The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states in specified populations, and the application of this study to control of health problems
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/triad?
200
A contagious or non-contagious power that causes a health concern.
What is the agent?
200
This involves contact between a person with the disease and another person.
What is direct transmission?
200
This level of prevention may include rehabilitation or palliative care
What is tertiary prevention?
200
Number of people with a disease in a population at one point in time/Total in the given population at same point in time
What is prevelance? (i.e. prevalence of HIV in IV drug users)
300
Who, what, where, when, person, place, and time.
What are epidemiology variables/descriptive epi?
300
According to the epidemiology model/triad, this is needed for disease to happen?
What is the interaction of the agent, host, and environment
300
Touching, skin to skin contact, and sexual intercourse.
What are types of direct transmission?
300
Reasonable evidence there is a connection between a stressor (environmental factor) and a health issues (or disease).
What is association?
300
Number of new cases of a disease in population in given time (1 year)/Average total population in same time period
What is incidence?
400
TB, sexually transmitted diseases, and AIDs are examples of communicable diseases that must be _____________.
What are examples of reportable diseases?
400
This can move between an agent and host, causing spread of the disease.
What is a vector? (i.e. a tick or mosquito)
400
Transmission that includes a vector or vehicle such as contaminated water, or air borne.
What is indirect transmission?
400
A relationship between a stressor and disease is confirmed.
What is causation?
400
Total deaths from a specific cause in a year in a population subgroup/
Average total population subgroup for the same year
What is a specific mortality rate?
500
The characteristics of the individual, which interact with the agents, and environments determines this in each person.
What is risk or susceptibility?
500
Instead of using a triangle to illustrate the epidemiology model, this is used to illustrate the relationship between the elements of the epidemiology model?
What is a Venn diagram?
500
The unknown transmission mode of HIV in the 1980s led to this positive commonly used medical precaution.
What are universal precautions?
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
Total deaths from any cause in a given year in a population/
Average total population for the same year
