The Assignment:

Paper (2–3 pages)

Section I
• Summarize the health problem related to the particular community you identified for your Final Project.
• Develop a research question related to a problem.
• Provide a rationale for your selection of this question, along with supporting data.

Section II
Create an annotated bibliography of research related to this problem. In your annotated bibliography, include the following:
• Six to eight resources on the identified public health problem related to the research question.
• For each source, write a brief summary of the key points of the study. Include the problem, main research question, study type, and an analysis of the major findings. You may also include any information or notes that you believe are relevant and would be useful to you as you revisit your bibliography later.

Schistosomiasis (snail fever, bilharzias) is caused by Shistosoma trematode parasites and takes two forms: urogenital and intestinal. The snail larvae infect the human host during the contact with contaminated water sources. The symptoms of intestinal schistosomiasis include abdominal pain, blood in the stool and diarrhea. Urinal form is characterized by haematuria accompanied by frequency and dysuria. According to the World health Organization, in 2014 over 61.5 million people required schistosomiasis treatment. In the African Region alone, there were over 52 million reported schistosomiasis cases (WHO, 2016). In total, it is believed that schistosomiasis accounts for around 40% of all tropical disease cases throughout the world. Therefore, this paper will investigate the impact of human schistosomiasis in some regions of sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, this paper will also assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices related to schistosomiasis in some regions of sub-Saharan Africa.
