This week we will explore current events related to epidemiology. You will present a scientific article to the class. Please focus on interpreting the research question, methodology, results, and conclusions from a sample of peer-reviewed scientific literature. Please be sure the article is related to epidemiology, summarizing its contents for the class, and providing a succinct written summary. Current events must have been published within the last six months. Written summaries should include:

• State the objectives of the study
• Summarize the study design and findings
• Provide a reference of the article
• Provide your opinion on how the "average" reader will respond to the article. Will the article influence decision making or thinking? Does the article leave out any important information?
