Epidemiological Case Study

Epidemiological Case Study

Using  the Internet, research a national (United States) or international (outside the United States) reportable disease. Locate charts and tables relating to the leading causes of death because of the disease.

Based on your research and understanding, create a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document, which includes the following:

• A brief description of the disease you selected for your research
• A brief summary of your research and findings
• A detailed description of the data in terms of person, place, and time
• A detailed description of the potential problems relating to the completeness and quality of data
• A description of how the potential problems can influence the way you use data to explain the patterns of variation in a population and the causes of changes in disease trends

Support your responses with examples.
