If a complete list of those exposed is not available, what type of study should be used to find the relationship between a specific exposure and a disease?
Cohort Study

Case control. Deduce to cohort or case control based on "relationship between a specific exposure and a disease". Out of the two it's case-control (stated in http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/cd/lhds/manuals/cd/training/Module_1_1.6_ppt_OutbreakInvestigation.pdf, not quite sure why, probably a good thing to search)

Ask this here in the Disease Detectives Forum: http://scioly.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php? ... 53#p282653 You'll probably get more help.mzn wrote:For the basic epidemiological and public health terms, do we have to know and define every term we can find?
What exactly do we have to do for this event? There is so much information given that it gets a bit confusing.

An infectious agent (a bacteria, virus, etc.) leaves a reservoir (a place where it can multiply) through a portal of exit. It then infects a susceptible host (someone who cannot stop the agent from multiplying and causing an infection) after being conveyed through a mode of transmission and going through a portal of entry.
Good job. Your turn.ampy1234567 wrote:UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:Darn I knew it was one of those two. What's the chain of infection?
