Epidemiology
Definition:
Epidemiology is the study of patterns and causes of health and
disease in populations AND the application of these studies to
improve health.
Why are we studying this??
9
Epidemiology
The information gathered in epidemiology includes:
• Life expectancy: Average number of years a given
gender is expected to live e.g. 84.5 female and 80.4
male
10
Your job to use the information learned (the right hand side of the
syllabus) and applying it to analyse the health system in Australia.

Social Justice Principles
EQUITY
Resources allocated fairly for equal opportunity.
Some groups face more disadvantages than others,
and in these cases of inequity, more resources allocated to those who need it to create equity
e.g. Those of lower socioeconomic status (less money, lower education, lower employment) have
less accessibility to health care
E.g. Medicare, bulk billing, PBS
DIVERSITY
Acknowledgement that population is made up of different groups, cultures and languages with
diverse health needs
e.g. ageing population, immigrants with ESL needs
e.g. Medicare available to ALL citizens, immunisation pamphlets available in different languages.

Priority Population Groups
PRIORITY POPULATION GROUPS
- Some population groups suffer greater health
inequities than others
- By focusing resources (prioritizing) the groups
suffering inequities, we improve these groups’
health, which contributes to increasing the health of
Australia overall.
PREVALENCE
Prevalence refers to how common the health issue is (the more common, the more we want to
prioritise).The greater the prevalence, the more burden this disease has on Australia’s health care
system
BURDEN of disease = the things that occur as a result of disease = increase demand for health
services, less resources, emotional burden.
17
Priority Population Groups
18
COSTS : DIRECT AND INDIRECT
Individual: DIRECT – financial, time for appointment, time off work, travel costs
INDIRECT – emotional trauma, mental health of carers etc.
19
Today we will discuss Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
and then, its your job to research/revise ONE other group.
20
Nature & Extent – ATSI Peoples
• Lower life expectancy (10 years) TIP: Look on Australian Bureau of Statistics for more
• Higher mortality rates specific stats for MC
• Higher levels of cancer
• More likely to describe their health as
poor TIP:
• ATSI make up 3% of Australia’s Nature = describe what
population, but 28% of the prison Extent = trend
population
• Overall Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Peoples have extensive TIP: Don’t get too bogged down on statistics for your
health gap short answers – just describe e.g. higher, lower etc.
21
The Determinants
• Higher rates of domestic • Within lower income bracket • Living in rural areas means
violence • Lower health literacy = decreased access to services
• Some adults associate with a increased participation in risky that are only available in more
clan, which can impart language behaviors such as smoking urban areas
barriers • Lower rates of finishing high • Some are homeless –
• Suffered years of unjust school contributes to lower sometimes health forms need an
oppression, which has lead to health literacy address for processing, and so
distrust of healthcare services • Lower employment rates = without an address they are
lower income = affordability of unable to receive certain
services becomes difficult services
22
Roles of Individuals, Communities and Governments
Individual Community Governments
23
Remote Aboriginal swimming pools project = RASPP
THIS EXEMPLIFIES AN INTERSECTORAL APPROACH!
• Government
– WA State Government provides funding
• Community
– Pools are run and managed by the Royal Life Saving Society
• Individual
– Individuals engage with the program, leading to positive health outcomes
– In one school, retention rates rose from 20% to 80%
– Adolescent crime rates in some communities went to zero.
24
25
Cardiovascular Disease – Nature
Conditions and diseases of the heart and peripheral blood vessels.
• Coronary heart disease - ischemic heart disease (disease of the blood vessels that supply the heart, whereby blood supply and thus oxygen
supply is cut off)
• Angina: chronic, temporary, short episodes of chest pain
• Heart Attack: blood vessels supplying heart get suddenly blocked
• Peripheral vascular disease (affects blood vessels in the limbs ie to atherosclerosis)
• Heart Failure - heart is unable to maintain a strong enough blood flow. It can result in chronic tiredness, reduced capacity for physical
activity and shortness of breath. Atherosclerosis – main cause of CVD – build up of plaque on the inside of vessels. It is a gradual process,
and if it ruptures, forms a clot which can block blood supply and cause heart attack
• Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) – disease of the arteries in the brain, caused by atherosclerotic clots = interruption of blood supply to
brain = stroke
• Also occurs as a result of blood vessels bursting in the brain
26
27
Cardiovascular Disease – Extent
1 in 5 Australians suffer from CVD
The rate of strokes has fallen by 25% in the last 10 years (if using as an example in a response you only need to say rates of strokes
has decreased. This level of detail is only needed for MC)
• Prevalence increasing
• Rates increase with age
• 2x higher for males
• Death rate decreasing due to improved medical technology
28
Cardiovascular Disease – Determinants
Socioeconomic
• High levels of education, means awareness of detriments of risky behaviors and thus less likely to develop a CVD
• Lower income = lower health outcomes (social gradient) as their accessibility is lower, and education also generally
lower
• Inability to afford fresh fruits and vegetables
Sociocultural
Environmental
• People living in rural areas have higher mortality rates of CVD due to slower speed of accessing immediate medical
attention
• Less access to overall services
29
Cardiovascular Disease – Risk factors & Groups at risk
Groups at Risk
• Smokers • People with high blood pressure and high cholesterol
• Overweight/ Obese • Males
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait • Elderly

Demand for Health Services and Incremental Effects
34
Availability of Carers and Volunteers
Greater demand for both these roles, and availability is not where it
needs to be.
35
36
Range and Type of Health Facilities
Hospitals (public and private): Medicare covers the costs of public hospitals making them more
accessible to socioeconomically disadvantaged people, though private hospitals require either full
payment by the patient or a combined payment using a private health insurer.
Primary care (GPs, nurses, dental): the frontline/first point of access of health care, where
referrals are made. Medicare covers the bulk of the cost, with many GPs choosing to add additional
fees on top of that provided by the government, though there are still some who bulk bill (no extra
cost to the individual)
Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, which provides partial payments for many medications with set
amounts being paid by the patient. The PBS provides extra funding for people with special needs,
such as: pensioners, concession cardholders and war veterans.
37
Who is Responsible??
Federal – Funding through taxation, National health programs
such as Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and
research
38
Health Services for You, Me, Everyone…
- Achieved by: Medicare, PBS, health promotion initiatives
allows all Australians basic level of health care, is diverse
and for everyone.

New Health Technologies and Their Impact
41
The Ultimate Showdown
Advantages Disadvantages
Medicare ✔ Broad range of high quality health care - Some important services only
✔ Choice of GP partially covered or not at all
✔ Affordable/ subsidized or bulk billing - Waiting lists
✔ Equitability: all have access - Limitations of choices due to
availability of covered services
42
43
Complementary and Alternative health services
44
44
Reasons for growth
- Traditional medicines not working for people
- Growth of research into these products – more trustworthy, and more evidence of their
effectiveness and worthwhile
- Development of regulatory bodies has increased the credibility e.g. Australian Natural Therapies
Association
- Important to note that in Australia, you do not need to be registered in order to practice some of
these alternate and complementary health services – important to be aware of when addressing
making informed consumer choices
- Considered a more holistic and more natural approach to health care and treatment
- Tertiary education and qualifications available to practice these alternate and complementary
health services

Decisions, Decisions…. How will you make the right one?
• Research: ask someone who has used it, ask someone qualified, research online,
checking procedures, success rates and risks. Research the person performing the
procedure, know costs and side effects. There is a lot of ambiguity and unknowns
revolving around alternative and complementary health services so research has to be
thorough. Ask the person questions such as: what qualifications do you have? Are your
registered? What evidence is there for this treatment? Are there side effect? If so are
they common? Will treatment affect other treatments I might or am receiving? – if they
are not able to answer accurately, they are not reliable sources.
• Useful resource: Australian Natural Therapist Association, which has a list of all
practitioners who are accredited and have signed a code of ethics.

Creating Supportive Environments
Providing care and support for people in various settings such as work
and school. Within environments supportive of positive health behaviour,
individuals are better able to make positive health decisions e.g. school
speed zones, not hat no play, no smoking areas
51
Strengthening Community Action
Community action is strengthened through communities being involved in setting priorities, making decisions,
planning strategies and implementing them to improve health outcomes. The process’ goal is to empower
communities, which improves outcomes of health promotion.
52
Reorienting Health Services
• Reorienting health services is about the shift towards a system that
promotes health, rather than curative services. Health services need to
support the needs of individuals and communities to promote health and
prevent illness, by considering social, physical, political and economic
environments in which individuals live. This requires greater health
research and professional education and training. The shift is to focus on
the needs of the entire individual, not just their injury, illness or disease.
• Shift from curing what’s “wrong” in an individual and rather focusing on
their holistic health before illness even begins

Holding Imaginary Hands … or Partnerships
Partnerships = Sharing resources
The Intersectoral Approach: Working together across sectors to improve health and
influence its determinants is often referred to as intersectoral action on health.

As a result of this collaborative approach and this program, Breast Cancer mortality
rates have decreased!
