please answer each question

As a public health professional, you are aware of the seriousness of STD infections and the potential impact these infections have on communities in Georgia. Because of your expertise as an epidemiologist, you have been asked to serve on the Govemor's Advisory Panel to recommend health policy changes at the state level. You report that approximately 65.8% of the population in Georgia is white and 29.9% is black. The remaining 4.3% of the population is comprised of persons of other races. Census estimates also suggest that 9.7% of Georgia's population is over 65 years of age. Lastly, demographic trends indicate an influx of elderly people from the northeast US. The primary reason is that these retirees are opting to relocate in Georgia rather than Florida due to the significant difference in the cost of living. Moreover, you voice concem at the first advisory panel meeting that STD infection trends are likely to vary according to these demographic trends, particularly with respect to where someone lives. That is, retirees often choose to live in more rural areas while younger individuals may prefer more urban areas. Similarly, you are aware that racial composition of Georgia's counties will vary considerably throughout the state. Both factors (age and race) could certainly influence the epidemiologic picture of STD infection throughout the state. Given your familiarity with basic demographic statistics and your skill as a public health professional, you propose that an effective STD health policy should consider a variety of population differences observed throughout the state. You insist a baseline analysis should be conducted prior to formalizing changes in public health policy. In other words, health polidy should broadly apply to all residents of the state, not just specific subgroups. Furthermore, you know that effective health promotion/prevention activities should be culturally competent and should be designed to maximize effectiveness. Therefore, a basic understanding of population differences is a requisite for solid public health practice. The other panelist agreed with your concerns and charged you with performing a baseline analysis of STD trends in Georgia. It was agreed upon that urban and rural differences were an important distinction, especially given the Atlanta metropolitan population explosion that has occurred over the past few decades. The data presented below are what you compiled to conduct the baseline analysis. It represents a five year data aggregate (2004 - 2008). It is also stratified by age, race, and area of residence (urban vs rural). occurred over the past few decades. The data presented below are what you compiled to conduct the baseline analysis.

In narrative form, describe the basic data trends observed in the table below. 2. Formulate a research question/hypothesis (focused on STDs) and recommend an appropriate study design to address your research question. 3. Justify why you chose the design you chose in #2. 4. Discuss the limitations and biases in the approach you chose in #2. 5. Describe how you would analyze the data from the study you proposed in #2.
