NR503-Population Health Epidemiology and
Statistical Principles Midterm (Chamberlain.edu)
1.Epidemiology: The science of public health
2.Population Health: Focuses on risk, data, demographics, and outcomes
3.Outcome: The end result that follows an intervention
4.Aggregate: Defined population
5.Community: Composed of multiple aggregates
6.Data: Compiled information
7.Prevalence: Measures the existence of all current cases within a time
frame
8.Incidence: Measures the appearance of new cases
9.Surveillance: Collection, analysis, dissemination of data
10.High-risk: Increased chance of poor health outcome.
11.Morbidity: Presence of illness in population
12.Mortality: Related to the tracking of deaths within an aggregate
13.Community Health: The health status of a defined group of people
and the actions and conditions to promote, protect, and preserve
their health
14.Population-base research: Addresses health outcomes, health
determinants, and policies and interventions that link the two in efforts
to improve population health and ameliorate health disparities.
15.Observation: The act of noticing and describing events or
processes in a careful, orderly way.
16.Control trial: One of the trials you keep "normal" to compare the
effect of what you are changing
17.Infectious disease: A disease that is caused by a pathogen and that
can be spread from one individual to another.
18.Chronic disease: a disease that develops gradually and continues
over a long period of time
19.Environmental exposures: Being in the presence of some
substance in an environment. Typically, that substance is pollution or
a hazardous waste.
20.Reproductive Health: Sexual health, autonomy, reproductive
freedom/deci- sion-making
21.Genetics: The scientific study of heredity
22.Data Critique: Checking sources for validity, reliability, and credibility
23.Primary prevention: Prevents the onset of disease; reduce the
1/
5
, incidence of disease.
24.Secondary prevention: Detect disease early and preventing it from
getting worse
25.Tertiary prevention: Reducing the symptoms of a disease and improve
quality of life.
26.Social Justice: Justice in terms of the distribution of wealth,
opportunities, and privileges within a society.
