Background
Incorporating the concepts that you have learned in our textbook (e.g. inequality in health, immigration, aging and the life course to name a few), the video and podcast links provided to you, and the data you collected in the data collection step, you are to write a five page paper discussing why certain trends in health behaviors (the topics will depend on what variables you selected) are present in your selected states and how that is contributing to rates of COVID-19 diagnoses and deaths.
For example, you could talk about the role of health inequality, or where people receive healthcare, or how access to healthcare technologies is contributing to specific trends. What about someone’s age, racial identity, or where someone works result in particular health outcomes? The goal is for you to practice writing creative discussion combining descriptive statistics and sociological concepts to explain why certain trends in this pandemic exist.
