Public Health Blackboard Discussion

Identify a public health concern that interests you. Examples of such a concern are tobacco, coronary disease, obesity, MERS, or COVID-19. Describe what data would be important to know about this concern and how studying public health would be beneficial in addressing it. What types of surveillance methods do you think would be most effective to help contain the situation and why?

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed reference in supporting your answer. These scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search. Use APA 7th edition and Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards.

You are required to reply to at least two of your peers’ answer posts to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post’s answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies, but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
