values.

behaviors.

What kind of treatment do you think you should receive?
What is the most important result you hope to receive from the treatment?
Epidemiological Triad: - ANSWER - host, agent, environment
Genetics - ANSWER - The study of individual genes and their impact on relatively rare single
gene disorders
Absolute risk - ANSWER - is the probability of an event, such as illness, injury, or death. Gives
no indication of how its magnitude compares with others
,The odds ratio - ANSWER - closely approximates the relative risk if the disease is rare.
How is Attributible risk used - ANSWER - is used to make risk-based decisions for individuals.
Population-attributable risk measures - ANSWER - are used to form public health decisions
EGAPP: - ANSWER - Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention
According to Giger and Davidhizer (2000), although cultures differ, they all have the same basic
organizing factors that must be assessed in order to provide care for culturally diverse patients.
These factors include - ANSWER - communication (verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;

1998) helps translate genetic research findings into opportunities for preventive medicines and
public health by advancing the synthesis, interpretation, and dissemination of population-based
data on human genetic variation in health and disease. HuGENet reviews are systematic, peer-
reviewed synopses of the epidemiologic aspects of human genes, including prevalence of allelic
variants in different populations, population-based information on disease risk, evidence for
gene-environment interaction and quantitative data on genetic tests and services carried out
according to specific guidelines.
NHANES III - ANSWER - DC's Office of Public Health Genomics (established in 2002) formed a
multidisciplinary working group with members from across CDC. It developed a proposal to
measure the prevalence of selected genetic variants of public health significance in a
representative sample of the U.S. population and to examine the association between the
selected genetic variants and disease outcomes available in NHANES III data.

a virus
WHO Pandemic Phases - ANSWER - Phase 1—None of the current viruses circulating in
animals have been reported to cause infection in humans.
Phase 2—An animal-based influenza virus is known to have caused infection in humans and is
considered a potential pandemic threat.
Phase 3—An animal- or human-animal-based virus has caused some clusters of cases in
people, but has not caused human-to-human transmission that is significant enough to cause
community-level outbreaks.
