For this assignment:
Have fun with this assignment! Because this is a magazine article, you do not have to write this like a paper. Your finished assignment should NOT look like a paper.
You do not have to use the standard APA written assignment formatting, but aim for 2 to 3 written pages. However, you need to cite the sources you used on an APA reference page at the end of the article.
You need to include appropriately cited research about your local health department and its programs. Your sources should be integrated into the paragraphs.
