| c. | Use of key informants, such as local social service personnel, nurses, and physicians |
| d. | Statistics from local public reports about race, marital status, population density, and substance abuse |
ANS: B
Epidemiological studies examine the incidence (number of new cases) and prevalence (number of current existing cases) of a disease or disorder in a defined population over a specified period. The nurse who is trying to plan for services would find these data very helpful. The remaining options refer to other methods of assessing community needs, but they are not as well suited to gathering the data identified by this question.
