Epidemiology
The capability to produce benefits among program participants
What is Effectiveness?
Incidences of cases of a disease specific health-related behavior, or other health-related events excess of standard expectancy in a community
What is an Epidemic?
Person in population who has a particular disease
What is a case?
Individual who has been exposed to pathogen and still harbors pathogen
What is an Active carrier?
Preventing a disease before it happens
What is primary prevention

What is epidemiology?
An epidemic that arise from an exact cause
What is Common-source?
First disease in population
What is Primary case?
Indirect(through a medium) or direct(immediate) transmission
what are the modes of transmission?
Prevention by behavioral changes
What is active primary prevention?
The capability to yield anticipated results among program participants and those who do not participate
What is Efficacy?
Epidemic affecting a population of a region
What is a pandemic?
First disease case recorded by epidemiologist
What is Index case?

Description of the spreading of health-related states or events
What is Descriptive Epidemiology?
Continuing presence of a disease in a population or community
What is an endemic?
Those infected by the primary case
What is Secondary case?
Individual who has been exposed to pathogen and is in early stages of disease
Prevention by treating the disease and providing rehabilitation
What is tertiary prevention?
Examining the association between exposure and health outcome; testing hypotheses, identifying health-related states
What is Analytic Epidemiology?
Victims of common-source epidemic transmitting the disease further by person-to-person contact
What is Mixed Epidemic?
Those who have the symptoms of the infection/ disease but has not been diagnosed
What is Suspect Case?
When the pathogen undergoes changes as part of its life cycle before being transmitted
What is a biological transmission?
