Mosquito (Malaria) connection with Enviromental Health

 One of the goals of this Environmental Health course is for you to recognize and understand the major environmental stressors and their impact on the health and well-being of human populations. As a future public health professional (or not), you must know what is happening in the world around you on a local, state, national, and international level. Each of you will be required to prepare and present one current event. Your current event article must come from scholar sources (no more than 2 years old). Either a news article, journal (examples: Journal of Environmental Health, Environmental Health), news magazine (examples: TIME, Newsweek) or a reputable internet news source (examples: MedicalNewsToday, CDC, ScienceDaily, KaiserHealthNews). An acceptable article must relate to current problems, issues, or programs that deal with our society or global matters that are appropriate to Environmental Health. Project Description Your current event paper should be in APA format, 3-4 (max) typed pages, double spaced, and size 12” font with standard margins. Section One 1.
