Evaluate your global health knowledge by assessing an emerging global health issue (GHI). Address factors that exacerbate the issue and develop a plan for improvement.

Present information about an identified GHI that is of importance to your patient population.

Imagine you are a nurse working with Doctors Without Borders to address an emerging GHI in a specific country or region of the world. You are preparing to travel to the country or region to improve an issue or illness. Your director has requested that you prepare a presentation about the issue or illness for your fellow staff.

Choose an emerging health issue within a specific country or region (e.g., sex trafficking occurring in the U.S. states bordering Mexico). 

Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, with detailed speaker notes, in which you analyze an emerging GHI related to the country or region of the world of your choice.

Include the following in your presentation:
• Clearly summarize your chosen GHI and explain how and why this issue impacts populations within your chosen country or region.
• Analyze the cause of the GHI. Consider:
• Individual issues (e.g., personal hygiene)
• Community (e.g., resources, demographics)
• Family roles and structures (e.g., single-parent households)
• Culture (e.g., values, beliefs)
• Environmental issues (e.g., access to technology and healthcare, geographic concerns)
