# SEPI2: Health and Disease Patterns

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to identify and formulate hypotheses about patterns of health and disease.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: High School, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/high-school.md

## Expectations

- **SEPI2.a**: Analyze and interpret data focusing on the amount, distribution and patterns of disease within a population by person, place and time. (Clarification statement: Instruction should focus on the amounts, distributions and patterns from local and global perspectives).
- **SEPI2.b**: Use models that are based on empirical evidence to identify patterns of health and disease to characterize a public health problem.
- **SEPI2.c**: Analyze and interpret data about the patterns of illness, including at least one chronic disease. (Clarification statement: This element should include research on the top three epidemics in Georgia.)
