Our understanding of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes has advanced tremendously in the second half of the twentieth century. We are still learning about these diseases, however, and discovering what treatments are most effective and how they should be administered. For this assignment, you will pick
either
cardiovascular disease
or
diabetes and do some research to identify potential treatments or prevention methods for the disease you've chosen.
Then, in a 1-2 page paper, you will compare 2 treatments or prevention methods for the disease you've chosen.Using at least 2 peer-reviewed sources found through the University Libraries, you will describe the treatments/prevention methods and outline the evidence for and/or against their effectiveness. Then, you will conclude by assessing whether one treatment/prevention method is better than the other and speculating if they might work if used together.
Your paper should be approximately 1-2 single spaced pagesand include the following sections:
1) Introduction where you discuss the disease you've chosen and why it is an important health condition
2) Description of the first treatment/prevention method, along with its effectiveness (supported by evidence)
3) Description of the second treatment/prevention method, along with its effectiveness (supported by evidence)
4) Analysis of whether one treatment/prevention method seems to be more effective than another and whether or not they might be effective if used together
5) Conclusion
