Historical development, definition, type, scope and application of epidemiology. Introduction to the basic principles and methods of epidemiology. Epidemiologic model of disease occurrence. Causal inferences in disease causation – unifactorial model, multi-factorial model, Web of causation, criteria for asserting etiological relationships in disease occurrence. Agent-host environment relationships in disease occurrence. Person-time-place descriptive epidemiological model. time-relationships in disease occurrence – natural history of disease, time of onset of a disease, time of diagnosis of disease, incubation period, time incidence function of a disease, mode of transmission of disease, epidemic curves, epidemiologic year of a disease, cyclicity (secular versus seasonal) in disease occurrence. Strategies and methods in the prevention and control of diseases. Quantitative and qualitative assessment of screening procedures and their strength. Measurement of health status. Assessment of etiologic relationships based on exposure and susceptibility factors – relative risk, attributable risk, attributable risk percent, population attributable risk and odds ratio. Basic epidemiologic study designs – cross-sectional studies, cohort or prospective studies, case-control studies, randomized clinical trials and community trials. Investigation and reporting of disease outbreak. Survey of the applications of epidemiology to diseases, injuries, and non-disease health problems, cause effect relationship.
