| Etiological- and Risk Assessment
An assessment of the multiple etiologies is defined as an assessment of whether there is a probable correlation between the exposure and the identified disease or symptoms based on exposure and diagnosis. Risk assessment assesses the likelihood that a given exposure may result in a given health injury in the short or long term, or may affect the prognosis
After completion of the specialist medical training, the specialist must be able to:
|
| 1 |
Know how to use the general principles
for etiological risk assessment
|
- Assess risk objectives: Relative risk, Absolute risk, aetiological fraction
- Explain the fundamental mechanisms of action.
- Interpret and summarize results of in vitro experiments, animal experiments and human data in relation to the particular one issue
- Apply different acceptance criteria depending on the context, eg. for the following areas:
- Chemical influences
- Physical effects
- Ergonomic influences
- Biological influences
- Psychological Impact
|
| 2 |
Chemical Etiologicals and risk assessments
|
- Explain fundamentally toxicology
|
| 3 |
Physical, risk assessment
|
- From naturally occurring influences, eg. background radiation
|
| 4 |
Ergonomic etiological and risk assessment
|
- Explain the mechanism of action, including importance of work position,speed and power consumption at movements and the significance of inactivity
|
| 5 |
Biological etiologies´ risk assessment
|
- Know mechanism of action incl. Infections, toxic and allergic influence
- Interpreting controlled biological experiments, eg. climate chamber trials
|
| 6 |
Psychological risk assessment
|
- Explain the importance of known risk factors and interaction with individual resources and coping strategies
|
| 7 |
Cross-etiological risk assessments
|
- Evaluate multiple effects of for example shift work
- Evaluate multiple influences, eg. In the indoor climate or in pregnant women
|
| 8 |
Individual vulnerability
|
- Explain Individual Vulnerability: Genetics, including atopy, age, social Inequality, inactivity
|
| 9 |
Risk Communication
|
- Make risk communication under different risk perceptions
|
| 10 |
Risk Management
|
- Be able to make a plan for concrete risk management
|
