5-2 Milestone Four: Public Health Response (Who And How?)

Overview: This assignment constitutes the fourth step of your final project. The final project is a 10-slide presentation exploring public health goals and a public
health response to a health problem.
Prompt: You will examine and summarize the public health responses to your selected issue/topic by identifying who is involved and what actions they are
taking (the “who” and the “how”).
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
IV. Public Health Response: In this section, you will inspect the public health landscape to identify who is involved in responding to your public health issue
and what actions they are taking.
A. Describe the public health organizations involved in the response to the public health issue at the national and local levels. Use examples that
show which entities are working on the issue and what they are doing. For example, what federal and local agencies and/or not-for-profit
entities are involved, and what are their roles in the response?
B. Explain the specific public health subdisciplines involved in understanding and responding to the issue, including what their roles are. Examples
of public health subdisciplines include biostatistics, epidemiology, maternal and child health, and disaster-response planning.
C. Explain the public health services involved in the response to the issue. What types of services, programs, or campaigns have been offered by
organizations in response to the problem? Be sure to provide examples.
Use the Public Health Interventions Worksheet to enter your descriptions. Your instructor will review your work and provide feedback and possibly suggestions.
Note that you are using the same worksheet as you did in Milestone Three in the previous module.
