Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Can somebody give an example of a case definition? I have no idea where to start when writing one.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Hi Guys!
I am really trying to improve at DD and was wondering if you give me all your sources that really helped you on the tests. I also was wondering what the best way to reformat my cheat sheet is. Thanks!

Cheat sheet: Bullet points.
Go to Soinc.org--> B/C Events--> C Events--> Disease Detectives, then use the stuff there.

There's a forum about cheat sheets under "General Competition."scienceenerd101 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 4:10 pm Hi Guys!

As for sources, I've never competed in disease but the CDC textbook was really helpful when I was taking notes(if you haven't done this already).

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Case Definitions are pretty simple: they essentially just ask for the place, person, time, and clinical information of an outbreak (place-- where; person-- who is the population/people that is affected; time-- date of first case to last case; clinical info-- symptoms of the disease and stuff).WangwithaTang wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 9:46 pm Can somebody give an example of a case definition?

Usually, they aren't very lengthy. Listing all this information concisely is the way I typically do a case definition.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
You can also have hierarchical case definitions - suspect, probable, confirmed. Usually suspect may just have signs or symptoms, probables have those plus some epi linkage and/or nondefinitive lab result while confirmed have a lab test to support

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
That's a good way to start, but the 3 handouts themselves won't cover all the information that you should know.Dsrivastava wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 8:58 am Cheat sheet: Bullet points.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
For this challenge i recommend that you study your definitions. In the 2020 science Olympiad Disease Detectives challenge. There was a lot of definitions asking what they meant . i highly recommend to study your definitions. there was very few diseases on the test. Also recommend to learn or remember how to take percentages. GOOD LUCK !!!
