2. Discuss the size and distribution of the target community
3. Discuss how your community is affected by the high-risk behavior (using epidemiologic data)
4. Use the Socio-Ecological Model to discuss risk-factors that contribute to the high-risk behavior in your selected community
Skills
• Use of Data Bases and the Internet to find health and population information.
• Use of APA for citation and referencing.
• Analyzing sources to determine if they meet assignment criteria.
• Provide evidence to verify health disparities within communities/populations.
• Use evidence to link high-risk behavior to health outcomes.
• Use evidence to link risk-factors to high-risk behaviors.

This assignment will help you to become familiar with the following important content knowledge in Health Science:
• Data bases and web sites that contain current epidemiological data
• The vocabulary of community health and epidemiology
• Identify local & national resources needed for the successful implementation of a community health intervention.
Tasks
1. Identify a minimum of six academic sources that you will use in your paper. These are in addition to the sources used for BM#1. If you received feedback on BM#1 that you did not correctly identify the risk-factors, the population or the high-risk behavior–correct on BM#2 (do not resubmit BM#1).
