This assignment explores how health issues such as obesity move from being “only a health concern” to a political concern.
To complete this assignment, do the following in 2-3 pages (not including cover page and References page):
- Identify a public health concern that is caused by or exacerbated by obesity.
- State your opinion on whether obesity should be handled solely by public health professionals or if it is appropriate for this concern to also be addressed as a political plight. Support your opinions with statistical data from at least 3 credible and/or scholarly resources. One resource for statistical data on obesity is http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/index.html.
- Include a plan for how you would propose to address obesity in your community. Would you choose a policy or community intervention, or would you leave the issue to be addressed by individuals?
