Hello Class,
This week, we will look at Epidemiology which is the science that public health is based on. Based on terms of demographic and epidemiological data, please consider the following questions in your posts.

Did your data support or refute the observations you made during your windshield survey? Please explain.
How does your community compare to state or national data?
How does your community compare to those of your fellow students’?
What diseases or health behavior trends are you aware of in your community or state?
