You will be required to write a short (five-pages, double-spaced, 12 point font, 1 in. margins)
paper on the topic you sign up for on the third week of class. Only word or pages documents
will be accepted on Blackboard. Pdfs will not be accepted. The paper must include the
following sections:
1. Define the health problem [where does it occur, how many people are dealing with it, is it a
historical or current problem, what are the health endpoints (i.e., death, disease, etc.)].
2. What are the risk factors?
3. What communities/people are most impacted by this problem?
4. What are three community-level interventions that have been suggested for this problem?
5. Describe one (original) intervention you would design to help fix this problem.
6. How would you monitor whether your intervention was successful?
You will also need a reference list with 4 peer reviewed journal articles. If you are unsure
whether a source is peer-reviewed, please check with the Health Sciences librarian or with me.
References formatting should be in the style of Ecology academic journal. Guide found here:

Lastly, you must submit the paper via Blackboard/turnitin.com for grading. If you have not used
turnitin.com before, I will provide instructions during class. The maximum percent of your
paper determined to be non-original by turnitin.com must be below 20% (19% or
lower). If it is 20% or over, you receive an automatic 0 on the paper. You will be able to
upload your paper to Blackboard/turnitin.com as many times as you like prior to the deadline to
check the originality and edit your paper so that it meets the requirement. However, it takes 24
hours to generate an originality report after your first upload. So, be sure to check your paper
well in advance of the deadline. Only the last version that has been uploaded will be graded.
Late papers will receive a penalty of 5% per day the paper is late.
