Include the following sections (detailed criteria listed below and in the grading rubric)

  1. Prevalent Infectious and Chronic Diseases
    1. Describe the selected geographic region.
    2. Identify the prevalent infectious and chronic diseases in the region.

    2. Discuss physical and social determinants of health that influence the disease process.
    3. Identify and explain one epidemiological model that will be applied to the selected disease (e.g., Epidemiological Triangle, Web of Causation, or another legitimate epidemiological model).
    4. Apply the epidemiological model to the selected disease in a well-developed, comprehensive manner, addressing the entire model.
    5. Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing.

  2. Goals and objectives that are measurable, shared, and hypothetically agreed on by all key stakeholders. They are directly linked to the concept of project success factors.
  3. What variables need to be considered and and whether or not you have control over them.   
    • For example, if you were to implement a clinic-wide practice change, would budget be an issue and how would you address that variable?
    • If you were to implement your study, consider how would you gather data. Would you choose the qualitative or quantitative method?
  4. An explanation of what your research will provide to the community, or to social change.
  5. A description of the desired outcomes: Specifically, state the purpose, focus, and viewpoint of the project as well as its expected accomplishments.
    • While you may not be implementing your project, you should have a goal in mind that relates to solving your problem.
    • Establish a timeline for accomplishing your project goal(s).

This section should be 3–4 pages in length, not including the cover or reference page, and should address the intended outcomes of your project. You must reference a minimum of 3 scholarly articles.
