Identifying Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in a Local Population

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In this capstone project, students can identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a local population.

Students can use data from health surveys, medical records, and public health records to examine the prevalence of risk factors such as smoking, obesity, and hypertension. They can also explore the relationship between these risk factors and the incidence of cardiovascular disease and examine strategies for reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease in the local population.

Analyzing the Impact of Social Determinants on Health Outcomes

Social determinants of health are factors that influence health outcomes, including education, income, and access to healthcare. In this capstone project, students can analyze the impact of social determinants on health outcomes in a specific population.

Students can use data from health surveys and public health records to examine the relationship between social determinants and health outcomes such as life expectancy, infant mortality, and disease incidence. They can also explore the impact of interventions such as social programs and policies on health outcomes and examine strategies for addressing social determinants of health.
