Imagine that you are working with an epidemiological team. The lead investigator has asked you to analyze and communicate health research for sound, evidence-based practices in epidemiology. Take a look around your community. What health concerns do you see? Are there any diseases prevalent within your community? Answering these questions are some of the first steps in researching epidemiology.

You can review epidemiological concerns at the global level through research conducted by the World Health Organization.
