Write an essay that discusses why the Dominican Republic and France have simila

Write an essay that discusses why the Dominican Republic and France have similar (or different) disease burdens (HIV as well). Your analysis should consider such factors as the cultural, economic, behavioral, environmental, and biological attributes of each country, the distribution of resources within each population, and the ability of each country’s health system to prevent, diagnose, and treat the disease. You should incorporate the table into the body of your paper.
The paper body should be a minimum of 10 double-spaced pages, excluding your table and bibliography. The table itself should be placed at the end of your paper. The paper should include a strong introductory paragraph with a clear thesis, a body that uses original arguments, and analysis and uses primary source material to support claims. The paper should close with a substantive conclusion and have a complete and properly formatted bibliography of all of the sources you have cited in your research. In addition to any data tool sites such as those above, you are expected to draw on a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed, scholarly sources to support your analysis. News articles and other non-scholarly sources may be used in addition to your scholarly sources; these must also be cited and included in your bibliography. Do not use encyclopedias (Wikipedia is a big no-no) or other general-reference texts such as dictionaries in your research, as these are not considered college-level research sources.
As this assignment asks you to explore health and demographic data about select countries. Here are some great resources to help you find the data you need for the analytical portion of the paper:
1. UW’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)Links to an external site.
You should use the IHMEs GBD Compare Tool as described above to fill in the data for the table. It is a great resource for visualizing data, seeing trends, and comparing regions and countries. This tool allows you to easily and quickly create visual representations of your chosen country and the disease or condition of your choice.
