Explain why research is important, including four areas of research needed to address infectious diseases.
Public health incorporates basic practices and processes to prevent, diagnose, and treat human disease.
In this point of history we are all learning more about the significance of public health in reducing disease incidence within our communities.
This page provides general information on public health that you can use in this Guide’s second journal assignment.
We rely on our public health system to provide services that improve life quality and length. Some of the services are apparent, like access to clean municipal drinking water. Other services are subtle, like providing curricula on hygiene to elementary classrooms.
This video introduces some of the important foundations of public health.
We still have a few models left :). These are perfect for describing the significance of public health and the role of social cooperation.

Journal Page #16: COVID-19 Funding
Now that you have been introduced to the basic components of public health, your assignment is write about the parts of public health that you feel need to be funded to continue to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infections. This can be similar to what is already underway and reported in the news, or it can be your own take on the role of public health in addressing infectious diseases.
You are turning in a summary page of how you think public health should be used to reduce the negative impacts of COVID-19.
Compiled Journal (due Friday)
Compiled Journal
Once you have finished all 16 journal pages, you are compiling the pages into a finished journal. Include at the front of your journal your name and the date of completion. Your journal may be papers, digital, or a combination of media. You are submitting evidence that the journal is completed. It could be the journal itself, a series of photos, or a video tour of the journal. If it is a large file like a Powerpoint file, you may want to submit it in PDF format. A large video can be hosted on a website, and the address can be submitted on Canvas.
This is it!
