For each of the four topics listed in the research section of the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document (Critical Element I), create a single two-column table in a Microsoft Word document in which you list an APA citation and a brief summary of what you see as valuable information provided by the material. Each brief summary should be one to two sentences in length. You must include at least two scholarly sources for each topic.
For the data collection results, you will submit an Excel spreadsheet that contains all relevant data addressing Critical Element II, part A in the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document. Aggregate your data in relevant tables, as you will include these in your final project. In addition, respond to Critical Element II, part B in a separate Microsoft Word document, including APA citations where appropriate.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Research. The research will provide foundational knowledge for you to select the appropriate data sets and qualitative information, in order to answer

A. Demographics as predictors of health
B. Economic indicators as predictors of health (or vice versa)
C. Leisure-time physical activity as a predictor of health
D. The economics of health
Deliverables: For each of the four topics listed above, create a single two-column table in a Microsoft Word document, where you list an APA citation and a brief summary of what you see as valuable information provided by the material. Each brief summary should be one to two sentences in length. You must include at least two scholarly sources for each topic.
II. Data Collection. From your background research, evaluate and obtain relevant government information and data. u.s. government sources include the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic AnalYSiS, the Centers for Disease Control,and the u.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Deliverables: Create an Excel spreadsheet that contains all relevant data addressing part A. Aggregate your data in relevant tables, as you will include these in your final paper. In addition, respond to part B in a separate Microsoft Word document, including APA citations where appropriate.
Guidelines for Submission: Your table must be two columns with one to two sentences provided for each topic, in a Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins. In one to two paragraphs, explain part liB in a Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-
