Absolutely Zero PLAGIARISM

 Note my chosen health issue is IMMUNIZATION

Advocacy is a critical element of public health. We know that collective support, commitment to social justice and health equity, and efforts to make policy changes can result in improved quality of life for all. Our calling in public health is to use our collective voice to create a sense of urgency for others to commit to addressing health issues.

For this assignment, you will identify political, social, and economic policies, programs, and strategies for your chosen health issue that stakeholders can support when seeking to improve health in diverse populations. You will create a diagram to illustrate how these concepts are interconnected and play a role in meeting your stated goals to improve health outcomes.
