Examine Table 2-5, Leading Causes of Death in the United States, 1900, 2000, 2016 on p. 70 of Turnock’s Public Health: What It Is and How It Works. This table displays the 10 leading causes of death as a percentage of all deaths in the United States for the years 1900, 2000, and 2016. 

Then, visit the CDC and review the Leading Causes of Death to view the leading causes of death for 2020.

Compare the statistics of the findings from both graphs and consider the following questions:

• What changes have occurred in the list since 1900? 
• What factors may be attributable to these changes? 
• Do the changes to the list seem overall like a net positive or negative?
• What social, behavioral, or technological factors could they indicate? 
• How do these changes relate to morbidity and its impact on the U.S. population? 

Write a 350- to 700-word detailed answer to the questions.

Create a 1-page handout (350 words) using your findings that could be used for public health education in addition to the answers to the questions.
