Epidemiological Analysis of Key Health Indicators in Los Angeles County
\nObjective: This project aims to conduct a detailed epidemiological analysis of a selected key health indicator
\nwithin Los Angeles County, focusing on the analysis of disparities, determinants, and public health implications.
\nBy integrating evidence from peer-reviewed literature, this project will provide you with a comprehensive
\nunderstanding of how epidemiological data informs public health decisions and interventions.
\nWhy It Matters: Understanding the epidemiology of key health indicators is crucial for identifying at-risk
\npopulations, understanding the factors contributing to health disparities, and developing targeted public health
\ninterventions. This project will enable you to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world data, enhancing your
\nability to critically analyze public health information and contribute to evidence-based practice.
\nLearning Outcomes:
\n\u2022 Understanding Epidemiological Concepts: Understand the basics of epidemiology, including health
\nindicators and determinants, within the context of Los Angeles County.
\n\u2022 Interpreting Data from Secondary Sources: Learn to interpret and discuss epidemiological data from
\nexisting research, focusing on its relevance to public health.
\n\u2022 Identifying Relationships Between Determinants and Health Outcomes: Understand how certain
\ndeterminants influence health outcomes and contribute to health disparities in Los Angeles County.
\n\u2022 Proposing Public Health Interventions: Use theoretical knowledge to suggest possible interventions
\nfor addressing health disparities identified through literature review.
\n\u2022 Communicating Epidemiological Findings: Develop the skill to succinctly communicate findings and
\ntheoretical interventions from epidemiological studies.
\nSubmission Guidelines:
\n\u2022 Presentation Date: 4\/30\/2024 and 5\/1\/2024

\nFor example, did you find significant disparities in the prevalence across different Service
\nPlanning Areas (SPA) in Los Angeles County?
\n\u2022 Each team is tasked with selecting two determinants of the selected health outcome for a detailed
\nanalysis. These determinants should be chosen based on their significance and impact on public
\nhealth within Los Angeles County.
\n\u2022 What modifiable factors are associated with the selected indicator? Rank them in the
\nother of most important and easily modifiable.
\n\u2022 Select the top two and conduct a literature review focusing on the epidemiology of the health
\nindicator and it\u2019s association with the selected outcome.<\/p>\n
