For this discussion, you will obtain monitoring data analyzed within a Healthy People objective, and then interpret this information for its influence on the decision-making process.
Step 1—Healthy People Data Visualization: Visit the DATA2020 database for Healthy People (i.e., the Data Search tab on www.HealthyPeople.gov ). From the Topic Area drop-down menu, select any area of interest. Click the Search button to review search results. On the results page, scroll through the entries and select one (1) Healthy People Objective that has a View Chart button. This will open a new page that depicts a visual representation of this Healthy People objective’s data. Take a screenshot of this data visualization (you will insert this into your initial post).
Step 2—Public Health Research, Policy, or Practice: identify a peer-reviewed journal article pertaining to the topic area you selected in Step 1. The article should be published in a public-health specific (i.e., nonmedical) journal and should involve research, policy, or practice within the topic area. Download the full text of this article and review it carefully.
Using the data visualization (from Step 1) and the journal article (from Step 2), please proceed with your initial discussion post.
