- Describe the frequency in the population by determining the population at risk by gender and age.
- List the determinants of the chronic disease (that you select) in the US being sure to understand the definition of "determinant" and the breadth of things that are covered.
- Determine the diagnostic criteria for the chronic disease you selected.
