Hypersensitivity Quizzes & Trivia

This quiz titled 'Introduction to Research - Test 2' assesses knowledge on epidemiological concepts such as prevalence, sensitivity, and specificity, using practical examples like HIV and dementia screening... see moretests. It's designed for learners interested in medical research fundamentals. see less

2. Sensitivity is the ability of a test to correctly identify those who have the disease, while specificity is its ability to identify those who don't have the disease.

Explanation

This statement is true because sensitivity refers to the test's ability to correctly identify individuals who have the disease, meaning it has a low rate of false negatives. On the other hand, specificity refers to the test's ability to correctly identify individuals who do not have the disease, meaning it has a low rate of false positives. So, sensitivity and specificity are both important measures of a test's accuracy in diagnosing a disease.

3. Permitting examination of past trends is an advantage of which data collection techniques?

Explanation

Using available information allows for the examination of past trends because it involves gathering and analyzing existing data that has already been collected. This can include data from various sources such as research studies, surveys, reports, and databases. By utilizing available information, researchers can identify patterns, trends, and relationships over time, which can provide valuable insights and inform decision-making processes.
