Principles of Public Health Peter N. Tabbot 10:832:232, Sect. B6:80645 973-983-2848 Summer 2012 ptabbot@aol.com T, TH 6:00 -9:40 Office hours by appointment 5/29/11 – 7/5/11 Scott Hall Room 202 Public Health Paper: Epidemiology As learned in class, epidemiology is at the very heart of public health and prevention. Public health professionals use epidemiological studies to verify connections between exposures and disease, and often derive information that proves critical in the prevention of illness and death. In performing or examining epidemiological studies, one must grapple with the facts and study design to determine whether the study was victim to potentially significant flaws, thereby making it less effective in proving a hypothesis. During our epidemiology lecture, we discussed the main differences between several types of studies (i.e., case control, cohort, clinical trial, cross-sectional). We also reviewed factors like confounding, biases, chance and causation criteria – potential problems that may skew information in a study and, in fact, could invalidate its results. Your assignment will be a review of an epidemiological study for its characteristics and validity, and discussion of possible flaws in study design that may have contributed to the study’s findings, or lack thereof. In general, consider the comparability among subject groups, methods used, any errors that may have been committed, and the magnitude of the effect caused by the error. To complete the assignment, you will read a brief epidemiological study (Lyme Disease Study), which is available through our course website at www.sakai.rutgers.edu, and critique it using the criteria below. You will also be required to read materials on epidemiological study design and flaws, which may be found on the course website (Epidemiology Reading Packet, Epi Packet Missing Pages). Use these readings, as well as the cursory information from our epidemiology lecture, to write a two page, single-spaced…

Overview: Professional scholars and researchers don’t generally write in a vacuum. Rather, they are typically motivated to write by a desire to enter into an ongoing “conversation:” to move it forward, to challenge it, to enrich it, to elaborate it, to extend it in another direction. Professional academics almost always engage other sources in their writing; only rarely will they write essays or articles that acknowledge no prior scholarship or research. As a student, you too can find motivation in the arguments of others. Finding an interesting source you to talk back to is the first step toward writing an interesting and substantive paper.

Background: The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in Black Men ended forty years ago, but its meaning and significance has continued relevance to public health, research, and American society at large.

In the 1972 article, “The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis,” R.H. Kampmeier–one of the study’s original doctors–charged critics in Congress and the media with “abysmal ignorance” and sought to “expose the deleterious ramifications” of “criticisms of the ethics and actions of the medical profession in its constant age-long efforts to improve the health of the human race.” Kampmeier’s argument addresses the TSUS in the context of syphilis research at the study’s inception and focuses in particular on the question of whether withholding penicillin, a drug that came into wide use after World War II, was unethical.

Purpose: Your assignment is a response to Kampmeier’s defense of the study and his dismissal of its critics as “irresponsible” and “emotional.” You are, in essence, adding your voice to the “conversation” about the TSUS. As you think about your response, ask yourself the following questions:

Is Kampmeier’s defense of the study persuasive? Why or why not?
What is his focus; what does his argument fail to address?
What questions does his argument raise that need answering in order to fully…
