Name this figure
How it is used.
How does it help with communicable disease treatment.
What are the 3 elements of epidemiological triangle? Epidemiology is the study of the relationship between an agent, host and environment. In communicable diseases, the model helps the epidemiologist map out the relationship between the agent or the organism responsible for the disease and the host (person) as well as the environmental factors that enhance or impede transmission of the agent to the host. The value of this model lies in the fact that it helps in the development of interventions.
Acquired through exposure to the agent. It is long-lasting and can last for life, as when a person who had mumps as a child remains immune for the rest of his life.
Transferred from one individual to another. It can occur naturally or artificially and lasts for only a short time. Passage of immunity from the mother to her infant is an example of natural passive immunity. Artificial passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies and can be done in various forms.
What is active immunity.
What is passive immunity
3 forms of distracted driving.

Substance in the top 10 risk factors for mortality and in the top 2 of 3 causes of preventable death.
What is alcohol.
A tool used to help epidemiologists study health and wellness as well as determine which interventions will help improve the health of populations.
What is biostatistics.

What is, to determine course of treatment.
A= The total number of accumulated cases of a disease or illness both new and pre-existing at a given time.
A= Number of new cases during an epidemic period
I= The proportion of persons exposed to an infectious agent who become infected by it and the specific route of infection.
S= Determining and monitoring “how much there is” of diseases, health conditions, environmental disasters, or other risk factors. The CDC defines public surveillance as “the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health-related data essential to planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice.”
A= involves the deployment of public health professionals including nurses to identify cases of a disease or health condition under surveillance
P= when data are collected based on individuals or institutions that report on health information either voluntarily or by mandate

What is post traumatic stress disorder.

What is the epidemic threshold.
Violence that occurs when a large group of people engages in violence, such as war crimes.
What is collective violence.
Assessment of risk associated with substance use.
What is quantity, frequency, duration, and pattern of use.
