    • Do SES, race/ethnicity, gender/ gender identity, rural/urban residence impact your health issue?
    • Do other social, individual, or environmental determinants impact your health issue?
  • Primary prevention: How to prevent the issue from occurring
  • Secondary prevention: Screening, diagnosis, and early detection (if this applies to your issue)
  • Tertiary prevention: Rehabilitation, preventing disease progression (if this applies to your issue)

As you discuss the topics above, incorporate findings from different types of epidemiological studies (case-control, cohort, meta-analysis) of your public health problem.
