Assessment, policy development, and assurance are the three core functions of public health practice, crucial for improving community health.

Public health professionals use multiple sectors: epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, social/behavioral sciences, health services, and global health. These areas view populations as complex systems.

Tools to visualize relationships among components of an issue to understand factors influencing outcomes.

Field dedicated to studying how to translate research into effective public health programs.

Data systematically collected about health conditions or events.

Public health system's practice of actively searching for signs of illness.

Epidemic: a sudden increase in disease; Endemic: constantly present in a population.

Qualitative data is descriptive (e.g., observations), while quantitative data is measurable (e.g., counts).

When an outcome, like poor health, is mistakenly assumed to be the cause of something else (e.g., low income), when it's actually the other way around.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) plays a crucial role in public health, contributing to disease prevention, emergency preparedness, and health promotion.

Public health practice relies on three key functions: Assessment (gather data), Policy development (create regulations), and Assurance (ensure services are available).

Global organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) play a vital role in monitoring health indicators and setting global health policies.

Factors like socioeconomic status, education, environment, and healthcare access that influence health outcomes.

The process of monitoring and diagnosing health problems in a community to understand their causes and patterns.

Creating policies and regulations aimed at improving health outcomes, often involving collaboration with different sectors.

Making sure that essential health services are available to all members of the community.

A graphical representation that shows how inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impacts relate to a program's goals.

A system where healthcare is provided as a public service, funded through taxes (e.g., UK NHS).

A mixed system with both public (Medicare/Medicaid) and private insurance, with employer-based insurance covering most Americans.

An approach that considers health impacts across all policy areas, not just those specifically related to health.
