Study Notes
MLSC 2060 Public Health - Spring 2025 - Exam I Study Guide
- Similarities and Differences Between Public Health and Medical Care:
- Public health focuses on populations, while medical care focuses on individuals.
- Public health emphasizes prevention and health promotion for the community, while medical care focuses on diagnosis and treatment.
- Public health uses a spectrum of interventions concerning the environment, human behavior, lifestyles and medical care.
- Medical care emphasizes personal service ethics, conditioned by awareness of social responsibility.
- Medical care is primarily concerned with care for each individual patient.
Social Justice Aspect of Public Health
- Access to health services and health itself are considered fundamental rights.
- Governments have obligations to provide healthy conditions for citizens who are unable to do so themselves, including medical care.
Factors Impacting Public Health
- Assessment: Monitoring and investigating health problems
- Policy Development: Educating and empowering communities, developing policies and plans
- Assurance: Enforcing laws, ensuring quality and accessibility of services, having a competent workforce and evaluating programs
Different Public Health Approaches
- Surveillance and research: Identify the problem
- Risk factor identification: Determining the cause of the issue
- Intervention evaluation: Determining what works
- Implementation: Applying the intervention effectively
- Evaluation: Assessing the effectiveness of the intervention.
Different Levels of Prevention in Public Health
- Primary prevention: Vaccinations, education, safe behaviors.
- Secondary prevention: Checkups, screenings.
- Tertiary prevention: Managing chronic conditions, rehabilitation.
Contribution to Public Health
- Immunizations
- Motor Vehicle Safety
- Workplace safety
- Infectious disease control
- Healthy living / Healthy eating
- Family planning strategies
- Healthy mothers and babies
- Water fluoridation
- Tobacco use / risks
Introduction to Epidemiology
- Definition: Epidemiology studies the distribution and determinants of health in populations and applies this knowledge to control health problems. It's a part of public health assessment.
- Types of Epidemiology:
- Descriptive: Uses existing data to describe the situation, who, when, where, etc.
- Analytical: Uses developed data or new insights regarding disease to understand causation, often including comparisons.
Ethical Considerations for Epidemiological Studies
- Participants' privacy, confidentiality, and minimizing harm must be ensured.
- Potential social impacts of the research should be considered.
- Ethical considerations include consent, conflict of interest, and the equitable selection of study populations.
Threats to Validity
- Chance: Random variation in outcomes.
- Confounding variables: Third variables associated with both the exposure and outcome.
- Bias: Systematic errors in measurement, selection, or data collection.
Measures of Central Tendency
- Mean: The average value, sensitive to extreme values.
- Median: The middle value in a sorted data set, less sensitive to extreme values.
- Mode: The most frequent value.
Measures of Disease Frequency
- Prevalence: Total number of cases (old and new) in a population at a given time.
- Incidence: Number of new cases in a population over a specific period.
Measures of Association
- Risk ratio: Compares the risk of disease in exposed and non-exposed groups.
- Odds ratio: Compares the odds of disease in exposed and non-exposed groups.
Role of Ethics in Public Health
- Bioethics and public health-interdisciplinary nature
- UN Sustainable Development Goals
Statistical Methods (in Public Health)
- Mean: Calculated by summing all values and dividing by the total count.
- Median: The middle value in a sequenced set of data.
- Mode: The most frequent value.
Prevalence and Incidence
- Prevalence: Total number of cases (old and new) in the population at a given point in time.
- Incidence: Number of new cases occurring in a specific time period in a defined population.
