Write My Essay For Me

You should use a variety of resources for this assignment. At least two sources must come from peer-reviewed journals. The indicator that one would chose would be the Maternity Morality Ratio (MMR). This was interesting to me to see how many women could die after the birth of their child. The ratio is higher in countries that are not equipped to have the birth that Canada and the United States has however, if we continue to help others this would improve.

Building on your research from Module 1 Case Assignment, discuss the following: MMR

1. An overview of the selected population.
2. A description of the disease (transmission, prevalence, etc.).
3. A description of potentially relevant cultural factors related to the health issue or disease.
4. Cultural factors such as language, diet, expectations regarding health care, and the role of traditional healing.
5. Environmental and social factors such as climate, economy, and politics.

Length: 2–3 pages (excluding the cover page and reference list), double-spaced.
