Clinical Epidemiology, discussion help

Topic 2: Clinical Epidemiology

Read the first three chapters in the text by Fletcher (Clinical Epidemiology The Essentials). Explore the CDC site, National Center for Health Statistics at https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/. This site’s information is largely gleaned from epidemiological studies and data collections.

Discuss epidemiology as the scientific basis for clinical medicine and guideline development. Explain some types of data, performance measurements and possible reasons for variations in data. Next share a bit of information or statistic you learn from reviewing the National Center for Health Statistics site.

Must be in APA format, site 3 sources, and please see attached grading rubric. Thank you.
