Study Notes
DENT1006 Public Health in Dentistry
- Course name: DENT1006 Public Health in Dentistry
- Course subtitle: Practice of Public Health/Health Education
- University: Bahçeşehir University School of Dental Medicine
Lecture I: Practice of Public Health
- Health Financing: Ensuring adequate funding for health services is crucial.
- Human Resources for Health: There's a need for qualified health workers.
- Mental Health: Increasing mental health issues require attention.
- Climate Change: A major threat to global health.
- Poverty: A significant barrier to accessing healthcare.
- Reproductive Health: Ensuring access to reproductive health services is essential.
- Infodemic: The spread of misinformation, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, is a considerable challenge.
- Humanitarian Crisis: Providing healthcare amidst conflicts and crises is a significant challenge.
Epidemiology
- Definition: The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specific populations and the application of this study to control health problems.
- Scientific Elements:
- Aetiology: Causes of diseases
- Pathogenesis: Mechanisms of disease development
- Prevention: Strategies to prevent diseases
Objectives of Epidemiology
- To describe the distribution and magnitude of health and disease problems in a population.
- To identify the determinants of aetiological factors and risk factors in the population.
- To provide essential data for planning, implementing, and evaluating health services for prevention, control, and treatment of diseases.
Epidemiological Methods
-
Observational Studies:
- Descriptive Studies: Observing and describing the distribution of a condition or event.
-
Analytical Studies:
- Case-control Studies: Identifying individuals with a disease and comparing their previous exposures with those without the disease.
- Cohort Studies: Following a group of people over time to see if they develop a disease or outcome.
-
Experimental/Interventional Studies:
- Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): Randomly assigning individuals to intervention and control groups to assess the impact of an intervention on disease outcomes.
Descriptive Studies
- Purpose: Observing and describing the distribution of a health condition or event in a population.
- Process: Measuring the frequency and patterns of the condition in relation to variables like age, sex, and location.
- Outcome: Identifying patterns, trends, and generating hypotheses for further research.
- Usage: The first step in research investigations, providing valuable information about who, what, where, and when of health-related events.
Case-Control Studies
- Starting Point: Begin by identifying individuals with a specific health condition (cases) and comparable individuals without the condition (controls).
- Selection: Choosing cases based on the presence of the disease and controls from the same population without the disease, carefully matching them in relevant aspects.
- Exposure Measurement: Examining past exposures of cases and controls to factors suspected of causing the disease.
- Analysis: Comparing the frequency of exposure to the suspected causes in cases and control groups, using odds ratios to assess the relationships.
Cohort Studies
- Starting Point: Selecting a group of people who share common exposures, characteristics, or lifestyle habits.
- Selection: Creating an exposed group and a non-exposed group as a comparison.
- Exposure Measurement: Gathering data on exposures and other factors from both groups.
- Follow-up and Analysis: Tracking both groups over a specific period and comparing the incidence rates of the disease in both groups.
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)
- Purpose: Establishing causality in epidemiology.
- Method: Randomly assigning individuals to either an intervention group or a control group.
- Goal: Assessing the impact of an intervention on disease outcomes.
- Key Feature: Minimizing biases by random assignment to groups.
RCTs in Dentistry
- Dental Implants, Dental Anxiety, Oral Health Education, Laser Therapy.
Clinical Research Designs
- Definition: Scientific studies involving human subjects to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatments.
- Ethics: Protecting the rights, safety, and well-being of subjects.
Ethical Guidelines
- Nuremberg Code (1947)
- Declaration of Helsinki (2000)
- Belmont Report (1979)
- CIOMS (2002)
- US Common Rule (1991)
Principles Guiding Ethical Research
- Social and clinical value
