Epidemiological Case Study

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research a national (United States) or international (outside the United States) reportable disease. Locate charts and tables relating to the leading causes of death because of the disease.

• A brief description of the disease you selected for your research
• A brief summary of your research and findings
• A detailed description of the data in terms of person, place, and time
• A detailed description of the potential problems relating to the completeness and quality of data
• A description of how the potential problems can influence the way you use data to explain the patterns of variation in a population and the causes of changes in disease trends

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.
