There are certain factors that predispose an individual to an illness, may low immune system, an infected person, or an exposure to an environment hazards (Gordis, 2014, pg. 2). In this essay, the author will define epidemiology, described the five objectives of epidemiology, and identify and explain three subspecialties of epidemiology.
Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of a blueprint of the disease, and how its affects the population (Gordis, 2014). Leon Gordis (2014), defines epidemiology is how a disease is distributed in a population, and the factor that influences the distribution ( pg. 2). The epidemiologist relies on the careful observation, and legitimate data collection by numbers of diseases, the type of exposures to …show more content…
Epidemiology consist of subspecialties areas such as infection, chronic, genetic, environmental, occupational, social, and behavioral epidemiology (UCdenver, 2016). The author has picked three subspecialties infection, social and behavioral, and cancer epidemiology. CDC created the infected epidemiology by developing a new program called EIP, which stands for Emerging Infection Program (Vugia, Meek, Danila, Jones, Schaffner, Baumbach, & Harrison, 2015). The EIP main goal is a monitor, prevent, and control and an outbreak within the community, by maintaining a current emergency response program, evaluating, and developing a public health implementation (CDC, 2015). The social epidemiologist might interview teenagers who are at high risk of becoming a gang member, becoming pregnant, or early death due to living in an abusive home (PHSW, n.d.). The social epidemiologist main goal is to target high-risk teenagers , and then implement strategies to address the health concern such as teen pregnancy, gang affiliation, and childhood obesity (PHSW, n.d.). This implementation can be accomplished by including their parents, clergy, community, and their teacher to come along side the high-risk teens (PHSW, n.d.). Finally, cancer epidemiology is a subspecialty that is concern with cancer, the precursor to cancer such as gastritis can lead to stomach cancer, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia can lead to cervical cancer (Lilienfeld, Pedersen, & Dowd, 1968). Cancer epidemiologist are like detective striding to work with male and females through health and the prevention, and cancer screen such as PSA levels in men, and PAP smears in females (Lilienfeld, Pedersen, & Dowd,
