1. The science of public health; concerned with the study of factors determin-
ing and influencing the frequency and distribution of disease, injury, and other
health-related events and their causes.
Answer> Epidemiology
2. Focuses on risk, data, demographics and outcomes for large groups; focus of
care at aggregate and community levels and examination of environmental,
occupational, cultural, and socioeconomic dimensions of health
Answer> Population Health
3. An end result that follows some kind of healthcare provision, treatment, or
intervention and may describe a patient's condition or health status; out-
comes measurement refers to collecting and analyzing data using prede-
termined outcomes indicators for the purposes of making decisions about
healthcare
Answer> Outcome
4. A group of persons who share one or more traits or characteristics without
necessarily having had any direct social connection. Defined subpopulation
,used as the organizing unit for care; can be defined by ethnicity, religion,
geographical location, age, occupation, shared diagnosis, shared risk factor;
most common is the high-risk aggregate.
Ex
Female doctors (all are female, all are doctors, all are both)
Answer> Aggregate
5. Composed of multiple aggregates
Answer> Community
6. Compiled information
Answer> Data
7. Measures the existence of all current cases within a time frame
Answer> Prevalence (Think
Prev-A-lence = ALL or (P)resence)
8. Measures the appearance of new cases
Think What is "in" is "new"
Answer> Incidence
9. Is the ongoing, systematic collection,2analysis,
/ 11 interpretation, and dissemi-
nation of health data to help guide public health decision making and action.-
Answer> Surveillance
10. Increased chance of poor health outcome
Answer> High Risk
, 11. The presence of disease/illness in a population or aggregate
Morbidity = disease
The 2 primary measures are incidence and prevalence.
Answer> Morbidity
weekly updates of reportable diseases can be accessed electronically through the
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published by the CDC
12. Related to the tracking of deaths within a population or aggregate
Mortality = deaths
Answer> Mortality
13. The process of altering susceptibility or reducing exposure to susceptible
individuals and includes general health promotion and specific measures
designed to prevent disease prior to a person getting the disease; carried out
during the stage of susceptibility.
Examples
Immunization. Healthy diet. Exercise.
Answer> Primary Prevention
14. Screening and diagnosis of disease. The early detection and prompt treat-
ment of disease at the earliest possible stage; goals are to either identify and
cure a disease at a very early stage or slow its progression to prevent com-
plications and limit disability; carried out during the preclinical or presympto-
matic stage of disease; examples are screening programs designed to detect
specific diseases in their early stages while they are curable and to prevent or
