NR503 final exam wk5-8
absolute risk - ANSThe risk of a certain event happening in one group
odds ratio - ANSThe likelihood of a disease among individuals exposed to a risk factor compared to those
who have not been exposed
Attributable risk - ANSUsed to make risk based decisions for individuals
Population- attributable risk - ANSAmount of absolute risk of a health-related state or event in a
population that can be attributed to the exposure. This measure assumes that the exposure causes the
outcome
EGAPP - ANSEvaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention: assess validity and utility of
genetic tests, guide interventions, and predict risk using population screening
-Use PICCO questions to answer if genetic tests for a specific disease have good analytical validity, clinical
validity, and clinical utility.
- Then recommend who should be screened/tested
GAPPNet - ANSGenomic Applications in Practice and Prevention Network
Est 2009, a collaborative initiative in involving partners from across the public health sector working
together to realize the promise of genomics in health care and disease prevention
GEDDI - ANSGenetics Early Disease Detection Intervention project
Est 2009, developed a model strategy for using clinical, genetic, and family history to reduce the risk of
disease, death, and disability in affected individuals, family members, and populations
HuGENet - ANSHuman Genome Epidemiology Network est 1998
Helps translate genetic research findings into opportunities for preventive medicines and public health
by advancing the synthesis, interpretation, and dissemination of population-based data on human
genetic variation in health and disease. Systematic, peer-reviewed synopses of the epidemiological
aspects of human genes, including prevalence of allelic variants in different populations, population-
