 True

 False

QUESTION 3

		E+D+

QUESTION 4

1. Which measure tells us the percentage of the disease among the exposed that is attributable to a particular exposure?

		relative risk
		attributable risk
		population attributable risk
		population attributable risk percent

		E+D+

QUESTION 9

1. When RR < 1.0, it indicates greater risk in the exposed group than in the unexposed group.

 True

 False

QUESTION 10

1. Incidence among the exposed = Etiologic cases + background incidence.

 True

 False

QUESTION 11

1. The incidence in the exposed is calculated by:

		a/(a+b)
		b/ (a+b)
		c/(c+d)
		d/(c+d)

QUESTION 12

1. Relative Risk measures strength of association between exposure and disease.

 True

 False

QUESTION 13

1. Relative means __________, while absolute means ___________.

		subtraction, division
		division, addition
		addition, division
		division, subtraction

QUESTION 14

1. Excess cases shows a person never had exposure, so the person would not have become a D+ during the time interval.

 True

 False

QUESTION 15

1. [(a + c) / (a + b +c + d) ] x 10n is the formula for:

		Incidence in the exposed
		Incidence in the unexposed
		Total incidence
		PAR
		PAR%
		a migraine

QUESTION 16

1. When RR > 1.0, it indicates less risk in the exposed group than the unexposed group.

 True

 False

QUESTION 17

1. 200 new cases of HPV were diagnosed in the 1000 college women who got PAP smears at WKU last year. Of those, 120 had five or more sexual partners since becoming sexually active, as compared to 360 who did not have HPV.

Calculate and interpret RR, AR, AP, PAR, and PAR%.  Please show your calculations.
