Application of Epidemiology

Investigate population health and epidemiological data to learn about prevalent disease trends within your geographic region. Compare and contrast your findings with disease rates and trends in a different geographic area of your choosing.

Statistics from valid, reliable sources such as professional population health-focused organizations, governmental agencies, local and state health departments, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are appropriate sources to validate assessment findings.

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.
    3. Compare and contrast the prevalence of those diseases in a separate geographic region of your choosing, noting similarities and differences.
    4. Discuss the variables that contribute to the noted similarities and differences.
    5.  Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing. 
  2. Application of the Epidemiological Model
    1. Select and describe one of the prevalent diseases noted in the previous section.
    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. 
  3. Levels of Prevention
    1. Explain the levels of prevention used within population health practice.
    2. Discuss one primary prevention to address the disease.
    3. Discuss one secondary prevention to address the disease.
    4. Discuss one tertiary prevention to address the disease.
    5. Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing. 
  4. Reflection
    1. Describe how the advanced practice nurse can monitor the application and efficacy of the prevention strategy.
    2. Discuss how you will apply the identified prevention strategies in your practice.
    3. Reflect on what you have learned from this assignment.

    • 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.
