File name | Epidemiology And Surveillance |
File Description | This chapter provides an overview of the key epidemiological principles and the epidemiological tools needed in managing emergency public health programmes. The main goals are to reduce morbidity and mortality among disaster affected and displaced populations. Epidemiology is the study of the causes and distribution of disease in human populations. An epidemiological approach helps planners to focus on the main problems of a community rather than of individual patients and to identify measures for improving the health of the community as a whole. Commonly used terms in epidemiology are defined in the glossary at the end of this chapter |
