BHA 3501 Course Project and Assignment (*****APA Format + All Question Answered + Original Work + References with citation *****)
Course Project
The BHA 3501 Course Project gives you the opportunity to study an important community health problem or challenge and analyze it in-depth, presenting your findings in an APA written paper format. Any topic introduced in this course may be selected for your project. It is a good idea to conduct an internet research on potential topics that you are considering for your Course Project before selecting one. You will want to determine that plenty of information is available online for incorporation into your project.
In preparing the Course Project, you will critically analyze issues related to your community health topic, and you will consider both our current healthcare environment and future directions in community health.
Guidelines
The length of the Course Project should be seven to ten pages, double-spaced, and in strict APA format. The Course
Project is a significant portion of your grade, so you should consider it a very important activity.
You will need at least five outside sources for your Course Project beyond the course textbook. Web resources and professional journal articles will be key sources in researching your topic.
In-text citations and APA referencing are required. You will list all of your sources on a Reference Page at the end of the project.
The BHA 3501 Course Project will include at least the following sections; you may want to include others if you deem them appropriate:
1. Introduction of your Topic
2. Challenges and Problems Associated with your Topic
3. Review of the Community Health Literature
4. Critical Analysis of Challenges/Problems
5. Recommended Solutions
6. Implementation of Solutions
7. Justification of Solutions
8. Conclusion
9. References

There are many facets to drug addiction. Controversy exists in what constitutes and defines drug addiction. Problems such as IV drug use, the spread of HIV and hepatitis C virus, and fetal injury remain major issues of drug addiction and make it important that drug addiction be controlled. Many communities have developed programs to help individuals change behavior and control their drug seeking impulses. On the other hand, recent evidence points to a neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) and its role in some addictions. How should communities define drug addiction? Should they fund community centers for drug addiction or should they increase their pharmacotherapy efforts?
