Overview
Great going! Now that you have selected the stakeholders for your humanitarian aid trip, it is time for you to do a deeper investigation into the specific health challenge attached to the scenario of your choice. Health challenges may and will vary across developing and developed countries. This week you gained insight surrounding the prevalence, incidence, and impacts of global nutrition and mental health challenges. For this assignment, you will engage in a similar investigation of your selected scenario.

- Gender: To what extent are different genders unequally impacted by the health challenge?
- Other: To what extent are other population groups unequally impacted by the health challenge?
- Other Determinants of Health: In your first project preparation assignment, you analyzed the social determinants of health. In this activity, you will now consider other determinants of health to gain a fuller picture of the health challenge.
- Environmental: Describe the environmental determinants of health for this challenge.
- Biological: Describe the biological determinants of health for this challenge.
- Policy Evaluation: Identify any current policies that exist related to the health challenge.
