Discussion Prompt

 

Epidemiology can be used to examine the population as it is, make predictions, and also understand changes that occur. It can also be used to complete community health assessments. This week you are going to consider your community, either your state or your local community

 

Describe the population of your community by gender, race, and age. Is this population fixed or dynamic and what causes this? Look at the last 100 years to determine trends that have been occurring. What would the pyramid look like for your population?

 

Also look at the four factors associated with community health assessments. How do these factors impact your community? Can you recommend interventions that could improve the health or have improved the health of your community? The following websites can provide information that will help you. In addition to these, looking at your local and state health departments can help also.
