Infections Disease Presentation

You have been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation for an upcoming conference on infectious disease. You will highlight one communicable disease and address two epidemiological models in the presentation to explain how it spreads: the epidemiological triangle and the chain of infection.

Instructions:

First, choose an infectious disease from the following list, then conduct research on how and why it spreads.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2017). Table 33: Selected nationally notifiable disease rates and number of new cases: United States selected years, 1950 – 2016. Retrieved from https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/2017/033.pdf

Next, access the PowerPoint resources below to answer any questions about creating a slideshow presentation, including speaker notes for each slide or including citations within slides. Once you have familiarized yourself with these processes, access the PowerPoint template and create an 8-slide presentation for the conference, including speaker notes and APA citations for supporting sources. Your presentation should include the following:

Slide 1: Title slide

Include an appropriate title, your name, the competency number, and the date.

Note: Speaker notes are not necessary for this slide.

Slides 2–3: Epidemiological Triangle:

Provide a description of the epidemiological triangle for your disease.

Develop a graphic, including captions for each component of the triangle.

Provide an explanation of the relationships and among the agent, host, and environment.

Slides 4–5: Chain of Infection:

Provide a description of the chain of infection for the disease you selected.

• Develop a graphic of the chain of infection for the disease and captions for each link of the chain.

Provide an explanation of how the disease flows from one link to the next.

Slide 6–7: Strategies to Mitigate Disease

Describe at least two public health strategies that can be implemented to alter the relationships among agent, host, and environment in the epidemiological triangle or to break the chain of infection.

• o Slide 8: References

Reference at least two scholarly resources in APA format and cite each within the presentation.

• Note: Speaker notes are not necessary for this slide.
• Remember to use the speaker notes section on each slide to explain how you would present each slide to the group of health professionals attending the conference.
