The development of a system dynamics model can be used to meet a number of the challenges facing implementation of a risk framework.  The system dynamics approach is best suited for which of the following time frames?

Your state’s Department of Health wants to know when outbreaks of a relatively rare disease occur. Historically, this disease is much more common in Blue-Toed Pointers relative to all other dog breeds (Odds Ratio = 10:1).
