Consider the figure attached, showing seven people studied between point A and B, and where the position of the numbers marks the onset of the disease in the people depicted. Supposing the total number of persons observed between A and B was 100, calculate the Point prevalence at A and B , Period prevalence and what disease measures could be computed for analytic studies?
Epidemiologist A: It is possible that substance use is a cause of psychological stress. Epidemiologist B: It is possible that psychological stress causes substance use. To know which of the two epidemiologists, or whether both of them, are correct, it is important to know whether study participants started using substances before their stress levels were above normal, or whether high stress levels were detected after they had used substances for a few weeks. This relates to _________________ of association a. temporality b. specificity c. biological plausibility d. strength
True/False? Epidemiology is a field of study focused on the study of health and illness in human populations, patterns of health or disease, and the factors that influence these patterns.
Current national data show that injuries from motor vehicle accidents are a major cause of mortality, morbidity and disability. They represent a particularly important health problem from the perspective of years of potential life lost. Analyze the problem of injuries from motor vehicle accidents from an epidemiological perspective (including current distributions by population; and host, time, and environmental factors): Based on your analysis, describe potential prevention initiatives that may warrant consideration:
================================Community health nurses use epidemiological concepts to: a.Improve the health of population groups by identifying risk factors that reduce risk and promote illness. b.None of the answers. c.Epidemiological methods are not needed in assessment diagnosis, planning or evaluating community interventions. d.Epidemiologists are not concerned with interrelationships between host and environmental characteristics. ================================Which of the following is an epidemiologic function of the nurse during an epidemic? a.Conducting assessment of suspected cases to detect the communicable disease, and teaching the community on preventive measures against the disease. b.Teaching the community on preventive measures against the disease. c.Monitoring the condition of the cases affected by the communicable disease. d.Participating in the investigation to determine the source of the epidemic.
Rates of disease and death are elevated for historically marginalized racial groups, blacks (or African Americans), Native Americans (or American Indians and Alaska Natives), and Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, who tend to have an earlier onset of illness, more aggressive progression of disease, and poorer survival.

A study was conducted by the NIH (National Institute for Health) with a large population that examined smoking and the occurrence of lung cancer. In the duration of the study period, 1,800 smokers developed lung cancer. In the same period, 200 nonsmokers developed lung cancer. There were 241,800 current smokers and 478,000 nonsmokers in the total study population. 1.what type study ? Study design options: Ecological, Cross-sectional, Case Control, Prospective Cohort, RetrospectiveCohort, Randomized Clinical Trial
Calculating Incidence versus Prevalence The picture represents 10 new cases of illness over about 15 months in a population of 20 persons. Each horizontal line represents one person. The down arrow indicates the date of onset of illness. The solid line represents the duration of illness. The up arrow and the cross represent the date of recovery and date of death, respectively. The picture New: Cases of Illness from October 1, 2004–September 30, 2005 Question: Calculate the period prevalence from October 1, 2004, to September 30, 2005. The numerator of period prevalence includes anyone who was ill any time during the period. In Figure 3.1, the first 10 persons were all ill at some time during the period.

Express the rate per 100 population.
