| dc.description.abstract | This compiled body of work consists a two year Field Epidemiology Training Program Outputs, which were done during the residency time. All these outputs are expected in the residency time which is submitted to graduate school of public health for partial fulfilment of master degree in Field Epidemiology. These are; diseases outbreak investigation, public health surveillance data analysis, surveillance system evaluation, Health profile description, manuscript, abstracts, and protocol/ proposal for epidemiologic research project and additional work like weekly bulletin. The document is organized in eight chapters. Chapter One: - The first chapter contains two outbreak investigation. The first was malaria outbreakm investigation conducted in Elu Gelan woreda of west shoa zone Oromia, Ethiopia from 24/2019 – 16/2020 WHO week in which 2099 malaria cases and no deaths were identified and the second was measles outbreak investigation occurred in Caliya woreda of west shoa zone Oromia, Ethiopia from 50 -1/2019 WHO weeks in which 16 cases and 2 deaths were identified. The second outbreak was confirmed at EPHI national reference laboratory. For both outbreaks. Case control study design was conducted to identify associated the risk factor. Recommendation was given for outbreaks based on the findings. Chapter Two: - this chapter contains meningococcal meningitis surveillance data analysis which is one of the core competency for field epidemiology training program and conducted in southern nation and nationalities and peoples region from 2012-2018. Seven years meningococcal meningitis data was analyzed retrospectively to describe epidemiology of the disease. Chapter Three: - malaria surveillance system evaluation conducted in Elu Gelan woreda west shoa zone,Oromia, Ethiopia in 2019 is presented in this chapter. The purpose and objective of malaria disease surveillance was clearly presented and we used descriptive cross sectional study design. It also addressed Public health emergency management surveillance system attributes like simplicity, flexibility,acceptability, representativeness, sensitivity and positive predictive value, timeliness and quality. Chapter Four: - contains health profile description conducted in Bona Zuria of Sidama zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia in 2019. Health and health related data of the woreda were presented in this chapter. Chapter Five: - Included scientific manuscript for peer reviewed journal on malaria outbreak investigation conducted in Elu Gelan woreda. Chapter Six: - Three abstracts were presented in this chapter. These are Abstracts of malaria outbreak investigation conducted in Elu Gelan woreda, meningitis surveillance data analysis conducted in SNNPR,and malaria surveillance system evaluation conducted in Elu Gelan woreda. Chapter Seven:- contains protocol/ proposal for epidemiologic research project namely assessment of long lasting insecticide net utilization and associated risk factors in under five children in Elu Gelan woreda of West shoa zone, Oromia, which is developed as one of the outputs. Assessment was not widely done in the district on the utilization of long lasting ITN especially for under five children. So the main purpose of this study is to assess ITN utilization and associated risk factors | en_US |
