CPH EXAM COMPREHENSIVE
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS || ALREADY GRADED A+
<BRAND NEW VERSION>
Ottawa Charter -
answer) Integrates health and policies that are not health-related.
Jacobson vs Massachusetts -
answer) Mandatory vaccination.
Survival bias -
answer) Research where women participants could not be studied because they had passed away.
Case-control study -
answer) Begin with the outcome, identify your "case with the disease," and look back in time to
see who was exposed. Utilize odds-ratio to measure the relative frequency of an exposure.
Cohort Study -
answer) Initiate with the exposure, proceed forward to track the outcome (who develops the
disease). Use probability to ascertain the risk of disease.
Odds Ratio -
answer) Relates disease status to exposure. It can never be a negative value. A value of 1
indicates no difference in odds. A value greater than 1 (e.g. 5) suggests a higher likelihood, while
a value less than 1 (0.25) indicates a lower likelihood. Check the confidence interval (CI); if CI =
(0.9 - 11.2) crosses ‘1,’ it is not significant. If the relationship between disease and smoking (OR)
= 2.0, it means that smokers have double the odds of developing the disease compared to non-
smokers.
, Homoscedasticity -
answer) Refers to 'same' 'scattered,' indicating the stability of variance of a measure across
different levels of factors.
Primary intent of HIPAA -
answer) To enhance access to health insurance, reduce administrative costs, combat fraud and
abuse, and safeguard the privacy of health information.
Active immunity -
answer) Protection provided by an individual's own immune system, typically lasting for a long
duration.
Passive immunity -
answer) Defense provided by transfer from another individual or animal that is temporary and
diminishes over time.
Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) -
answer) The main focus is on Behavioral intention, emphasizing attitudes (normative beliefs) and
perceived norms (subjective norms).
Transtheoretical model (Stage of change) -
answer) Action pertains to behavior change lasting less than 6 months.
Waterborne disease -
answer) Includes cryptosporidium parvum, E. coli, and Entamoeba histolytica.
Water contamination -
answer) Chlorination of drinking water can lead to contamination through the formation of
trihalomethanes (e.g. chloroform/bromoform).
