1.2.1 Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of the causes and the distribution of health events and the use of the study findings to inform prevention strategies. The health events include injuries, sickness, disability, death or survival. These events occur among people in a given place at a particular time. Therefore, it is important that when an event is observed the three aspects of person, place and time are analyzed efficiently. Epidemiology is premised on the assumptions that events do not occur randomly and these events can be prevented. The objectives of epidemiology are to: (i) describe the amount of disease in the population, (ii) study distribution, (iii) determine cause and risk factors, (iv) assess effectiveness of prevention and treatment programs, and (v) inform policy. To achieve these goals the following approaches are used: (i) descriptive epidemiology which provides information of frequency and distribution of events and therefore used to generate hypothesis; (ii) analytical epidemiology which provides information of cause and risk factors and therefore used to test hypothesis.
