OU MOD 6 The Different Types of Disease and Unintentional Injuries Question

In module 6, we discuss the different types of disease and unintentional injuries and the burden of each of these health issues on the world as a whole and how they vary in different areas of the world.  In this assignment you are asked to define the different types of disease, as well as the burden of disease and provide an example of each.  Next, you will be asked to compare the leading causes of deaths in two different countries.  Then using what you’ve learned in the course to date about risk factors, the determinants of health, culture and health and other topics, discuss why you might see the differences in disease patterns between these 2 countries.

Each week, you will be asked to complete a homework worksheet. Weekly HW relate to key concepts and ideas introduced in the module lectures and readings. The HW are a way to demonstrate your understanding/comprehension of the major concepts. Most of the HWs will ask that you include data or work with data tables. Global health is a scientific field that uses data to help form policy, keep an eye on health issues in communities and worldwide and allow us to evaluate effectiveness of health systems and interventions.
