Concerns, questions addressed, healthy snacks available, creates socialization
Based on health care, interactive learning & community building

A

42
Q

A

To predict those who will have an adverse event in order to intervene & prevent an adverse event

Q

risk of developing the disease over a period of time, **probability event will occur

A

absolute risk

44
Q

estimate of the probability of an adverse event for one group relative to another

relative risk

45
Q

absolute or relative risk…which is better?

absolute risk

46
Q

adverse events that can be directly attributed to the risk factor itself

attributable risk

47
Q

barriers that cannot be changed (Age, socioeconomic status, race)

A

48
Q

barriers that CAN be changed (Nutrition, weight, exercise)

A

Sensitivity

50
Q

Proportion of negative screens among those known not to have the condition being screened for

A

Specificity

51
Q

The true positives among all those with positive screens; reflects the probability that a positive test reflects actually having the underlying condition being tested

A

Positive predictive value

52
Q

The true negatives among all those with negative screens; reflects the probability that a negative test reflects not having the underlying condition being tested

Negative predictive value

53

positive predictive value
