1. COVID-19 Population Impact Analysis

2. Population: In this section of your final project, you will summarize key elements of the research study and analyze the population impacted by the health issue.
   1. Summarize the people, places, and times represented in the research study to provide context for your report.
   2. Describe three social and behavioral determinants strongly associated with the public health issue in the research study.,
      1. Be sure to cite specific examples from the research study to support your description,
   3. Describe three known disparities associated with the health of the specific population.,
      1. Be sure to cite specific examples from the research study to support your description.
   4. Explain how the identified social and behavioral determinants relate to the disparities you identified, and explain your reasoning.

3. Health Issue:

   1. Draw connections between the population and public health issue using your research and analysis.
      1. Consider where you identified common elements, what you learned about the public health issue by studying the population, and what you learned about the population by studying the public health issue.
      2. In addition, consider the study’s suggestion of the most likely primary source of the outbreak.

The research study “A Novel Coronavirus Outbreak: A Teaching Case Study” examines the emergence of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, during late 2019. The affected population included residents, healthcare workers, and travelers, with rapid global spread.

Key social and behavioral determinants include population density, limited health literacy, and social mobility. Disparities involved unequal healthcare access, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension. These determinants worsened the disparities by influencing exposure and treatment outcomes.

The population’s behaviors and environment were central to understanding viral transmission, suggesting the outbreak likely originated from zoonotic exposure at a local seafood market, emphasizing prevention and early detection measures.APA
