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??

Collecting statistics about populations and their health


allows identification of health issues, to implement health
promotion to improve Australia’s health

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

• Morbidity rate: level of disease/injury/illness


• 🡪 Prevalence: no# cases
• 🡪 Incidence: no# new cases

• Mortality rate: number of deaths in a given time


e.g. Mortality rate of injuries is decreasing

• Infant mortality rate: number of deaths in infants <1


year old, per 1000 births
e.g. Decreasing in Australia but higher in Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

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.

11
Epidemiology

What can epidemiology tell us?


• Basic health status and major causes of disease
• Inequities between groups by comparing results
• Identify areas of priority
• Evaluate effectiveness of treatments

Who uses these measures?


• Everyone!
• Measures are used to inform decision making of many groups including:
Government, NGO’s, manufacturers of health products or services and
individuals.

12
Epidemiology

Do they measure everything about health status? i.e


what are the limitations?

• Obtaining data is difficult in emergency situations 🡪 by the time valid


and reliable data is collected and analysed, the conclusions for a
course of action may already be too late.

• Objective (doesn’t consider quality of life) - doesn’t consider a holistic


view of determinants of health; very numerical data

• Observational (doesn’t tell us why certain trends are occurring,


however does give good insight).

• Health workers in remote communities often lack the resources to


conduct adequate data collection and lack of access may also present
difficulties in communicating these data in a timely manner.

13
14
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.

15
Social Justice Principles
SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENTS

• Ensuring all Australians are supported in


their right to access services and be
healthy.
• e.g. environments need to support health
(discussed later in the topic)

Social Justice Principles are the influencers and


goals of identifying health priorities. If social
justice not attained within a health issue = we
want to prioritise it!

16
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

POTENTIAL FOR PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION


It is much more efficient and cost effective to prevent and intervene with illness, than it is to
cure and treat diseases.

Prevention: act of stopping a disease from occurring all together


e.g. immunisation programs to prevent hepatitis b
e.g. campaigns for sun safety to prevent melanoma
e.g. good diet and exercise to prevent obesity

Intervention: act of interrupting a disease and stopping it from worsening


e.g. regular mammograms to detect breast cancer early and intervene with the disease
process
e.g. skin checks

18
COSTS : DIRECT AND INDIRECT

Direct (about the Indirect (about the person)


disease) - loss of income
- Financial costs to - Absent from job – having to
diagnose, treat and care. find replacement
- Emotional

Community: DIRECT – treatment and caring costs billions of dollars.


INDIRECT – finding replacements in workplaces.

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

Sociocultural Socioeconomic Environmental

• 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

Responsible for own Communities, elders and Creating policy


health leaders involved in “Close Funding
the Gap” programs. Research
- Access information
- Lead healthy AIME - tutoring and
lifestyle education for Aboriginal
- Participating in and Torres Strait Islanders
health promotion to address education
inequities

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

CVDs account for the second largest burden of disease

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)

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD):

• 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

• Growing up in family who smoke


• Peer pressure to smoke/ easy to eat poorly
• Men more likely to ignore symptoms

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

Modifiable Risk Factors Non-Modifiable Risk Factors Protective factors

- Smoking - Age Opposite of modifiable risk


- High salt and fat diet - Hereditary factors
- Overweight - Gender - Healthy diet, low in salt and fat
- Sedentary lifestyle - Regular exercise
- Hypertension (high blood - Not smoking/quitting
pressure) - Managing stress

Groups at Risk
• Smokers • People with high blood pressure and high cholesterol
• Overweight/ Obese • Males
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait • Elderly

Islanders • Socioeconomically disadvantaged

30
31
Healthy Ageing

Australia’s population is growing and ageing (decreased birth rate


and increased life expectancy) - increased prevalence of chronic
disease (elderly are more susceptible) and increased demand for
health services.

It is a process that includes behaviour and choices that positively


affect health and reduce risk factors for chronic disease.

= economic growth – stay in workforce longer


= decreased strain on health services by elderly
= able to train young entrants to workforce
= able to volunteer and take care of others

32
33
Demand for Health Services and Incremental Effects

• Growing and ageing population → increased


population with chronic disease → increased
demand on health services

• Increased number living in aged care


• Increased demand for facilities and aged care
facilities = requirement of more workforce training
and recruitment in these areas

• Overall, this leads to higher costs to the healthcare


system, as well as risks demanding more services
than Australia can currently provide for.

34
Availability of Carers and Volunteers

- Carer: person providing informal assistance – usually family


member or friend. Sometimes can be formal, hired and paid.
- Carers NSW
- Family members/friends
- Carers in Nursing Homes

- Volunteer: member of community who offers their services to others


who need it (unpaid)
- Anglicare
- Nursing on wheels
- Alzheimer's Australia

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)

Public (screenings, immunisations)


Specialised (mental, reproductive, skin, nursing homes etc.)

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

State – provision of health public hospitals, development of health


promotion activities e.g. overseeing immunisation, regulation
monitoring

Local – implementation of health promotion activities e.g.


immunisations, sporting competitions, responsible for community
hygiene and waste removal

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.

…However, there are some barriers to equity:


• Cost – some after-hours walk-in expenses not covered
• Long waiting periods due to decreased availability of health workers and increased demand of
health services
• Language, religion, culture and geographic location hinder equitable access, TV access to
promotion initiatives.
• Some specialists such as physio, chiro, dentists may not be covered under public healthcare
system – inequity of access due to costs
• Mention the difference between public and private hospitals: private hospitals have no waiting
time, choice of room, and choice of doctor
• To overcome: Medicare local after-hours walk-in clinics, supporting mobile GP’s

39
$$$ Spent on Healthcare and Health Promotion

Prevention is cheaper and more effective than cure as it targets risk


factors and behaviours by promoting health rather than treating with
expensive technologies, procedures and medications.
- Prevention targets a wide range of people whereas treatment
focuses on the one person.
- However, health promotion does not take immediate effect, and has
long term impacts, hence there is hesitation to reallocate funds from
health care toward health promotion.

e.g. tobacco initiatives, tax increase and policies Vs lung transplant.

40
New Health Technologies and Their Impact

+ improves early detection, prevention and thus life expectancy


and quality of life, advances in treatment and reduces recovery
time and are less invasive

- Expensive, increase health care expenditure and long terms


effects unknown

e.g. MRI, vaccination, keyhole surgery, lasers, screenings

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

Private ✔ Access to ancillary benefits (physio, - Costly


Health dentist, optical) not covered by Medicare - Premiums must be paid regardless
Insurance ✔ Superior comfort in surgery and wards of level of use
✔ Choice of surgeon - Out of pocket expenses may still
✔ Elective surgeries with smaller waiting list occur
✔ Choice of public or private hospital care
✔ Rebates given by government

Complementary and Alternative health services

Complementary: A health service sought by a person


in addition to western/ traditional medical treatment

Alternative: A health service utilised instead of


traditional medical attention/treatment.

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

46
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.

• After selecting, it is important to reassess the effectiveness and determine if it is


meeting your needs.

• Useful resource: Australian Natural Therapist Association, which has a list of all
practitioners who are accredited and have signed a code of ethics.

C – CRAP – creating supportive environments
S – SMELLS – strengthening community action
R – REALLY – reorienting health services
B – BAD – building healthy public policy.

49
Developing Personal Skills

Requires the provision of information, education and life skill


development. This increases options and control for individuals
over their own health. It is essential to equip people for lifelong
learning and to develop skills for coping with ill health. This is
done through school, home, and community settings.

Education and development of knowledge and skills, aimed at


positively modifying behaviors and empowering individuals to
make informed decisions e.g. PDHPE, kids alive do the five “teach
your kids to swim”

50
Creating Supportive Environments

There is a link between people’s health and their environment, requiring


a socioecological approach to health. Reciprocal maintenance of
environments is the guiding principle. Work and leisure should promote
health, not demote it. Thus, health promotion should create safe working
environments that are enjoyable, assess health impacts of developing
infrastructure (buildings, energy etc), and protect natural and built
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.

Encouraging communities to increase participation in decisions, planning and implementing strategies to


improve health e.g. mother and babies groups, walking groups, self help groups such as alcohols anonymous

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

Refocusing health services toward prevention and health promotion rather


than just ‘cure’. E.g. free screenings for skin and breast cancer, encouraging
cessation of smoking

53
Building Healthy Public Policy

Policy development at all levels seeks to promote


health. It includes: legislation, taxation, and
organizational change. They are made to foster
equity and ensures safer and healthier goods and
services, healthier public services, and cleaner
more enjoyable environments. Policies need to
identify obstacles to health and seek to remove
them, making the healthier choice the easiest one.

Encouraging policy makers to incorporate health


into all policy and legislations. E.g. RBT
legislations, kids alive do the five “ fence the pool”
and smoking bans, taxation on cigarettes

54
LEVELS OF RESPONSIBILITY
Developing Personal Skills
Governments Communities Individuals
Create policies and fund education Run education and training Participate and take own

57
Holding Imaginary Hands … or Partnerships
Partnerships = Sharing resources

- Shared responsibility = more time efficient for health promotion initiatives


- Increases access to expertise and resources
- Community and NGO involvement means policy and health promotion will be targeting
actual needs of population
- Governments provide research and funding
- Individuals such as stakeholders invest money but also partake in initiatives,
underpinning success, evaluation and future improvements

The Intersectoral Approach: Working together across sectors to improve health and
influence its determinants is often referred to as intersectoral action on health.
