1 Disease Detectives Divisio C Natioal Sciece Olympiad May 25 i their li fetime. The survey also asked "Durig the past 12 moths, have you had a episode of asthma or a asthma attack?" Agai, iformatio o childre was collected from adult proxies. This evet icludes two problems. Problem! is a tie breaker. Problem : Disease Detectives Attack the Public Health Problem of Total Suggested time = 3 miutes Table 1 shows the results from NHS surveys from 198 through (3 pts) Usig the above iformatio, geerate a case defiitio for asthma. Aswer (3 poits[ay/}): is a chroic disease that affects the lugs, causig repeated episodes of wheezig, breathlessess, chest tightess, ad ighttime or early morig coughig. These episodes, or "asthma attacks" as they are ofte ca lled, occur whe the sides of the airways i the lugs become iflamed ad swolle. Muscles aroud the airways tighte, ad less air passes i ad out of the lugs. Excess mucus forms i the airways ad clogs them eve more. 2 1, 2.3 millio Americas had asthma, ad 12 millio had had a asthma attack i the previous year. More tha 5, Americas died from asthma each year from 1993 through The cost of asthma i the Uited States i 2 was estimated to be aroud 13.8 billio dollars. Although family history cotributes to susceptibility to asthma, the cause is ukow i most cases. Evirometal "triggers," such as cockroaches, dust mites, furry pets, mold, tobacco smoke, ad certai chemicals are thought to trigger asthma attacks amog sesitive idividuals. A case of asthma ca be defied as: a perso who has experieced repeated episodes of wheezig, breathlessess, chest tightess, ad ighttime or early morig coughig, OR a perso who has bee diagosed by a physicia as havig asthma.

Wier of 22 CDC Wor ld Day Poster Competitio Disease detectives have obtaied mu ch of their iformatio o the occurrece of asthma ad asthma attacks i the Uited States from the Natioa l Health terview Survey (NHS), which is based o a probabi lity sample of the coutry's civilia, oistitutioalized populatio (e.g., those ot i log term care or icarcerated). Before 1997, the NHS collected data o asthma from oe-sixth of the sampled household s. A kowledgeable adult family member, usually a paret, respoded as proxy for childre. People who aswered, "Yes," to the questio, "Durig the past 12 mo ths, have you had asthma?" were couted as havi g the co ditio. 1997, the NHS bega collectig iformatio o astt,,a from a radomly selected child ad a radomly selected adu lt i every househo ld. Those who aswered, "Yes," to the questio, "Has a doctor or othe r hea lth care professioa l ever told yo u that yo u had asthma?" were couted as havig had asthma '.:' Total Source: Maio OM et al., Surveillace for asthma-uited States, MMWR 22;5l(SSO):1-13 *Estimated; per 1, populatio. 2. (2pts) Defie prevalece. A11swer (2 poits [ay!}): PREVALENCE: The umber of cases of a give disease or other attribute that exists i a defied populatio at a specified time; OR PREVALENCE RA TE: The proportio of the populatio with a disease or other attribute i a defied popul atio at a specified time.

2 childre aged 18 years i their aalysis. Parets aswered for their childre regardig the presece of childhood asthma. Family icome was expressed as a ratio of actual family icome ad the icome threshold for the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The FPL is a dollar amout below which a family or household is cosidered to be i poverty. Table 2, o the ext page, shows some of the results of this aalysis. Table 2. Characteristics of sample childre, as reported by adult proxies, ad asthma prevalece by demographic cateory." (Both aswers are acceptable because the word "prevalece" is sometimes used iterchageably with "prevalece rate" ad was probably what should have bee asked i this questio.) 3. Refer to the data i Table!. a. (2pts) Explai the differece betwee the estimated prevalece of asthma before 1997 ad the umber of people rep1tig a episode of asthma or a asthma attack durig the precedig 12 moths durig 1997 ad later. These are two differet measures. Betwee 198 ad 1996, the survey described the respodets' report of havig asthma durig the previous 12 moths - the self-reported asthma prevalece durig the precedig 12 moths. After 1997, the survey described episodes of asthma or asthma attack amog the respodets durig the precedig 12 moths, ot the prevalece. So, prior to 1997, this table shows asthma prevalece; durig ad after 1997, it shows attacks. b. (3 pts) Accordig to the 1999 NHS data provided i table, which groups have the greatest prevalece of asthma? Total sample (N=l4,244) Lifetime asthma prevalece Weighted percet Weighted percet No-Hispaic white 65.2 i 1.2 Demographics Child race/ethicity.3 No-Hispaic black Hispaic l Other The groups with the greatest asthma prevalece caot be ascertaied. Sice may with asthma have their symptoms uder cotrol, there may be some who have asthma but do't have attacks. 1999, the table shows oly attacks, ot how may had asthma i the precedig 12 moths Aswer (3 poits [ay ]): -3 (") 9" rj'j.. 1 Male Female Family icome-to-fpl ratio. The groups with the greatest (apparet) asthma prevalece are: o Blacks o Females o 5-14 year olds, OR Although blacks, females, ad 5-14 year olds appear to have higher prevalece, it is ot possible to ascertai which groups have the greatest prevalece without kowig the results of sigificace tests FPL : 2 FPL Referece group i- Discuss: would't be able to say which group is higher i race or age because the sigificace test is based o all the categories of race ad all the categories of age.

Aswer (2 poits [ay!]): prevalece did ot vary sigificatly by icome-to-fpl-ratio; the other groups are ot sigificatly differet from the referece group; OR There is a suggestio of a relatioship betwee asthma prevalece ad family icome, but it is ot statistically sigificat. There is o statistically sigificat differece betwee Hispaics ad o-hispaic whites i the lifetime prevalece of asthma. the secod poverty level, Hispaic ethicity may be protective. 8. (6 pts) Disease detectives sometimes use race ad ethicity as a surrogate for socioecoomic status. Race ad ethicity are geerally self-reported variables ad askig people about their race or ethicity is cosidered a less sesitive issue tha askig about their icome or educatioal level. Give two reasos that self-reported race or ethicity may ot be a valid idicator of social ecoomic status. Aswer (6 poits, 3 per reaso [ay 2}): The associatio betwee race/ethicity ad SES is ot perfect. Racial groups are ot homogeeous with respect to culture or SES. There are o categories for people of mixed racial/ethic backgrouds which forces them ito artificial groups. People may chage their reported race/ethicity depedig o circumstaces. Disease detectives coducted a stratified aalysis, comparig the prevalece of lifetime asthma amog racial/ethic groups for the various levels of family icome-to-fpl ratios ad expressig the results as odds ratios (ORs) after adjustmet for a umber of sociodemographic variables. Results are show i Table 3. Table 3. Associatio of race/ethicity with lifetime asthma prevalece, by icome-to-fpl ratio FPL FPL 2FPL No-Hispaic black 1.99 (1.9, 3.64) 1.9 (.7,1.7) 1.23 (.89, 1.71) 1.

Pblc Hlth Rpts 25; 12: (2 pts) Explai how the data from No-Hispaic whites was used i these aalyses? Aswer (2 poits, per elemet): ;:5 \ Large scale reductios i air pollutio are difficult to implemet ad to study over a short period of time. 1996, however, the teratioal Olympic Games held i Atlata offered a excellet opportuity for this type of study. Adjusted ORs (95% Cl).5 FPL ****** The No-Hispaic white group was used as a referece or compariso group because each of the other two groups was compared to the No-Hispaic whites. The evet brought more tha millio visitors to the city. To reduce traffic, busiesses ad state ad local gc1vemmets authorized a umber of chages ad programs. These icluded icreasig public trasportatio, approvig alterative work hours ad telecommutig, ad restrictig traffic. Most of the veues were accessible by public trasportatio, ad may residets took time from work to atted the games. Others left tow or stayed home to avoid the crowds. Disease detectives suspected that these chages may have improved air quality eough to reduce asthma attacks amog.:hildre i the area. Usig a ecologic study desig, ivestigators compared a umber of variables durig the 17 days of the games with those durig 4-week periods before ad after the games. The primary variables studied were the umber of citywide hospitalizatios, acute care visits, ad urget care ceter visits for asthma ad o-asthma coditios amog childre 1 to 16 years of age i the fi ve cetral couties of metropolita Atlata. O Table 3 was a multivariate aalysis ad cotrolled for a umber of factors (asthma, icome-to-fpl ratio, race/ethicity). Table 2 was a bivariate aalysis ad oly looked at two variables at a time, oe of which was asthma.,-...._. a. (2 pts) What is the group used as the uit of aalysis i this study?

(4 pts) Describe two limitatios to ecologic studies i compariso with case-cotrol, cohort, or prospective studies. 6 Childre 1-16 years of age i the 5 cetral couties of metropolita Atlata are used as the uit of aalysis. Oly i the.5 icome-to-fpl ratio was the prevalece of asthma for o-hispaic black childre higher tha the prevalece for o-hispaic white childre whe cotrollig for sociodemographic variables. Except for the very lowest ratios oficomt::-to-fpl (the poorest group), there is o statistically sigificat differece betwee o-hispaic blacks ad o-hispaic whites i the lifetime prevalece of asthma. 9. ecologic studies, groups, rather tha idividuals, are used as the uit of aalysis. Because groups are usually defied i tes of geographic areas i which mortality or icidece data are available, ecologic studies ca make use of existig data ad be coducted quickly ad iexpesively. 7. (6 pts) What two coclusios do you draw from the results i Table 3 about the relatioships betwee race/ethicity ad fami ly icome ad childhood asthma? Aswer (6 poits, 3 per coclusio [ay 2}):. Data were obtaied from a variety of sources icludig Georgia's Medicaid claims fi le, the patiet database of a health maiteace orgaizatio, computerized emergecy departmet records from two of Atlata's three pediatric hospitals, ad the Georgia Hospital Discharge Database. 6. (4 pts) How does Table 3 differ from Table 2? Aswer (4 poits): w. 7
4 -1 1. Ecologic studies look at group level effects while the other desigs look at idividual level effects, so it is ot possible to evaluate the relatioship betwee idividual exposures ad risks. Thus, there is a possibility of makig a ecological fallacy (a ecological fallacy is a error of reasoig that ca occur because group differeces may be the result of somethig urelated to the exposure). Data o exposure ad outcome geerally come from secodary sources that have bee collected for other purposes, meaig that the data is sometimes ot ideal for testig a give hypothesis. Usig summary measures for exposure or outcome may lead to imprecise or ustable associatios if a high degree of variability exists withi the ecological uits beig studied. ecologic studies it is difficult to cotrol for potetial cofouders because data o potetial co fouders is ofte uavailable or of icosistet quality. t may be impossible to establish a correct temporal sequece betwee exposure ad outcome due to limited data. (6 pts) Give three examples of pediatric asthma evets that might ot be foud i the above datasets. Weekday morig rush hour traffic couts decreased 22.5%. Weekday total 24-hour traffic rates decreased 2.8%. Weeked morig rush hour traffic rates decreased 9.7%. Use of public trasportatio icreased 217%. Table 4.

List two reasoable hypotheses that may explai why the secod group of passegers had so may cases of AGE. Recommeded time: 2 miutes (32 Poits Possible) Backgroud Cruise ship outbreaks demostrate how quickly ad easily some microbes, particularly viruses, ca be trasmitted from perso to perso i a closed eviromet. The result ca be a very large outbreak i the shipboard populatio. 22, CDC's Vessel Saitatio Program oted a sigificat icrease i acute gastroeteritis (AGE) of viral origi. The pricipal pathoges were oroviruses (i.e., Norwalk-like viruses or NL V). NL V is a well-documeted aget of AGE that is resposible for more tha 23 millio cases each year. 1.
