site.
You should use the IHMEs GBD Compare Tool (https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-compare/ Links to an external site.) as described above to fill in the data for the table. It is a great resource for visualizing data, seeing trends, and comparing regions and countries. This tool allows you to easily and quickly use the selection bar on the right to dynamically create visual representations of your chosen country and the disease or condition of your choice.
2. WHOLinks to an external site.
The WHOs Global Health Observatory (https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/countries Links to an external site.) also has many health statistics. After clicking on your country, explore the “country data and statistics” and “country pro les”.
3. World BankLinks to an external site.
The World Bank (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ Links to an external site.) has many development indicators. You can explore by searching the indicators and then adding your country or clicking on the “By Country” tab at the top of the page.
4. Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)Links to an external site.
DHS is a USAID-funded project that carries out surveys in low-income countries receiving US foreign aid. Each DHS has extensive data about specific countries and can be found here: https://dhsprogram.com/Where-We-Work/Country-List…. Links to an external site..
5. UNDPLinks to an external site.
The United Nations Development Program (http://hdr.undp.org/en/country-reports Links to an external site.) also collects many development indicators and has some excellent maps available too.
Other quality data sources are acceptable, as long as they are properly cited. Be sure to check your source with our reference library resource (https://rutgers.libapps.com/libapps/lti_launch_aut… Links to an external site.) linked as “Rutgers Libraries” at the bottom of the Canvas course navigation menu to the left.
In addition to the guidelines laid out in the Grading Rubric for Research Papers, you should also consider the following:
– Are your “Reference Country” and “One Additional Country” explicitly and accurately identified and labeled in the table?
– Is your data table completely filled in?
– Do your “Data” (numbers) corresponded to the countries indicated?
– Have you used reliable, quality information (qualitative, peer-reviewed journal articles)?
– Have you used your sources effectively in synthesizing the quantitative information/data in your table?
– Does your analysis include discussion of the role played by biological, social, environmental, cultural, and economic factors in shaping human health and disease in your countries?
Please conform to APA Style for this assignment. You can find resources associated with APA Style at https://library.albany.edu/cfox Links to an external site.. Other excellent resources for doing better research can be found in the form of tutorials at https://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/tutorials Links to an external site..

The details should be clearly described in the attached images which are the assignment screenshot, and two screenshots of the rubric that we’re expected to follow. There is no specific number of sources required but it says to cite them if you use them so one-three sources should be just fine. Message me anytime and let me know if you have any additional questions!

Research Question: How do 12th graders’ frequency of Cocaine /Crack differ by race/ethnicity among students over 18 and students under 18 (age) in the past-month?
Introduction:
The introduction section establishes what your research project is, why you are doing it and any necessary background information the audience needs to understand the project. The idea is to start with the most broad information first, and then narrow in on your specific topic and hypotheses. For example, if you were studying race differences in stress exposure, you would want to define what stress exposure is. You would then talk about the importance of studying stress exposure by race/ethnicity, and then what aspects of race and stress exposure that have not been studied yet. You can then lead to explaining your research project, why it fills that knowledge gap, and why it is significant. Lastly, detail your alternative hypotheses in this section toward the end. This section is usually around one to two paragraphs.
Start researching some background literature for your introduction section of the poster.You should aim to include at least 4-5 references/citations in your introduction.
