Write an introduction to this assignment, assuming the role of the leader of a public health agency.
Discuss the importance of evidence-based practice to your emerging issues.
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 this week.)
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 created 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?
Submit your evidence table and the introduction as attachments to this assignment.
Please remember to refer to your grading rubric to garner all points available.
Thank you.
