Paper must be in APA format Issues in Health Nutrition Topical Assignment The Institute of Medicine (IOM), the health care arm of the National Academies of Science (NAS), issued a landmark report, Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of a Nation (2012). Obesity is a public health issue of monumental importance to the nation. It can be argued that this is the most significant public health challenge we face at this time, both because of the huge number of people it affects and because of the ripple effects it has and will have on the development of debilitating and costly chronic diseases. Obesity is a major contributor to the health care cost challenges we confront today in the United States. These costs have the potential to become catastrophic and unaffordable unless all sectors of society take the need for obesity prevention seriously and act responsibly. It is untenable to wait any longer until people are already sick, requiring that most of our efforts and funding be devoted to crisis intervention for diseases that could have been prevented or made less severe. (IOM, 2012) Your assignment is to thoroughly review the IOM report and write a 4-6 page paper (title and reference pages not included. A grading rubric is provided.

This should not exceed one page at the most. To make it a very credible discussion you may want to identify threats to internal validity and how these threats will be addressed. Cover these points in paper please. Evaluation Design a. General Organization plan (model) for evaluation; types of testing b. Evaluation questions c. Sources of information; methods for collecting information d. Data collection schedule e. Techniques for analysis of collected information f. Constraints on evaluation design/threats to internal validity g. How potential threats to internal validity will be addressed Please use scholarly sources on Google Scholar. Only two is needed. My research proposal is on how diet and depression are related. I need to come up with a testable method on how this will be or could be tested and evaluated. Some questions to think about: How many participants with depression will we use, where the participants will come from, how long will the study be, How will we test the effects of diet on depression, junk food group vs healthy food group etc This is the purpose of the methods section. Finding other research proposals that have already done this is ideal unless you come up with your own but it has to be testable. More questions I came up with that may help keep you on the right track: Questions: How does poor diet effect cognitive functioning and influence depression? How can a change in diet positively affect the condition of an individual with depression? To what degree does a poor diet increase the severity of depression? What role does body type, gender, activity level, and other factors play in the effect food has on depression? Is there a significant effect in the social normalization of fast food and increase in global depression numbers? Potential testable: Change in sleep, change in weight, change in cognitive function (as tested by reaction time, short-term memory, and word searches), hunger, fatigue, and changes in mood.

Create own question!!! Written case analyses. For each weekly period you will prepare a written analysis of an assigned case study. The cases are found at the back of the textbook in the pages beginning with C-3. The assignment is not to answer the case analysis questions at the end of the case, though these questions should be helpful for your critical thinking. The assignment is to present your own question and answer it, following the PROCESS FOR WRITTEN CASE ANALYSIS, which is given later in this course outline. The written case analyses are due on the dates shown in the SCHEDULE OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES. You should submit them using the Blackboard email system, preferably as attachments to email messages. Within a week of submitting them, you will receive feedback on these assignments. Your performance will be assessed with a grading rubric that is posted in Blackboard. Please note that if you do not email your adapt to these environmental issues. environmental issues and their impact on how organizations are developing strategies to adapt to the dynamic changes in the workplace. strategies that organizations are developing to deal with these issues Identify, discuss and describe various theories related to the development of leadership skills, motivation techniques, teamwork and effective communication.

If a case analysis is more than one week late, then six points more will be deducted for every week or portion of a week that it is late. Case analyses submitted more than four weeks after their due dates will not be accepted less PROCESS FOR WRITTEN CASE ANALYSIS Your assignment is to identify one major issue in the case study, provide background for it, analyze it, and reach a conclusion. Your written work should follow the outline: BACKGROUND, ISSUE, ANALYSIS, and CONCLUSION. You should use these words as headings for your writing. Your work should be typed and double-spaced in Times New Roman 12 font. About two typewritten pages will be sufficient for this assignment. BACKGROUND: The background should establish a context for the issue. It presents the situation out of which the issue arose. It should provide enough information about the situation so that the reader can understand the issue. ISSUE: The issue should be presented as a question that can be answered YES or NO. For example, your question could be: Should this company continue to invest in emerging markets? That is a productive question since it leads to an analysis. An unproductive question could be: How did this company expand in emerging markets? That question leads only to a description of what the company did and may not force 7 any critical thinking. So always frame your question so that it can be answered YES or NO, keep the question simple, and do not ask multiple questions since that will complicate your analysis. ANALYSIS: Your analysis should examine both sides of the question. You should present at least three arguments on each side of your question, YES and NO, and your arguments should be supported by facts from the case and/or information from the reading assignment. In your analysis you should also apply at least one concept from the reading assignment. CONCLUSION: Your conclusion should answer your question, YES or NO. You should evaluate the arguments you presented in your analysis and make a decision based on the weight of the evidence. In your conclusion you should summarize the arguments that support your decision. Please note that there is no right or wrong answer. Whatever you decide is valid as long as your conclusion is supported by your analysis. Be sure to cover each component of this process adequately. Your performance on the written case analyses will be assessed with a grading rubric that you will receive at the beginning of the course
