Epidemiology • The MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) reports data on the 58 notifiable (reportable) diseases that are tracked by the CDC. • You will choose a notifiable diseases and collect data on this disease from the most recent complete calendar year, calculate incidence values and graph results.
