Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
is a proposal for a public health program designed to address heart disease in persons over the age of 65. The location is Erie County, Pennsylvania, where a well
developed community focus already exists. The purpose here is to take full advantage of that well developed focus to provide another point of prevention of heart disease in the
area. The Aggregate and Assessment Data The specific aggregate of interest is that consisting of
senior citizens over the age of 65 with heart disease. Additionally, this aggregate is further limited to those senior citizens involved with the Erie Center on Health and Aging,
a nonprofit coalition of public and private health-focused initiatives. Demographic Data Erie County, Pennsylvania is
located on the Southern shore of Lake Erie in an area that typically has been industrial along the shoreline and agricultural in the interior portions. The US government reports
that the area is losing individuals as industrialization wanes, increasing the percentage of older people in the area. By 2001, persons over the age of 65 comprised about 14
percent of Erie Countys population. Overall, 90.9 percent of the total population is white. The most commonly reported nations of origin in
Erie County are European, yielding a rather homogeneous population and one on which most heart disease research has been centered. It is also a stable population: only 28
percent of the areas residents lived in a different county in 1995, 65 percent lived in the same house in 2000 that they lived in during 1995.
