Question
As a public health professional, you may research many areas of interest. For example, in studying how economics affects global health, what variables might you consider? In examining these variables, you may consider the significance of why this issue is essential for analysis. For this Assignment, you will explore the Final Project dataset provided in the Course Information tab and select one of the following diseases (dependent variables): malaria, AIDS, coronary heart disease, diabetes, or pancreatic cancer. You will examine the other (independent) variables available in the dataset. They include demographic variables (i.e., gender, age, race/ethnicity, income, education, insurance, urban residence, and region), clinical risk factors (i.e., BMI and cholesterol), and behavioral risk factors (i.e., alcohol and tobacco consumption, injection drug use, condom use, exercise, and fruit/vegetable intake). You will then develop a problem statement (or research question) related to your disease and 1-2 independent variables of your choice. Finally, you will begin to research this disease in the literature.
