PUBH 201 - COL #1
group association - correct answer ✔✔a hypothesis about the cause of a disease without having
information
on specific individuals within the group
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
randomized control trial - correct answer ✔✔has a treatment group and a control group; the treatment
group receives the treatment under investigation and the control group either receives no treatment, a
placebo, or the current standard of care
Acillary criteria - correct answer ✔✔O Strength of the association
O Dose-response relationship
O Consistency
O Biological plausibility
Classification of recommendations - correct answer ✔✔oQuality of the evidence
oNet benefit
Primary - correct answer ✔✔intervention before something occurs
secondary - correct answer ✔✔intervention may already be happening/early detectio
, Tertiary - correct answer ✔✔intervention has the disease-treat and cure-manage symptoms
RE-AIM - correct answer ✔✔Reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance
Health-adjusted life expectancy - correct answer ✔✔a quality of health measurement
disability-adjusted life year - correct answer ✔✔impact of specific diseases
single case - correct answer ✔✔first report of a disease (AIDS)
Statistics - correct answer ✔✔death rate, spouse abuse levels
Survey sampling/data - correct answer ✔✔disease registries
self-reporting - correct answer ✔✔monitoring drugs and vaccines as reported by those affected
sentinel surveillance - correct answer ✔✔flu monitoring to identify start of an outbreak; A surveillance
system in which a pre-arranged sample of reporting sources agrees to report all cases of one or more
notifiable conditions.
Syndromatic Surveillance - correct answer ✔✔use of symptom patterns to raise alert of new disease
dread effect - correct answer ✔✔hazards that easily produce very visual and feared consequences (shark
attack)
unfamiliarity effect - correct answer ✔✔hazards we lack experience with may elicit more fear
uncontrollability effect - correct answer ✔✔hazards out of our control as perceived as more threatening
(plane crash)
