Types of Skewness

12.5K
If the frequency distribution of a data set is more inclined towards smaller or larger values, the distribution is said to be skewed. If data values are skewed to the right, then the distribution is called positively skewed. Conversely, if the plot is skewed to the left, the distribution is called negatively skewed.
For instance, in the middle of a pandemic, the geographical distribution of vaccine coverage may be positively skewed towards populations in the global north countries. However,...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

502
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

177
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

593
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Causality in Epidemiology01:21

Causality in Epidemiology

752
Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted existing health disparities.
  • Racial and ethnic minority groups experienced disproportionately negative impacts from the pandemic.
  • Lower full vaccination rates were observed in these same populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the factors contributing to COVID-19 vaccine inequities.
  • To discuss strategies for improving vaccine access and reducing hesitancy among minority groups.

Main Methods:

  • This study reviews existing literature and data on COVID-19 vaccine uptake among racial and ethnic minorities.
  • Analysis focuses on identifying key barriers related to vaccine hesitancy and access.
  • Discussion includes evidence-based strategies for intervention.

Main Results:

  • Vaccine hesitancy is a significant barrier to achieving high vaccination rates in minority populations.
  • Limited vaccine access, including logistical and geographical challenges, further exacerbates inequities.
  • A combination of targeted outreach and community-based interventions is needed.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing vaccine hesitancy and improving vaccine access are critical for mitigating COVID-19 disparities.
  • Culturally sensitive communication and community engagement are essential for building trust.
  • Equitable vaccine distribution requires a multi-faceted approach tailored to specific community needs.
