Learn how Diagnostic Techniques would have helped the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) uncover what was causing people to die in Navajo territory.

A mysterious illness was causing people of all ages to fall sick and die in the Four Corners area of New Mexico. Doctors were concerned that a deadly virus would spread rapidly across the region. People were dying and no one knew why. This case study shows how Exploration Techniques and Diagnostic Techniques including Cluster Brainstorming, Starbursting, Key Assumptions Check, and Analysis of Competing Hypotheses could have been used to help unravel the mystery.
