Inequalities in health care Wider determinants of health Prevention
28
Define health needs assessment
Systematic method for reviewing the health issues facing a population. Leading to agreed policies Resource allocation Improve health and reduce inequalities
29
Discuss the domains of health needs assessment
Need: Ability to benefit from an intervention Demand: What people ask for Supply: What is provided Health need: Need for health, measured using mortality, morbidity and socio-demographic measures Health care need: Need for health care, ability to benefit from health care
30
Sociological perspective on need
Felt need: Individual perceptions of variations from normal health Expressed need: Individuals seek help to overcome variation in normal health Normative need: professional defines interventions appropriate for the expressed need Comparative need: Comparison between severity, range of interventions and cost
31
Different approaches to health needs
Epidemiological Comparative Corporate
32
Discuss the epidemiological approach to health needs assessment and list the advantages and disadvantages
``` Epidemiological: Define the problem Available services Evidence base Models of care ( outcomes measured) ``` ADVANTAGES - Uses existing data - Provides data on disease incidence/mortality/morbidity - Evaluate services by trends over time DISADVANTAGES - Quality of data variable - Data collected may not be the data required - Does not consider the felt needs or experiences of the people affected
33
Discuss the comparative approach to health needs assessment and list the advantages and disadvantages
Compares the services received by a population with others Examine - Health status - Service provision - Service utilisation ADVANTAGES - Quick and cheap - Compares health service provisions in different areas DISADVANTAGES - Difficult to find a comparative population
34
Discuss the coparate approach to health needs assessment and list the advantages and disadvantages
Ask the population what their needs are Use focus groups, interviews and public meetings ADVANTAGES - based on felt and expressed needs - Recognised detailed knowledge of those working in the population - Takes into account a wider range of view DISADVANTAGES - Difficult to distinguish need from demand - Vested interest - Influenced by political agendas
35
List the different types of prevention
Primary prevention: preventing disease before it has happened Eg: Lifestyle advice Secondary prevention: Intervention to prevent symptoms of the disease. Catching the disease in the pre-clinical/early phase. Eg: Statins, lifestyle Tertiary preventions: Preventing complications of the disease Eg: Dual antiplatlets
36
List the different approaches to prevention
Population approach: preventative measures (Dietary salt reduction through legislation) High-risk population: Identify individuals above a chosen cut off and treat. (Screening for a high BP)
37
Define the prevention paradox
A preventative measure which brings much benefit to the population often offers little to each participating individual
38
Define screening
A process which sorts out apparently well people who have the disease or a precursor or suitability to a disease from those who do not
39
List the different types of screening
``` Population based screening programmes Opportunistic screening Screening for communicable diseases Pre-employment and occupational needs Commercially provided screening ```
40
Names and discuss the screening criteria
Condition must be an important health problem An acceptable treatment must exist for the condition Facilities available for diagnosis and treatment A clear latent or early phase of the disease Suitable test of examinations The test must be acceptable for the popluation Clear policy of who to treat and when to treat them The disease must have a natural history Continous process Economically viable
41
Disadvantages of screening
Exposure of well individuals to distressing or harmful diagnostic tests Detection and treatment of sub-clinical disease that would never have caused any problems Preventive interventions that may cause harm to individuals or population
42
Important screening calculations
Sensitivity: the proportion of people with the disease who are correctly identified by the screening test (a/a+c) Specificity: the proportion of people without the disease who are correctly excluded by the screening test (d/b+d) Positive predictive value: the proportion of people with a positive test results who actually have the disease (a/a+b) Negative predictive values: the proportion of people with a positive test result who do not have the disease (d/c+d) This goes down as prevalence goes up. PREDICTIVE VALUES ARE DEPENDENT ON PREVALENCE
43
Lead time basis
Screening identifies an outcome earlier than it would otherwise have been identified this results in an apparent increase in survival time, even if screening has no effect on outcome
44
Length time basis
Type of basis resulting from the differences in the length of time taken for a condition to progress to severe effects Affect the efficacy of the screening method
45
Classify the different types of study design and give examples of each.
Observational - Descriptive - Descriptive and analytical - Analytical Experimental - Randomised control trial - Non-randomised control trial
46
Discuss the different types of variables
An independent variable can be altered in a study | A dependent variable is a variable that is dependent on a independent variable or one that cannot be altered.
47
Define odds and odds ratio
Odds of an event is the ratio of the probability of the event occurring against the probability of the non occurrence of the event Odds= probability/(1-probability) Odds ratio is the ratio of odds of the exposed group against the ration of the unexposed group OR= (Pexposed/1-Pexposed)/(Unexposed/1-Punexposed) OR can be interrupted as relative risk when the event is rare
48
Define epidemiology
Study of frequency, distribution and determinants of disease and health related states in populations in order to prevent and control disease
49
Key epidemiological components
Incidence: measure of the probability of occurrence of a given medical condition in a population within a specified period of time. Prevalence: Number of existing cases at s specific time point Person time: measure of time at risk, time from entry to a study to (i) disease onset, (ii)loss to follow up (iii) end of study. Incidence rate = number of persons who have become cases in a given time period/ Total persons - time at risk period
50
Discuss the types of risk
Absolute risk: Actual numbers involved 50 deaths per 1000 Attributable risk: rate of disease in the exposed that may be attributable to the exposure. Is about the size of effect in absolute terms. Relative risk: Ratio of risk of disease in the exposed to the risk in the unexposed. Strength of association between a risk factor and a disease. Relative risk reduction: RRR is the reduction in rate of outcome in the intervention group relative to the control group Absolute risk reduction: Absolute difference in the rates of events between the two groups and gives an indication of the baseline risk and intervention effect. Numbers needed to treat ( NNT): Number of patients needed to treat to prevent one bad outcome
51
Explanations for association between an exposure and an outcome
``` Bias Chance Confounding Reverse causality A true causal association ```
52
Define bias and classify the types of bias
A systemic deviation from the estimation of the association between exposure and outcome - Selection bias: a systemic error in the selection of study participants or the allocation of study participants - Information bias: a systematic error in the measurement of the classification of exposure or outcome. Sources of information bias (i) Observer ( observer bias) (ii) Participant ( recall bias, reporting bias) (iii) Instrument ( wrongly calibrated instrument) - Publication bias
53
Define confounding
A situation in which the estimate between an exposure and an outcome is distorted because of the association of the exposure with another factor that is also independently associated with the outcome
54
Define reverse causality
A situation where the association between an exposure and an outcome could be due to the outcome causing the exposure rather than the exposure causing the otucome
55
List the Bradford-Hill criteria ( causality criteria)
Strength of association: magnitude of relative risk Dose-response: the higher the exposure the higher the risk Consistency: similar results from different reasearchers Temporality: dose exposure precede the outcome Reversibility: removal of exposure reduces disease risk Biological plausibility: biological mechanism explaining the link Coherence: consistency with other information Analogy: similarity with other established cause and effect) Specificity: relationship specific to outcome of interest)
56
Define addiction
Craving, tolerance, compulsive drug-seeking behaviour, physiological withdrawal state.

85
Give several criticism of the health belief model
1) Alternative factors may predict health behaviour - Outcome expectancy: whether an individual feels they will be heathlier as a result of their behaviour - Self-efficacy: the person's belief in their ability to carry out the preventative behaviour 2) As a cognitively based model it does not consider the impact of emotions on behaviour 3) Does not differentiate between the first time and repeat behaviour 4) Cues to action are often missing

Three main types of behaviour related to health. Specify types and provide examples for each
Health behaviour: a behaviour aimed to prevent disease Illness behaviour: behaviour aimed to seek remedy Sick role behaviour: activity aimed at getting better ( taking prescribed medicine)
92
Interventions are rarely restricted to one level, discuss how a brief primary care intervention aimed at decreasing alcohol consumptions among individuals could have a feed through impact on other populations
Individual behaviour - Individual health outcomes - Incidence of domestic violence Local community - local alcohol sales - Alcohol related crime - A&E events Population level - National alcohol sales and consumption - National stats on alcohol related crime - Demographic patterns of liver cirrhosis
93
Why might knowledge of risk factors not influence a patients behaviour
Unrealistic optimism theory 1) Individual has an inaccurate perception of guilt 2) Individual has an inaccurate perception of susceptibility ``` Also Health beliefs Situational rationality Culture variability Socioeconomic factors Stress Age ```
94
Explain the major theory which contributes to people engaging in damaging health behaviours
Unrealistic optimism | Individuals continue to engage in health damaging behaviours due to inaccurate perceptions of risk and susceptibility.
95
Donabedians " structure, process, outcome is a useful framework to use when carrying out evaluation of health services . Explain what is meant by structure
Structure includes all of the factors that affect the context in which care is delivered. This includes the physical facilities, equipment and human resources, as well as organisational characteristics such as staff training and payment methods Structure is often easy to observe and measure as it may be the upstream cause of the problem identified in the process. Donabedians defined structure as the settings, qualifications of providers and administrative system which care takes place
96
When assessing the quality of health services, Maxwells classification list 6 dimensions. List the 6 and explain them
Accessibility: is the service provided? Location, waiting times Appropriateness: is the right treatment being given to the right people at the right time Acceptability: is the service offered of a high enough standard Efficiency: is the output maximised for a given input Effectiveness: does the service produce the desired effect Equity: are patients being treated fairly
97
Explain the difference between horizontal and ventricle equity in relation to health care
Horizontal health care: equal treatment for equal needs Vertical: describes unequal treatment for unequal needs i.e. those with poorer health require higher expenditure on the health service
98
Explain the differences between public health interventions delivered at population level, using one example for each to illustrate your answer
Public health interventions differ depending on the target audience. A public health intervention at an individual level focuses on the safety of that individual and is patient centred. Eg: Needle exchange programme Interventions at a population level consider the wider determinants of health and are influenced by data obtained from ecological studies Eg: introduction of a sugar tax to reduce the incidence of DM II
99
Although using measures of health outcomes is desirable in evaluation of health services, there are potential limitations. Explain who it may be difficult to attribute a health outcome to a service provider
Data may not be available Issues with data quality (completeness, accuracy, relevance, timelines) Large sample sizes may be needed to detect statistical significant effects Time lag between the service provided and the outcome may be long ( healthy eating intervention and DM TII in kids long time to take effect) The link between the health service provided and health outcome may be difficult to establish as many other factors may be involved. ( confounding factors)
100
Explain the differences between 2 and 3 prevention
Secondary prevention: aims to alter the course of a disease, reduce the recurrence of disease/medical incident and detect the disease at early stages Eg: Screening programmes Tertiary prevention: aims to manage and control chronic disease s to avoid the development of complications Eg management of DM to prevent peripheral neuropathy
101
Explain what is meant by the comparative approach to health needs assessment
Frameworks for health needs assessment are built on 3 main approaches Epidemiological, Comparative and corporate The comparative approach compares services received by a population or subgroup in one area with those received in other areas. Comparisons have proved to be powerful tools for investigating the health services. They can examine health status, service provisions, service utilisation and health outcomes. The companies approach is quick and cheap if the data is available. It gives a measure of relative performance. Problems with the comparative approach are the it may be difficult to find a comparative population, data may not be available and it may not yield the most appropriate levels.
102
Give three potential limitations of the epidemiological approach to health needs assessment
Does not consider the felt needs of those affected The required data may not be available May be variability in the data quality
103

Bolam: Would a reasonable doc do the same Bolitto: Would it be reasonable for them to do so
104
List the health determinants
Genes Environment Lifestyle Healthcare
105
List the different types of equity

106
Define equality and equity
Equality: concerned with equal shares Equity: unequal rx for unequal need
107
List the forms of health care equity
``` (AEHOU) Equal access for equal needs Equal expenditure for equal needs Equal health Equal health outcomes for equal need Equal utilisation for equal needs ```
108
Discuss the difficulties faced when trying research health outcomes
Difficulties collecting data Issues with data quality Large sample size required Difficult to establish a true cause and effect due to confounders/ time lag between the the service provided and the health outcome
109
