Question

please I need help with this public health paper.

Review Paper: 4 pages, 1.5 spacing. Times New Roman font, size 12 Directions 1. Identity a public health problem to be addressed. In your paper, briefly describe the public health problem, risk factors and populations that are disproportionately affected by the problem 2. In your paper, briefly describe interventions and/or prevention measures that address this problem. 3. Pick one intervention or prevention measure that you would like to focus on for the rest of your assignment. 1. Note: I recommend picking an intervention or prevention measure that has already been tried and found to be an evidence based practice or promising practice (reference below for resources) 4. In your paper, focus the remaining questions on the intervention or prevention measure you chose. What activities would you include as interventions to address the problem? 5. In your paper, identify what resources you will need (staff, funds, program components, etc) 6. In your paper, explain what the projected outcome/impact of your program? In other words what do you expect to 7. In your paper, describe the type of evaluation methods would you use to measure the proposed impact of your 8 Using a basic logic model approach, diagram your proposed plan and the outcomes for the program.

Explanation / Answer

Fluoride (F–) in drinking water has both beneficial and harmful effects on human health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the permissible limit of F– in drinking water is 1.5 mg/L. In view of the environmental and socio-economic conditions of the Indian subcontinent, the desirable limit of F– is set at 0.60 - 1.20 mg/L and the maximum permissible limit, in absence of any other source, is set at 1.5 mg/L for drinking. Small concentration of F- (0.6 - 1.20 mg/L) is essential for normal mineralization of bones and the formation of dental enamel. A low content of fluoride (F– < 0.60 mg/L) causes dental carries and prolonged consumption of fluoride contaminated water (F– > 1.20 mg/L) can lead to fatal diseases like dental and skeletal fluorosis. The health hazards due to consumption of fluoride contaminated water is not curable till date and the problem only can be prevented if fluoride contaminated water consumption is stopped.

The occurrence of high fluoride (F–) in groundwater has drawn significant attention throughout the world, since groundwater is the main source of F– intake. Fluoride contamination in groundwater is mainly a natural phenomenon and is governed basically by the climate, composition of the host rocks and hydrogeological conditions. The areas with semi-arid climate, crystalline rocks and alkaline soil are mostly fluoride affected. The F– is generally derived from the dissolution of fluoride bearing minerals such as fluorite, fluorspar, cryolite, fluoroapatite etc. present in the country rocks.

High fluoride concentrations have been found in many parts of the world, particularly in parts of India, China, Central Africa and South America, but high concentrations can be encountered locally in most parts of the world. 17 of India's 29 states and 7 union territories have naturally high levels of fluoride. About 25 million of people are suffering from fluorosis in India (highest among the 29 countries known to have excess fluoride in drinking water).

Groundwater accounts for about 88% of drinking and other domestic uses in rural India. The quality of groundwater plays an important role in the socio-economic development of rural people as it is directly related to the health. Since, groundwater forms the main source of drinking water supply in rural areas, generation of a reliable database on quality parameters and scientific study towards understanding of the spatio-temporal distribution pattern of F– concentration in groundwater, genesis and enrichment mechanism are essential for proper management and sustainable development of groundwater in the fluoride affected regions.
