| 2. | a human or animal that provides adequateliving conditions for any given infectious agent |
| 3. | a three level model of interventions based on the stages of disease, designed to halt or reverse the processof pathological change as early as possible, thereby preventing damage |
| 5. | intervention that begins once the disease is obvious; the aim is to interrupt the course of the disease, reduce the amount of disability that might occur, and begin rehabilitation |
| 6. | an epidemiologic study in which health outcomes and exposures or charasteristics of interest are simultaneously ascertained and examined for an association in a population or sample providing a picture of existing levels of all factors |
| 7. | a form of epidemiology that describes a disease according to dimensions of a person, place, and time |
| 8. | a rate of disease clearly in excess of usual frequency |
| 11. | factors that influence the risk for or distrubition of health outcomes |

| 15. | a bias that results from the relationship between both the ooutcome and study factor and some third factor not accounted for in analysis |
| 17. | an epidemiologic study design in which subjects without an outcome of interest are classified according to past or present exposures or characteristics and followed over time to observe and compare rates of some health outcome in the various exposure groups |
| 19. | a pattern of a health outcome in a population;the frequencies of the outcome according to various personal charasteristics, geography, and time |
| 20. | systematic and ongoing observation and collection of data concerning disease occurrence in order to describe phenomena and detect changes in frequency or distribution |
| 21. | causative factor invading a suseptible host through an enviroment favorable to produce disease, such as a biological or chemical agent |
