Health protection
Disease and Injury Prevention
Screening
Population Health Assessment

Vulnerable Populations
Definition of sureillance correct answer: collecting, interpreting
and communicating health data and acting upon it in order to
identify disease trends, emerging pathogens, etc
Definition of health promotion correct answer: encouraging
healthy behaviors (e.g., smoking legislation), building healthy
environments (bicycle paths, etc).
Definition of health protection correct answer: more specific
than health promotion, this targets particular health hazards and
reduces people's exposure to them. Drug safety regulations; food
, inspections; hazardous substances and pollution; vector control
and smoke-free spaces are examples
Population Health Assessment: correct answer: monitoring
underlying social trends that affect health (poverty,
homelessness, drug use, etc.) and encouraging government s to
address these. This relates to health promotion, but moves the
focus of attention upstream, to address underlying determinants.
Disease and Injury prevention: correct answer: Closely related
to health protection, this focuses on particular
diseases/conditions. Many approaches are best implemented at
the population level: food safety; immunization; outbreak
control; road safety; playground design, etc.
Emergency Preparedness: correct answer: Natural disasters,
infectious disease, bioterrorism, etc. An aspect of health
protection, but more generic as we do not know precisely what
we must protect against
Vulnerable Groups: correct answer: protecting the health of
particular groups such as maternal and infant health, refugees,
etc.
Differece between passive and active surveillance correct
answer: Surveillance may be passive, in which the system waits
for cases to be reported, or active, in which you search out the
cases of disease. Active surveillance may be necessary with an
outbreak of a new disease (such as SARS), in which physicians
in the community would not routinely be reporting cases. Active
surveillance might (for example) involve calling hospital staff
