Global health is influenced by a number of factors, including access to resources, globalization, and an increasingly mobile society. Across the world, the health of individuals and populations share common concerns as a result of this interconnectedness. The United Nations established Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to target key determinants of health to reduce global health disparity and promote health equity for all.
The purpose of this assignment is to investigate a global health issue and examine the SDG that informs strategies surrounding the selected issue. Factors that influence the issue will be analyzed, and efforts aimed at addressing the issue will be examined locally and globally. Implications for advanced nursing practice will be identified.
Review the SDGs and the health issues addressed through this initiative. Select one SDG of interest and consider the variables that influence this issue. Consider how efforts to address this SDG are evident in your region and globally, along with implications for the MSN-prepared nurse.
In a 3 to 5- page paper, address the elements below. Use a minimum of 4 peer-reviewed scholarly sources, current within 5 years, to support your work. See rubric for specific, required content criteria within each section of the paper:
