Jekel’s Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Preventive Medicine, and Public Health

A comprehensive overview of epidemiology and public health, detailing the multifactorial causes of disease, which include biologic, behavioral, environmental, and social factors encapsulated by the BEINGS acronym. Significant emphasis is placed on disease prevention strategies across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, alongside methods for controlling both infectious outbreaks and chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and mental health disorders. The text also thoroughly explores biostatistics and research methodology, discussing key concepts such as disease rates, risk measurement (relative risk, attributable risk), diagnostic test evaluation (sensitivity, specificity, predictive values), and the application of various statistical tests for data analysis. Finally, the sources address the structure and challenges of the U.S. health care system and the importance of the One Health approach for understanding and mitigating emerging zoonotic diseases at the human-animal-environment interface.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/medicine_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
