James Lind
Edward Jenner
Ignaz Semmelweis
John Snow
Choose three of the individuals from your research. In a 1,000-1,250 word paper,
describe the epidemiological advancements that were influenced by these
individuals. Include the following:
Describe the disease and the event. Using descriptive epidemiology, discuss
how common the disease was at the time, who was infected, when it
occurred (time of year or season), and the mode of transmission. If the
individual is not associated with a specific disease, discuss a significant
disease happening during that period.
Discuss how the individuals influenced or advanced epidemiological
methods and the process they used to describe and control disease. Discuss
how their contributions helped to inform the definition of epidemiology.
Consider whether they used qualitative, quantitative, or both types of data
collection methods, and the approach they used to test their hypotheses.
Discuss how similar epidemiological methods have been used to understand
one current public health issue (not one for each individual). Discuss the key
research studies used to understand the risk factors associated with the
problem or disease. Two potential examples include lung cancer (Doll and
Hill, 1950) or cardiovascular disease and the Framingham Heart Study
(Drawber, Meadors, & Moore, 1950; Kannel, 2000).
