Population (mass) or high risk (individual)

44
Q

Population Based (mass) Strategy - focus, aims, useful for, example

A

whole popl, reduce health risk / improve outcome for all indiv. in popl, common disease / widespread cause, immunisation programs

individuals perceived as high risk, well tailored to individuals, targeting obese adults

A

addresses underlying causes, large potential benefit, behaviourally appropriate

47
Q

Population Based (mass) Strategy - 3 disadvantages

small benefit to individuals, little motivation for individuals, whole popl exposed to downsides (less favourable benefit to risk ratio)

48
Q

High Risk (individual) Strategy - 4 advantages

A

benefit to individuals, motivation for individuals, cost effective use of resources, good benefit to risk ratio

cost of screening (need to identify individuals), temporary effect, limited potential, behaviourally inappropriate

Enable

A

(individual level strategy) provide opportunity for individuals to make healthy choices

55
Q

Advocate

A

(systems level strategy) favourable political, economic, social, cultural, physical enviro by promoting health, focusing on achieving equity

(joins indiv / groups / systems) opposing interests to compromise for promotion of health

59
Q

Create Supportive Enviro

A

physical social enviro, help indiv make healthy choices

60
Q

Reorient Health Services

A

focus on supporting needs for healthy lives, help reduce risk factor and enhance protective factors

61
Q

Building Healthy Public Policy

A

providing the opportunity for indiv to make healthy choices often through regulations

62
Q

Disease Prevention

A

look at particular disease and ways of preventing it eg incidence, prevalence, risk factors, impacts

63
Q

Primary Disease Prevention

A

limit occurrence of disease by controlling risk factors

64
Q

Secondary Disease Prevention

A

reduce the more serious consequences of a disease, slow the progression

65
Q

Tertiary Disease Prevention

A

reduce progress of complications of established disease

66

on environmental hazards (risk assessment, occupational health, risk communication)

67
Q

Primary Screening

A

for a risk factor

68
Q

Secondary Screening

A

for more serious complications

69
Q

Tertiary Screening

A

for complications after clinical diagnosis

70
Q

Screening Criteria

A

Suitable disease, test, treatment, screening program

71
Q

Suitable Disease

A

common or uncommon but early detection leads to better outcome; knowledge of natural history of disease

72
Q

Suitable Test

A

reliable, safe, simple, affordable, acceptable, accurate

73
Q

Sensitivity

A

ability to correctly identify those who do have the disease from all indiv with the disease (true positives ÷ all with disease x 100)

74
Q

Specificity

A

ability to identify correctly those who do not have the disease from all indiv without the disease (true negatives ÷ all without disease x 100)

75
Q

Positive Predictive Value (PPV)

A

probability of having the disease if test positive (true positives ÷ all who test positive x 100)

76
Q

Negative Predictive Value (NPV)

A

probability of not having the disease if test negative (true negatives ÷ all who test negative x 100)

77
Q

Sensitivity and specificity fixed?

A

yes, fixed characteristic of the test

78
Q

PPV and NPV fixed?

A

no, reflect both the test accuracy and prevalence of the disease

79
Q

if prevalence is moderate / low ____

A

higher false positive test results

80
Q

if prevalence is high ____

A

higher false negative test results

81
Q

Suitable Treatment

A

effective, acceptable and accessible

82
Q

Suitable Screening Program

A

benefits must outweigh harm, result in reduced mortality or increased survival time

83
Q

Lead Time Bias

A

if screening program evaluated in terms of survival time -> false impression. Does it increase survival after point when they would have had clinical diagnosis

84
Q

Length Time Bias

A

screening more likely to catch slow progressing disease than fast progressing disease, so will look like survival time is longer than it actually is

85
Q

Why do we need to prioritize?

A

not enough money to fund everything

86
Q

Establishing Population Health Priorities

A

Evidence based measures (descriptive, explanatory, evaluative), community expectations and values, human rights and social justice

Q

Descriptive Evidence

A

who is most / least affected? where are we now, come from, going?
