Discussion

Purpose

The purpose of this discussion is to demonstrate your understanding of interventions to address population health problems and reduce health disparities.

Instructions

Using your selected population, continue your search and appraisal of evidence by analyzing one research study that offers a potential intervention to address your selected population health issue. This intervention must be at the population level. This research study should not be one that was used in a previous course.
