epidemiology
What each epidemiology question is really asking, how to structure the answer, and where the marks are likely to sit.
Four questions that travel a long way: from disease models to why cost-control legislation failed, and then to Freire against the individualistic health education model. The last one is the one to prepare for.
Your own geographic area is the constraint, which means local surveillance data rather than national figures, and a study design you would actually be able to run there.
A milestone is a draft of a section you will submit again. The brief says the rubric criteria are identical, which makes careful work here the cheapest marks in the course.
Four goals, and the question is not whether you agree with them. It is which epidemiological method makes each one measurable, and the equity goal is where that link is clearest.
Seven content bullets, one shared word budget, and a disease chosen precisely because its numbers misbehave — HIV incidence is falling while its prevalence rises, and a paper that reports a single rate has missed the point of the assignment.
DQ 2 : Discuss three of the seven uses and applications of epidemiology
Epidemiology
Three of the seven uses, and then a harder question about prediction. Descriptive epidemiology generates hypotheses and describes trends; treating it as forecasting is the error to avoid.
