HCS 457 Week 2 Summative Assessment: Public Health Presentation

Presentation Content

1.

As a public health analyst (currently reporting to an epidemiologist), you will

focus on analyzing the relationship between epidemiology and public

health. Your skill in public health is essential to promoting health in your

community, regardless of which health care sector your future career takes you

to. The PERIE model is a tool you’ll use to analyze each component of a given

health issue for successful implementation through action plans and positive

change outcomes.

Preparation

Review the PERIE model and process described in Ch. 2, “Evidence-Based

Public Health,” of your course textbook, Public Health 101: Improving Community

Health (3rd ed.). 

“Public health is first and foremost a state responsibility. States may retain their

authority, voluntarily request, or accept help from the federal government, or

delegate their responsibility and/or authority to locate agencies at the city, county,

or other local levels” (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2019, p. 251).

Watch the following video as you prepare for the assessment:
