Scenario
You are preparing to speak at a global health conference about a disease affecting a global population. You plan to present the incidence and prevalence of the disease within the population and discuss efforts to control, eliminate, and eradicate the disease.
Instructions
Select a disease impacting a population outside of the United States. Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
• Explain the disease (1 slide)
• Describe the population affected by the disease, including demographics (1 slide)
• Present the incidence and prevalence of the disease within the population (1 slide)
• Use the notes section of this slide to explain the difference, in your own words, between incidence and prevalence.
• Discuss efforts to control, eliminate, and eradicate the disease (1 slide)
• Use the notes section of this slide to analyze the effectiveness of these efforts.
Sample Answer
To address your global health conference scenario, I have designed a structured overview for a 5-slide presentation focusing on Tuberculosis (TB) in India. India provides a compelling case study as it bears the world’s highest burden of TB but has recently implemented one of the most ambitious and technologically advanced elimination programs in global health history.To address your global health conference scenario, I have designed a structured overview for a 5-slide presentation focusing on Tuberculosis (TB) in India.
