4. Partnership


5. Respect




*=3 most important skills


Sensitivity

*rate of TRUE POSITIVES


(implies rate of false neg)




= (100-false neg)




= (true pos)/(true pos+false neg)

Specificity

*rate of TRUE NEGATIVES


(implies rate of false pos)




=(100-false pos)




=(true neg)/(true neg+false pos)

sensitivity & specificity

- are mutually exclusive (one does not imply anything about the other)



- independent of the population of interest subjected to the test




- 2 most common measures of the effectiveness of tests

PPV & NPV

- used when considering the value of the test




-dependent on the prevalence of the disease in the population of interest

PPV

*likelihood that patient HAS the disease if the test result is POSITIVE




=(true pos)/(true pos+false pos)

NPV

*likelihood that patient does NOT HAVE the disease if the test result is NEGATIVE




=(true neg)/(true neg+false neg)

Likelihood ratio (LR)

*how much more likely it is that a patient who tests positive (+) HAS the disease compares w/ ones who tests negative


= (sens)/(1-spec)




- refers to the utility of tests


- can be pos. LR or neg. LR

Reliability

*reproducibility of the results




- degree of consistency w/ which an instrument or person measures a particular attribute


(kappa values; in-class correlation [ICC])



Validity

*accuracy of a test, determined by the measure of agreement w/ a gold standard


(sens/spec, PPV/NPV, +/- LR)

Screening Tests

specialized tests or examination procedures for early detection of preclinical conditions or risk factors in asymptomatic persons

Counseling Interventions

efforts to educate patients about the consequences of personal health behaviors and to work in a collaborative manner on strategies for risk factor modification

Immunizations

use of vaccines and immunoglobulins to prevent infectious disease

Chemoprophylaxis

use of drugs and supplements by asymptomatic persons to prevent future disease

Primary Prevention

-Goal: to prevent new disease cases by reducing risk factors


- precedes disease or dysfunction


- health promotion

A society in which all peoplelive long, healthy lives.

HP 2020 (4) Overarching Goals

1. Attain high quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death.


2. Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities,and improve the health of all groups.


3. Create social and physical environments thatpromote good health for all.

Cost Effectiveness (CE)

*the average net cost per QALY gained in typical practice by offering the clinical preventive service at recommended intervals to a U.S. birth cohort over the recommended age range



- estimated over lifetime of U.S. cohort rather than across the current U.S. cross-sectional population

Clinically Preventative Burden (CPB)

*the total QALYs that could be gained if the clinical preventive service were delivered at recommended intervals to a U.S. cohort of 4 million individuals over the years of life for which a service was recommended

- measured the total potential health benefits (health impact) from the service among both receivers & non-receivers of service (of relevant population)

-assumed that 100% of population was offered service, but less that 100% used service

summarize the best available data on clinical preventive services to assist all types of decision makers in choosing where to focus their prevention efforts




clinical preventive services that will lead to:

- may begin to tolerate/justify "slips"



Relapse Stage

- pt may now talk/act like a person in an earlier stage of change

- reasons for relapse give clues to necessary steps to reinforce/reinvigorate motivation


- 2/3 relapse within 1 year

Self-efficacy/Social-learning Theory
