Description
Building on the topic you chose last week; you will now look for data. Some you can get from Healthy People and some you will need to look up. Your slides should tell the viewer the “story “of your problem. Where is it? Who has it?
This unit is on Epidemiology: “The study of the distribution (WHO/WHERE) and determinants (WHY or ASSOCIATED FACTORS) of diseases and injuries in human populations.
Epidemiology is concerned with the frequencies (HOW OFTEN) and types of illnesses and injuries in groups of people (WHO) and with the factors that influence their distribution. One of the five core PH disciplines.”.
This week you will be the epidemiologist evaluates your problem. Where and when is it most predominant? Who is it impacting? You won’t be running actual studies to look at disease or problem rates, but you will be using the literature to find out what others discovered. These slides should give us an overview of your problem’s DISTRIBUTION. We will do determinants next week.
You are the epidemiologist studying your problem:
Tell us what the data here shows. The reader should see a snapshot of your problem. We should see numbers in these slides and have them labeled so the reader can understand. ie” 10% of adults over 65 have x disease”. You may re-state some of the good info from last week if it is valuable.
NEXT week we go into determinants-social factors, education, income, genetics etc. so don’t focus on that yet!
TO DO THIS:
Find articles and data you can understand to tell us who has the problem and how common it is. Add anything else interesting or pertinent. Here is my example: ASSIGNMENT. Review the instructions, the template AND my example to help your work.
Fill out the 3 slides that describe your problem and ADD them to the end of your last presentation. Then move the reference slide to the end. Use the same tile headings I did just put your data in. Your slide should describe your problem. Who is most affected? Where are they? What are their characteristics?
