In public health, it is common and extremely useful to convey a message through a visual. The purpose of this assignment is to take what you have learned thus far on poverty, health, the burden of infectious and communicable diseases, and their impact on global health’s mortality and morbidity rates, and create a visual to represent a health issue in a lower- to middle-income country. Part 1: Select a health issue in a lower- to middle-income country (the United States is not low- or middle-income) to design an infographic for the Minister of Health to help depict the definitions of the following words that can be utilized to design or incorporate in laws and policies: Equity Health Equity Equality Justice Inequality Gender Equity Gender Equality Part 2: In 250-500 words, provide background for the health issue. In the background, discuss the cause of the selected issue. Explain why this issue should be addressed. Evaluate how social and economic inequalities impact how the health issue is addressed. While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
