1.Identify a population of interest. What determinants of health are associated with this population? Consider the impact of associated risk factors and the determinants of health as related to this population and the health condition(s).
2.Determine strategies required to address health inequities focusing on determinants of health for population health improvement among disparate populations.
3.Explain the following statement:
- .Utilizing an epidemiologic approach to disease occurrence targeting risk factors and addressing determinants of health can improve population health.
lease be sure to adhere to the following when posting your weekly discussions:
1. Students are to write their name and the appropriate discussion number/discussion title in the title bar for each discussion. For example Discussion 1: Micheal Cabrera or Discussion 3: Sheila
Smith. This is important in identifying that students are submitting original posts as well as response posts as required.
2. Students are to submit their discussions directly onto Blackboard Discussion Board.
Attachments submitted as discussion board posts will not be graded.
3. As a reminder, all discussion posts must be minimum 250 words, references must be cited in APA format 7th Edition, and must include minimum of 2 scholarly resources published within the past

Health Disparity 2020 defined
“a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage”
Disparities adversely affect groups of individuals who have “systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; age; mental health; cognitive, sensory, or physical disability; sexual orientation or gender identity; geographic location; or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion.”

“preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal health that are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations”

Epidemiology Defined
epi which means upon, demos which means people, and logos which means science
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health and health-related conditions or events in populations to promote and preserve population health while preventing and controlling health-related conditions or events in specific populations

Descriptive Epidemiology Process
Define the population
Define the health condition or disease under investigation
Describe the health condition or disease in terms of person, place, and time
Measure the health condition or disease
Compare health condition or disease measurement to known epidemiologic data
Generate etiological hypothesis about health condition or disease in population
7

Science
Rigorous methods used to understand the natural and social world. Science is also known as a methodology to develop knowledge through the scientific method
8
© Springer Publishing Company, LLC.
Scientific Method
Define the purpose of the investigation
Construct hypothesis
Collect data to test the hypothesis
Analyze data
Propose conclusions from the data and integrate the information into the existing state of knowledge
Communicate findings through peer-reviewed dissemination

© Springer Publishing Company, LLC.
Epidemiology Science
The body of knowledge accumulated through epidemiology, the methods used to collect epidemiologic data, and the underpinning philosophical and theoretical information that guides epidemiologic thinking and data collection
10

Epidemiology Objectives
Study the natural history and prognosis of health conditions/diseases
Identify syndromes and classification of health conditions/diseases
Examine effective screening and diagnostic testing strategies
Determine the extent of health conditions/diseases in a population
Surveillance of health conditions in a population
Identify and prevent or decrease the impact of the risk factors of health conditions/diseases
Identify and prevent the cause or etiology of a health condition/disease
11

Epidemiologic Approach
Thought process utilized by epidemiologist to approach or resolve a health condition
Steps
Determine the population structure
Characterize the exposure or risk factor in the population or characterize the health condition within the population
Determine if there is an association between the exposure or risk factor, the population characteristics, and health condition
Infer hypothesis about the causal or associative relationships between the population characteristics, exposure or risk factor, and the health condition
Examine the impact of preventive or therapeutic strategies on the exposure or risk factor within the population and on the health condition
