The first public health investigation occcured in London with the Broad Street Outbreak.

1. Who investigated and solved the outbreak?
2. What was the cause of the Broad Street Outbreak?
3. What action did the investigator do to stop the Broad Street Outbreak (looking for specifics)

graphical display that illustrates the  strength of effects of treatment in many quantitative scientific studies addressing the same question and the odds ratio tells you the chance of contracting disease or illness based on your exposure status
