WomenS Health Final Report

Students should produce a four- page report based on their awareness/prevention campaign about a health policy/ disease affecting women’s health locally, nationally, or internationally. It can be a health policy brief or a public health campaign. The intention of generating this report should be well-organized and informative. For both options, think about what one would prepare for a letter to teach and stimulate conversation with stakeholders. 

This is a chance for the student to practice effective public health communication through investigating their selected topic of interest more deeply and organizing materials in a way that would facilitate educating stakeholders and peers in class. The report should have a small bibliography with relevant articles and websites. Grade will be based on the quality of the report in terms of accuracy, references to peer-reviewed literature, comprehensiveness, objectivity, creativity/ visual aid and grammar/spelling. Report must be double-spaced, font size 12, properly referenced using APA style (where applicable), proofread, and page numbered. Use Times New Roman font style.

You need to think of this final report as a public health report / brief. Your main purpose is to provide a briefing on a women’s health issue among an immigrant/ refugee group in the United States or another country. You need to consider your audience as stakeholders who you need to convince to take action. Action entails funding for intervention, prevention, or research project for a policy change.
