Project: Final Project Component 3: Health Determinants What are health determinants and how do they relate to global health issues? Health determinants are factors that influence the health of a population. These factors may be, biological, socioeconomic, psychosocial, behavioral, or social in nature (CDC, 2014). As you research the global health issue of your selected country, you will gain insight to many factors that might lead to an unhealthy population or health issue. In addition, you may find variances when comparing global health issues between different countries that help to account for the differences observed in health determinants. As a current or future health professional, you may discover that addressing health determinants is the primary approach to achieving health equity (CDC, 2014). For the last component of your Final Project, you examine global health issues as they relate to the country you selected. You also look at vulnerable populations affected by this global health issue and compare it to other countries. To prepare: Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the health determinants that contribute to the global health issue and country you selected. The Assignment (2–3 pages): Explain the magnitude of this global health issue, including the determinants as they apply to the country you selected. Describe the vulnerable population most affected by this global health issue, and explain which determinants might contribute to this vulnerability. Compare this global health issue for the country you selected to one other country that is similar and one other country that is different (geographical or economic level, according to the World Bank classification) in the global context. Be sure to include the statistical and health data to support your research. Please note: the project is continuation of what I have submitted. Title is ZIKA VIRUS IN UNITED STATES.. Here is the instructor comment on the last one I submitted: Temitope, your assignment was a good start, but fell somewhat short in terms of the content. You identified some health indicators by name, but most of them are not really associated with Zika virus disease in the US. For example, the major impact of this disease is on those children born of Zika infected mothe590185rs, but you didn't identify these. Also, your discussion of the healthcare system in US was very minimal. I also would like to see you identify specific health indicators that might be related to your own project. Please develop this aspect of your final project as the course continues.
