Describe the folk’s screening method and its benefits for global health
What creative new way are folks able to detect tuberculosis? Describe the folk’s screening method and its benefits for global health.
There was a food poisoning outbreak on April 1, 2018, at the City Z Food Safety Conference (how ironic). There were 1,000 people registered for the conference with luncheon, 100 volunteers to host attendees and 50 people who served the luncheon during the conference. Except for the 50 people who served the food, all of the participants and volunteers ate the food from the luncheon at the conference on April 1, 2018.
After an initial outbreak of food poisoning is reported, an epidemiologist sends surveys to all people at risk to investigate the cause. However, only 900 people among those at risk answer the survey. After analysis of 900 survey results, the epidemiologist concludes that the most suspected foods in the outbreak are pepperoni pizza and meatball spaghetti. What is the overall attack rate for those who ate meatball spaghetti? Use the following table to answer the question.
| # of People who Developed the Case Definition of Symptoms | # of People who Ate the Food | |
| Pepperoni Pizza Only | 113 | 275 |
| Meatball Spaghetti Only | 62 | 375 |
| Both Pepperoni Pizza & Meatball Spaghetti | 57 | 150 |
| Neither Pepperoni Pizza nor Meatball Spaghetti | 10 | 100 |
