Epidemiologists are concerned with population growth as it relates to potential healthcare issues. Why do rates and measures of population change use the “total mid-year population” instead of the “end-of-year population?” What makes one measurement more effective than the other?

Compose an essay addressing the topics above. You must format your paper in accordance with APA guidelines.
