17
Q

To
search for these determinants,
epidemiologists use __________ or ___________ to
provide the “Why” and “How” of such
events

A

Analytic Epidemiology or Epidemiologic Studies

18
Q

To make the proper diagnosis and
prescribe appropriate treatment for a
patient, the clinician combines medical
(scientific) knowledge with experience,
clinical judgment, and understanding of
the patient.

A

Application

18
Q

Epidemiology is not just “the study of”
health in a population; it also involves
applying the knowledge gained by the
studies to community-based practice.
Like the practice of medicine, the
practice of epidemiology is both a
science and an art.

A

Application

19
Q

The epidemiologist uses the scientific
methods of descriptive and analytic
epidemiology as well as experience,
epidemiologic judgment, and
understanding of local conditions in
“diagnosing” the health of a community
and proposing appropriate, practical,
and acceptable public health
interventions to control and prevent
disease in the community.

A

Application

20
Q

Epidemiology serves as a:

A

Cornerstone of methodology of public
health research

Evidenced based medicine

Means of identifying risk factors for
diseases and determining optimal
treatment approaches to clinical
practice

21
Q

(it is used for)

Studying the history of diseases in
population in terms of profile, time &
trends

Determining the most common causes
of death, diseases and disability

A

Epidemiology

21
Q

(it is used for)

Community diagnosis in terms of
morbidity, and mortality rates and ratio.

Determining the effective control method
of disease when known

A

Epidemiology

22
Q

(it is used for)

Provision of data for proper planning
and evaluation of health services

Identifying deficiencies in ongoing
programs

A

Epidemiology

22
Q

the scientific study of
human populations primarily with
respect to their size, their structure and
their development

A

Demography

23
Q

(it is used for)

Identifying the priority areas for medical
research

A

Epidemiology

24
Q

it takes into account
the quantitative aspects of their general
characteristics.

A

Demography

25
Q

The study of statistics such as births,
deaths, income, or the incidence of
disease, which illustrate the changing
structure of human populations.

A

Demography

26
Q

the statistical study of human
populations especially with reference to
size and density, distribution, and vital
statistics.

A

Demography

27
Q

REPUBLIC ACT NO. 11332

A

the mandatory
reporting of notifiable diseases and
health events of public health concern
act. Categorized according to modes of
transmission.

28
Q

SSRCS

A

Statistical Survey Review and Clearance
System

28
Q

a mechanism
implemented by the PSS through the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)
which involves the process of evaluating
the design and instruments of statistical
surveys or censuses sponsored and/or
to be conducted by government
agencies, including government
corporations at the national and local
levels.

A

Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS)

29
Q

Many
emerging infectious diseases are
zoonotic in origin, so related data
are needed.

A

Distribution of Vectors

30
Q

Illness resulting from exposure to
environmental contaminants is
another area of public health
importance requiring
surveillance.

A

Environmental Contaminants

31
Q

Defined as the number of individuals present in a subjectively designated geographic range

A

Population Size

32
Q

Study comprises the entire study population

A

Census

33
Q

A subset of the study population

A

Sample

34
Q

The agent infects the host, which is the organism that carries the disease

Does not necessarily get sick; it acts as carriers for an agent without displaying any outward symptoms of the disease

A

Host

35
Q

The agent is the microorganism that acutally causes the disease in question

An agent could be some form of bacteria, virus, fungus, or parasite

A

Agent

36
Q

Get sick or carry an agent because some part of their physiology is hospitable or attractive to the agent

A

Host

37
Q

It includes any factors that affect the spread of the disease but are not directly a part of the agent or the host

A

Environment

37
Q

Outside factors can affect an epidemiology outbreak as well; collectively these are referred to as the _______________

A

Environment

38
Q

refers to descriptive
epidemiology,

A

Distribution

39
Q

refers to analytic epidemiology.

A

Determinants

40
Q

covers time (when), place
(where), and person (who),

A

Distribution

41
Q

covers causes, risk
factors, modes of transmission (why and
how).
