The epidemiologist described in the question is utilizing descriptive epidemiology, as they are describing the distribution of the disease within a population. Analytical epidemiology involves investigating the causes of a disease or health outcome, while experimental epidemiology involves conducting interventions or trials to test the effectiveness of preventative or therapeutic measures. None of these choices is the correct answer as the question is explicitly asking about a specific type of epidemiology.
