Chapter 4 Communicable and Noncommunicable Diseases: Prevention and Control of Diseases and Health Conditions

Chapter Objectives (1 of 2) After studying this chapter, you will be able to: Explain the differences between communicable (infectious) and noncommunicable (noninfectious) diseases and between acute and chronic diseases and provide examples of each. Describe and explain communicable and multicausation disease models. Explain how communicable diseases are transmitted in a community using the “chain of infection” model and use a specific communicable disease to illustrate your explanation. Explain why noncommunicable diseases are a community and public health concern and provide some examples of important noncommunicable diseases. Explain the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of disease and provide examples of each.

Chapter Objectives (2 of 2) List and explain the various criteria that communities might use to prioritize their health problems in preparation for the allocation of prevention and control resources. List and discuss important measures for preventing and controlling the spread of communicable diseases in a community. List and discuss approaches to noncommunicable disease control in the community. Define and explain the purpose and importance of health screenings. Outline a chronic, noncommunicable disease control program that includes primary, secondary, and tertiary disease prevention components.

Introduction Diseases and other health conditions are classified in several meaningful ways Classification can lead to prevention and control strategies

Classification of Diseases and Health Problems In community health, diseases are usually classified as: Acute or chronic (<3 or >3 months) Communicable or noncommunicable

Communicable versus Noncommunicable Diseases Communicable (infectious) diseases – those diseases for which biological agents or their products are the cause and that are transmissible from one individual to another Noncommunicable (noninfectious) diseases – those illnesses that cannot be transmitted from one person to another Identifying cause is difficult because many factors can contribute

Acute versus Chronic Diseases and Illnesses Diseases classified by duration of symptoms Acute – diseases in which peak severity of symptoms occurs and subsides within 3 months Can be communicable or noncommunicable Chronic – diseases or conditions in which symptoms continue longer than 3 months

Communicable Diseases Infectivity: ability of a biological agent to enter and grow in the host Agent: cause of disease or health problem Host: susceptible person or organism invaded by an infectious agent Environment: factors that inhibit or promote disease transmission Pathogenicity: capability of a communicable agent to cause disease in a susceptible host

Biological Agents of Disease

Communicable Disease Model

Chain of Infection (1 of 3) Step-by-step model to conceptualize the transmission of a communicable disease from its source to a susceptible host

Chain of Infection (2 of 3) Pathogen: disease-causing agent (virus, bacterium, etc.) Reservoir: favorable environment for infectious agent to live and grow (human, animal, etc.) Portal of exit: path by which agent leaves host Transmission: how pathogens are passed from reservoir to next host Portal of entry: where agent enters susceptible host New host: susceptible to new infection being established

Chain of Infection (3 of 3) Zoonoses – diseases for which the reservoir resides in animal populations Anthroponoses – diseases for which humans are the only known reservoir

Modes of Transmission Direct transmission – immediate transfer of disease agent between infected and susceptible individuals Touching, biting, kissing, sexual intercourse Indirect transmission – transmission involving an intermediate step Airborne, vehicleborne, vectorborne, biological Vehicles – nonliving objects by which agents are transferred to susceptible host

Chain of Infection Example Agent (cold virus), leaves reservoir (throat of infected person), when host sneezes (portal of exit: nose and mouth). Direct transmission (saliva droplets) enter respiratory tract of susceptible host at close range (portal of entry: mouth). New infection possibly established. If one link is missing, chain is broken.

Noncommunicable Diseases Nation’s leading causes of death Heart disease, stroke, cancer Complex etiologies (causes) Multicausation disease model Host: inalterable, unique genetic endowment Personality, beliefs, behavioral choices: impact host Complex environment: exposes host to risk factors

Multicausation Disease Model

Noncommunicable Diseases Diseases of the heart and blood vessels Coronary heart disease Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) Malignant neoplasms (cancer) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Diabetes mellitus Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis

Prioritizing Prevention and Control Efforts Criteria used to judge importance of disease to a community Number of people who will die from a disease Leading causes of death Number of years of potential life lost Captures issues affiliated with various groups Economic costs associated with disease Money spent at various levels of government; ex: alcohol and other drugs

Prevention, Intervention, Control, and Eradication of Diseases Prevention: planning for and taking action to prevent or forestall onset of disease or health problem Intervention: effort to control disease in progress; taking action during an event Control - containment of a disease; prevention and intervention measures Eradication: total elimination of disease from human population

Levels of Prevention Primary prevention Secondary prevention Forestall onset of illness or injury during prepathogenesis period Secondary prevention Early diagnosis and prompt treatment before disease becomes advanced and disability severe Tertiary prevention Aimed at rehabilitation following significant pathogenesis; retrain, reeducate, rehabilitate

Primary Prevention of Communicable Diseases Strategies at each link in chain of infection Individuals Hand washing, using condoms, properly cooking food Communities Chlorinating water supply, inspecting restaurants, immunization programs for all citizens, vector control, solid waste disposal

Immunity Important component of primary prevention Active immunity - occurs when exposure to a disease-causing organism prompts the immune system to develop antibodies against that disease Passive immunity - occurs when a person receives antibodies against a disease rather than their immune system producing them

Secondary Prevention of Communicable Diseases Individuals Self-diagnosis, self-treatment with home remedies Antibiotics prescribed by a physician Communities Controlling or limiting extent of an epidemic Carefully maintaining records; investigating cases Isolation, quarantine, disinfection

Tertiary Prevention of Communicable Diseases Individuals Recovery to full health after infection; return to normal activity Communities Preventing recurrence of epidemics Removal, embalming, burial of dead Reapplication of primary and secondary measures

Primary Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases Individuals Education and knowledge about health and disease prevention, eating properly, adequate exercise, driving safely Communities Adequate food and energy supplies, efficient community services, opportunities for education, employment, and housing

Secondary Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases Individuals Personal screenings (mammogram, pap test, PSA test), regular medical and dental checkups, pursuit of diagnosis and prompt treatment Communities Provision of mass screenings for chronic diseases, case-finding measures, provision of adequate health personnel, equipment, and facilities

Tertiary Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases Individuals Significant behavioral or lifestyle changes, adherence to prescribed medications, following rehabilitation requirements after surgery Communities Adequate emergency medical personnel and services: hospitals, surgeons, nurses, ambulance services

Discussion Questions Which components of the Multicausation Disease Model can communities most effectively impact? Which level of prevention is most important for better community health outcomes and why? Who plays a more significant role in preventing diseases, individuals or communities?
