How does the surveillance system collect data from the population?
Why do you think the researcher chose this data source?
What variables did the researchers use from the surveillance system?
Do you think the data source(s) were effective or ineffective for characterizing the health issue and proposing interventions? Why? You should do some investigation into the surveillance system to answer this.
Propose a different surveillance system data source the authors could have used.
