Discussion: Demographics, Epidemiology, and Levels of Prevention
In the previous discussion, you began an assessment of your chosen community with an exploration of its history and geographic characteristics. In this discussion, you will continue the assessment process by examining your chosen community’s demographics and describing the community’s major health concerns in epidemiological terms.
Directions: In the discussion #3 forum, create a new discussion thread and address the following questions. Keep in mind that you are being asked to think critically about your community. Focus on providing insightful analysis. Support with evidence/data.
1) Using recent census data, describe the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of your chosen community. Data to include age, race, gender, ethnicity, marital status, education, income, and employment status of the local population.
Suggested sources of information include websites such as
http://www.census.gov and
www.city-data.com, but other professional, reliable sources may be used if data are reflective of recent census data.
2) Identify one major health concern within your chosen community to discuss in epidemiological terms. Identify mortality (death rates), morbidity (illness rates), incidence (rate at which a specific disease develops in a population), and prevalence (measure of all the existing cases of a disease at a given point in time).
Suggested sources of information include websites such as
www.alabamapublichealth.gov,
https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/explore-health-rankings, and
www.city-data.com.
New York City was my chosen community.
