Ongoing, systematic, and health-related event for public health action to reduce morbidity and mortality

A model for understanding foodborne disease reporting

Some respiratory diseases are transmitted via direct contact with shared items, door knobs, contaminated hands, etc

Number of cases among contacts of primary cases/Total number of contacts x 10^n

Consists of difficult wording

Active or passive case definitions are based entirely on clinical features with no lab test required, inexpensive and fast

The inverse of the provided information from a pyramid is multiplied by the annual incidence to find ____

Moving up the chart begins with PPE, Administrative controls, Engineering controls, then Elimination of Potential Exposures

Average number of secondary infectious cases in a susceptible population with no control measures

Biased words are avoided

Prearranged reporting sources agree to report all cases of defined conditions to indicate population trends, is effective with limited resources

Odds of exposure among cases is lower than among controls

Wear PPE for all patient interactions and discard them upon exit, shared rooms should have more than 3 ft between them but single rooms are perferred

Relates to the infectivity and pathogenicity of the infecting agent, is the speed of spread

Each question should be made meaningful to respondents

Fast surveillance that lacks specificity

Odds of exposure among cases is the same as the odds of exposure among controls. The exposure is not associated with the problem.

Land directly on mucosal lining or can be inhaled, relatively heavy and do not remain in the air for long

Number who become infected/number of individuals exposed, is the metric for comparing infectious diesease

Be neutral, yet attentive, accept the participant, ask questions with the same tone

Surveillance that is insensitive to rare events

Odds of exposure among cases is greater than it is among controls. The exposure may be associated with the risk factor

Can be carried over long ranges via air current, is generated when the infected sneezes, coughs, or speaks, patients should be placed in a single AIIR room

Malnutrition, a lack of sanitation, and poor living conditions lead this in 1918

Questions are short, have instructions, share the intent, ask for no personal information, and exclude biased words
