INTRODUCTION

With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices have led to an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under control. These global health issues present new problems for

community health officials.

In the Bentonville simulation completed in Unit 9, you learned how an influenza virus impacted the community. In this task, you will submit the

Bentonville Completion Certificate PDF report with task components outlined here. You will select a disease topic from the “C228 Field Activities List,” which will be the focus topic for the written portion of the task and the required field experience activities. To document the field experience

activities, you will submit your completed “C228 Community Health Field Experience Time Log,” attached below. The activities you complete in your

community should relate to your selected disease topic and focus on prevention. For the written portion of the task, you will analyze two outbreaks

of a specific global communicable disease: an outbreak that occurred in the last 50 years in your CDC region, selected from the web link found below, and a community outbreak that occurred in a country outside of U.S.

REQUIREMENTS

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one

individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.

You must use the task requirements and rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to

evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to

relevant portions of the course.

Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).

determinant for the selected outbreak.

D.   Discuss how an outbreak of the disease from part B would impact your community at a systems level (e.g., the functioning of schools, local

government, businesses, hospitals). 1.   Compare a community outbreak that occurred in a country outside of the U.S. at a systems level.

2.   Explain the reporting protocol for the community from local levels to the CDC if an outbreak of the selected disease were to occur in your

CDC region. 3.   Discuss two strategies (e.g., patient education, community vaccine promotion) that you would recommend to prevent an outbreak of the
