Preventing a disease or disorder before it happens

What is primary prevention? 

100

The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events n human populations and the application of this study to the prevention and control of health problems

What is epidemiology?
100

The occurrence of cases of an illness, specific health-related behavior, or other health-related events clearly in excess of normal expectancy in a community or region

What is epidemic?

100

An individual who has been exposed to and harbors a disease-causing organism 

What is active carrier?

100

the direct and immediate transfer of an infectious agent from one person to another

What is direct transmission? 

200

Aiming at health screening and detection activities used to identify disease 

What is secondary prevention?

200

Finding and quantifying associations, testing hypotheses, and identifying causes of health-related states or events 

What is analytic epidemiology?


200
An epidemic affecting or attacking the population of an extensive region, country, or continent

What is pandemic?

200

Individual who harbors a pathogen and who although n the recovery phase of the course of the disease is still infectious 

What is convalescent carrier?

200

Occurs when an agent is transferred or carried by some intermediate item, organism, means, or process to a susceptible host resulting in disease

What is indirect transmission?

300

Limiting any disability by providing rehabilitation when disease, injury, or disorder has already occurred and caused damage

What is tertiary prevention? 

300

Characterization of the distribution of health-related states or events

What is Descriptive epidemiology? 

300

The ongoing, usual, or constant presence of a disease in a community or among a group of people

What is endemic?

300

Individual who has been exposed to and harbors a pathogen but has not become ill to show any of the symptoms of the disease 

What is passive carriers?

300

When droplets or dust particles carry the pathogen to the host and cause infection

What is airborne transmission? 

400

Requiring behavior change on the part of the individual 

What is active prevention?

400

The interrelatedness of four epidemiological factors often contributed to an outbreak of disease 

What is Epidemiology Triangle? 

400

Arising from a specific source 

What is Common source epidemics? 

400

Individual who has been exposed to and harbors a pathogen, is in the beginning, stages of the diseases displaying symptoms and has the ability to transmit the disease

What is incubatory carrier?

400

When an arthropod conveys the infection agent. t does not cause the disease itself but is responsible for transmitting the pathogen to a host 

What is vector-borne transmission?

500

Any attempt to restore an afflicted person to a useful, productive, and satisfying lifestyle 

What is rehabilitation? 

500

A person in a population who has been identified as having a particular disease, disorder, injury, or condition.

500

Infections transmitted from one infected person to another

What is propagated epidemics?

500

an individual who has been exposed to and harbors pathogen and who can spread the disease in different places or at different intervals 

What is intermittent carrier?

500

related to fomites, food, or water that acts as a conveyance 

What is vehicle-borne transmission?
