Eachstudent will be assigned a specific county the  second week of class. You need to collect and synthesize all importantinformation related to  the assigned county. Use the recommended data sources addressed in the group data      presentations and add information from literature including scholarly journals, and the policy  websites listed in the syllabus on page three. More information will be posted to BeachBoard  and covered in class. Web sites for your research are on pages 15-18. In the paper, youwill:    discuss your county general information addressing all (11) required areas and develop    a health-relatedprofile.    After you have presented the current data for your county you must:                  Identify one or two of the most crucial health problems in the county (focusingon      cost, access and quality)    discuss the consequences of the problem(s)    discuss what has currently been done in the county to address theproblem(s)            recommend actions to address theproblem(s).
