Burden of Disease
Prevention strategies must account for the diversity of the population. Understanding how communities consume health information and access health services may greatly contribute to the prevention of disease within a community.
Considering how access to health information may contribute to the overall health of a community, consider how to make prevention messages more effective and widespread.
Read the following case study from your textbook:
