traditional public health, and social policy
Four components of population health - correct answer ✔✔health issues, populations, society's shared

demographic transition - correct answer ✔✔change in a population from high birth and death rates to
low birth and death rates
Epidemiologic Transition - correct answer ✔✔The process of change in the distinctive causes of death in
each stage of the demographic transition
nutritional transition - correct answer ✔✔countries frequently move from poorly balanced diets often
deficient in nutrients and calories to a diet of highly processed food including fats, sugars, and salt
Population health - correct answer ✔✔the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the
distribution of such outcomes within the group
high risk approach - correct answer ✔✔focuses on those with the highest probability of developing
disease and aims to bring their risk close to the levels experienced by the rest of the population
, improving the average approach - correct answer ✔✔assumes that everyone is at some degree of risk
and the risk increases with the extent of exposure
PERIE - correct answer ✔✔Problem
Etiology
Recommendations
Implementation
Evaluation
contributory cause - correct answer ✔✔a condition that increases the probability of developing a
disorder but that is neither necessary nor sufficient for it to occur
meets 3 conditions:
Cause precedes effect in time, the cause is present before the effect, altering the cause

without having information on the individuals within the group
group association - correct answer ✔✔may suggest ideas or hypothesis about the cause or etiology of a
disease
Individual association - correct answer ✔✔Individuals with a disease also have an increased risk of
having a potential risk factor
Case-control study - correct answer ✔✔A type of epidemiologic study where a group of individuals with
the diseases, referred to as cases, are compared to individuals without the disease, referred to as
controls
cohort study - correct answer ✔✔A type of epidemiologic study where a group of exposed individuals
(individuals who have been exposed to the potential risk factor) and a group of non-exposed individuals
are followed over time to determine the incidence of disease
