Week 9: Tuberculosis (TB) and Emerging Infectious Diseases
Tuberculosis (TB) remains an epidemic in most parts of the world, and a public health problem in developed countries, causing the deaths of about one and a half million people each year.
—Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2014
Emerging infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis (TB), are a public concern and have been since the 1800s. Today, emerging infectious diseases pose a challenge for public health professionals who are tasked with implementing appropriate strategies and approaches to promote health and well-being. World TB Day is one way of raising awareness among the public and policy makers. These types of campaigns open the way towards diagnosing and curing TB and other emerging infectious diseases (CDC, 2014). The decrease in TB cases and deaths in recent years has been impressive (CDC, 2014). As a current or future public health professional, you may encounter emerging infectious diseases, such as TB, in your work.
This week, you continue to examine factors and considerations for health campaigns as they relate to STIs, HIV, and AIDS. You also examine the factors and considerations for a health campaign related to TB and other emerging infectious diseases.
