Short Paper: Burden of Disease
”
Compare the major burden of disease that you have chosen (legionnaires) to other types of burdens (TB in Bangladesh). You only need a cursory overview of legionnaires; consider that this comprises about 25% of your paper, so it should only consume about half a page or a long paragraph at most. Assess how the major burden of disease TB in Bangladesh fits into the epidemiologic transition and approximately where the country is in the transition. Describe what the population looks like in terms of age and distribution, as well as poverty levels. Analyze one intervention that has successfully addressed this burden of the disease in the country. What, in your opinion, made the intervention successful?
