What HLTH 349 covers

McKenzie, Pinger and Seabert's introduction to community and public health is the course text, read one to three chapters a module/week with recorded presentations and assigned websites.

Forum threads run at least 350 words and replies at least 100, each with one citation. Four article reviews of 450 to 500 words summarize a journal article and address its problem in APA format. Two open-book quizzes and an open-book midterm and final exam test the readings, and the final module/week holds only the final exam.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes HLTH 349 Policy and Public Health this way:
A survey of the relationship between policy and public health-at the local, state, and national levels.

Where HLTH 349 papers lose points

HLTH 349 work loses points when an article review retells the article without addressing the public health problem it raises, when a forum post or reply lacks its required citation, when reviews run past 500 words and when posts give opinions about policy without data on who is affected. Strong submissions name the affected group, give one figure on the size of the problem and point to the agency or statute that could act on it.

Using a HLTH 349 sample well

Each sample connects a chapter to one policy and to the population it affects, reports what a study found with numbers and ends with what a public health agency or lawmaker could do. Use the same habits with your assigned articles and forum prompts.
