Health Problem Solution Proposal CLO 2, 3, 4, 5
The objective of this assignment is to outline a health plan proposal addressing a public health problem in your area of interest. “Public health problem” means it affects groups of people. The health problem may be related to a disease or condition, a behavior, various disaster scenarios, a lack of knowledge, etc. Your solution must be reasonable for administration to the appropriate group/s and should be East Asian Medicine-based.
The proposal outline should be 3 pages + a title page and reference page. In the text, provide a reference (in-text citation) for anything you write that is not your own original thought. Use APA format for the paper and references. See the academic integrity section in your course syllabus.
The proposals will be informally presented in class in a roundtable discussion format.
