Graded Discussion: Population Dynamics
For this discussion, you will generate and compare population pyramids between countries and/or over time. To begin, visit https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/idb/#/country?YR_ANIM=2021 (Links to an external site.) and follow the instructions below:
Select years and countries on the left side of the screen:
To view temporal changes for a single population, choose 1 country and then hold ‘Ctrl’ to select multiple years. For example, 1950, 1955, 1960, …, 2015, 2020, 2025
To view differences between 2 different populations, choose 1 year and then hold ‘Ctrl’ to select multiple countries. For example, Afghanistan and the US
Click Submit
If you selected multiple years for 1 country, you can click the ‘play’ symbol near the top of results to view an animation of the pyramid over time!

Discussion Requirements:
Copy/Paste the URL from your pyramid results.
Describe the results you have generated. For example, how a population changed over time, or key differences across multiple countries.
Suggest some explanations for observed changes over time or between countries
Finally, what do you think the morbidity/mortality profile might look like for the country or countries you selected?
Grading Requirements:
Everyone must create 1 original post (as described above) and reply to at least 1 post from a classmate. You will not be able to see your classmates’ posts until you post your own.
Your grade will be assessed on the following 3-point scale:
Provocative (3/3) – Response meets stated requirements and also attempts to stimulate further thought and discussion, is relevant to epidemiology and concepts learned in class, and is respectful of others’ posts
Substantial (2/3) – Response meets stated requirements but does not stimulate further analysis/discussion of the subject or is less relevant to epidemiology and concepts learned in class
Superficial (1/3) – Response does not meet all stated requirements, provides obvious information without further analysis of the concept, lacks depth of knowledge or reasoning, or has very little relevance to epidemiology and concepts learned in class
None (0/3) – Response is not complete or is not respectful of others’ posts
You are encouraged to save your initial post as a Word document, as a back-up in case of a Canvas error.

The Demographic Transition Model

AS Description: Depending on the cause of death, racial/ethnic and gender disparities exist on years of potential life lost in the United States. Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) can be defined as the number of years lost when death occurs before one’s life expectancy. For this assignment, life expectancy will be set for everyone at 75. For YPLL, a death of a very young person is weighted more than a death of a very old person (McKenzie, Pinger, & Seabert, 2018).
AS Instructions: Investigate one cause of death (infant mortality, homicide, suicide, unintentional injuries (such as car accidents, drowning, falling, etc.), pregnancy complications, COVID-19, etc.) in the United States and research the YPLL for racial/ethnic groups and genders. Summarize your findings in your paper and discuss how calculating YPLL can change the way we think about that particular cause of death differently.
Provide factual documentation that reinforces your findings from at least three peer reviewed sources and include the citations in your narrative (where appropriate) and in your reference section using APA format. Upload your assignment as a Word document, 500 words, double-spaced, APA format.

You may or may not be familiar with the principles of supply and demand. These are common economic concepts which play an important role in public health. Supply refers to the law that when more goods and services are offered, prices also increase.
Conversely, as prices decrease so does production of those goods and services. Demand is the law stating that more goods and services are purchased when the price decreases and less when the price increases.
For example: Physicians draw on their professional expertise to determine what a particular patient needs related to their health. Medical insurance companies generally operate under the terms of demand. Supply comes into play when the medical insurance companies use the concept to make decisions for allocating medical goods and services among groups of patients. Elasticity is another important principle of the law of demand to consider when you are examining demand for a particular good or service. Price elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded of a particular good or service will change as price changes.
Supply curves in public health, as in other markets, are graphs that show the total quantity of a good or service that sellers are willing to sell at each price. Yet, supply in public health is subject to many influences that are not as evident in other kinds of markets.
As a public health professional, it is important to consider the intricacies of these concepts and how they affect public health.
For this assignment, review the media, “Supply Health Care Services,” and Learning Resources. Select an example of the principles of supply and demand for public health goods and services. Consider the effects of supply and demand on public health that might influence price elasticity. Next, think about how price elasticity might influence the quantity of goods and services demanded in public health.
Write a one-page paper
a) brief example of supply and demand for public health goods and services.
b) Select two factors that might influence price elasticity of demand for public health goods or services in your example.
c) Explain how and why price elasticity might influence the quantity of goods and services demanded in that example.

Purpose
This exercise aims to make you aware, comprehend, and apply knowledge about the smallpox eradication program (SEU). The SEU successfully eradicated smallpox worldwide. This exercise will help you apply knowledge to a current issue – the control and eradication of COVID 19.
The mental processing involved in this assignment will increase the likelihood that you will recall what you have learned. Recall of the material is the hallmark of learning.
The step-by-step procedure described in this assignment will help you focus on the questions and respond to these questions in a precise and logical manner.
This assignment responds to the following competencies: creative thinking (CT), critical thinking (CriT), written communication (WC), ), rational thought (RT),
Procedure
Step 1: Read Chapter 1, especially the section on smallpox eradication.
Step 2: Create a table with 4 columns and 2 rows. Write these as column headings: Elements, Lessons, Problems, Problem-Solution Pairs
Step 3: In the first column, in bullet points, list 5 components of the smallpox eradication campaign described by the text that led to the campaign’s success.
You will find the components in paragraphs on pages 13 and 14
Step 4: In the second column, list, in bullet points, 5 lessons learned from the smallpox eradication campaign. You will find the lessons learned on page 15, under the heading “lessons learned.”
You are now ready to write your essay.
Step 7: Divide your essay into 3 parts. Use these headings: (A) Components of the Smallpox Eradication Program; (B). Lessons Learned from the Smallpox Eradication Program, (C) cite 2-3 problems with Covid 19 vaccination program and show clearly how applying the components of lessons learned from the smallpox eradication program, could improved Covid 19 vaccination program.
With regard to the (A) Elements and (B) Lessons Learned portions, each sentence should be supported with 1 or 2 sentences that explain how an element or lesson learned contributed to the successful eradication of smallpox.
Aim for about 100 words for each part. Don’t now worry if you have more than 100.
Each part is worth 5 points, one point for each component or lesson in A and B. Part C is extra credit (3 pts). The more clearly you apply what you observed in Parts A and B to improve what you see as the problems of the Covid 19 vaccination program, the more points you will earn.
Each bullet point should be presented as a complete sentence.
USE SINGLE SPACE. KEEP YOUR SENTENCES SHORT.
