o POPULATION STRUCTURE

o POPULATION SEX RATIO

o = M / F x 100%

o ex: 12,349 M / 12,413 F x 100 = 99%

o ( for every 99 males, there are 100 females)

133.

o AGE STRUCTURE

Percentage of a specified age group in comparison to the total number of population

EXAMPLE:

total population = 50

specified age group=children 1– 4 = 30

Page 25: Chn Review March 1 2011 Complete

o 30 / 50 x 100 = 60%

134.

o DEPENDENCY RATIO

Refers to the very young & old population

FORMULA:

Population (0-14) + (65 & above) / (15 – 64) x 100

135.

EXAMPLE:

Population 0 – 14 + 65 & above = 500

Population 15 – 64 y.o. = 500

500 / 500 x 100 = 100 (ratio 1:1)

136.

o MEASURES OF DISTRIBUTION

o DENSITY (D) – shows the number of persons dwelling upon a unit area of land

o D = Population / area

137.

o EXAMPLE:

o land area = 20,000 square meters

o population = 1000

o 1,000 / 20, 000 sq. m = 0.05 sq. m

o THUS: for every 100 sq. m, there are 5 persons living on it

138.

o MEASURES OF MIGRATION

MIGRATION

CRUDE IN – MIGRATION RATE (CMIR)

no. of in – migrants / population x 100

139.

Page 26: Chn Review March 1 2011 Complete

CRUDE OUT – MIGRATION RATE (CMOR)

no. of out – migrants / population x 100

NET MIGRATION RATE

CMIR – CMOR = net migration rate

140.

o MEASURES OF POPULATION GROWTH

o RATE OF NATURAL INCREASE

o CBR – CDR per 1000 population

141.

o AVERAGE ANNUAL PERCENTAGE INCREASE

o Pt / Po – 1 / t x 100

o Where: Pt – population at a later date

o Po – population at an earlier date

o t – time interval between dates t & o

142.

o EXAMPLE:

o Population in 1977 = 5,000

o Population in 1972 = 1,000

o 5,000 / 1,000 – 1 / 5 x 100 = 80%

143.

o ZERO GROWTH RATE

o BIRTH RATE = DEATH RATE

144.

160. COPAR

161. COMMUNITY ORGANIZING PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH

o DEFINITIONS:

a social development approach that aims to transform the apathetic , individualistic, and voiceless poor into dynamic, participatory and politically responsive community

162. IMPORTANCE OF COPAR

COPAR helps the community workers

to generate community participation

in development activities.

COPAR prepares people/clients to

eventually take over the management

of a development program in the

future.

163.

Page 30: Chn Review March 1 2011 Complete

COPAR maximizes community participation

and involvement; community resources

are mobilized for community services

164. PRINCIPLES OF COPAR

People, especially the most oppressed, exploited and deprived sectors are open to change, have the capacity to change, and are able to bring about change

COPAR should be based on the interests of the poorest sectors of society

COPAR should lead to a self-reliant community and society

264. What to do with Opened vials of Vaccines?

o I. Continue to use opened vials in the subsequent sessions if all these conditions are met:

Expiry date has not passed

Vaccines are stored appropriately (+2 to +8 ˚C)

Sterile procedures have been fully observed

Opened vial has not been contaminated

265.

o NOTE:

o Discard opened BCG and MV after 6 hours of reconstitution.

o Opened vials of DPT, Hep B, TT can still be used for 4 weeks provided condition 1-4 in the previous slide are met.

266.

o II. Discard an opened vial immediately if any of the following conditions apply:

o Sterile procedures have not been fully observed

Page 52: Chn Review March 1 2011 Complete

o + Visible evidence of contamination (e.g. change in appearance or presence of floating particles)

267.

o If the label has come off, or

o If the VVM has reached discard point

the inner square matches, or

is darker than the circle

o Reconstituted vaccines (BCG, AMV) after 6 hours of reconstitution

268.

o What is reconstitution?

o To restore to the original state by adding water; To build up again by putting back together the original pieces.

o What is a diluent?

o An inert substance that dilutes the strength of a solution or mixture.

269. What is thermal shock?

o It is the process of damage to the vaccine resulting from the use of diluent that is at too high a temperature (above +8°C).

o It results in the death of some or all of the essential live organisms in the vaccine.

270.

271. How to read a vaccine vial monitor The inner square is lighter than the outer circle. If the expiry date has not passed, USE the vaccine. As time passes the inner square is still lighter than the outer circle. If the expiry date has not passed, USE the vaccine. Discard point: the colour of the inner square matches that of the outer circle. DO NOT USE the vaccine. Beyond the discard point: inner square is darker than the outer circle. DO NOT USE the vaccine.

272. POINTS to REMEMBER:

Page 58: Chn Review March 1 2011 Complete

Eligible Population (EP) of infants

o EP= Total Population (TP) x 3%

Wastage Multiplier : 1.2

o National:

o Reserve stock :25%

o Reserve stock multiplier: 1.25

o Region/ province/city:

o Reserve stock: 12.5%

o Reserve Stock Multiplier : 1.125

o Municipality

o Reserve Stock: 12.5%

o Reserve Stock multiplier: 1.1

295.

o 2) Formula

o Hep B requirements of National/Provincial/city level

o =EPx no. of doses x wastage multiplier x reserve stock multiplier

o Hep B requirements of lower level

o = EP x no. of doses x wastage multiplier x reserve stock multiplier

296.

o SEATWORK:

o Given: Province A with a total population of 2,000,000 for 2006.Compute for the annual requirements for hepatitis B
