Epidemiology Explore Chapters 1 - 5 of (Gordis). This covers a lot of information from the history of epidemiology through in-depth topics on how to appropriate evaluate disease occurrence through quantitative means. In this work, you need to build a community health profile of the deficits in your community. Community Health Assessments (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP) have become all the rage in health departments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have required every health department to engage in CHIPs and CHAs as a part of their accreditation process. There are robust sets of aggregated data out there both in raw form that you can download and manipulate on your own or in a pre-digested mode that has already been summarized and provided for you. Some resources that you may find helpful: · Kids Data · CHIS · County Health Rankings · BRFSS · CDC Wonder · YBRSS You can use as many or as few of the above resources as you want, or you can use Journals and other data sources to help you meet this requirement. In this discussion, you are going to assess a community of your choosing (County or State level) and select two areas in which they have poor data outcomes. You will then compare either the County to the State or the State to the Nation (USA) to build your evidence that there is an issue. This work must contain some measurement of epidemiology in some fashion. It cannot be subjective and it must be based on rates, ratios or some other type of quantitative measure (graph and numbers). This work must be 500 words or more, and in Proper APA format writing and relevant referencing.

Introduction
Epidemiology
is the study to determine the public health conditions and the factors that causes diseases. It helps to maintain the record of affected people in the society and the ways; it increases and spreads in a population. It is applied to control several health problems in a population. The ultimate objective is to reduce the rate of diseases by controlling its source of cause.
Community Health Profile
This shows the overall health condition of a population or community which are affected by either their occupation or other causes such as pollution. According to Celentano and Szklo (2019), the measurement and cause of the disease are the primary factors to remove the negative health impact from the community. Here we will study and compare the two county Amador and Calavera to the state California about the health issues and effect of tobacco smoking where the data is poorly formed.
Community Health Assessment Comparison
The health of the communities in different places of Washington shows the effect of adult smoking. Adult smoking causes pre-mature deaths and reduces the health index of a community. Here we have assessed the different health factors of two County Amador and Calaveras and the state California of U.S (County Health Rankings and Roadmaps 2018), which shows a huge difference in pre-mature deaths and high percentage of adult smoking.
