Additional Information Flashcards
This study is also known as the British Doctors Study.
Doll and Peto Study
These two people are prominent epidemiologists known for their research on the relationship between smoking and lung cancer.
Sir Richard Doll and Sir Richard Peto
This method counts individuals based on their usual place of residence.
De jure Method
True or False: The de jure method has people enumerated at their usual place of residences and is dependent on their current location at the time of census.
False, they are enumerated in their place of residence regardless of location.
This is the collection of data through surveys and field visits to households.
Census
This is the chosen method in the Philippines when getting population census.
De Facto Method
These are a set of guidelines used to assess the likelihood of a causal relationship between an observed effect and a putative cause in epidemiological studies.
Hill’s Criteria for Causation
This method is the strongest support for causality experiments.
Hill’s Criteria of Causation
This is the epidemiologist that proposed the Hill’s Criteria.
Sir Austin Bradford Hill
This refers to the causal association which can be explained by biological or social processes, but absence of knowledge is also not evidence of lack of causation.
Theoretical Plausibility
This is a demographic measure that represents the number of live births per one thousand (1,000) women of reproductive age (15 to 49) in a given population within a specific time period.
The General Fertility Rate (GFR)
This is the formula for GFR.
(Live Births / Women of Reproductive Age 15-44) x 1000
This is a demographic measure that expresses the number of males per 100 females in a population. It is often expressed as the number of males per 100 females.
The Sex Ratio
This is the formula for calculating the sex ratio.
(Number of Females / Number of Males) x 100
This is a demographic indicator that measures the number of dependents (those typically not in the labor force) relative to the working-age population.
The Age Dependency Ratio
This is the formula for calculating the Youth Dependency Ratio.
(# of ages 0-14 / # of ages 15-64) x 100
This is the formula for calculating the Elderly Dependency Ratio.
(# of ages 65 and older / # of ages 15-64) x 100
This is the formula for calculating the Age Dependency Ratio.
Youth Dependency Ratio + Elderly Dependency Ratio
This distribution is one that does not have a distinct mode or peak.
Non-modal
This distribution contains values that are relatively evenly spread out and there no specific value or range of values that occurs more frequently than others.
Non-modal
This distribution has two distinct modes or peaks.
Bimodal
This distribution has two values in the data set that occur with high frequency than others. They have two prominent peaks when visualized.
Bimodal
This distribution has three distinct modes or peaks.
Trimodal
This distribution has three values that occur more frequently than others and has three peaks when visualized.
Trimodal
This distribution has a single mode or peak.
Unimodal
This distribution is most commonly encountered in statistical distribution.
Unimodal
This is a demographic measure that represents the difference between the crude birth rate and the crude death rate in a given population.
The Rate of Natural Increase (RNI)
This is the formula for calculating RNI.
(Cure Birth Rate) - (Crude Death Rate)
