Discussion 1:
● Consider the following scenario:
○ Reyna was born to an HIV positive mother. During the pregnancy, her mother didn’t seek prenatal care consistently and didn’t access drugs that prevented transmission of the virus from mother to child. Since Reyna was born, she hasn’t exhibited signs and symptoms of the virus, but she also hasn’t been tested. Her mother hasn’t regularly sought care for herself or Reyna.
○ Reyna is now 18 years old, and although she hasn’t engaged in sex yet, she has a boyfriend and is interested. She decides to attend a community group for teenagers because she knows they discuss healthy options, including decisions about sex.
● Considering these circumstances are the norm in Reyna’s neighborhood, address in your post some of the topics of discussion that should occur in the adolescent group. It’s appropriate to consider the varied risky behaviors that are demonstrated by emerging adults.
● Identify areas of conflicting evidence or other perspectives.

● NOTE: Please access this CDC resource:
● Week 2: Rate Calculations
● Epidemiologists are called upon frequently to translate numbers into meaningful narratives for their readers. Your Week 3 assignment is just such an example. This discussion will give you the opportunity to practice this.
● Preparation
● For this discussion, there will be two equations. Learners with last names starting with the letters A–L will do calculation A and those with last names starting with letters M–Z will do calculation B.
● Calculation A
● Calculate the incidence rate: 4,875 healthy people are tracked over a two-year period. Over that two-year period, 75 of those people develop a particular disease. Determine the incidence rate of disease over the study period.
● Calculation B
● Calculate the prevalence per thousand: 125 people out of 5000 have food poisoning. Determine the disease prevalence per 1000 people.
● Discussion Activity
● Draft a short paragraph summarizing the results of your calculation. Your narrative should explain why you think a reader should remember these numbers and what kind of action these numbers suggest a public health professional might choose to take in response. Show all your work.
● What are the implications of your suggested action?
● Ask a probing question.
Discussion 2:
● Week 2: Prevalence Versus Incidence
● Among the core measures in epidemiology are morbidity measures known as prevalence and incidence. Define both terms comprehensively and use data to apply them to a health problem of your interest. This may be data extracted from your health department, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), or a peer-reviewed article from the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, linked in Resources.
●
● After defining the terms, please discuss the similarities and differences of the two terms together.
● From a public health perspective, in which statistic would it be more concerning to see an increase? Why?
