health

Our personal and community health is a complex interaction of behavioral, genetic, environmental, social, and medical factors.  Developing knowledge about these factors and applying this knowledge to make recommendations for improving health and guiding public policy are quite challenging tasks. In your paper you are to:

Select one article to analyze from the New York Times that richly describes an issue related to personal and community health that is the subject of one of our chapters from our textbook.
You are to write a two page, typed, double-spaced, twelve-point font size analysis of this article.  In your analysis, include the main descriptions of the issues impacting personal and/or community health provided in the article, what data the author provides, how the information provided in the article relates to two concepts and/or research studies cited for that topic from the chapter that you chose from our textbook, what further information you would want to know or what additional research is needed about that topic.  You may also include in your paper how the topic relates to your own experience, other readings, and our discussions in class.  Your response should be well written in an essay format with an introduction and a conclusion.
Please include a cover page with your name, the name of the course, the date, and the title for your paper.
PLEASE INCLUDE A LINK TO THE ARTICLE ON WHICH YOUR PAPER IS BASED.  Be sure that you save a copy for yourself of your paper before you submit it.
In the body of your essay, it is not necessary to cite any references but if you know how to cite references in APA style, please do so.
