Step-by-Step Guide for Completing Each Section
For Each Disease Type (Airborne, Waterborne, etc.), Follow These Steps:
1. Identify the Disease
-
1A. Common Name: Use what the public typically calls it (e.g., “Tuberculosis”).
-
1B. Scientific Name: Use the medical term used in research and reporting.
2. Identify the Organism
-
2A. Scientific Name of the Pathogen: Find the actual microbe that causes the disease (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis).
-
2B. Classification: Is the pathogen bacterial, viral, fungal, or another type?
3. Explain How It’s Transmitted
-
Provide a general overview (e.g., “through the air”).
-
Then give a specific example (e.g., “by inhaling respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs”).
4. Describe the Recommended Treatment
-
Identify medical treatments such as antibiotics, antivirals, hydration, or supportive care.
-
State whether the disease is treatable or manageable.
5. Community-Level Prevention (List 3 Strategies)
For example:
-
A. Increase public education on hygiene and sanitation.
-
B. Provide free vaccination clinics or testing stations.
-
C. Improve infrastructure to reduce transmission (e.g., better water filtration systems or pest control).
6. Geodemographic Map
-
6A. Insert a recent map showing the disease’s presence or trends in the U.S. (from the CDC or similar).
-
6B. Cite the source in APA format (e.g., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [Year]. Title. URL).
7–9. Personal and Governmental Action
-
7. Protecting Friends and Family: What can you do at home (e.g., encouraging vaccination, using safe food practices)?
-
8. Protecting Yourself: Focus on prevention, awareness, and behaviors.
-
9. Government Protection: What should the federal government do? (E.g., funding research, issuing health alerts, regulating industries.)
10. Gender-Specific Challenges
-
Discuss how gender roles, access to care, or social stigma can affect disease prevention or treatment.
-
Consider gender disparities in healthcare or societal expectations that may make it harder for one gender to seek treatment.
✅ Final Reminders:
-
Use only U.S. government websites like CDC.gov, NIH.gov, or HHS.gov for research.
-
Use maps and data published within the last 3 years when possible.
-
Make sure each section is complete before moving to the next.
-
Keep language clear and formal — this will go in your ePortfolio.
