Posing the problem-II In a given European city it has been observed that some points of aggregation of indigent people with these characteristics started to appear. Therefore it has been decided to carry out a study of potential risks. How would you set up the study and which research tools do you think are necessary? Epidemiological monitoring/vigilance Definition of groups to be monitored SPECIES Definition of groups at risk GROUPS AT RISK
IDENTIFICATION OF POSSIBLE SITUATIONS OR ASSOCIATED ELEMENTS OF RISKS How will you carry out the search for factors that can be at risk? Epidemiological survey Design the ideal model of QUESTIONNAIRE
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE STRATEGIES Decision making about what to do when facing the problem, will be supported in the previous RISK ANALYSIS. Will you be able to design an analysis for the hypothetical scenario in which the situation takes place in your city? Carry out a qualitative Risk Analysis and depending on this evaluation decide the Risk Management Measures(preventive medicine) that could be applied in your town.
