Incidence and prevalence estimates suggest that young people aged 15–24 years acquire half of all new STDs and that one in four sexually active adolescent females has an STD, such as chlamydia or human papillomavirus (HPV). Compared with older adults, sexually active adolescents aged 15–19 years and young adults aged 20–24 years are at higher risk of acquiring STDs for a combination of behavioral, biological, and cultural reasons. (Source: https://www.cdc.gov/std/stats16/adolescents.htm). 2. Read the following article on the reported 2016 increase of sexually transmitted diseases across the US: ″5 reasons why 3 STD′s are roaring back in America.″ https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/9/27/16371142/stds-syphilis-gonorrhea-chlamydia 3. Write a one page reflection on a campaign that could be created in your health care place of work, or in your community if that is more appropriate, to combat rising rates of STD′s. Discuss specific program features that could be created, possible barriers to the success of current or imagined programs, and how these programs could be targeted specifically at teenagers and young adults. 4. Be sure to use at least 2-3 sentences to answer each question in the prompt. Your paper must be at least one page in length, double spaced with normal margins and font size, not including footers and headers.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
