Health Issues, Lifestyle Choice, and Social Justice
Consider general access to care, wellness practices, maintenance of health and prevention of illness, and treatment of illness (disease management). Briefly compare differences in scope (the extent and relevance to the issue of social justice) of two health conditions facing Americans today (obesity, chronic pain, tobacco use, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, HIV/AIDS, et cetera). Be sure to describe the demographics of the two populations you choose. Cite readings to support your claims.
•What kinds of early intervene strategies might social workers employ in their engagement with the two populations you chose to analyze, particularly in the context of social justice?
•What are the American mindsets about the two issues you identified?
•How can social workers influence these mindsets?

health issues
Imagine that the director of your department has tasked you with creating a presentation for your organization that illustrates a health issue.
Go to the Library and research a health topic (obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc.). Locate scholarly sources that represent the data in a visual way (infographics, charts, graphs, etc.). Data visualizations may come from the CDC, NIH, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, National Association of Mental Illness, American Cancer Society, etc. You must use highly credible sources.
Use the template provided in the Course Documents area to complete your assignment.
Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation using visual representations of the data from highly credible sources. There should be detailed speakers notes for each slide. The presentation should be in the following format:
-Title slide
-Introduction slide
-Data visualization (3-4 visualizations, one on each slide). In the speaker notes area, provide a detailed description of that data in the visualizations.
-Analyze the data visualizations on the slides and within the speaker notes. (1-2 slides)
-Discuss how these visualizations can assist with organizational decision-making for program development. (1 slide)
-Recommend organizational action based on the combination of data from the visualizations. (1 slide)
-Conclusion slide
-Reference slide(s)
