Study Notes
Public Health Exam Prep - PH 101
- Core Public Health Functions: Assessment, Policy Development, and Assurance
- Public Health Practice: Views populations as complex due to social determinants, cultural diversity, and systemic inequalities.
- Logical Models: Visualize relationships between inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impacts of a program. Used to identify gaps and set priorities.
-
Healthcare Systems:
- Beveridge Model: Government-funded healthcare (e.g., UK NHS).
- U.S. Model: Mixed system with public (Medicare/Medicaid) and private insurers; employer-based insurance covers most Americans.
- Implementation Science: Study of promoting systematic use of research findings to improve health outcomes.
- Effective Logistics Management: Planning, implementation, and control of services to ensure health resources delivery.
- Health in All Policies (HiAP): Integrates health considerations into policymaking across sectors to improve outcomes.
- Logic Model Components: Inputs (resources), Activities (actions), Outputs (deliverables), Outcomes (short and long-term results).
- Public Health Achievements (20th Century): 10 significant improvements.
- Reverse Causation: Mistaking an outcome (e.g., poor health) as the cause of something else (e.g., low income) rather than the actual cause.
- Politics and Macrosocial Determinants of Health: Political decisions influence social determinants like healthcare, housing, and education.
- Federal Govt. Powers in Health: CDC, funding for Medicaid/Medicare, regulation of public health.
- Firearms Laws: Background checks, safe storage laws, and restrictions reduce firearm-related injuries and deaths.
-
Epidemic vs. Endemic:
- Epidemic: Sudden increase in disease cases.
- Endemic: Regularly found disease in a region.
- Active Surveillance: Proactively seeking data—detecting outbreaks.
- True Surveillance: Systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of health data for decision-making.
- Public Health Assessment Role: Does not include direct clinical care.
- Global Health System Engagement: Organizations like the WHO set global policies and monitor health indicators.
- Top 5 US Causes of Death (2021): Heart disease, cancer, COVID-19, unintentional injuries, stroke.
- Public Health Sectors: Epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, social/behavioral sciences, health services, and global health.
- Populations & Health Issues: Viewed as complex due to social determinants (e.g., poverty, racism, discrimination), cultural diversity, and systemic inequities.
- Evidence-Based Practice: Takes 17 years to fully integrate research evidence into practice.
