About one third of the worlds population carry tuberculosis (TB) mycobacteria. Only between 10 and 20 per cent of those people will go on to develop active tuberculosis disease. Sometimes the disease can progress for weeks or months before it is suspected. In the course of a year, someone with active TB can spread the disease to up to 15 people, and without proper treatment, around 10 of that group may die. In Australia, around 1,200 cases are reported each year, 85 per cent of which are in migrant populations. The key to controlling TB is early identification, treating it with antibiotics and tracing those who have had close contact with the TB patient, for investigation of whether they are also infected. For this assignment, you are to assume the role of a Public Health Officer within a state or territory Health Department, undertake appropriate contract tracing and exposure assessments for a notified tuberculosis index case.
Students should explore relevant websites and articles to support a report with responses for questions 15. Assessment 2 will count 50% towards grades for this Unit. Recommended word count 2,500, excluding references and appendices.
2. What is contact tracing in epidemiology? (5 marks)
3. Please download Tuberculosis Contact Tracing guidelines for the Northern Territory and Victoria. Can you identify any important differences? (10 marks) 4. A student at a secondary school in a small community has been diagnosed with smear positive pulmonary TB while being hospitalized. The news has been published in a local newspaper. There has been considerable anxiety in the local community and parents of the other students. Only the parents and 8 year old brother are identified as contacts, and no evidence of TB is found among them. As the responsible Public Health officer, you want to give helpful information in an informed but not overtechnical form. You might tell the community what they should know, without raising panic or encouraging complacency.You are required to prepare a report for the local media and community to address their concerns. Please include in the report i) What is the disease burden of TB in Australia? (e.g. incidence, prevalence, mortality) (5 marks) ii) How is pulmonary TB transmitted & how infectious is it? (high, moderate, low) (5 marks) iii) Who are the high risk groups for contact tracing, and in what clinical circumstances should more distant contacts or other members of the community present to the clinic for testing? (5 marks) iv) What procedures have been taken for the identified contacts, including follow-up (5 marks) v) When would the index case student return to class & how does the community know they are safe from infection from this source? (5 marks)
5. Quality of writing, reasoning, references and correct formatting also earns up to (5 marks)
Concepts are vocabulary words, terms, or theories that you have learned in this class. Some examples include trust vs. mistrust, Baumrind’s parenting styles, selective optimization, animism, wheel theory of love, elderspeak, etc. There are many others. Think of what interests you or catches your attention as you read the chapter and listen to the lecture. Chances are you are interested in the concept because it applies to you. This will make this assignment easier and more meaningful.
Make sure to clearly define (in your own words) each concept. Use a variety of concepts throughout the semester.
Apply each concept to a real life situation This may be an application to work or your personal life. Think about how you can use what you have learned. Be creative and thorough. Show me that you understand the concept as you illustrate its use.
Make sure to check grammar and spelling.
Check your journal entry length. Each concept should have at least two paragraphs dedicated to it. This will make your overall journal entry for each module at least six paragraphs long. A paragraph has a minimum of three sentences.
Don’t use quotes. This entry is to be 100% in your own words.
Don’t write a research paper. This is an application paper, and the focus is on your ability to understand and use what you have learned.
Make sure that you have submitted your entry as a Word document attachment in the correct assignment submission folder. Please do not attach in PDF, Word Perfect, or .pages (Apple) format. I cannot read these formats on my computer.
Check your Turnitin Similarity Score. This score appears after turning in your assignment. This is a percentage score showing what percent of your journal entry is not in your own words. For these assignments, this should be under 5%.

Requires to read Anger is A Gift novel by Mark Oshiro: reflect on the intersectionality of Anger is a Gift – this book not only intersects race and sexuality, but also the characters themselves represent multiple identities, without really lingering on them. Speak to the way the novel does that, and how it was for you as a reader to read a book that performs that intersection.2 pages, double spaced, minimum, MLA for any citation
Title page. This identifies the paper as yours and provides a descriptive title that gives the reader a hint of what your paper is about (hint do not use Just Mercy: A Reaction Paper).
Introduction. Identifies major theme(s) of the book and your intellectual reaction to them.
Body. Systematically addresses your areas of agreement and disagreement with the author(s), giving reasons, facts, and examples from both the course and the book. Be specific and detailed. The evidence should be connected to your major theme, established in the introduction. You may compare and contrast authors/theories/etc based on your major theme. Be sure to cite the page and the source (of either the book or text) when you are using specific ideas or quotes.
In your paper, you must use and grapple with ideas from the reading and/or lectures in this course and use them to frame and illustrate your theme. Remember, this is your chance to demonstrate how reading the material in class and participating in class discussion has improved your ability to think critically about the law, and in this specific case, the issues raised throughout the book. I am not looking for a specific opinion.
Review
One of the primary aims of public health is to promote prevention and reduce the incidence of preventable diseases. Vaccination is an effective method to curb disease outbreaks. Immunization information systems (IISs) are databases in which information regarding vaccination rates is consolidated. These systems are useful not only to tailor vaccination schedules for individual patients, but also to monitor community vaccinations and guide public health promotion activities. Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
What research method was used to inform recommendations? Assess the pros and cons of this approach.
Describe the capabilities of an IIS system.
Summarize the conclusions drawn by the authors with respect to IIS utility to both increase immunization rates and reduce vaccine-preventable diseases.
Complete a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis.
Complete a political, economic, sociological, and technological (PEST) analysis.
Explain the recommendations you would make in a proposal to executive leaders of your organization regarding whether or not to participate.
