Find a peer-reviewed journal article on a public health topic to write about. Give a brief summary of the article and explain what aspects of the article you were able to better understand given your learning from this week. Cite specific details from the article and connect them to course concepts. These posts are an opportunity to apply your learning to a public health research topic, which will allow you to both demonstrate your understanding of the statistics concepts you have learned, and to further your understanding of the field of public health and the role statistics plays in it. Be as specific as possible, and use proper APA formatting. See Healthy Peoples objectives for ideas for topics to research.
