This era of Public Health focused on the germ theory and the demonstration of infectious origins of disease?
What is Contagion Control?
Name the 4 core disciplines of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
What are the four core disciplines are anthropology sociology demography and psychology?
Which of the following diseases can not be eradicated?
What is the common cold?
Which type of interventions take place after the initial onset of symptoms?
What are tertiary interventions?
Social status is one of the ten key categories of social determinates of health; which does social status best described?
A. emotional effects associated with feelings of inclusion and tangible benefits, such as having someone to go jogging with or having someone to provide a ride to the doctor’s office.
B. those with more education tend to experience better health compared to those with less education.
C. Societies place value on certain characteristics so that a hierarchical social structure is formed
D. By driving less and walking/cycling more and using mass transit, people increase their physical activity levels
What are societies place value on certain characteristics so that a hierarchical social structure is formed?
Which of the following best describes the mortality due to drug overdoses in the United States?
A. Deaths from drug overdoses imply the use of illegal drugs
B. Deaths from drug overdoses exceed those from motor vehicle injuries.
C. Deaths from motor vehicle injuries exceed those from drug overdoses
D. Deaths from drug overdoses have declined rapidly in recent years.
What are deaths from drug overdoses exceed those from motor vehicle injuries?
Which social science discipline does the following describe; Social and cultural influences on individual and population decision-making for health with a global perspective?
What is demography, anthropology, public policy, and sociology?
Which characteristics of diseases make eradication possible?
What is no animal reservoir, absence of long-term carrier stated, and short persistence in environment?
For many centuries, these types of diseases were the leading cause of death and disability among all ages, but especially among the young and the old?
What is communicable disease?
Name two different Public Health tools that are available to address the burden of communicable disease?
What are screenings and immunizations?
What are the Four Criteria for a Screening Program?
What is
1) The disease produces substantial death and/or disability
2) Early detection is possible and improves outcome
3) There are feasible testing strategies for screening
4) Screening is acceptable in terms of harms, costs, and patient acceptance.
Out of the population health status measures, which one is used by the World Health Organization as a measurement to summarize the health of populations?
What is HALE?
Describe how barriers against diseases be used to address the burden of communicable diseases.
What are examples of barriers to the spread of infections are as old as handwashing and as new as insecticide-impregnated bed nets, which have had a major impact on the rate of malaria transmission. Barrier protection, such as condoms, is believed by many to be the most successful intervention to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The use of masks may be effective in reducing the spread of disease in healthcare institutions, such as hospitals. The same measures may be preventative in the community at large and are a routine part of winter weather habits in much of Asia.
Which one of these is not the Four Criteria for a Screening Program?
A. The disease produces substantial death and/or disability
B. There is a feasible testing strategy for screening
C. Screening is acceptable in terms of harms, costs, and patent acceptance
D. Later detection can also improve outcome
What is later detection can also improve outcome?
Preventing diabetes, reducing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), reducing tobacco use, and improving mental health are all Public Health achievements of what?
What are behavioral and social sciences?
Explain how screenings for diseases are so important and list at least two criterias for a screening program.
What is screening for disease can result in early detection of diseases in its early stage. Under the assumption of early detection will allow treatment that will improve the outcome. Successful screening programs will reduce disability and/ or deaths due to diseases. Criteria for screening programs include:
1. The disease produces substantial death and/or disability.
2. Early detection is possible and improves outcome.
3. There is a feasible testing strategy for screening.
4. Screening is acceptable in terms of harms, costs, and patient acceptance.
How do social determinants affect health?
What is social determinants affect health because they are connected with health disparities, differences in health related to social or economic disadvantages. Health disparities negatively and disproportionately affect groups of people who have experienced systematic social or economic obstacles to health.
Which of the following best describes the mortality due to drug overdoses in the United States?
A. Deaths from drug overdoses imply the use of illegal drugs
B. Deaths from drug overdoses exceed those from motor vehicle injuries.
C. Deaths from motor vehicle injuries exceed those from drug overdoses
D. Deaths from drug overdoses have declined rapidly in recent years.
What are deaths from drug overdoses exceed those from motor vehicle injuries?
Four criteria need to be fulfilled for an ideal screening program. While few, if any, health conditions completely fulfill all four requirements, these criteria provide a standard against which to judge the potential of a screening program. These criteria are:
What are
1) The disease produces substantial death and/or disability.
2) Early detection is possible and improves outcome.
3) There is a feasible testing strategy for screening.
4) Screening is acceptable in terms of harms, costs, and patient acceptance.
What are criteria of screening programs?
What is the disease produces substantial death and or disability, there is a feasible testing strategy for screening, screening is acceptable in terms of harms, cost, and patient acceptance, early detection is possible and improves outcome?
