Lesson 7 Discussion Assignment
- Choose a specific issue you are interested in related to chronic disease and find an article on this issue in the epidemiology research literature (using Google to search for “epidemiology journals” may help).
- Post a link to your article, and then discuss the findings of the article. What does it teach us? How will you apply the findings to your life? What role do the concepts of statistical association and independence play in your understanding of the article and the lessons drawn from it? Write at least 2 paragraphs.
- After posting your own article and analysis, read and reply to the articles posted by at least two other students. Share insights you gain from these articles as you consider them in light of your own experiences and understanding of epidemiologic principles.
