Choose a geographic community and describe ongoing

Present a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint®
presentation that identifies a local public health issue and
how it relates to nationally identified objectives by using
the following criteria:

Identify sources of data the community uses to
assess targeted determinants of health in support of these
activities.
·
Describe the data collection standards used to
determine population health concerns in this community,
such as disease definition, specified populations, and
defined time periods.
·
Describe how the data sources could be used to
determine the focus of health care in the community—
individual or the whole population—including
implications for targeted populations.
·
Identify accurate data sources that support the
community focus on the topics identified.
