Module 2 Discussion

Investigate epidemiological data to learn about the leading causes of morbidity and mortality within your region, and respond to the following.

Select one of the leading causes of morbidity or mortality, and explain how one model can be applied to better understand the epidemiology of the selected disease (e.g., web of causation model or epidemiological triangle model).

Describe examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention that are used to address the selected disease.

As you respond to one peer in the Collaboration Café, consider how your findings are similar and different. What variables might influence those similarities and differences?
