Health Disparity Presentation & Paper Guidelines

This is a two-part assignment that includes a presentation and a paper. This activity allows you to explore a specific population and the related health outcomes and disparities for that population.

The first part of the assignment includes a presentation, which is the basis for your final paper. Another component to the presentation includes in-depth peer-review feedback to improve the final paper due a few weeks after. The second part of the assignment is a paper that incorporates the information from the presentation with improvements that you received during the feedback process and content learned as you progressed through the course.

(See the course Canvas for specific deadlines on this assignment.)
