The study of the the distribution and causation of what befalls the population

What is epidemiology?
100
A human in which disease occurs.
What is the host?
100
The manner the disease moves to a new host.
What is the mode of transmission?
100
If primary prevention is used during prepathogenesis or incubation stage, then this level of prevention is used when the host begins to react to the agent or in the pathogenesis stage.
What is secondary prevention
100
Total deaths of infants in given year in population/ Total # of live births in same year in population
What is infant death rate
200
This model contains the elements of host, agent, and environment.
What is the epidemiology model?
200

A contagious or non-contagious pathogen that causes a health concern.

What is the agent?
200
Analyzing the natural history of a disease involves use of _________. 
What is epidemiological triangle? Page 166
200
This level of prevention may include rehabilitation or palliative care
What is tertiary prevention?
200

Mesures all the existing cases of illness or injury at given time 

What is prevalence? ie prevalence of HIV in IV drug users 

Page 163

300
Answers the question about cause and effect relationship between potential risk factor and specific health phenomenon.

What are analytic studies? 

Page 164 and Powerpoint slide 21. 

300
This study approach relies primarily on collection of existing data and answer who, where, when, and what? 

What is descriptive studies?

Page 164 and Powerpoint slide 21. 

300
Touching, skin to skin contact, and sexual intercourse.

What are types of direct transmission?


(lecture, powerpoint slide 35) 

300

Data collected from ondoing registration of death certificates 

What is vital statistics?

Page 169

300
The number of new cases of illness or injury that occurs within a specified time
What is incidence?

Page 163

400
The investigator measures the outcome and the exposures in the study participants at the same time.
What is a cross sectional study?
400
This can move between an agent and host, causing spread of the disease.

What is a vector? ie a flea or mosquito


(lecture, powerpoint slide 35) 

400
Transmission that includes a vector or vehicle such as contaminated water, or air borne.

What is indirect contact?


(lecture, powerpoint slide 35) 

400
A relationship between a stressor and disease is confirmed.
What is causation?
400
Collected routinely and used to describe the frequency of death for a given time, place and group of persons 
What is specific mortality rates?

Page 163

500
Researcher compared personal histories of 57 cases with Parkinson's disease and 88 without Parkinson's disease (PD). Purpose of the study was to estimated a prevalence of poor diet using a structured interview. Odds ratios (OR) were determined using logistic regression model.

What is a case control study?

500

A method to monitor occurrences of public health problems


What is a public health surveillance?

(lecture, powerpoint slide 5) 

500

TB, sexually transmitted diseases, and AIDs are examples of communicable diseases that must be _____________.

What are examples of reportable diseases?

500
A model used when there are many indirect and direct causes (often including the DOH) related to the health issue.
What is a web of causation?
500
A rate can be expressed for the total population
What is crude mortality rate?
