Research 1 public health initiative from the local, state, or federal level that you believe is important to public health. For example, you could research a county program to increase access to healthy food for families with lower incomes or a federal program that prevents and controls vector-borne diseases (i.e., diseases from blood-feeding vectors, such as mosquitoes and ticks).
Which public health initiative did you choose, and why is it important to public health?
What impact does the use of demographic data have on that public health initiative?
What type of data do you believe is most valuable for this purpose?
How will you know if the program improved the public health for the impacted population?
