Title:
Critically discuss a public health intervention you would recommend for addressing a public health problem in your country
This assignment involves you proposing a feasible intervention for a public health problem in your own country. (You can choose to focus on a particular region).
The recommended intervention needs to be based on your critical analysis of the determinants of the problem for your target population, using surveillance data and critically reviewed evidence about risk and protective factors. The discussion should provide a critical assessment of how feasible the implementation of this intervention would be for your selected target population.
