The World Health Organization’s Statistical Information System is an interactive database that compares health indicators for multiple countries

In preparation for this Assignment, consider the value of using standardized quantitative health measures or indicators to compare information internationally. Examine the indicators’ definitions in the Learning Resources, including pages 55-62 of the Shi and Singh (2015) textbook.

Use the WHO website in this module’s Learning Resources to examine country statistics and profiles. Create a table to record data related to three health indicators for the three countries (i.e., the two you have selected to compare with the United States for a total of three countries) as illustrated in the “Module 5 Example” document (located in the Learning Resources).

Once your table is complete, compare the data and analyze it in light of the information presented in this module’s Learning Resources and the research you conducted for Discussion 2. What insights does this comparison give you about health and disease within the US healthcare delivery system and the systems of the other countries you selected?

The Assignment

Write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you:

• Identify the two countries that you are comparing with the United States.
• Define the three health indicators you have selected for your analysis and explain why you chose them.
• Include the table you created to record and compare your data.
• Summarize your comparison results, sharing at least two insights you gained through this analysis of health and disease in the United States and your two selected countries.
