Please write answer as you were living in Denver Coloradobefore you begin crafting your discussion response for this week be sure to read Chapter 3 in Global Public Health and watch Episode One of the Designing Healthy Communities PBS miniseries.New Urbanism Principles describe a philosophy of community design taken from the book Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream your recommended reading for this week. The principles suggest that a community should promote walkability the state of accommodating walking. To do that the authors recommend the following: streets should be narrow and sidewalks wide; services should be located close to residences; garages should be in back off of alleys; houses should be close together and close to the street; and a mixture of homes of varying sizes and costs should be spread throughout the community to promote diversity. The design of the homes themselves should encourage interaction with neighbors and a sense of place.A full list of the principles can be found here: https://www.cnu.org/who-we-are/charter-new-urbanismNew Urbanism proposes a smart growth development plan of the countrys sprawling suburbs. The article Neighborhood Design and Walking Trips in Ten US Metropolitan Area discusses how neighborhood design impacts walkability in U.S. cities.After reading the article above and researching the New Urbanism Smart Score card criteria how would you rate your community the place you are using for your Portfolio Project?How does what you observed in your own community relate to what you read about in Chapter 3 of Global Pubic Heath this week as far as the importance of community health?This week look around where you live to see if you can spot any of these New Urbanism design principles in buildings or neighborhoods. (Keep in mind that the structures would probably be less than 10 years old.) Post descriptions of these buildings or neighborhoods along with any information you can find online about the building or site as to why the project was undertaken. If you cant find any New Urbanism designs at work where you live go online and find 3-4 structures or neighborhood elements that illustrate these design principles. Describe their history and why they were built.In your post also include the following points:Does your community suffer from urban sprawl?Is your community at risk of (greater) urban sprawl in the future?How would New Urbanism designs help to reduce problems you see in your community?Are there any policies that would help reduce urban sprawl in your community?

Epidemiological Study Designs
Understanding the differences among the types of epidemiological study designs is important for translating the results to public health practice. For this Discussion, you will identify and design epidemiological research studies. To prepare, review the Learning Resources about epidemiologic study designs. Then, go to the Walden Library or another scholarly library and find an epidemiological research study that was published in the last 3 months and uses one of the study designs we are learning about in this module.
– Briefly summarize the study in your own words, identify the study design it uses, and discuss what features it has that identify it as that type of study design. Do not just copy the abstract or parts of the article. Then, redesign the same study using a different study design than the authors did. This does not mean finding another article on the topic. Instead, pretend you are the epidemiologist and design your own study on the topic, using the information we’ve been learning in class about study designs, exposures, outcomes, and measures of association. You are the researcher! For the study you are designing, be sure to include information on who the participants would be and how you would measure the exposure and outcome variables. Discuss why your study design is stronger or more limited than the original study design, and how you arrived at this conclusion. Finally, pose a question about study designs to your peers that is based on your post.
