Disease Occurrence, Distribution, and Pattern VOCAB BINGO - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Prevalence cases: all cases during a given period of time
  2. Incidence cases: new cases during a given time period
  3. prevalence rate: is the proportion of persons in a population who have a particuar disease or attribute at a specified point in time or over a specified period of time.
  4. rate: a measure of the frequency with which an event occurs in a defined population over a specified period of time.
  5. incidence rate: the ratio of the number of cases to the total time the population is at risk of disease
  6. Disease frequency: the number of cases that occur over a given time period.
  7. ratio scale: a measurement scale consisting of quantitative categories who values are interval with a true zero point
  8. Morbidity rate: the sickness rate, the number of people who are sick or have a disease compared with the number who are well
  9. Birth rate: calculated by dividing the number of live births during a specified time period by the population from which the births occurred typically expressed as the number of live births per 1000 people.
  10. rate ratio: a measure of association that quantifies the relationship between an exposure and a health outcome from an epidemiological study, calculated as the ratio of incidence rate or mortality rates of two groups.
  11. trend: movement or change in frequency over time, usually upwards or downwards.
  12. Confidence interval: a range of values for a measure constructed so that the range has specified probability of including the true value of the measure.
  13. attack rate: proportion of population that develops illness
  14. crude mortality rate: a mortality rate from all causes of death for an entire population, without adjustment
  15. infectivity: the ability of an infectious agent to cause infection, measured as the proportion of people exposed to an infectious agent who become infected
  16. case fatality rate: proportion of people with a disease who die from it.
  17. Mortality rate: the ratio of the total number of deaths to the total population
  18. Contact: exposure to a source of an infection; a person who has been exposed
  19. infant mortality rate: number of deaths among infants ages 0-1 year during a specified time period div ided by the number of live births in the same time period
  20. cause-specific death rate: the mortality rate from a specified cause for a population
  21. necessary cause: a factor that must be present for a disease or other health problem to occur
  22. cohort: well-defined group of persons who have had a common experience or exposure and are then followed up, as in a cohort study or prospective study, to determine the incidence of new disease or health events.
  23. point prevalence: the amount of a particular disease, chronic condition, or type of injury present among a population at a single point in time.
  24. case: a person in a population with a particular disease, disorder, or condition that is being investigated
