Causes of death among men in the United States

Scenario A Several studies have shown that one of the leading causes of death among men in the United States is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although high levels of blood pressure and cholesterol have been identified as significant CVD risk factors, their prevalence remains high in this population group. What factors (e.g., values, behaviors, contributions from multiple professions and public health systems) need to be quantitatively investigated to significantly control blood pressure and cholesterol levels in American men? Please formulate two research questions to explore these factors, within the context of the theory you selected for this scenario. Scenario B According to evidence-based research, most cervical cancers are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Widespread immunization with the HPV vaccine could reduce the impact of cervical cancer worldwide. However, in the US HPV vaccination continues to fall far behind other vaccines recommended for adolescents, according to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). What factors (e.g., values, behaviors, methods, contributions from multiple professions and public health systems) need to be quantitatively investigated to increase HPV vaccination rates in US adolescents? Please formulate two research questions to explore these factors, within the context of the theory you selected for this

scenario.

1)    Briefly describe the public health issue presented in each of the scenarios (A & B) above and the theoretical framework or model you have chosen to apply to address this public health issue. Examples of theories to choose from (Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Theories of Organizational Change, Social Cognitive Theory, and Socio-Ecological Model.)

2) Develop two quantitative research questions.

3) Explain how the chosen theory applies to your research questions (i.e., what is the relationship between the theory and the research questions).

4) Analyze the strengths and limitations of applying theories or models to public health issues. Include at least two strengths and at least two limitations of applying the chosen theory or model to address the public health issue presented in the scenario.

5) Support your response with at least two peer-reviewed articles, less than five years old. Properly cite/reference using the APA 7th edition.
