When disease strikes a community, public health workers may go into the field and interview those people affected to help determine its cause.
In this lesson, you have learned about the importance of disease outbreak investigations in protecting public health. You have also learned that the success of these investigations often relies on several different health partners communicating their information and ideas with one another. You will now write an essay that shares what you have learned and what you think about it.
