Describe The Relationship Between Health And Social Care
Epidemiology is the study of patterns of disease in human populations. (Kleinbaum et al., 1982)
Whenever we observe a non-random distribution, we have the opportunity to identify casual factors of who gets a disease and who does not. For example, observations exhibit that depression rises rapidly after puberty in girls, but not to the same extent as boys. Epidemiology is greatly concerned with understanding individuals and illnesses and the causes of illness. Whilst clinical medicine asks, “what is wrong with this person, and how should I treat him/her?” Epidemiology asks, “What is wrong …show more content…
