Concept of Community
[ send me this paper ]
In 4 pages, this paper discusses how the terms community and aggregate often are used interchangeably, and includes a discussion of whether a group constitutes a community or an aggregate illustrating that such use is not incorrect.

These all form appropriate and legitimate aggregates of the larger population as well. All these patients share commonalities in the care that they need, but beneficial interventions also can greatly vary among these subgroups. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
