what killed us back then - correct answer-TB
Gastroenteritis
Diphtheria
Polio
Influenza/Pneumonia
what kills us now - correct answer-Heart Disease, cancer, unintentional injuries, lower
respiratory disease
shift in causes of death - correct answer-from acute (infectious) to chronic disease; most
chronic health problems are preventable
levels of prevention - correct answer-primary, secondary, tertiary
primary prevention - correct answer-efforts that forestall onset of illness or injury before
evidence of symptoms begins ex. immunization and regular exercise
secondary prevention - correct answer-efforts that lead to early diagnosis and prompt
treatment to limit disability, impairment, dependency, or severity ex. breast self-examination
tertiary prevention - correct answer-efforts aimed at rehabilitation, treatment following
significant pathogenesis ex. stroke rehab programs
socio-ecological model of public health (bull's eye) - correct answer-micro- middle area of
individual behavior and traits such as age, sex, race, and biological factors, and biology of
the disease
next- social, family, and community networks
next- living and working conditions including psychosocial factors, employment status and

top 5 causes of infant deaths in 2017 - correct answer-birth defects
preterm birth/ low birth weight
maternal pregnancy complications
SIDS
injuries
infant mortality trends - correct answer-infant mortality has declined and life expectancy at
birth has increased
highest rates in non-Hispanic Black women
ancient greece - correct answer-personal hygiene, physical fitness, naturalistic concept
(disease caused by imbalance between man and his environment)
Hippocrates - correct answer-father of Western medicine, causal relationships, coined the
term "epidemic"

and aqueducts, administration- public baths, water supply, markets paid by taxes
Middle (Dark) Ages - correct answer-shift away from Greek and Roman values; physical
