For this discussion, you are asked to do the following in at least 500 words:
- Describe a significanat health issue in your community or state.
- Compare its significance to the national priorities of Healthy People 2020 goals (is it a national priority or just one found in your state/community).
- Explain what type of effort it will take to fully address it (leadership skills, financing, organizational buy-in, stakeholders, perceptions, barriers)
- Evaluate the efforts YOU can take to address this issue. (As a public health practitioner, what is YOUR role such as: Will you develop, lead or be part of a public health program to address the issue? Will you work on financing, organizational buy-in, stakeholders…what are you going to do to address this concern?)
