W‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍eek 1 Discussion 2: Tools for Access and Disparities Purpose Discussion board assignments provide you the opportunity to share what you have learned in this course, and to learn from your peers by participating in a discussion. Instructions Begin this assignment by carefully reading the discussion prompt. Write a response to your classmates and instructor to read. After making your initial post, check back frequently to the discussion forum to read your colleagues responses to the prompt. Make at least two follow-up posts to peers. Ask follow up questions to keep the conversation alive. You are encouraged to “dig deep” for this assignment, and always exercise good judgment. Any opinion offered, must be supported by fact. In your replies to other students’ posts, feel free to disagree and raise arguments, but please be respectful to each other when responding. Reflect on the video The state of global health and your assigned readings to answer the following questions: What is the difference between developed and developing countries? What do you believe are the major barriers to access among developed and developing countries? Is the eight-factor model a tool that should be implemented worldwide? Share your initial discussion post based on the assignment guidelines. Use course content and external sources to support your thoughts. Write a 500 to 750-word-initial discussion post. Please be sure to provide references to the peer-reviewed literature. Support your analysis with the most current l‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍iterature possible. Use of external non-peer reviewed sources can also be utilized in conjunction with your peer-reviewed sources such as government websites and think tanks. A minimum of 2-3 references from academic peer-reviewed journals is required. Citing reputable sources in APA format is a requirement for this assignment.
