Module 12 Discussion
Define what is meant by the term built environment.

Module 12 Assignment
Review the assigned readings on injuries in the textbook (Jacobsen, 2019) and the GBD Compare Viz Hub website (IHME, 2018).
Use the interactive IMHE display to identify the leading cause of death in 2017 in a given country of your choice (different from U.S.) in terms of injuries (hint: the color green – lower right corner – denotes causes in the injury category)? Be sure to select “Deaths” (not YLDs or DALYs or YLDs) as the Measure. Therefore, select All as the Age, and then: a) Both as the Sex in the Settings.”
Write in a paragraph form a) the country chosen and most lethal inquiry b) at least one important fact from the other assigned readings about the burden of this specific type of injury, c) one intervention recommended for reducing the number of deaths.
