discuss primordial, primary, tertiary, secondary prevention, for COPD
primordial: telling kids not to smoke so they dont have COPD

primary: tell a smoker to quit before they have any signs of COPD

secondary: screen for something that wouldn't be seen yet (xray or spirometry)

teritary: getting smoker to quit after you know they have COPD
leading cause of death
lifestyle
leading cause of death (that leads to it)
smoking
leading cause of death
heart disease
what info do you give someone who is in the pre-contemplative state with resepct to smoking
info on how their disease causes problems because you haven't even thought about quitting
what info do you give someone who is in the contemplative state with respect to smoking
this is how the drugs work to help you quit
if you have a person with a slew of problems, do you attack all of them at once?
no you let the patient pick one of their major problems (YOU DO NOT PICK)
incidence, prevalence, etc,
know the definitions
what is absolute risk? example
1 in 10000
relative risk?
risk exposed/ risk unexposed
attributed risk
added risk of death attributed to the risk ?

risk attributed to that risk factor above and beyond the normal risk would be

absolute risk
U.S. Preventative Task Force Classification Codes
A- strongly reccommends
B- recommends
C- no recommendation
D- recommends against (too many FN or FP)
I- insufficient evidence to recommend
remember, these classifications are based on research, so if you strongly reccommend it, that means the benefit way outweighs the risk and so on and so on
barriers to screening
dont have time

cost problems

reimbursement problems
Which is more effective, community or physician initiatives for prevention?
community
what will increase the likelihood of getting a patient to quit smoking: telling them they have high blood pressure or actually telling them?
TELL THEM!!
what are Latent errors


what about systems errors?
Latent errors:
design of work
conditions of work
training
design and maintenance of equipment

Systems errors: one mistake leads to one event that cannot be prevented
3 ways to minimize errors
standardization

redundancy

self-correcting: if something were to go wrong it corrects itself
push a button to give a dose for a patient where that dose is not appropriate

the machine prompts you to say, this is not a normal dose

what is this an example of?
an example of self-correcting for errors
differentiate btw injury and disease
Injuries are much more common than disease, you must distinguish the difference by exposure

One exposure or multiple in rapid succession= injury
prolonged exposure= disease
what is the difference btw disability and impairment
impairment: physician determined

disability: done by law
pianist and lose a finger disabled or impaired?
disabled
hierarchy of controls
best thing to is to make it automated, worst thing is ear protection because people dont really use them

This is how he said he is going to ask the question... here is a problem... how would you prevent it? Always pick the answer that involves humans the LEAST.

Substitution/elimination at the top--> engineering controls -->administrative controls --> PPE
Coombs test for HS, which type do you see
most things are type 1 or 4
differentiate restriction vs obstructive disease
obstructive FEV 1 decrease, absolute line should go to the normal

restrictive: line goes below normal for Total lung volume

1. Obstructive: FVC normal unless severe obstruction, FEV1 decreases, FEV1/FVC ratio decreased (used to diagnose)
2. Restrictive: FVC decreased, FEV1 normal or , FEV1 ratio is normal
intrinsic asthma vs. somethin else
he went fast, fill this in
if spirometry is normal and you think they may have asthma what do you do next
methelene choline test
when trying to figure out if it is occupational asthma or not, what is important?

if work related what do you need to do
looking at history

if work related: need to take them out of that environment
irritant vs. allergic contact dermatitis
irritant: react to a chemical

contact: only people allergic to it will have the type IV reaction (like poison ivy or nickel)
pleural vs parenchymal

for asbestos

ON TEST
pleural: chronic plaques

parenchymal: acute grainy fiberglass type appearance
greatest source of disability in work?
low back pain
what is the greatest expense to the system for disability?
TTD
if a person is using latex with additives, what are the allergic reactions going to be?
true latex allergy: type 1

due to additives: type 4
if you have pleural plaques do you have asbestosis?
NOOOOOO
pleural changes with asbestos
Chronic

Benign: plaques, thickening, effusions

Malignant: mesothelioma
parenchymal changes with asbestos
“Benign” (fibrosis) = asbestosis
Malignant (lung cancer)
is there a relationship between cigarettes and parenchymal changes with asbestosis?
parenchymal: YES synergistic
merging areas in public health
is the key to Lalie (how ever you spell) readings
What are the 3 core functions of public health
assessment (see there are fatties)

policy development (make let's move campaign)

assurance (people actually start doing it, arrange for people to be able to be active in your plan)
define public health
it is all encompassing
public health: assessment
develop policies for change

go back and make sure they are being done (assurance phase)
essential services done by public health?
Lifestyle interventions are becoming the most important focus of 21st century public health activities. Creating walkable communities, reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors, encouraging healthy eating habits, and combating media violence are examples of such efforts. These are examples of the “essential services” and “core functions” of public health
roles of federal, state, and local governments

what do they do?
local is the most important, they control things the most

the social and economic environment,
the physical environment, and
the person’s individual characteristics and behaviours

see slide 70

ENVIRONMENT
BEHAVIOR
INDIVIDUAL

They all effect each other
If the absolute risk of getting cancer is 1:5 with exposure to smoke and only 1:10 without exposure to smoke, what is the relative risk?
RR divide ratios
1:5 and 1:10

twice as likely to get cancer with exposure to smoke
