Question 1: Identify a public health issue in a locale of your choice based on an analysis of public health data for the demographic area. Based on your research, you will conceive of a program at the local hospital, health system, or clinic to improve health outcomes for the population.

Question 2: Diabetes and Obesity

• Use the data to identify 2 endemic health issues among populations in the county. Your project will focus on only 1 of the issues, but you will need to identify a second issue if your first choice is determined to be unfeasible for this project. Your instructor will assist you in making that determination. Since county-level health data in most states is more detailed than city-level data, it is recommended that you choose a county, rather than a city. You can locate health data from the following sources:
• County Health Rankings
• National Center for Health Statistics
• County Health Department websites
• State health department
• Describe the conditions and the extent of these health problems and why you feel they warrant a program or service to address their impact on the population. Support the results of your analysis using charts or graphs that include demographic, morbidity, and mortality data.
• Provide and analyze demographic information on the county population including age, gender, income, employment and other relevant information for your program.
• Summarize the health issue you want to work on and explain your idea for a program to accomplish this objective.
