This is for a Public Health class. This is a group project, but we are each responsible for turning in our own parts individually at this point. My group has chosen the topic of Human Trafficking in Texas. I have been assigned the subtopic of prosecution. I am uploading the assignment details and requirements from the professor.
I am also uploading the work I have come up with so far. Feel free to change whatever you like.

In this journal, examine the methods section of each article. Completing a table

In this journal, examine the methods section of each article. Completing a table will help you see similarities and differences.
Be sure to address these specific critical elements:
Use this section to compare and contrast the methods used in the articles you selected, with an eye on assessing the quality and limitations of the findings and informing future research. Specifically, you should:
Explain why the authors of each selected article their chosen methods. How appropriate were the methods to the overall purpose of the paper? Justify your response.
Analyze a difference and similarity in the methods chosen with respect to the health question being addressed in the selected articles. Explain your answer using evidence from the selected articles and information you have learned in the course.
Assess a strength and limitation of the different approaches used in the articles you selected. Explain your answer using evidence from the articles you selected and information you have learned in the course.
You will submit several paragraphs and the table for this assignment.
View the Article Review Sample PDF for an example of the type of information you should include in your response.
Submit your assignment here. Make sure you’ve included all the required elements by reviewing the guidelines and rubric.

Please watch the TED talk below, and be aware that a refugee is sharing her story from surviving a horrible trauma. 

For this final discussion, I would like you to do two things. 
1.) First, identify one concept with relation to trauma and mental health that we have engaged with at some point this semester. It can be from this week, or from the first week. Explain why you thought of the concept you did and describe it. 
2.) Second, consider what we have learned about refugees today, and the message of this powerful woman. If you were to be placed in a situation where you were helping refugee youth to cope with the changes in their lives, what are some things you might focus on? Where might you start?

For this week’s discussion please answer ONE OF THE TWO following prompts, and seek out a source from the internet that demonstrates support for your opinion: 
PROMPT TWO
1.) Describe the central difference between Gender Identity Disorder from the DSM 4, and the newer Gender Dysphoric Disorder from the DSM 5. 
1.) Identify one drawback, or area of concern surrounding the use of this Gender Dysphoric Disorder. What, in your opinion is a major limitation? 
2.) In your opinion, do the benefits outweigh the costs of the diagnostic label? Or do the costs outweigh the benefits? Please state why, and find an external source that supports your claim. 
To do this, conduct internet research on your own where you share some example that supports your assertions. You can find an article, a YouTube video, a website or any other form of media. Please include a link in your post. 
Remember that you only need to address one of these two prompts. 

By this point in the week, we can determine that there is no single causal facto

By this point in the week, we can determine that there is no single causal factor, and there is no definitive psychological profile that can help us find the next school shooter. What we do know, are those principles of Equifinality and Multifinality.  We are going to identify factors that we have explored this week that we have identified as risk factors correlated with shooting. Please watch the video below. 

Now that you have listened to his story, please identify risk factors in this man’s past that might have placed him at a predisposition for becoming a school shooter. Please be sure that you identify at least three risk factors and explain why they placed him at higher risk of doing what he nearly did. 
What does he say about how he was saved? What does this tell us about what can prevent school shootings?
Use some of the principles we discussed this week, such as sociometric status, developmental psychopathology, or the criminalization of mental health via the school-to-prison pipeline as you reference what he is saying. You do not need to use them all, but I would like you to identify one and incorporate it into your answer.
