Vocabulary

What is an outbreak
The advantages to the Cohort study
What are Most Accurate Observational Study Good Measure of Exposure
When should infants get their first vaccination?
What is within the first two months of life (Hepatitis B).
The general type of transmission in which includes transmission via a medium such as food, air, and liquid, which are all routinely taken into the body, and thus serve as vehicles into the body.
What is vehicle transmission
The type of error in which any error other than random error. For example, systematic error can occur if the markings on your ruler are wider. This would make the numeric measurements less than what they actually are, making all data collected inaccurate. However, trends observed may still be preserved (shifting a line vertically preserves a line, as it is a rigid motion).
What is systematic error?
A serious, potentially life-threatening infectious disease that is usually transmitted to humans by the bites of rodent fleas. It was one of the scourges of our early history. There are three major forms of the disease: bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic
What is a plague
The type of study in which compare people with and without disease to find common exposures
What is Case-Control
The continuous use of antibiotics is restricted because...
What is antibiotic resistance.
The type of transmission in which brings a type of disease upon a body by being spit, coughed, or sneezed on. If it is further than a meter away, it is actually airborne
What is droplet transmission?
The type of prevention in which occurs when selection of participants for a study is affected by an unknown variable that is associated with the exposure and outcome being measured.
What is selection error?
An animal that transmits disease. For example a mosquito is a vector for malaria
What is a vector
The type in which research similarities with traditional experimental design or RCT, but lack the element of random assignment to treatment/control
What is Quazzi Experiment?
Ebola or other disease spread by bodily fluids are very prevalent in West Africa because...
What is unsanitary conditions or cramp spaces or hospitals without cleaning precautions.
A "sub-transmission" contact transmission. The one that includes in which occurs through touching, kissing, and/or sexual intercourse
What is direct transmission?
The type of bias in which s bias results from mixing effects of several factors. Unlike selection and information bias, confounding bias deals with causation and not variations in study results
What is confounding bias?
An aggregation of cases over a particular period closely grouped in time and space, regardless of whether the number is more than the expected numbe
What is a cluster
The advantages of trial
What is Most Scientifically Sound Best Measure of Exposure
In the case of an epidemic or pandemic, governments will most likely put what into place?
What is marshal law
These are the only ways that this disease can get into the body: parenteral (mouth), via the blood, via the lymphatic systems (where lymph trains from tissues to blood), and up the peripheral nerve axons
What is vector transmission?
The type of bias in which occurs occurs when selection of participants for a study is affected by an unknown variable that is associated with the exposure and outcome being measured.
What is selection bias?
Time in between when a person somes into contact with a pathogen and when they first show symptoms or signs of disease.
What is incubation period
The 6 most common types of studies
What is Ecological - Cross Sectional - Case-Control - Cohort - Randomized Controlled Trial - Quasi Experiments
In the case of an outbreak of a disease with a high mortality rate but low rate of infection, one way to eradicate that disease from that region is...
What is quarantine.
The type of disease transmission in which occurs from a reservoir via inanimate objects called fomites. Fomites are basically almost anything an infected individual or reservoir can touch, upon which can be left a resdiue of contagious pathogen. Exceptions include the various inanimates referred to as vehicles: food, air, and liquids. Typically, it is more difficult to avoid this type of transmission than it is to avoid direct contact transmission
What is indirect contact
Recall Bias is a type of what bias
What is information bias?
