Here is a plan for creating visual representations of the data and an organized blueprint for finishing the task in a grid or spreadsheet format:
1. Spreadsheet or Grid Format
Specifics of the CriteriaInformation
History of Disease and Natural LifeDetermine the infectious disease’s cause, mode of transmission, and phases of development.For instance, tuberculosis (TB): spreads by droplets and is brought on by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Risk factors include things like age, smoking, and crowding that make people more susceptible.Examples include low income, immunosuppression, cramped living conditions, and restricted access to medical treatment.
Allocation of ResourcesDescribe the preventative and treatment resources available at the local, state, and federal levels.For instance, state TB testing programs, local health clinics, and CDC support for TB research.
Prevalence and IncidenceReport rates in ***/100,000 format on a local, state, and federal level.For instance: State: 8/100,000; National: 2.7/100,000; Local: 12/100,000 (CDC, 2023).
Rates of Morbidity and MortalityAs available, record rates at the local, state, and federal levels.For instance, the national mortality rate was 0.15 per 100,000 (CDC, 2023).
Primary, Secondary, and Postsecondary HealthcareDescribe the care options available at the preventative and therapy levels.For instance, DOT programs (secondary), free TB screening (primary), and TB hospitals (tertiary).
Disparate Burden of DiseaseDraw attention to inequalities based on socioeconomic status, gender, race, or ethnicity.For instance, TB is more common in Black and Hispanic communities because of occupational and housing-related issues.
2. Data Graphic Representations
Graphic 1: Location-Based Bar Chart of Incidence/Prevalence
Geographic Location (Local, State, National) is the X-Axis.
Y-Axis: Rates of Incidence and Prevalence (per 100,000).
Goal: Illustrate regional differences in disease prevalence.
Visual Aid 2: Pie Race/Ethnicity Disparate Burden Chart
Segments: The disease’s many racial and ethnic groups.
Goal: Draw attention to the disproportionate burden and racial/ethnic inequities.
3. Important Topics for Inclusion
History of Natural Life
Give a brief explanation of the disease’s progression:
For TB, for instance:
Exposure → Latent TB Infection → Active TB Disease (causes consequences if left untreated).
Risk Elements
socioeconomic circumstances (such as poverty and limited access to healthcare).
behavioral elements (such as smoking and intimate interaction with infected individuals).
Allocation of Resources
Local: educational initiatives, community health clinics.
State: Vaccination campaigns or screening initiatives managed by the state.
National: federal grants for healthcare providers, CDC or WHO financing.
Prevalence/Incidence
Consult resources such as CDC reports or the websites of state health departments.
Mortality and Morbidity
When feasible, give comparable prices.
Availability of Care
The first is prevention (e.g., immunization, public health education).
Programs for early detection and screening come in second.
Tertiary: Specialized hospitals or advanced treatment centers.
Different Burden
Connect the social determinants of health to inequities.
Example: Because of overcrowding, TB rates are higher in low-income housing regions.

QUESTION
The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize students with the epidemiology process as a method by which to address healthcare disparities. For this assignment, students will select a communicable disease identified as an area of concern for his/her geographic region based on results from the Windshield Survey Assignment. Once identified, the student will address the disease’s natural life history, the program’s incidence and prevalence, risk factors, prevention strategies, nursing interventions, and resource allocation. Students will then overlay findings with race/ethnicity, gender, and/or socioeconomic status to highlight existing disparities. This is not a formal assignment requiring APA formatting. However, citations of sources are needed. Students should complete this project using a grid or spreadsheet and at least two meaningful graphic representations of the data.
