Discussion ( 2 pages)

Based on the research that you have so far conducted, consider the makeup and the history of the community affected by your chosen public health issue. Take into account social determinants, epidemiologic patterns, behaviors, and trends that are specific to the community.

In your initial post, address the following:

• What do you find to be most interesting about your chosen community with regard to the social determinants, epidemiologic patterns, behaviors, and trends around your chosen health issue?

• What community resources-or needs-are you most interested in researching to help address the issue?

Refer to demographic information specific to the community and provide specific examples from the source material that you are researching to support your post.

In responding to your peers, provide feedback on the crucial health issue that they have discussed. Are there any determinants, patterns, or demographics that may be of additional interest? What community resources-or needs-might they have overlooked?

Additionally, in your response be sure to share any research on your own community that you think might be helpful to your classmates.
