Katherine lives in a state that has a population-based registry for autism spectrum disorders. Whenever a health care provider, mental health professional, or educator diagnosis an individual with an autism spectrum disorder, they are required by state law to report certain information to the health department. As a result, it is possible for Katherine to know the number of newly diagnosed cases of autism spectrum disorder during a particular year. That is, Katherine knows the annual of autism spectrum disorders in her state.

The available options are:

A. incidence

B. prevalence

C. correlation

D. epidemiology

A. incidence

Explanation:

Given that prevalence in medical term describes the numbers of individuals who HAVE an ailment in a given period, hence, this is not the correct answer. Because the question is asking about new cases.

Correlation is a term that defines the common or joint relationship between to conditions or variables. Hence, this is not correct.

Epidemiology is a term that deals with aspects of science involving a combination of various factors relating to health. These factors can range from incidence, to control of the ailment. Hence, this is not correct either.

However, Incidence is a term that describes the actual number or amount of individuals who DEVELOP an ailment over a particular time period. This is correct because it answers the question of NEW CASES

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.
