Topic: Epidemiology: coronary heart disease in an
elderly Caucasian population in Alameda county
This week you will refine your population and problem and
compare your findings of this problem to local, state, and national
data. Consider how the nurse might help them avoid further
development, or disease progression (primary, secondary prevention
measures). To start your search and interest you might look at your
community assessment, or look at the information in your
local public health department websites, the CDC, (CDC Wonder
databases and Healthypeople 2020, 2030), and other evidence-based
websites that the CDC supports.
Refine the health data about the issue that affects your
population group, using scholarly professional literature to
support your ideas about the population at risk. Look for data at
the local, county, or state public health websites. Some examples
of health data you might consider are epidemiologic information
related to health conditions, reproductive outcomes, causes of
death, vital statistics, socioeconomic data including poverty
and/or educational levels, quality of life issues, and or lack of
access to health care due to health insurance or access to
providers. You should compare the data with state and national
trends to fully understand the extent of the problem with the
population.
