Couple of things to think about - you may consider limiting your problem to just urban environments vs rural and you may consider narrowing your population - adolescents or older adults. The interventions you select will likely be different depending on whether you want to look at an older population (say those >45yrs) or a younger population (those 18-30). For younger people a focus may be more on appropriate screening while for an older group it may be more about managing chronic illness. With regard to locality, you may even think about limiting it to your home town, Baltimore or even your campus.Publichealth_Weaver_Gregory(TA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00362466103919673148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672883202660881537.post-13667262173993032832013-03-31T12:35:30.188-07:002013-03-31T12:35:30.188-07:00Great job on your blog post!

I really like how you incorporate social/cultural aspects in your data that will be further explained later on. I like your final paragraph were you begin to talk about food and poor diets, because I am working on a similar topic (obesity). You will definitely be able to use that data when discussing its relevance to diabetes. I am excited to see what you come up with.Leslie MacManushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902431346339263007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672883202660881537.post-69320006478036475292013-03-31T12:05:17.834-07:002013-03-31T12:05:17.834-07:00I enjoy your multiple statistics and references to...I enjoy your multiple statistics and references to help show how important the and real the disease is. You also introduce some social and cultural roles like the fast food and educational differences effects on diabetes within the black community. Can't wait to see some discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the data and this paper but good job. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360713656134337076noreply@blogger.com
