1. The science of public health; concerned with the study of factors
determin-
ing and influencing the frequency and distribution of disease, injury, and
other health-related events and their causes.
Answer> Epidemiology
2. Focuses on risk, data, demographics and outcomes for large groups;
focus of care at aggregate and community levels and examination of
environmental, occupational, cultural, and socioeconomic dimensions of
health
Answer> Population Health
3. An end result that follows some kind of healthcare provision,
treatment, or intervention and may describe a patient's condition or
health status; out- comes measurement refers to collecting and
,analyzing data using prede- termined outcomes indicators for the
purposes of making decisions about healthcare
Answer> Outcome
4. A group of persons who share one or more traits or characteristics
without necessarily having had any direct social connection. Defined
subpopulation used as the organizing unit for care; can be defined by
ethnicity, religion, geographical location, age, occupation, shared
diagnosis, shared risk factor; most common is the high-risk aggregate.
Ex
Female doctors (all are female, all are doctors, all are both)
Answer> Aggregate
5. Composed of multiple aggregates
Answer> Community
6. Compiled information
Answer> Data
7. Measures the existence of all current cases within a time frame
,Answer> Prevalence (Think
Prev-A-lence = ALL or (P)resence)
8. Measures the appearance of new
cases Think What is "in" is "new"
Answer> Incidence
9. Is the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and
dissemi- nation of health data to help guide public health decision
making and action.-
Answer> Surveillance
10. Increased chance of poor health outcome
Answer> High Risk
11. The presence of disease/illness in a population or
aggregate Morbidity = disease
The 2 primary measures are incidence and prevalence.
Answer> Morbidity
weekly updates of reportable diseases can be accessed electronically
through the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published by
, the CDC
12. Related to the tracking of deaths within a population or aggregate
Mortality = deaths
Answer> Mortality
13. The process of altering susceptibility or reducing exposure to
susceptible
individuals and includes general health promotion and specific
measures designed to prevent disease prior to a person getting the
disease; carried out during the stage of susceptibility.
Examples
Immunization. Healthy diet. Exercise.
Answer> Primary Prevention
14. Screening and diagnosis of disease. The early detection and prompt
treat- ment of disease at the earliest possible stage; goals are to either
identify and cure a disease at a very early stage or slow its progression
to prevent com- plications and limit disability; carried out during the
preclinical or presympto- matic stage of disease; examples are screening
programs designed to detect specific diseases in their early stages while
