Q

Contributory causes

A

(1) the existence of an association between the “cause” and the “effect” at the individual level
(2) the “cause” precedes the “effect” in time
(3) altering the “cause” alters the probability of the “effect”
All three must be established

22
Q

Risk factor

A

a characteristic of individuals or an exposure that increases the probability of developing a disease. It does not imply that a contributory cause has been established.

23
Q

PERIE

A

Problem, Etiology, Recommendations, Implementation, and Evaluation.

24
Q

Burdon of disease

A

an analysis of the morbidity and mortality produced by disease.

25
Q

Morbidity

A

the frequency of impairments or disability produced by a disease or other condition

26
Q

Mortality

A

the frequency of deaths produced by a disease or other condition

26
Q

Course of a disease

A

a description of a disease or other condition often using incidence, prevalence and case-fatality

27
Q

the group of people who have a chance or probability of developing a disease

A

At risk population

28
Q

Incidence rate

A

The chances of occurrence of a disease or other condition over a period of time, usually one year; the total number of new cases of an event over by the sum of the person-time of the at-risk population.

29
Q

Prevalence rate

A

number of individuals who have a disease at a particular point in time divided by the number of individuals who could potentially have the disease

30
Q

True rate

A

a measurement that has a numerator that is a subset of the denominator and a unit of time, such as a day or a year, over which the number of events in the numerator is measured

31
Q

Etiology

A

the cause of a disease or health condition

32
Q

Distribution of disease

A

how a disease is spread out in a population, often using factors such as persons, place and time

32
Q

Associations

A

the occurrence together of two factors, such as a risk factor and a disease, more often than expected by chance alone

33
Q

Risk indicators

A

A characteristic such as gender or age, that is associated with an outcome but is not considered a contributory cause

33
Q

an association observed in the data that is actually the result of the method of data collection

A

Artificial association

Maintenace

35
Q

A

the full range of uses of information in health, from data collection to decision making

36
Q

collection of health data as the basis for monitoring and understanding health problems, generating hypotheses about etiology, and evaluating the success of intervention

A

Public health surveillance

37
Q

a population health status measure that summarizes the impact of death in an entire population utilizing the probability of death at each age of life in a particular year in a particular population

A

Life expectancy

38
Q

Disability adjusted life year (DALY)

A

a population health status measure that incorporates measures of death and disability and allows for measurement of the impact of categories of disease and risk factors

39
Q

Health adjusted life expectancy (HALE)

A

a population health status measure that combines life expectancy with a measure of the population’s overall quality of life

40
Q

Health-related Quality of life (HRQOL)

A

a health status measure that reflects the number of unhealthy days due to physical plus mental impairment. HRQOL provides an overall quality of health measure, but it does not incorporate the impact of death

A

Health literacy

42
Q

perception of an increase in the probability of occurrence of an event due to its ease of being able to be visualized and its feared consequences

A

Dread effect

43
Q

perception of increased probability of occurrence of an event due to the perceived inability of an individual to control or prevent the event from occurring

A

Q

a process that compares the outcomes of two or more interventions based on principles of expected utility

A

Decision analysis

45
Q

Utility scale

A

a scale that goes from zero to one, with zero reflecting immediate death and one reflecting full health. This scale is used to measure the value or importance that an individual or a group of places in a particular outcomes

46
Q

Quality adjusted life years (QALYs)

A

a measurement that asks about the number of life-years saved by an intervention rather than the number of lives

A

When all people have the opportunity to attain their full health potential and no is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of his or her social position or other socially determined circumstances
