Investigation of Diseases

4-1 Discussion: Investigation of Diseases

Choose a disease that interests you and describe it in epidemiological terms. This should include a brief history of the disease, a definition of the disease and symptoms, the treatment prognosis, and incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and mortality data. Also include major risk factors of the disease and populations at risk. Use current evidence to develop and support your post.

In response to your peers, compare their findings to your own and suggest levels of prevention to reduce incidences of the disease.
