etc? Is it an infectious and/or chronic disease? If so what is the agent, its reservoir, mode of transmission

etc.

3.What is the descriptive epidemiology of the disease? How does the disease vary by aspects of person?

(age, race and sex), place (geography) and time?

4.What is the analytic epidemiology of the disease? What epidemiological studies have been done to

characterize risk factors for the disease? Are there modifiable risk factors (e.g. smoking, diet) or non-

modifiable risk factors (e.g. Genetics)? What are the relative risks/odds ratios for these risk factors in

terms of direction and magnitude? Have previous studies evaluated confounding and/or effect

modification? Are previous findings statistically significant? Critically review this literature.

5.Are there effective screening tests for the disease? What are the sensitivity and specificity of these

screening tests? What is the positive predictive value?
