Mini Assignment: Health-Risk Behaviors

Choose 1 data sets from Sexual Health: Finding Health Data and Statistics or any other data set that you are aware of that captures data on sexual health and behaviors (For example, A Colorado option might be Healthy Kids Colorado). It may be helpful to consider the population it's targeting ( adolescents, adults, etc), the questions that are asked (and for WHO, and HOW, etc...). (PLEASE PROVIDE LINK TO THE SURVEY YOU ARE DISCUSSING

Consider the articles on what we need to consider when thinking about sexual health and behavior. Consider other articles and discussions from the semester, and your own take on them and the discussions you have been having.

Critique the surveillance systems - are they capturing what articles and discussion we have had are suggesting? Are the articles and the surveys missing something entirely? Are we asking questions that are actually going to get us toward answers and data that we can use to begin creating interventions, programming, education... data that is RELEVANT to the populations we are working with and that can really get us thinking about WHAT SEXUAL HEALTH IS? What SHOULD we be asking?

FYI: It may be helpful to pick a population and then a sexual health topic or population of interest (instead of sexual health broadly), but feel free to also think how we might capture it in a broad way.
