Disease of Global Concern

Disease of Global Concern

HSC 4010| Epidemiology and Disease Control

Well-being markers are valuable in that they depict wellbeing status and furnish an examination with wellbeing related arrangement, program, and administration objectives. At the point when wellbeing markers are accounted for as indicated by individual, place, and time variables, it is conceivable to better comprehend who is at most serious danger and how they have turned out to be more vulnerable to the wellbeing issue. Well-being markers are helpful for describing the wellbeing issue, which prompts the examination inquiry and detailing of theories. A suitable investigative study configuration is then chosen for evaluating the exploration theory (Merrill, 2012 Ch. 6 pg. 174).

Global concern infection (HIV, AIDS,)

There are different diseases that are regarded as global concerned since they are faced in different geographical areas. An example of search disease is HIV-AIDS, which is a global infectious disease (Rowan, D. 2013). It is greatly important to consider different factors in ensuring that there are different factors to consider to reduce the infection level of the disease and facilitate treatment of infected individuals.

How would you use demographic data to characterize this disease?

Through understanding the population infected in different geographical areas, it is possible to draw the line between different areas that are affected by the disease. There are different factors that lead to infection of HIV AID. Through attaining a certain demographic data on the rate of infection, is usually possible to characterize the disease according to the area. HIV is a virus infectious diseases that is attained through sexual Interco’s. It easily to characterize the disease with the data attained since it indicates the areas with high infection rate are less conversant with preventive measures concerning the disease, especially HIV-AIDS (Novotny, T., Adeyi, O., Haazen, D., & International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. 2003). There are different preventive measures for HIV and geographical areas that are highly infected lacks preventive measure knowledge and tools like condoms. Through the infection data rate, it is possible to characterize the disease as a highly preventable disease by individuals with knowledge of preventive measure unlike them with no knowledge.

How would you incorporate further research to address this disease?

Through acquiring data on different geographical areas information concerning the disease, the factor can greatly facilitate further study. Through further study, it is possible to understand the main factors that are Couse of high infection of the disease and the cause of low infection as well. Through the study, it is possible to develop mitigation strategies to reduce the infection rate in both high and low infected geographical areas.

How would you use morbidity and mortality in developing prevention strategies aimed at increasing attention to the disease and decreasing adverse health outcomes?

There are different preventive and treatment measures designed for HIV AIDS individuals to lower the level of morbidity and mortality. Through acquiring the data of morbidity and mortality rate in a certain geographical area, it is easier to develop preventive measures since the challenge faced on the cause will be recognized. Through reducing the rate of morbidity, the effect as well is felt in mortality since there will be less number of infected individuals (Rowan, D. 2013). Through understanding the morbidity in a community, it is possible to build mitigation procedures to reduce infection of the disease that lastly leads to a reduction of mortality rate.

Which phenomenon–morbidity or mortality is better to study to develop preventive strategies?

Different areas have a different rate of HIV-AIDS infection. To understand the possible preventive measures for the disease, it is greatly important to consider areas with low infection rate since they seem to understand different measures that are required to be taken as treatment and preventive measures (Novotny, T., Adeyi, O., Haazen, D., & International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. 2003). It is essential to conduct a study on areas with the low rate of morbidity and mortality rate since they have a great knowledge on preventive and treatment measures. In conclusion, HIV AIDS infectious disease requires an appropriate study to characterize a certain geographical area for a clear understanding that facilitates the building of preventive and treatment measures of the disease. Through the study, it is possible to understand the factors that are the cause of morbidity and mortality rate in the area and built strategies to reduce the rate level.
