Assignment: Diabetes Case Study
Read about Angelo Reyes or Jenna Riley in The Neighborhood-Pearson Health Science tab (found in the ‘Materials’ section of the online classroom).
Refer to my Disease Case Study grading criteria rubric (I have posted this in the Course Materials forum). All criteria on this rubric must be satisfactorily met to receive full credit for this assignment.
Write a 700 to 1,050-word paper focusing on the case study of either Angelo Reyes or Jenna Riley in The Neighborhood. Your paper must include the following:
An introduction
An overview of the incidence of diabetes in the United States

The potential chronic effects of diabetes on the body
The teaching requirements for Angelo or Jenna with two measurable learning objectives from each of the domains
The psychosocial challenges that Angelo Reyes or Jenna Riley may encounter
A summary
At least five references-only one of these references can be a website. I expect the other references to be from your course material readings (Larsen, Redman, and/or Sommers) or from scholarly journals.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
Access The Neighborhood Web site using the link on the student Web site.
Read the following articles in the “Neighborhood News” for Season 1:
- “Officials confirm pollution worries” (Episode 3)
- “Hotline puts family at ease” (Episode 4)

Select two of these articles and decide whether each article is addressing a public health or community health issue.
Prepare to share the articles you selected and discuss whether they address a public health or community health issue in a class discussion.
