Epi exam questions n correct answers
rated A+ 2025/2026
Public Health - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔a multidisciplinary field whose goal is to promote the
health of populations through organized community efforts
Epidemiology - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔the study of the distribution and determinants of
diseases frequency in human populations and the application of this study to control health
problems. Disease refers to a broad array of health-related states and events, including disease,
injuries, disabilities, and death.
population - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔a group of people with a common characteristic
Disease Frequency - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔a measurement that quantifies how often a disease
arises in a population. its Calculation involves establishing the disease definition, developing a
mechanism for counting the diseased cases (the numerator), and determining the size of the
underlying population (the denominator).
disease distribution - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔the pattern of disease according to the
characteristics of
person: (who is getting the disease?)
place: ( where is it occurring)
time: (how is it changing over time)
, birth and death rates - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔number of children born with defects, usually in
10,000 birth
morbidity rate - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔number of existing or new cases of a particular disease
or condition per 100 population
attack rate - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔number of new cases of disease that develop (usually
during a defined and short time period) per the number in health population at risk at the start
of the period.
case fatality rate - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔number of deaths per number of cases of disease
survival rate - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔Number of living cases per number of cases of disease
disease determinations - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔factors that cause either a healthy person to
become sick or a sick person to recover.
disease control - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔the ultimate aim of Epidemiology and refer to the
reduction or elimination of disease occurrence. it is accomplished through Epidemiological
research and surveillance
Attributable proportion among the exposed (APe) - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔the proportion of
disease among the exposed that would be eliminated if the exposure were eliminated
Hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔a tentative explanation for an observation, a phenomenon,
or a scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
what is the primary difference between public health and medicine? - CORRECT ANSWER
✔✔public health focuses on preventing disease in a communities, and medicine focuses on
treating diseases at the individual level.
