The first of two sessions on bioterrorism and epidemiology explores a range of topics. The creation of the World Trade Center Health Registry will be examined. The use of syndromic surveillance data from multiple emergency departments to detect disease outbreaks, racial/ethnic differences in trust of public health officials to respond fairly after a bioterrorism event, and the epidemiology of terror related injuries will be also be discussed. | |||
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Describe the purpose and scope of sample building and the World Trade Center Health Registry. 2. Articulate factors within racial/ethnic groups that are associated with lower trust of public health to respond fairly to bioterrorism. 3. Identify the range of uses for early-detection syndromic surveillance systems in local health departments. 4. Discuss debate and identify candidate syndromes and data gathering methods for syndromic surveillance. | |||
