Discuss 3 examples of how public health affects everyday life correct answers 1. Washing
our hands
2. wearing a mask (2020),
3. throwing away trash/recycling.
Define eras of public health from ancient times to the present correct answers - Health
protection (Antiquity-1830s)
- quarantine for epidemics, sexual prohibition for reduction of disease transmission, dietary
restrictions to reduce food-borne disease
- Hygiene movement (1840s-1870s)
- sanitation, snow on cholera, Semmelweis and puerperal fever, vital stats for public health
and epidemiology.
- Contagion control (1880-1940s)
- germ theory, outbreak investigation on like Goldberger and pellagra.
- Filling holes in the medical care system (1950s- mid-1980s) - control of diseases, risk
factors, and high-risk population medical care. Antibiotic, random control trials.

BIG GEMS (determinants of disease) correct answers B- behavior. actions to increase
exposure to factors that produce or protect disease. Ex: smoking, exercise, eating a particular
diet, alcohol, unprotected intercourse, seat belts.
I- infection. long exposure to infections contributes to disease. Ex: cancers in liver, gastric &

G-geography. Malaria, chagas disease, schistosomiasis, and Lyme disease occurs only in

E- environment. earthquakes, volcanos, exposure to toxic substances, air pollution, hazards
on highways.
M- medical care. access to the medical care and be determinant of disease
S- socioeconomic-cultural. education, income, and occupational status.
