lol no i mean diseases like influenza that might appear on tests. I don't know about other regions, but for NY some of the disease scenarios given resemble real life disease epidemics. something like that.

well in PA they usually always have something about cholera and food poisoning and stuff
but the disease scenarios are about very uncommon diseases so i dont think they're real

I believe it is "effect of population growth on public health outcomes," or something to that effect.

The rules state that event writers should use real data when possible. I can tell you that the NY regional events last year used real data, but I didn't see the State events. Personally, I would put money on influenza playing a major role in at least one of the events, probably both.

I did this event last year, and got second in the state... Is it just best to do sample scenarios if u know all the calculations, or should i keep studying? BTW, is this years still population growth?
