- An epidemiologist presented information regarding the annual
prevalence (number of cases per 1,000) of adolescent pregnancy to a
local health planning board. The epidemiologist compared data for
the local county with data for the United States as a whole. One of
the members of the planning board objected that this comparison was
not valid because the county is much smaller than the entire
country. From an epidemiologic perspective, was the objection a
valid one? Why or why not? (2 points) SHOW ALL WORK.
