    4. Stakeholder Analysis: Explore the implications for each stakeholder (individuals, health providers, health administrators, researchers, public health professionals, and global health workers).
    5. Synthesis and Discussion: Synthesize findings from the literature review, interdisciplinary analysis, and stakeholder analysis to develop a coherent narrative of the factors driving the current health trend. Identify patterns, trends, and emergent themes across diverse perspectives and disciplines. Discuss implications for research, policy, practice, and future directions in addressing the complex challenges and opportunities associated with the health trend.
