| In this lecture, I try to give some sense of what is involved in investigating outbreaks in the public health sector. I use foodborne outbreaks as examples and present two hypothetical outbreaks based my 8 years experience as health officer in a large county health department. I describe how data from epidemiologic and laboratory studies are linked in outbreak investigations. I conclude with list of steps taken in a generalized outbreak investigation. |
