Intro to Environmental health

You have been recruited to run a COVID-19 vaccine awareness program. As a public health practitioner, you must create a strategic statement built on a system’s thinking framework in order to define the target community and publicize the vaccination campaign in order to influence certain populations to get vaccinated.

A. Please create a system thinking diagram that involves all aspects such as elements, interconnection, and causal loops such as negative and positive feedback, considering how infectious disease is spread into to the environment and among individuals. Including COVID-19 environmental health factors such as the disease’s origins, spread, health effects, and mitigation steps. To create the informative diagram, please use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Explain each feature and its interconnectedness after you’ve drawn the systems thinking schematic.

B. Utilizing the template given above, establish a one-page policy statement that contains prevention steps such as vaccination, mask usage, social distancing, and proper sanitation to protect people’s health and well-being and reduce severe infections.

2-3 PAGE ANSWER NOT INCLUDING REFERENCE LIST.

APA 7th style citation with in-text

Please do not send the prior essays/article made by you for another client.

Include a “works cited” bibliography at the end to reference the sources of information collected. It would be very useful to acquire the latest version of the American Psychological Association’s Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

Objectives of this course:

Understand, evaluate, and mitigate various environmental and occupational exposures that influence human health.Use text and journal readings to identify and communicate trends in environmental and occupational health. Conceptually develop and implement policies and programs to reduce environmental and occupational health hazards. Identify the various roles of the public health practitioner and administrator in the field of environmental and occupational health. Understand health hazards common to a variety of environments and describe communication and education strategies for environmental and occupational health promotion.Evaluate sampling technologies and reference databases relating to environmental and occupational health.

EXAMPLE

System thinking diagram for COVID-19 can help to depict the casual connections of the elements such as the source of the infection, its spread among the population, its host and protective measures within a system. It also explains how changes in one component cascade in changes in others which can affect the entire system. 

The elements in the prepared system thinking diagram are number of susceptible people, environmental contamination ( Infectious droplets on surfaces), person to person spread through contact, COVID-19 testing, handwashing, social distancing and isolation, hospitalization, treatment, personal protective equipment like masks, quarantine, number of COVID-19 cases, number of  mortality and recovered cases.
