When considering whether an increase in the distribution of a disease is real or artifactual, which question would epidemiologists be likely to ask?
A. Has there been an increased interest in identifying the disease?
B. Have there been advances in the ability to identify the disease?
C. All of these answers are correct.
D. Did the disease’s definition change before the change in distribution?

Respuesta :

Answer:

All of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

Epidemiologists studies the disease in a particular population. They are concern with the type of disease, disease outbreak, causes and symptoms of the disease.

The real or artifactual disease can be distinguished by epidemiologists by increased interest in identifying the disease. The advances in the ability to identify the disease and change in the disease’s definition before the change in distribution also determines whether disease is real or artifactual.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
