INTRODUCTION
With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition,
changes in vaccination practices have revealed 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 the Bentonville simulation, you learned how an influenza virus impacted the community. You will provide a
PDF report of your completed activities.

In this task, you will also analyze an outbreak of a specific global communicable disease that occurred in the
last 50 years that crossed international borders (e.g., the measles outbreak that moved from the Philippines
to the United States).

REQUIREMENTS

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no
more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from
sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used
as a guide

4. Explain what the reporting protocol would be if an outbreak of the selected disease were to occur in
your community.
5. Discuss two strategies (e.g., patient education strategies, community education strategies) that you
