Discussion: Social Determinants and Epidemiologic and Behavior Patterns
Based on the research that you have so far conducted (Obesity Among African Americans in Fort Worth, Texas), consider the makeup and the history of the community affected by your chosen public health issue. Take into account social determinants, epidemiologic patterns, behaviors, and trends that are specific to the community.
In your initial post, address the following:
What do you find to be most interesting about your chosen community with regard to the social determinants, epidemiologic patterns, behaviors, and trends around your chosen health issue?
What community resources—or needs—are you most interested in researching to help address the issue?
Refer to demographic information specific to the community and provide specific examples from the source material that you are researching to support your post.
