(170 points) plus 80 points that will be awarded for the discussion component of this assignment as indicated in the rubrics and grading section. Total 250 points.
(NOTE: do not start your Epidemiology Paper in the Wiki until you have received your invitation to join from the professor)
Using your selected and assigned disease or health condition Wikispace, your team will develop an analyticial report here that will be the base of your final paper to be submitted as a Word document to the Assignments tool of WebCourses and Turn-it-in. You need to work in this Wiki during the next weeks and until July 14 before you submit your paper for grading by the due date of July 19 at noon. Be as creative as possible and include links to graphics or other sources of information to support your points.
In the assigned teams, students will work on a 10-page paper on the epidemiology of a specific disease or health condition. The paper should include the following sections: 1. Describe the patterns and trends of its distribution in the world, the US, Florida and Central Florida (including your county and UCF if information is available); 2. Identify the risk factors; 3. Evaluate preventive strategies or efforts (also make references to Central Florida, your county and UCF if applicable) and; 4. Discuss implications for public health interventions (make reference to Central Florida, your county and UCF if applicable). Following the specifications in the protocols section the paper should have two pages for every one of these 4 sections (include a subtitle for every one of these 4 sections), one page at the end for references and a cover page as specifice in the "protocols" section of the course. When you develop your paper in the Wiki, you can exceed that limit, but try to keep the information close to the requirement so it facilitates the edition of your final paper for submission.
Please note that as an appendix each team will write a two-page justification of the benefits and synergy of your team containing also a detailed description of the sections and contributions of each one of the students to the paper.

0. Executive Summary
Please develop an executive summary that includes your key findings and specific conclusions, not only a generic description
1. Distritution Patterns and Trends
Describe the patterns and trends of its distribution in the world, the USA, Florida and Central Florida (including your county and UCF if information is available)
2. Risk Factors
Identify here all the risk factors of your disease or health condition
3. Preventive Strategies
Evaluate preventive strategies or efforts (also make reference to Central Florida, your county and UCF if applicable)
4. Public Health Interventions
Discuss implications for public health interventions (make reference to Central Florida, your county and UCF if applicable)
5. References
Use APA style for all your references; when they are Internet links please link to the specific reference, not on the general webpage. Make parenthetical citations in APA style for all your references and do not use URLs in the text; do not include references that are not cited in your paper. Please consult the guide that has been provided for APA references in the main page of WebCourses under "Epidemiology Paper". Note that in the Wiki you can use Hyperlinks to your references also or include graphics or videos, but in your paper include all those extra resources if necessary in the appendixes.
6. Appendixes
Your first appendix should be a two-page justification of the benefits and synergy of your team containing also a detailed description of the sections and contributions of each one of the students to the paper.
You can include as appendixes any other graphics or documents that support your paper discussion.
The appendixes do not count in the 10-page limit of the document in word. All the appendixes that you include in here in the Wiki, do not have to be transferred to your final Word paper, only those that you think are of critical importance to understand your paper.
