Trans theoretical model
Stages of change or readiness for change
Random control trial
True experimental study
Nonrandomized control trial
Quasi experiment
Cohort study
Observational exposure to find the outcome
Case control study
Looks at the outcome to determine the exposure
cross sectional experiment
Looks at outcome and exposure of a certain period of time
Rigor
The adherence to the standards of scientific methods and evidence
Incidence
The amount of new cases
Prevalence
Total amount of cases
HALY
Health adjusted life years, number of years you can live without and disabilities
YPLL
Years of potential life lost, the amount of years lost due to certain diseases or disabilities
Epidemiology statistics
The numbers that describe the health of populations and the science used to interpret them
P value
How seriously you should take the experimental value. <0.5 is very good
Power
The probability of how likely you are to find an effect if one exists
Relative risk ratio
Larger than 1 is verily likely, 1 is no association between exposure and disease, less than one is a decreased risk from the exposure
Odds ratio
The odds of getting the disease in comparison to another group
Prevention paradox
A preventative measure that benefits the community and not so much the individual ex: seatbelts and immunizations
Sensitivity
How likely you are to catch all possible cases, greater the sensitivity the wider the net, more false positives
Specificity
How likely you are to catch the actual cases, smaller net, more false negatives
Endemic
Outbreak within a community or country
Pandemic
Our break on more than one continent
Public health
The actions we take to prevent disease and promote health at the population level
