Introduction to epidemiology and it's measurementswrigveda
Epidemiology is defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations. It has three main components - distribution, determinants, and frequency. Measurement of disease frequency involves quantifying disease occurrence and is a prerequisite for epidemiological investigation. Rates, ratios, and proportions are key tools used to measure disease frequency and distribution. Incidence rates measure new cases over time while prevalence rates measure existing cases. These measurements are essential for describing disease patterns, formulating hypotheses, and evaluating prevention programs.

Global surveillance One World – One Health. Presentation from the Technical Meeting on the impact of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) on food safety management and GMI-9, 23-25 May 2016, Rome, Italy.
The International Health Regulations originated in 1851 to promote international cooperation and limit interference with trade during disease outbreaks. The IHR have been revised multiple times to address new public health challenges, including the 2005 revision to strengthen surveillance and response systems for infectious diseases and public health emergencies. The IHR (2005) require countries to develop core surveillance and response capacities and obligate information sharing during public health events of international concern in order to rapidly detect and respond to global health threats.
Surveillance involves the systematic collection, analysis, and use of health data for decision-making. It serves as an early warning system and monitors the impact of interventions. There are different types of surveillance including community-based, hospital-based, and active/passive surveillance. Community-based surveillance engages community members to detect and report health events. Hospital-based surveillance relies on regular reporting from hospitals. Active surveillance actively seeks out cases, while passive surveillance waits for cases to be reported. The appropriate surveillance method depends on the context and challenges.
This document discusses different types of surveillance including electronic, computer, audio, visual, and biometric surveillance. It provides examples of various surveillance methods such as electronic article surveillance, social network analysis, wiretapping, red light cameras, and gait analysis. The document also discusses debates around surveillance powers and technologies used by law enforcement.
1) The document discusses surveillance in public health and describes its key components and purposes. Surveillance involves the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data to provide information for action.
2) An effective surveillance system is simple, flexible, timely, and produces high-quality data. It addresses an important public health problem and accomplishes its objectives of understanding disease trends, detecting outbreaks, and evaluating control measures.
3) The document outlines how to establish a surveillance system, including selecting priority diseases, defining standard case definitions, and developing regular reporting and data dissemination processes. Both passive and active surveillance methods are described.
Road accidents have become a major problem in India, with over 130,000 deaths annually, more than any other country. Some key facts about road accidents in India include that there is an average of one accident per minute, resulting in 290 deaths per day. Improper or reckless driver behavior such as speeding, drunk driving, distraction, and not wearing seatbelts are among the primary causes. Road accidents also have significant financial costs, imposing losses of 1-3% of India's GDP each year. The government has implemented various initiatives and preventative measures through the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to improve road safety, but more remains to be done.
Road Accident Analysis and Prevention in Nigeria: Experimental and Numerical ...IJASRD Journal
This paper empirically analysed road accident and its prevention in Nigeria. Data for road traffic crashes trend was sourced from Federal Road Safety Corps in Nigeria from 1960 - 2017. The data was tested for stationarity using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, while the co-integration was conducted using Johansen’s methodology. Least Square estimate was employed for the empirical analysis. The results show that there is long run equilibrium relationship between total number of casualties, total number of fatal cases and total number of minor cases of accidents in Nigeria. The results show that there is positive and significant relationship between fatal cases, severe cases and total number of casualties, while minor cases have negative and significant relationship with total number of casualties. The study therefore recommends that government should invest massively in road transportation infrastructure in order to repair dilapidated roads, expand narrow roads and construct new ones. Government should legislate and enforce installation of speed limit devices for all vehicles operating on Nigerian roads to reduce reckless speeding on the highways which will definitely reduce total number of accidents and casualties on Nigerian roads.
Due to increased urbanisation and motorisation, the road transport sector has become instrumental in the development of the world economy. However, this has left the society and the environment with negative impacts, otherwise refer to as negative externalities. One of the most obvious evidence of these external costs is the road traffic accidents (RTAs). RTAs have physical, social, emotional and economic implications. To address these implications, the international community has responded with series of programmes and policies. However, RTAs have continue to claim the lives and property of people of especially developing countries who, unlike their developed counterparts, have not been successful in implementing programmes and policies that drastically reduce the prevalence of RTAs. In this study, we highlighted the importance of social marketing in addressing the lingering problems of RTAs in Nigeria. We provided some practical examples on how marketing concepts could be applied in addressing the social aspect of these issues and maintain safer driving. We believe that social marketing will be (and remains) the only option to overcoming RTAs and their attendant health, economic, environmental and social challenges in, especially, developing countries where RTAs are a major problem.
Advancing Road Safety in India: Challenges and OpportunitiesWaseemAhmad186
India has seen rising road accidents as the number of vehicles has increased dramatically in recent decades while road infrastructure has not kept pace. Over 5 lakh road accidents occurred in India in 2015, resulting in 1.46 lakh deaths. Young people between 15-35 years old account for over half of road accident victims. The top causes of accidents are reckless or drunk driving, speeding, and not wearing seatbelts. The government has created policies and programs focused on education, enforcement, engineering, and emergency response to try to advance road safety in India.
Road traffic injuries: Post-2015 Challenges in Nigeria by Dr. Nzechukwu Micha...Nze Michael Isiozor
Road traffic injuries are a major public health issue in Nigeria, constituting one of the top three causes of death for those aged 5-44. In 2013, an estimated 35,641 deaths occurred due to road traffic accidents in Nigeria. Contributing factors include speeding, drinking and driving, poor vehicle roadworthiness, and inadequate infrastructure such as potholes and lack of proper signage. Potential solutions proposed include establishing and enforcing legislation around drunk driving and seatbelt use, improving emergency response services, increasing public health education, and collaborating internationally on research and planning.
There was an increasing trend from 2010 to 2011 motor traffic accidents in Kuwait City, passengers and pedestrians are always at highest risk of being injured or killed on the road. Quantitative and qualitative results indicated that the technical element of the highway construction, irresponsibility, poor management, cell phones, alcohol and drugs, age of the victims and poor condition of services were the causes of traffic accidents in Kuwait. The study recommended that the government should review legislation regarding employment of drivers, and working conditions of police force should be improved, public road safety campaigns should be conducted, and new driving license system should be imposed. The use of cell phones while driving should be restricted. The hospital and police records should be updated with the number of road victims, the hospital staff, traffic police and ambulance personnel should be considered for intensive training on emergency and preparedness, and regular vehicle inspection should be introduced in Kuwait City.

Economic impact of accidents athnes 9 5-2014Zoi Tsapou
Road traffic accidents have a significant economic impact on healthcare systems globally. According to WHO data, 1.2 million people die annually in road accidents, costing over $500 billion. Low and middle income countries account for 90% of deaths and half of fatalities are among those aged 15-44. The costs of accidents exceed development assistance for some poorer countries. Road accidents also have substantial social costs through loss of income, increased poverty, and psychological trauma for victims and families. Reducing accidents could save lives and free up resources for healthcare systems and economic development.
The document summarizes key aspects of road safety in Ethiopia, including:
- Institutional roles like the Ministry of Transport and Road Fund Agency.
- Infrastructure issues like increasing the road network but designs prioritizing vehicles over pedestrians and cyclists.
- Vehicle standards exist but focus more on attributes like age not safety.
- Pre-hospital emergency response is inadequate outside Addis Ababa.
- Road crashes are a severe problem, with over 4,500 fatalities in 2018, though actual figures are likely higher due to underreporting. Speeding and not wearing seatbelts or helmets are common causes.
The Economic Impact of Accidents on Health Care SystemAlexander Bardis
This document discusses the economic impact of traffic accidents on healthcare systems globally. Some key points:
- Over 1.2 million people die yearly in traffic accidents, with 90% occurring in low and middle income countries. Road accidents are a leading cause of death worldwide.
- The costs of traffic accidents amount to over $500 billion globally each year, exceeding development assistance to low/middle income countries and representing 1-2% of GDP. Injuries disproportionately affect young working age individuals.
- Beyond the economic costs, traffic accidents have widespread social impacts, including impoverishing families and inflicting long-term physical, emotional and psychological suffering on survivors and their caregivers.
The document discusses a report on road safety in Costa Rica conducted by the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP). Key findings of the report include:

An analysis of the incidence and causes of road traffic accident in Kisii, Ce...iosrphr_editor
Background: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are an emerging public health problem. It is estimated that more than 5 million people between 17-40 years of age die annually as a result of RTAs worldwide. Currently, RTA is the tenth leading cause of disease burden in the developing countries, especially in the Sub-Saharan African countries. The objective of the study was to analyze the proportion of accidents by vehicle, as well as investigate group of people vulnerable to RTA.
1) Road accidents are a major global epidemic, killing over 1.2 million people per year which is projected to become the third leading cause of death by 2020. Developing countries disproportionately experience higher rates of road deaths compared to vehicle ownership.
2) Common causes of traffic collisions include speeding, impaired driving from alcohol/drugs, lack of seatbelt use, driver distraction or impairment from age/fatigue. These accidents have significant economic and social costs for individuals and countries.
3) Solutions to improve road safety include better road infrastructure like barriers and markings, advanced safety systems in vehicles, and more efficient transportation systems to reduce congestion and conflicts between modes of travel. Stricter enforcement of traffic laws
COUNTRIES CAPABILITIES TO ACHIEVE ambitiousAMBITIOUSBambangWahono3
The purpose of the research paper is to observe and analyze how the economic growth of EU countries is
accompanied by growth of motorization rate, which causes accidents in roads which causes huge amounts of killed
and injured people. Research methodology is statistical analysis of economic growth, motorization rate and road
accidents in the EU countries during the period of 2010–2020. In the research paper the quantitative analysis and
comparison method are applied. Findings: research paper shows how in the EU countries increase of motor vehicles
causes road accidents and mortality of people. According to the level of economic development there are differences
between growth of motorization rate and decrease of fatalities. Because at low income levels the rate of increase in
motor vehicles outpaces the decline in fatalities per motor vehicle. At higher income levels, the reverse occurs.
Practical implications: research paper demonstrates for road traffic safety authorities the need to know safety
performance indicators and take them into account in preparing of legislation to strengthen EU vision of “zero
victims”, and give better protection for victims of motor vehicle accidents. Originality – paper analyses the relationship
between motorization levels and fatalities of different economic growth EU countries during last decades.

2. INTRODUCTION:
• All injuries account for 10% of the worlds deaths
with about 5.8 million deaths each year.
• Of these, 1.2 million deaths are due to road
traffic accidents.
• Road Traffic Accidents also account for more
than 50 million injuries and are among the
leading causes of death and disability in those
aged between 5-44 . It is the leading cause of
death and disability in those aged 15-29.
• Road traffic accidents are forecasted to rise by
67% by 2020, and in low and middle income
countries, deaths are expected to increase by
83%.
(WHO 2010 report)
3. • In Africa, in 2008, there were 687,000 deaths
due to violence and injuries.(equal to 7% of
the region). Of these, 167,000 deaths were
due to Road Traffic Accidents. (WHO 2010)
• As it stands, the fatality rate in Africa due to
Road Traffic crashes is 32 per 100,000.
• Kenya ranks 6th
highest in RTA deaths globally
with a fatality rate of 34.4 per 100,000.
• These deaths are preventable if the risk
factors that include excessive speeding,
driving under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, the none use of safety belts and
helmets are adressed. (WHO 2004)
5. PURPOSE OF THE SURVEILANCE
SYSTEM:
• A consortium of partners that include
Bloomberg Philanthropies, Global Road Safety
Partnership(GRSP), John Hopkins University
(JHU), Association for safe International Road
Travel(ASIRT) and WHO have partnered with
the governments of 10 focus countries (which
include Kenya) that account for nearly half of
the worlds Road Traffic Deaths.
• These partnerships are in support of the
Decade of Action For Road Safety that aims to
reduce deaths from Road Traffic Accidents by
2020 through enhancement of road safety,
improved trauma care and data system
strengthening.
6. • Consequently the government selected two
sites for the pilot project, situated in Thika (pop.
560,253) and Naivasha (pop. 189,000), which
was launched in March of 2011.
• These are points of data collection as regards
Road Traffic Accident injuries and other
injuries.
The goals of the surveillance system include:
1. Estimate and monitor incidence of RTAs and
related outcomes.
2. Identify risk factors and high risk areas to
inform prevention policies and programs
3. Evaluate programs aimed at preventing Road
Traffic Injuries
7. OPERATION OF THE SURVEILLANCE
SYSTEM:
• The surveillance system measures indices of
frequency such as incidence of deaths and
injuries resulting from RTAs with the following
case definitions:
1. Road Traffic Injury: Any person who has
sustained an injury as a result of a road traffic
crash presenting for the first time. (IDSR 2012)
2.Road Traffic Fatality: Any person killed
immediately or dying within 30 days as a result of
an injury or crash. (IDSR 2012)
9. Conclusion and recommendations:
• The surveillance system has been useful in
detecting injuries and has served as a basis for
formulation of policies and monitoring and
evaluating implemented policies.
• This has been particularly useful in prevention
of road accidents.
