Assessment Instructions

3. Preparation
Suppose you have been asked to submit an article for
publication in your organization's newsletter, about a global
health topic and how policies and practices at the local level can
affect global health. Choose one global health topic from the
list (or use another of your choice):
Mental health.
Communicable diseases (HIV/AIDS, influenza, malaria,
tuberculosis).
Non-communicable diseases (cancer, lung, and heart disease).
Maternal and child health (prenatal care, midwife education,
childhood vaccinations).
LGBT health.
Disabilities.
Global water supply and safety (GlobalHealth.gov, n.d.).
Look in the Capella library and on the Internet for very recent
peer-reviewed articles, statistics, and professional nursing
information on the global health topic you selected.

For this assessment, develop an APA-formatted research review
article that covers one global health topic of your choice. In this
