diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices
have indicated an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under
control. These global health issues present new problems for community health officials. In
this task, you will analyze a specific, recent outbreak of a global communicable disease that
has crossed international borders (i.e. TB outbreak, Haiti to U.S.). Choose one of the
following communicable disease outbreaks to address in your task: avian influenza measles
respiratory syndrome coronavirus meningococcal disease tuberculosis malaria Note: If you

(suggested length of 2“ 3 pages) by doing the following: 1. Describe a specific,
communicable disease outbreak. Note: This may include the name of the disease, countries
involved, date discovered, and date disease reached certain countries. 2. Analyze the
epidemiological determinants of the outbreak. a. Discuss the route of transmission of the
disease causing the outbreak. b. Discuss any risk factors involved. 3. Discuss how the
outbreak could affect your community at a systems level (i.e., how it will affect the
functioning of schools, local government, businesses, hospitals). 4. Explain what the
reporting protocol would be if an outbreak were to occur in your community. 5. Develop a
plan for how you would report about the outbreak to key stakeholders in your community.

2. 6. Discuss strategies (e.g., patient education strategies, community education strategies)
that you would recommend to prevent an outbreak in your community. B. Include all in-text
