• Describe an infectious disease in your community (DC/Maryland) and how it is transmitted.
• Discuss two public health programs or interventions in your community that were created to reduce the spread of the infectious disease identified.
• Explain if these programs have been successful in the community. What would you change or add to improve the intervention programs?

Your case study must be a minimum of two pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages. To support your ideas, use a minimum of three outside sources; one may be the textbook. Additionally, use a source that focuses on your community, such as a newspaper or journal article.
