Communities have different public health issues and concerns that must be addressed. An example of a specific application might include the Rural Healthy People 2010 – Models for Practice, which is a compilation of best practices in addressing rural health concerns, as seen on the Public Health Texas A&M Health Science Center website.

Choose a geographic community and describe ongoing health activities specific to identified health concerns.

Present a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft^® PowerPoint^® presentation that identifies a local public health issue and how it relates to nationally identified objectives by using the following criteria:

• Identify sources of data the community uses to assess targeted determinants of health in support of these activities.
• Describe the data collection standards used to determine population health concerns in this community, such as disease definition, specified populations, and defined time periods.
• Describe how the data sources could be used to determine the focus of health care in the community–individual or the whole population–including implications for targeted populations.
• Explain health care determinants that impact population health.

Reference your readings and at least 5 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar articles.
