Please cite the textbook. A2. Epidemiological and demographic data can tell us much about the reality of a community. Based on a review/use of the epidemiology resources listed, please describe one health reality that you were not previously aware of that became apparent to you from reviewing data found in a source given in the following list (please provide the data and cite the source, including URL).
