  1. Do Now • Review “10 Great Public Health Achievements” that you read for homework (1) • Write down at least 3 ways your life might be different if you lived 100 years ago (in 1910). (2) 3 min.

  2. Important Terms • What is an epidemic? • Epidemic: any unexpectedly large number of cases of an illness, specific health-related behavior, or other health-related event in a particular population at a particular time. • What is a pandemic? • Pandemic: An epidemic that is occurring in many parts of the world. 3 min.

  3. Pandemic or epidemic?: a) H1N1 b) Stomach flu at UIC c) HIV/AIDS d) Shootings of CPS students e) Obesity 2 min.

  4. Review Communicable disease (infectious): • Can be transmitted from an infected person, animal, or object to another person Noncommunicable disease: • Non-transmissible (can’t be “caught”) Chronic disease: • Lasts longer than 3 months, sometimes for the remainder of one’s life Acute disease: • Peak severity of symptoms occurs and subsides within 3 months of onset, usually within days or weeks 1 min.

  5. Infectious/Non? Chronic/Acute? a) H1N1 b) Stomach flu at UIC c) HIV/AIDS e) Obesity Review: • Which are: • - Communicable (Infectious) • Noncommunicable • Chronic • Acute 2 min.

  6. Our Goal Today: Analyze the history of human health in terms of: - major epidemics - beliefs about health - medical discoveries - causes of death - life expectancy 1 min.

  7. 2 min.

  8. Teamwork Using Disease Detectives site and homework, create BRIEF notes for your assigned epidemic & add to google.doc. Be sure you are making conclusions & looking for patterns over time! • You get 10 min! 1 min.

  9. Disease Detectives Site

  10. MODEL: Leprosy Step 1: Read about leprosy Step 2: Take BRIEF notes Step 3: Review notes Step 4: Draw conclusions 4 min.

  11. Detail or Conclusion? • Caused by fleas and rats 2) 1939 doctor discovered the cure for the plague 3) Spread fast throughout the world 4) Better sanitation has reduced many infectious diseases (including cholera)

  12. Review: Conclusions/Patterns • Life expectancy: • Increased by more than 30 years in 20th century (47 to 78) • Why? • Leading causes of death: • communicable (infectious) to noncommunicable (chronic) shift began in 1920’s • Why? • Medical discoveries: • Antibiotics, vaccines, diagnostic & treatment tools • Why? • Beliefs about illness: Divine intervention—people were being punished for their sins then… Miasmas theory: diseases spread by miasmas or “bad air” then… Germ theory: diseases cause by microorganisms • Why? • Epidemics: • History of uncertain explanations of origin and patterns • Scientists began collecting & analyzing data Up to 5 min.

  13. Answer the following questions independently in notebooks (6). 1. MAJOR EPIDEMICS: Why are there fewer deadly epidemics today than in the past? (list 3 reasons) 2. LIFE EXPECTANCY: During which time period was there the largest increase in average life expectancy in the US? 3. CAUSES OF DEATH: Why was there such a big increase in average life expectancy during this time period in the US? 4. BELIEFS ABOUT HEALTH: If a person contracted a disease and died in the Middle Ages, how might the explanation of what happened be different than it would be today? 5. MEDICAL DISCOVERIES: Why do you think smallpox has been eradicated (eliminated from the world completely), while tuberculosis has not? Give at least 1 reason. 5-15 min.
