The Personal Impact of an Emerging Issue
In this discussion, you will assume the role of the parent advocate aggrieved by your chosen emerging issue.
Roleplay Scenario
You will be speaking in a community meeting and making the case for the importance of the emerging issue by showing how it has personally affected you, your family, and the community.
Introduce and describe yourself by incorporating some of the social determinants outlined by the CDC and in the unit readings.
Note: You will be speaking as a concerned citizen to other citizens—not as a doctoral candidate or a public health professional. Therefore, no references will be used in your short presentation. That would interrupt the flow and the purpose of this discussion . However, you need to back up your position with credible sources, so will need to note references for any outside sources you use. Follow the guidelines in the FEM as you prepare your initial post.
