Usability Options:

• Selected region parameter options may be leveraged in the CareQuery API as
  • A string: region = "midwest"
  • A list of strings for OR logic: region = ["midwest", "south"]
  • List of lists of strings for AND logic: region = [["midwest"], ["south"]]

# instantiate and connect
cq = CareQuery(email = "your-email",

# search parameter options available 
print(cq.glossary.list_options(parameter = "region"))
