Early Prevention

Health care providers highly recommend that you regularly attend medical checks, whereby your doctor will carefully examine you to check for any ailments or abnormal growth in your body (MDI, 2017).

Outbreak

Outbreak is a term used in epidemiology to describe an occurrence of disease greater than would otherwise be expected at a particular person, time and place (MDI, 2017).

Screening

A screening test is a procedure that is performed to detect the presence of a specific disease. The individual or group of individuals (as in mass screenings) does not present any symptoms of the disease (MDI, 2017).

Surveillance System

This evolution of “surveillance” from personal to public health surveillance developed and highlighted what currently are considered its main principles – data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, and dissemination of that data in a timely manner at the lowest possible cost for public health action (MDI, 2017).

Nonparametric Statistics

20:57 epidemiology
STATISTICS TEXT BOOKS PDF

"Nonparametric Statistics is a short and sweet introduction to the five most familiar nonparametric location tests and associated confidence intervals and multiple comparisons. . . . This book is extremely limited in coverage, but none the worse for that. You won’t find anything on the Fisher Exact Test, or measures of association for the cases covered. What you will find is good, accurate, comprehensible accounts of location tests for two or more treatments. . . . The book is well-written throughout, with fewer than expected mistakes. . . . All in all, a good basic introduction to nonparametric tests, with few frills, as you would expect. The computer package comparisons sound very useful warning bells and are a welcome frill."
