Disease Control and Prevention CDC Discussion
Disease Control and Prevention CDC Discussion
Look into health data for your community (either at the country, state, city, or county level). You can look at statistics from your local health department or websites such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Find a disease that is emerging in your community and discuss. Please make sure it is different than your research paper disease. Give the rates and the duration of the increase of this disease. What population does this disease affect most? Discuss what you think can be done to prevent further increase in this disease.
2. 1. What is one major issue in the public health arena that you think merits more attention than it is currently getting from the healthcare establishment, the media or the community at large? Explain why you offer that issue and how you think it might be best addressed in the future.
