Step One: Analysis of an Event

Conduct the necessary research to identify how your chosen topic (Cancer; - See Attached Doc.) was responded to in an urban setting. It may be a good idea to also investigate how media responded to this event.

Include the following in your detailed response:

• What was the event and who was involved?

• What was the social response?

• What was the economic response?

• What was the political response?

• Identify the physical (buildings, or other physical objects such as ambulances), psychological, and environmental factors impacting epidemiological practice and intervention in the setting.

Step Two: Evaluation of an Event Using a SWOT Analysis

Using this unit's readings (See Attached PDF & References), conduct a SWOT analysis of the epidemiological event.

• Complete a SWOT analysis by listing details from the epidemiological event under headings of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

• Write a short 1-2 paragraph explanation so that your instructor understands each section.
