Discussion 1-3 EPid ( two pages)
Because it draws from other fields such as biostatistics and
social sciences, epidemiology is described as being
interdisciplinary. From which aspects of other disciplines do
you feel epidemiology borrows? In what ways does
epidemiology differ from those disciplines? When responding to
your classmates, provide additional connections between
epidemiology and other disciplines. Support your response with
specific examples.
Response one
Epidemiology and Other Disciplines
Epidemiology is the “study of the distribution and determinants
of health and disease, morbidity, injuries, disability, and
mortality in populations” (Friis & Sellers, 2014, p. 743).
Epidemiology was first developed to understand causes of
certain diseases such as smallpox and polio among humans. It
now also includes the study of factors associated with non-
transmissible diseases like cancer. It is described as
interdisciplinary as it borrows elements from many other
disciplines including microbiology and sociology. Epidemiology
utilizes microbiology to help understand specific disease agents
and modes of transmission. Microbiological techniques are
borrowed to help in revealing sources of outbreaks and to
determine sources. Sociology is equally important in
epidemiology to aid in the study of social conditions and
disease processes. Social sciences also assist epidemiologists in
providing different methods on sampling such as measurement,
questionnaire development, design, and delivery (Friis &
Sellers, 2014). “Social factors have become more important
precisely because epidemiological and biomedical knowledge
has shifted the causes and consequences of disease from fate,
accident, and bad luck to factors that are under some human
control” (Link, 2008, p. 367).
Epidemiology differs from other disciplines in its perspective
on groups or populations rather than individuals. It contrasts
diseases and characteristics relative to different time periods,
different places or different groups. It also differs from the
physical sciences because it does not investigate the biological
mechanism leading from exposure to disease. Epidemiologists
can identify modifiable conditions that contribute to the health
outcome without also identifying the biological mechanism or
agent that lead to the outcome. An example of this is the
improvements of environmental hygiene that reduced infectious
diseases like cholera, that was possible before the identification
of the actual bacteria (Ahrens, Krickeberg, & Pigeot, 2005).
Epidemiological studies are crucial to preventing, controlling
and eradicating diseases. The research helps us to understand
the incidence and prevalence of diseases, the cost of illness, and
the burden of disease on society (Friis & Sellers, 2014). I have
attached an article that I read about the role of mathematical
modeling and prediction in infectious disease epidemiology that
I felt was interesting and relevant to our Epidemiology course.

  • 2. on groups or populations rather than individuals. It contrasts diseases and characteristics relative to different time periods, different places or different groups. It also differs from the physical sciences because it does not investigate the biological mechanism leading from exposure to disease. Epidemiologists can identify modifiable conditions that contribute to the health outcome without also identifying the biological mechanism or agent that lead to the outcome. An example of this is the improvements of environmental hygiene that reduced infectious diseases like cholera, that was possible before the identification of the actual bacteria (Ahrens, Krickeberg, & Pigeot, 2005). Epidemiological studies are crucial to preventing, controlling and eradicating diseases. The research helps us to understand the incidence and prevalence of diseases, the cost of illness, and the burden of disease on society (Friis & Sellers, 2014). I have attached an article that I read about the role of mathematical modeling and prediction in infectious disease epidemiology that I felt was interesting and relevant to our Epidemiology course.
