Blog #2: Research Project

Community: Pima Indians and Diabetes

1. Internet resource: http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/DM/pubs/pima/obesity/obesity.htm

This internet site will be useful to the community that I will be researching. The site states the reason why Diabetes Type II is more prevelant to the Pima Indians than any other tribes. Still will allow me to prove a point of what kind of prevention and intervention is best to reduce the incidence rate of Diabetes Type II among the Pima Indians.

The material is useful but if I need to research for numbers of incidence rate with the current date then I may have to find other sources to find the information needed to support my research paper.

2. Article resource: http://discovermagazine.com/2005/may/native-americas-alleles

Since this article is a magazine article, no work sited is found. Although it is still a good resource that quotes are found through out the article.
