Week 7 Discussion Post
Discussion 1:
In your post, address the following:
• Identify the health conditions that are most prominent in the Pacific Islander population.
• Describe the health issues in the Pacific Islander population.
• Support your position with resources and appropriate APA formatting and citations.
• Identify areas of uncertainty, knowledge gaps, and/or information that would be needed in order to gain a more complete understanding.
Discussion 2:
Refer to Table 10-1, “Steps for Conducting a Field Investigation,” page 208 in your Introduction to Epidemiology text for this discussion.
Please choose two steps and discuss the impacts of each from an epidemiological standpoint:
• What are the major operational issues in this step?
• What are the common errors performed in this step?
• Can this step be worked in tandem with other steps or must it be done independently (or even temporarily) to successfully investigate an outbreak?
