Course Project Summary
• We need material, methods, and tools that can
eradicate these conditions from our society and
decrease human suffering.
– The question is can we control or eradicate many of today’s health
conditions that afflict our society? As an epidemiologist, you are not
just identifying and measuring a health problem but recommending
ways to implement control and prevention measures.
• With this project, you will identify one of the diseases
that are currently on the rise in the United States.
– You will first look at the epidemiology of the disease or health
condition.
– Then you will elaborate on past and current measures that have been
adopted for its control and prevention.
– Finally, you will attempt to answer some of the reasons as to why we
are unable to control it and what future holds for us in terms of
controlling the disease.
