ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
Public Health - ANSWER the science of protecting and improving the health of people
and their communities
1. healthy lifestyle
2.researching disease and injury prevention
3. detecting, preventing, and responding to infectious diseases
Steps in Public Health Approach - ANSWER 1. define and monitor problem
2. identify risk and protective factors
3. develop and test prevention strategies
4. assure wide spread adoption
Research Translation - ANSWER process where scientific knowledge is passed
anywhere along the translational pathway
ex: research findings are translated into practice, policy, or further research
1. bench-can we find a solution to a health problem
2. bedside- could the solution work in humans?
3. patients- does it benefit patients?
4. practice- can it be delivered reliably in practice?
