• Provide information about how the disease/condition can be treated. Max length: 1 paragraph.
• As always, be sure to cite any website or other reference that you use in researching your topic.NOTE:Because you will be citing statistics about incidence and/or prevalence, which means you will be directly using material from a source, all students will need to use in-line citations in addition to listing your sources at the end of your paper.
