What are the CDC's 7 Public Health Threat for the near future.
1. Zika and pregnancy. It has kept Zika and pregnancy in focus in particular, as the virus has been linked to birth defects like microcephaly. For instance, the CDC established registries to track outcomes of pregnancies of women with Zika.
2. Antibiotic resistance. The agency released the Antibiotic-Resistance Patient Safety Atlas web app this year, which shows the types of resistance most common in states and regions.
3. Cancer. The agency plans to improve HPV vaccination coverage through public policy and clinical practice.
4. Prescription drug overdose. The CDC issued guidelines for opioid prescription for chronic pain
5. Global health security. Global Rapid Response Team has responded to 18 countries for diseases like cholera, yellow fever, Ebola, measles, polio and Zika.
6. Tobacco use. Tobacco education campaign, in which Americans share personal stories relating to tobacco illnesses.
7. Rapid response to outbreaks. The CDC used advanced molecular detection technology this year to sequence the DNA of bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi and then used supercomputers to discover molecular patterns to better understand diseases.
What protocols are in place if there is a threat or actual breach to public health databases?
Communicable diseases remain a significant public health threat. This threat is highlighted by the recent reemergence of certain diseases that were previously at low levels in the population (such as the measles and meningitis) and pandemics (such as the flu and norovirus). There are dynamic and ecological factors that contribute to this issue, including international travel. Strong health communication efforts are important for both prevention (health promotion/advocacy, social marketing health literacy) and outbreak response (crisis or risk communication). The state...
Public health and safety officials have classified the Zika virus as a hazardous threat to pregnant women in Brazil. A study based in Rio found the virus to be more active near a body of water that was found to be polluted. A study of 20 water samples found an average chemical waste of 168 g per mile with a standard deviation of 17.81 g. Find the 95% confidence interval (in g per mile) for this study. (Use a table...
