Which of the following is/are true about the epidemiologic transition hypothesized for economically developing countries? Group of answer choices All of these are true about the epidemiologic transition. It posited that, as low-income countries build infrastructure and services that come along with economic development, they will see a decrease in communicable diseases and an increase in non- communicable diseases. It failed to account for infectious etiologies of some non-communicable diseases such as cervical cancer or Kaposi's sarcoma. It didn't come true. In fact, recent research shows that developing countries are suffering a "double burden" of non- communicable diseases on top of communicable ones.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? a. Epidemiologists need to focus on evidence and data concerning diseases or other health outcomes, and not on their personal opinions or beliefs b.

Which of the following is true about neglected tropical diseases? Group of answer choices Though they impact billions of people, most of these diseases are very expensive and difficult to treat Older adults are most vulnerable to these diseases, while children are relatively unaffected by them given their strong immune systems. These diseases affect relatively small populations, but have very high mortality rates They impact billions of people and are relatively easy to treat given sufficient funding and an efficient implementation of that funding
Epidemiologist rely on a set of standard study designs to understand the distribution of 'diseases' and what factors are associated with the presence or absence of disease. Ultimately, the goal is to identify the 'causes' of disease in order to prevent the disease in the future. In modern epidemiology, disease is defined broadly, and can range from infectious diseases (e.g., malaria, HIV), chronic diseases (e.g., heart attack, stroke, diabetes), injuries (e.g., car accidents, homicide), or even social conditions (e.g., poverty). Exposures too may be defined as anything proposed as a potential cause (or correlate) of the disease. For this exercise, briefly outline a hypothetical study to investigate a potential exposure/disease relationship. You may draw on your own experience or choose a topic that is of interest to you. After choosing a topic to study, select an appropriate study design from the list below. Cross-sectional study Cohort study Case-control study Ecological study…
