the same basic organizing factors that must be assessed in order to provide care
for culturally diverse patients. These factors include - (ANSWER)communication
(verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;
social organization;
time perception;
environmental control; and
biological variations.
The NCCC uses four major approaches to fulfill its mission, including -

dissemination, (3) supporting a community of learners, and (4) collaboration and
partnerships with diverse groups.
Epidemiological Triad: - (ANSWER)host, agent, environment
Genetics - (ANSWER)The study of individual genes and their impact on relatively
rare single gene disorders
Absolute risk - (ANSWER)is the probability of an event, such as illness, injury, or
death. Gives no indication of how its magnitude compares with others

The odds ratio - (ANSWER)closely approximates the relative risk if the disease is
rare.
Odds ratio and the relative risk are used - (ANSWER)to assess the strength of
association between risk factor and outcome.
How is Attributible risk used - (ANSWER)is used to make risk-based decisions for
individuals.
Population-attributable risk measures - (ANSWER)are used to form public health
decisions
EGAPP: - (ANSWER)Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and

HuGENet - (ANSWER)Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet)
(established in 1998) helps translate genetic research findings into opportunities
for preventive medicines and public health by advancing the synthesis,
interpretation, and dissemination of population-based data on human genetic
variation in health and disease. HuGENet reviews are systematic, peer-reviewed
synopses of the epidemiologic aspects of human genes, including prevalence of
allelic variants in different populations, population-based information on disease
risk, evidence for gene-environment interaction and quantitative data on genetic
tests and services carried out according to specific guidelines.
NHANES III - (ANSWER)DC's Office of Public Health Genomics (established in
2002) formed a multidisciplinary working group with members from across CDC. It
developed a proposal to measure the prevalence of selected genetic variants of
public health significance in a representative sample of the U.S. population and to
examine the association between the selected genetic variants and disease
outcomes available in NHANES III data.
The World Health Organization defines a pandemic - (ANSWER)as a global
epidemic that spreads to more than one continent (WHO, 2009). One of the more
recent pandemics that you might be familiar with is the H1N1 influenza outbreak
of 2009.
Outbreak - (ANSWER)the occurrence of disease within persons in excess of what
would normally be expected in a clearly defined community, location, or time of
year. An outbreak may only last for a matter of days or weeks, but may last for
years
