SCI 100 Week 4 Disease Brochure

Consider the following scenario:

Due to recent outbreaks of infectious diseases, increased cardiovascular disease, and cancer death in the United States, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have formed a joint task force and has tasked you with developing an educational brochure on one of these three topics. Due to the public’s lack of knowledge on these topics, it is your job to assemble a brochure that is informative and educational regarding your chosen topic.

Research your topic using online sources, such as the FDA, CDC, NCI, and local sources for content on your topic for this brochure.

Choose from the following topics and obtain faculty approval:

  • Cerebrovascular disease
  • Peripheral arterial disease
  • Congenital heart disease
  • Rheumatic heart disease

• Cancer

  • As there are too many to list, perform an Internet search.

Create a 3- to 6-page public service brochure, with appropriate images, to be printed in the Sunday edition of your newspaper. Include the following points:

• Provide a brief background on your chosen disease.
• Identify how this disease develops or how individuals contract the disease.
• Identify ways of preventing this disease.
