¶ … data collection tool that can be used with your aggregate population. Make sure the tool contains the following:

• Demographics -- name, birth date, ethnicity, sex, education level, and so forth

• The questions that you came up with in Part One and any others that you feel would apply

• Two additional questions that would be consistent with the goals of Healthy People 2020

Include data points with two levels of data for each -- if you cannot find two points, a data gap exists.

(According to Healthy People 2020, HIV is a preventable disease. Effective HIV prevention interventions have been proven to reduce HIV transmission. People who get tested for HIV and learn that they are infected can make significant behavior changes to improve their health and reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to their sex or drug-using partners. More than 50% of new HIV infections (Marks et al., 2006) occur as a result of the 21% of people who have HIV but do not know it.)
