    Content Requirements:
    Background information about the country in 1 paragraph (This is your introduction paragraph)Include at least 3 different pieces of background information that are relevant to public health.
    These 3 pieces of background information should be related to social, political, and economic determinants of health and how they contribute to population health and health inequities in your given country.
    Some examples may include access to health services, population distribution by age, human rights and/or political issues, economic issues such as poverty, urban or rural distribution of population, social, religious, or cultural norms as it pertains to your topic. The connection to your topic should be made obvious.
    This section should not deal directly with your health problem. Rather, it should help the reader understand your country from an outsider’s perspective, yet be relevant to public health, in general.
    Brief description of the health problem in 1 – 2 paragraphsFirst, define the health problem
    Second, include risk factors (causes) and consequences (effects) for the health problem, specific to your country.
    Last, include at least 2 pieces of epidemiologic data published within the past 10 years on the health issue and within the country of interest, which may include incidence rates, prevalence rates, and/or death rates. These two pieces of data should take the form of numbers.
    At least one reference for this section must be from a peer-reviewed journal article published within the last 10 years.
    Brief description of prevention strategies in 1 paragraph Include at least 1 primary, 1 secondary, and 1 tertiary prevention strategy for this health issue in your country.
    Identify each prevention strategy as primary, secondary or tertiary prevention.
    Create an original goal statement (1-2 sentences) that addresses a way to improve the health problem/improve health. It must follow the structure as described below by being concise, measurable, specific, and realistic. In addition, it must include the following:Who is the target population? All citizens of country does not represent a specific target population.
    What is the health problem? Choose just one problem to address in your one
    How much change (represented by a percent) do you anticipate? Tip: A 10% change within 10 years is a realistic goal for developed nations, such as the U.S. If your country is developing, then you may expect less change in 10 years.
    By when will the change occur? This should be represented by a specific end date, not a range.
    Realism. If you are unsure about a goal’s realism, I recommend you review goal statements from Healthy People2020: http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topicsobjectives2020/
    Example goal statement for the problem of Hearing loss among German elderly adults, leading to social isolation:
    Our goal is to improve the identification of hearing loss in elderly adults. German adults between the ages of 70 – 85 (who) will experience an increase in hearing screenings (what) by 10% (how much) within the next 10 years (by when).
    Notice the goal statement includes the 4 required components: who, what, how much, and by when. It is also realistic.
    Conclusion paragraph: Now, we want to look more broadly at the impact of globalization on global burdens of disease. Describe the impact of globalization on worldwide population health, broadly, not just specific to your chosen country or health issue.
    Describe how globalization helps and hinders health.

    salman
    When doing scientific research, researchers are expected to adhere to a code of conduct based on established research ethics. In order to ensure the safety, privacy, and respect of study participants, it is crucial to act in accordance with established ethical guidelines. Therefore, an ethics committee should assess each study that includes human participants to make sure it complies with all applicable regulations. Ethical discussion primarily focuses on the three pillars of beneficence, justice, and autonomy (World Health Organization, 2021).
    Researchers also need to avoid using any form of coercion to get people to take part in experiments. Implied or direct threats of punishment for non-participation or other forms of opting-out are examples of coercion. Furthermore, offering excessive benefits for agreeing to engage can also be seen as coercion, since the participant may feel compelled to take part in order to receive the reward, even if they would have denied participation in the absence of the reward. Potential participants’ autonomy may be compromised if they are compelled to join a research in exchange for financial compensation (Barrow & Khandhar, 2019).
    The study which I selected is titled with Nurses’ Perceptions of Patient Safety Culture in Three Hospitals in Saudi Arabia. In this study, the researchers applied the principles of ethics with many points as following; this research project was given the approved by the Institutional Review Board of the College of Medicine at King Saud University (Project Number E-16-1742). Attached to each questionnaire was a cover letter that included an explanation of the purpose of the study, as well as the processes that were involved and the level of cooperation that was anticipated from the respondents. Before beginning the survey, respondents were asked to sign a document indicating that they had read and understood all of the information provided to them regarding the study, and that they were participating voluntarily. Throughout the course of the research, confidentiality was ensured and upheld at all times. The respondents were not provided any sort of compensation or reward for their participation in the study. The final author sent an e-mail to the person who owned the rights to the questionnaire on September 10, 2014, requesting permission to use the HSOPSC (Reference No. 24–31430) (Alquwez et al., 2018).
    Research ethics is a fundamental idea that underpins all aspects of contemporary medical research across all fields. It is on purpose that the overarching body known as the IRB is made up of specialists from a wide variety of fields. These specialists can include ethicists, social workers, physicians, nurses, other scientific researchers, counselors and mental health professionals, and advocates for subjects who are particularly vulnerable. In addition, there is frequently a legal expert either on the panel or accessible to it to examine any problems surrounding the legality of research or the repercussions they may have (Barrow & Khandhar, 2019).
