  3. What is Epidemiology? “Epidemiology is concerned with the distribution and determinants of health and diseases, morbidity, injuries, disability, and mortality in populations” --Friis, R.H., & Sellers, T. (2008). Epidemiology for Public Health Practice, Fourth Edition.Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett.

  4. Distribution • Descriptive Epidemiology / Surveillance • Observing the distribution of:

  5. Person • What populations are most affected? • Age • Race/ethnicity • Gender • Occupation

  6. Place • What geographic areas are most affected? • National comparison • Regional comparison • Community comparison

  7. Time • Have key indicators changed over time? • Consumption • Consequences • Risk and Protective Factors

  8. Epi Trends by Maybelline & Jay

  9. What is Epidemiology? “Epidemiology is concerned with the distribution and determinants of health and diseases, morbidity, injuries, disability, and mortality in populations” --Friis, R.H., & Sellers, T. (2008). Epidemiology for Public Health Practice, Fourth Edition.Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett.

  10. Determinants • Risk Factors increase the likelihood of substance use and it’s consequences • Risk Factors in RMI? • Protective Factors reduce the potential for substance use and it’s consequences • Protective Factors in RMI?

  11. General Epi Concepts: Morbidity vs. Mortality • Morbidity refers to disease, illness, or disability • Mortality refers to death

  12. General Epi Concepts: Incidence vs. Prevalence • Prevalence quantifies number of existing cases in a population at a point or during a period of time. • Incidencequantifies the number of new cases that develop in a population at risk during a specified time period.

  13. Incidence Prevalence

  14. Epi Profile Focus • Consumption – Use and high-risk use of alcohol, tobacco, and/or drugs • Consequences – Adverse social, health, and safety consequences associated with alcohol, tobacco, and drug use • Risk and Protective Factors – Factors that increase or decrease the potential for substance use and it’s consequences

  15. You have an epi profile…now what? • What data do you have? What data are missing? • What resources are available in your communities? What’s missing? • What services already exist? Where are their gaps in services?

  16. You have an epi profile…now what? • How knowledgeable are the communities about substance use-related problems? • How ready are your communities for implementing prevention interventions? • Are you ready to prioritize your substance use issues and populations?

  17. What’s next? We’re here for you!!! Alyssa Joshua Kristen
