Given the following scenario, what research method would be best for evaluating the effectiveness of
vaccination programs in Texarkana? Explain why you’ve chosen this method as the most appropriate for this

Texarkana: Epidemic Measles in a Divided City1
Texarkana is a city of roughly 50,000 that straddles the Texas-Arkansas state line. Texarkana, Texas
(Bowie County), had a population of 29,393 in the 1960 census; the population had been stable during the
1960s. Texarkana, Arkansas (Miller County), had a 1960 population of 21,088. Although Texarkana is
divided by the state line, it is a single town economically and socially. Persons of all ages on both sides of
town have frequent contact. Churches, physicians, offices, movie theatres, and stores draw people from
both the Arkansas and Texas sides of town. People cross the state line to attend social functions such as
football games and school dances. Many families have friends and relatives who visit back and forth on
both sides of town. Private nurseries and kindergartens receive children from both sides of town. The two
sides of Texarkana, however, do have separate public school systems and separate public health
, departments.
On Tuesday, November 3, 1970, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta received the weekly
telegram of surveillance data from the Texas State Health Department. The telegram reported 319 cases
of measles in the state during the previous week. In contrast, Texas had reported an average of 26 cases
per week during the previous four weeks. In follow-up telephone calls, CDC learned from State health
