Global warming and diseases

Building Your Evidence Base

For this role, you will assume the role of a public health leader.). Make an evidence table based on what you have gathered on The connection between global warming and diseases and other public health problems, such as clean air and water in the United States.

Evidence Table

This evidence table allows you to list the evidence gathered. The goal of using this table is to promote succinct and careful thinking about research implications as applied or synthesized to your emerging issue.

Overview Directions

Step One: Introduction

produce an introduction to this task, assuming the role as the leader of a public health agency.

  • Discuss the importance of evidence-based practice to The connection between global warming and diseases and other public health problems, such as clean air and water in the United States.
  • Add a short summary of what you have learned up to this point about your chosen emerging issue, and a short analysis of how the epidemiologist in your agency recommends how the investigation needs to move forward. (Refer to the discussion in this unit.)
  • Discuss any ethical considerations associated with the emerging issue.

Step Two: Evidence Table

Use the following criteria to provide an analysis of the evidence using the evidence table template given in the resources.

  • Is it recent? This is especially important if the evidence is data-driven.
  • Is it logical?
  • What is the experience of the authors or practitioners who made it?
  • Is there potential bias?
  • Is there any evidence challenging it?
  • How important is it?
  • Is it relevant to my investigation?
  • What is its significance?
  • Is this piece of evidence consistent with other evidence I have collected? If not, how is it different?
