Scenario 4: In the remote village of Hooper Bay in Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, a routine screening detects active TB in a 28-year-old mother and latent cases in her three young children. This sparked contact tracing that uncovered 12 additional infections in the tight-knit community of 1,200, where multigenerational households and seasonal gatherings facilitate spread despite vaccination efforts.  Local health aids, supported by state epidemiologists, are sent to the village to isolate cases.   

Which organization leads global efforts to promote health, set international standards, and coordinate disease control?

Which of the following are Ramjord teeth?  

Research on periodontal disease shows that males 20-64 years of age have a 5.94% ___________ rate of periodontal disease in nonsmokers compared to 14.74% in current smokers.

Scenario 6:A dental hygienist compares two studies on smoking and periodontitis in rates in 20- 64-year-old males. Both studies used similar methodology and used the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS), a 6-item survey assessing cigarette consumption paired with a Periodontal Disease Index (PDI) using Ramfjord teeth and radiographs. Study A is a systematic review with meta-analysis of 14 cohort studies showing smokers have an 85% higher risk (RR=1.85). Study B is a cross-sectional survey of 200 patients linking smoking to periodontal disease.

What type of data are grouped into categories only with no numerical value, such as AAS, BS, and MS degrees?

Which is referred to as a constituent member in the ADHA organization?

What is the best interpretation of the report from the CDC that reports the death rate of 2.5 per 100,000 in people aged 65 and older per year for planning your program?  

Scenario 1:  A registered dental hygienist receives an oral health grant to improve the decay rates of 8- to 10-year-olds in rural Alaska. The grant is awarded for 3 years and requires classroom education and bi-annual application of fluoride varnish to all participating 3rd-grade students at the local elementary school.

Applying the epidemiological triangle to this scenario, which would be the best way to effectively target the “environment” component to reduce oral cancer occurrence in older adults?
