1) Explore the long-term efficacy of Western humanitarian programs that go overseas to aid lesser-developed countries; specifically infrastructure such as schools. Do these programs genuinely help the communities or are they just a modern form of colonialism that perpetuates the white savior complex?

2) Explore nicotine addiction in the younger population of the US; how has nicotine addiction changed since the popularization of e-cigarettes, and what do we know about the health implications of e-cigarettes?

3) Explore the cross-cultural differences (if any) of how people self-report mental illness. I’d like to focus on the discrepancies between WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) countries and Middle Eastern and Asian countries.

4) Analyze the prevalence of sexual assault within religious organizations, particularly in relation to the Church of Latter Day Saints. Perhaps I would broaden my scope of research to other large religious institutions in the United States. What kind of information do we have about the likelihood of sexual assault reporting vs how many instances of sexual assault are estimated? Are there policy changes or programs that could be implemented to hold the institutions more accountable? To make reporting easier and less risky for victims?

5) Explore the prevalence of polygamy within religious institutions in the United States and how it affects women’s health. Does it promote an environment where abuse against women is more likely? Where is the line between interfering with religious freedom and protecting women's health and safety?

6) “Free birthing” is on the rise among affluent white families. This is when there is no medical intervention, testing or screening during the entire pregnancy and the birth occurs (usually unassisted) at home. What are infant and maternal mortality rates like among free-birthers? Are there any concrete advantages to free birthing? Is there a correlation between people who insist on free birth and refuse to vaccinate their children. What are the overall public health implications of free birth?

1. Increase the proportion of adults with diagnosed diabetes using insulin who perform self-monitoring of blood glucose at least once daily
2. 89.0 percent of adults aged 18 years and over with diagnosed diabetes using insulin performed self-monitoring of blood glucose at least once daily in 2017 (age adjusted to the year 2000 standard population)
3. People with diabetes who monitor their blood sugar can track their response to treatment and find out if they’re meeting their blood sugar targets. This can help with decisions about nutrition, physical activity, and medications. Research suggests that self-monitoring can help reduce A1c levels within 6 months.
4. 6.5 new cases of diabetes per 1,000 adults aged 18 to 84 years occurred in the past 12 months as reported in 2016-18 (age adjusted to the year 2000 standard population)
5. Millions of people in the United States have diabetes, and it’s the seventh leading cause of death. Evidence shows that people with prediabetes who finish structured lifestyle change programs have a lower risk of developing diabetes.

Addition: I would like to cover substance use disorder and behavioral addition:
Behavioral addition that fits under the umbrella of obesity, diabetes and habits that are hard to break and why. Many people have the tool for a healthy lifestyle and diet, but what keeps them relapsing to a way of life that is destroying their health. How does this different in different communities.
Substance use disorder / Mental health - the disease model. Is our society treating all diseases the same? Why some diseases are looked at with empathy and care and others are treated with discuss and less concern in our society.  How does this effect our society when we leave people untreated.
People with disabilities: Equal treatment in society and getting their needs met. Children with disabilities that are not getting he proper education they need that works best for them to succeed for their future.

One issues I have in mind would be alcohol abuses and it’s potential dangers to the public. Whether that be from actual assaults onto others or drink driving.

Another issue I would like to research would be nutrition. I’m the past people suffered from malnutrition in the US whereas now we have rising numbers of obesity. This is also being protected by body positivity movements, the issue Is that although we shouldn’t shame people for their body we also should encourage people to pay closer attention to nutrition for their long term health.

Heart disease and in particular hypertension. I would like to see the causes of hypertension and it’s effects on people. Long term and short term and how we can treat it.

Tobacco use and how it affects our overall health. I would also like to see what the damages rhe smoker can cause to their respiratory system and those around them while they smoke.

Depression and anxiety. I know this is pretty broad but I’d like to see how depression affects people that have depression and those around them. I also would like to know what we can do collectively as a society to tackle this problem as mental health is still overlooked even though it’s brought up often.
