Question: Identification of a Population in a Selected Community

A few indicators when choosing a population would be those identified as vulnerable or those at risk, such as the homeless, adolescents, pregnant, elderly, and those with associated health problems such as diabetes, STDs, malnutrition, cancer, obesity, cardiovascular disease, lung disease, etc.

To start your search and interest you might look at information in your local public health department websites, the CDC, (CDC Wonder databases and Healthy People 2020, 2030) and other evidence-based websites that the CDC supports.
