What is the long term history associated with it and when was it first identified as a topic of concern? Describe the chronological advancement of the topic (i.e. how it has progressed over time, what factors were involved in allowing it to grow). Harmful Impact After listing the affected population in number 1, expound now with an explanation of the harmful effects of the issue occurring in society as it exists, what problems are now known? If disease related (or addictive behavior), what are the signs/symptoms and associated effects. Topic Addressed – Improving/Preventing How is the topic currently addressed?
