Overview
In this assignment, you will explain the basic principles and tools for budget and resource management. You will then apply those principles to a community health improvement project budget. Please start with a brief description of the project you envision as an introduction, and then present a modest budget including justification and proposed management of expenditures. Reasonable estimates of budget items are appropriate and acceptable. Please add a management plan to keep budget spending on track, and document readiness to deal with unexpected situations or deviations.
It is essential that each component is included in your submission (explanation of basic principles, tools of budgeting, resource management, reasonable tracking methods, and citations).

You will look into the history and current status of this disease, checking reliable websites (not Wikipedia), the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, and other scholarly sites. Then proceed to examining causation of disease. Chapters 14 & 16 in Celentano et al. (2025) discuss the epidemiological process of linking causes to disease, starting with association, and progressing to causation. We will conclude with looking at the incidence and prevalence of each disease.
Use headings that correspond to the required bullets.
1. Share with your colleagues:
• Discuss your disease condition include details on historical background and current status.
• Discuss incidence/prevalence at a local, state, national, and global level. If you are unable to find the data for all levels indicate that.
• Has there been a change in the disease incidence and prevalence over a period of time and why?
• Apply a minimum of 2 epidemiological concepts/principles that are discussed in chapters 1-3 in Celentano and Szklo (2019), that relate to the journey of the disease through time.
• What is the community and global impact (or effect) of the disease?
• Please identify any and all relevant environmental, genetic, social, physical, psychological, or other factors that have a causal disease association and why?
• What public health measures have been taken to reduce the prevalence of the disease?
• Include at least one reference/resource from your course materials and at least one additional source besides your texts and readings that is a peer reviewed scholarly article within the last 5 years.

Please read the summary, then complete the reading assignment and prepare a disc

Please read the summary, then complete the reading assignment and prepare a discussion post:
Summary: Women have different physiological make up contributing to differences in the effects of pharmacological agents. This lesson will assist you in understanding some of the differences between men and women. Some aspects of the reading will get into rather detailed and cellular aspects. Students are not expected to understand these details. However, when the readings discuss specific enzymes, for example, rather than knowing each of the enzymes, simply recognize the broader picture that different enzymes are involved in the pharmacokinetics.
The goal is to understand broadly, the physiological differences that impact pharmacology in women. Consider for example, what an individual might need to know about medications. Perhaps you are counseling someone who is indicating they are having significant side effects or the medication isn’t as effective as they expected. Your knowledge of pharmacology in women would assist you in guiding the individual in the community setting.
Major points include the differences in women are based on differences in:
Absorption
Distribution
Metabolism
Elimination
Other effects include those related to fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone that change with menstrual cycles, pregnancy, menopause, and the effects of hormonal birth control. Sections to read include:
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
absorption
distribution
metabolism
elimination
influence of the gut microbiome
influence of sex-specific factors

or this discussion, you will analyze a case study in public health from the textbook, Master of Public Health Competencies: A Case Study Approach. Please review the following case study from this text:
Chapter 14: Photovoice as a Tool for Change: Engaging the Community in Public Health Advocacy
This case study was based on real public health initiatives; therefore, your engagement in this discussion will help you hone workforce-related skills for public health practice.
For your initial post, you will develop a fact sheet that advocates for policies and programs to improve the health of a diverse population. Imagine that you are a public health program manager collaborating with legislators on policy to address the public health concern within this case study. In a recent meeting with legislators, it was clear that they may need a quick reference on the facts related to this issue. You are tasked with developing a one-page fact sheet for distribution to members of a U.S. congressional subcommittee (which approves funding for your public health programs). Use Microsoft Word to create this fact sheet. Attach your fact sheet to your main post.
In the fact sheet, you will focus on health equity and social determinants as the content used for advocacy purposes. Please make certain that your fact sheet contains all of the following:
Public health concern: Briefly summarize the public health concern.
Structural bias, social inequities, and racism: Explain the systematic discrimination that may contribute to the public health concern.
Achieving health equity: Provide examples of public health efforts that attempt to address these systemic challenges. You should provide one example for each of the following levels:
Organizational-level example
Community-level example
Societal-level example

Overview
NCCHPP (2012) has outlined a framework for analyzing public policy. These dimensions include the effects (i.e., effectiveness, unintended effects, equity) and implementation (i.e., cost, feasibility, acceptability) of policy. In this journal assignment, you will use this framework to analyze a policy that pertains to public health surveillance at the state or national level.
Prompt
Your journal assignment will have three parts, as detailed below:
Part 1: Policy Identification
For your journal entry, identify a policy that pertains to public health surveillance at the state or national level. Begin your journal entry with a (brief) summary of this policy. Then you will proceed with policy evaluation.
Part 2: Policy Evaluation
This section of the prompt is designed to assess your ability to apply the NCCHPP’s framework. You will evaluate the policy identified in Part 1 using the framework’s six dimensions: effectiveness, unintended effects, equity, cost, feasibility, and acceptability.
You will appraise each policy dimension described in the outline below. The questions for each sub-dimension are directly taken from the framework’s appendix (page 12). Not all of the questions will pertain to the policy that you have identified. You will select and answer one relevant question in each sub-dimension to demonstrate your ability to apply the framework.
This part of the prompt will be assessed using the following criteria:
Accurate: The response is free from errors of fact or interpretation and includes precise details.
Relevant: The selected question is appropriately related to the policy.
Comprehensive: The response addresses all important aspects of the question.
Coherent: The response demonstrates logical and consistent analysis of the policy.
Dimension A: Policy Effects
Sub-dimension A1: Effectiveness Apply the effectiveness dimension of the NCCHPP’s framework by selecting one of the following questions:
What are the effects (positive, neutral, negative) of the public policy under study on the targeted health problem?
How effective is this policy in terms of its intermediate effects?
Is the intervention logic of this policy plausible?
How does the implementation context influence this policy’s effectiveness?
How much time is needed before effects can be observed, and do these effects persist over time?
Sub-dimension A2: Unintended effects Apply the unintended effects dimension of the NCCHPP’s framework by selecting one of the following questions:
Does the policy under study produce unintended effects, whether positive or negative?
How can the negative unintended effects be mitigated?
Sub-dimension A3: Equity Apply the equity dimension of the NCCHPP’s framework by selecting one of the following questions:
What are the effects (intended or unintended) of the policy under study on different groups?
Does this policy create, reinforce, or correct social inequalities in health?
Dimension B: Policy Implementation
Sub-dimension B1: Cost Apply the cost dimension of the NCCHPP’s framework by selecting one of the following questions:
What are the financial costs and gains for the government? For other actors (industry, community organizations, consumers, taxpayers, etc.)?
How are the costs distributed over time?
To what extent are the costs apparent?
How do the costs of the policy under study compare with those of other potential policies, including that of inaction?
What is the cost effectiveness of the policy under study for the government? For society?
Sub-dimension B2: Feasibility Apply the feasibility dimension of the NCCHPP’s framework by selecting one of the following questions:
Are the required human, material, and technological resources available?
Does the policy being studied fall under the legal jurisdiction of the authority who wishes to adopt it? Is it in conformity with existing legislation?
Is this policy a follow-up to a pilot program?
Can this policy be administered by preexisting mechanisms?
Is the authority promoting this policy also the one that will implement it? If not, how many different actors are involved in implementing this policy? Are they effectively guided by the policy’s promoters? Do they cooperate well?
Do the opponents of this policy have the ability to interfere with its adoption? Its implementation?
Sub-dimension B3: Acceptability Apply the acceptability dimension of the NCCHPP’s framework by selecting one of the following questions:
Which actors are, or would be, affected by the public policy under consideration?
Is the problem targeted by this policy considered a social issue that requires intervention?
What are stakeholders’ reactions to the idea of intervening to address this problem?
How do stakeholders think the issue should be addressed?
What do stakeholders think of the proposed policy (e.g., of its effectiveness, its unintended effects, its equitability, its cost, and its feasibility, the degree of coercion it involves)?
What do stakeholders think of the conditions surrounding adoption and implementation of this policy?
Can the policy’s acceptability evolve during the period in which it is being implemented?
Part 3: Impact on Public Health and Equity
Conclude your journal entry by describing the impact this policy has on public health and health equity. Ensure your response includes the following:
A descriiption of the vulnerable population/community
The health inequity (i.e., health disparity) addressed or created by the policy—and then a reflection on how health equity may be achieved.
The relevant social determinants of health associated with the population/community.

Prompt
For this discussion, you will analyze a case study in public health from the textbook, Master of Public Health Competencies: A Case Study Approach, edited by Santella. Please review the following case study from this text:
Chapter 6: “Centering Wellness: Using Black Feminist Literature as a Public Health Pedagogical Tool for Personal Healing, Community Health, and Social Justice” https://web.archive.org/web/20240502225129/https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dch/programs/healthycommunitiesprogram/tools/pdf/sdoh-workbook.pdf
This case study was based on real public health initiatives. Therefore, your engagement in this discussion will help you hone workforce-related skills for public health practice.
For your initial/main post, please address all of the following:
How does Black Feminist theory and praxis apply to combating health inequities?
We tend to center “illness” in public health, rather than focusing on “wellness.” How does the concept of wellness relate to health inequity for Black communities? Provide an example.
In relation to health status, provide an example of structural discrimination (racism, specifically) at the (1) organizational; (2) community; and (3) societal levels. Please explain each factor and its impact on health status.
In all posts, please make certain to include in-text citations throughout and a reference list.
