Global Health Disparities

Discuss why inter/intra national global health disparities are an important factor in providing health development for underdeveloped countries. Provide examples in your response.

Composite Measures for Health

Based on the review of health development across international countries, develop criteria on how the health and disease levels can be assessed to create a "quality of life scale" for health organizations to utilize.

Using a composite measure such as Healthy life year (HeaLY) or Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE), take the countries you used for the Unit 2 assignment and apply this composite measure to provide a quality of life assessment.

Then write a 2-3 page, position paper explaining your rationale of why you think these measures are good or poor for long-range assessments and what can be done to improve this situation. Be sure to include your developed criteria and quality of life assessment.

Your writing should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.) and APA style guidelines. Your work should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful. Your submission should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics.
