Please help! Use a lot of details. Thanks!
1. Pick one particular community that you care about and choose one disease that affects them, either a cardiovascular disease or a type of cancer. Both cardiovascular disease and cancer refer to multiple conditions, so choose one specific focus (e.g., heart failure, skin cancer, leukemia).
2. Research one cause of this disease that particularly affects this community. Note how this factor leads to the development or worsening of this condition among these individuals.
3. Find one way to reduce the risk associated with this disease cause. Consider whether this strategy falls on the individual, the community, or larger organizations to implement.
4. With this knowledge, create a "public service announcement" that addresses the following:
- Explain why and how this community is affected by the disease you chose to focus on and share any relevant statistics.
- Why does this problem particularly matter to you?
- Discuss the disease risk factor you researched and explain the biological reason why this factor leads to this disease at a level that a non-expert could understand.
- How does this risk factor work?
- Advise action to reduce the disease in this community as it relates to this risk factor. Try to be persuasive in order to encourage action and change.
You may choose a variety of formats for this activity. Your submission may be a letter to an editor of a local newspaper, a flyer to put up in this community, an infographic, a speech you would deliver at a town meeting, or more. Choose whichever format appeals to you most.
