    The Availability Heuristic

    A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Giardiasis transmission is increasingly linked to day care settings.
    • An Outremont day care center experienced a Giardia lamblia outbreak.
    • 82 individuals were assessed, with 19 confirmed cases within the center and 3 in associated families.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate a Giardia lamblia outbreak in a day care center.
    • To identify the transmission patterns and characteristics of the outbreak.
    • To recommend control measures for preventing future Giardiasis spread in similar environments.

    Summary:

    • A systematic stool examination identified 19 Giardia lamblia infections among 82 individuals at risk, plus 3 family cases.
    • A significant finding was that 68% of infected individuals were asymptomatic, complicating detection.

  • Evidence strongly suggests person-to-person transmission within the day care and into family units.

    • Impact:

    • The systematic treatment of identified carriers appears to have successfully controlled the epidemic.
    • The findings underscore the importance of implementing specific control strategies for Giardia lamblia in day care facilities.
    • Recommendations are made for proactive Giardiasis prevention and management in child care settings based on epidemiological data.
