Students are required to choose a community, neighborhood, town, or city in the state of Maryland, identify one of the major issues that affects that area (must be supported by data), then conduct a literature search to identify interventions that have been used to address the issue. Students will then make recommendations for appropriate intervention(s) for the issue/problem identified based on research/evidence.
