18. Overview and Conclusion A look backward on what has been covered and forward towards where the field is going. What is an "epidemiologic perspective"? Population orientation – increasingly, a global orientation Problem-oriented / multidisciplinary Breadth/challenge – in principle can address any health-related problem – or any problem? Prevention emphasis Sees society as the organism – interconnectedness among all facets Epidemiology "successes" and "not-yet-successes" Cholera - John Snow Pellagra - Joseph Goldberger Rubella and birth defects - Gregg Fluoride and dental caries Cigarette smoking and lung cancer Blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, fitness and CHD/CVD Legionnaire's disease Breast cancer Prostate cancer Pancreatic cancer Adolescent pregnancy Sexually transmitted diseases HIV/AIDS Drug use Violence Environmental protection _____________________________________________________________________________________________ www.sph.unc.edu/courses/EPID168, © Victor J.
