Public health is the science and practice of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through organised efforts of society. Courses cover epidemiology, biostatistics, health promotion, health protection, social and environmental determinants of health, health policy and systems, global health, and research and evaluation methods, often applied to current issues such as obesity, smoking and pandemics.
| Domain | Example topics |
|---|---|
| Epidemiology | Study designs, disease frequency, causation, bias |
| Health improvement | Health promotion models, behaviour change, inequalities |
| Health protection | Infectious disease control, vaccination, outbreaks |
| Health services | Health systems, policy, needs assessment, evaluation |
| Global health | Burden of disease, SDGs, health systems strengthening |
This map lists the core public health topics, the point where students most often get stuck, and how a tutor helps you past it.
| Topic | Where students get stuck | How a tutor helps |
|---|---|---|
| Epidemiology | Measures of frequency and association | Worked 2 × 2 tables with interpretation |
| Study design | Matching the design to the question | Design comparison tables |
| Biostatistics | Confidence intervals and tests | Plain-language interpretation of output |
| Health promotion | Choosing and applying a model | Apply the model to a real intervention |
| Social determinants | Explaining health inequalities | Use the Dahlgren and Whitehead model with data |
| Health protection | Outbreaks, screening and vaccination | Worked screening and herd immunity examples |
| Health policy | Evaluating policy with evidence | Policy, evidence and critique in each paragraph |
| Global health | Comparing countries fairly | Use standardised indicators from reliable sources |
Prevalence is the proportion of a population with a disease at a point in time, while incidence is the rate of new cases over a period. To measure associations, cohort studies use relative risk, comparing incidence in exposed and unexposed groups, and case-control studies use odds ratios. A value of 1 means no association.
| Measure | Formula (2×2 table: a, b exposed; c, d unexposed) | Used in |
|---|---|---|
| Relative risk | [a/(a+b)] ÷ [c/(c+d)] | Cohort studies, trials |
| Odds ratio | (a × d) ÷ (b × c) | Case-control studies |
| Attributable risk | Risk in exposed − risk in unexposed | Cohort studies |
In this table, a and b are diseased and non-diseased exposed people, and c and d are diseased and non-diseased unexposed people.
Here is an illustrative cohort study: 1,000 people exposed to a risk factor and 1,000 unexposed are followed for a year. Among the exposed, 30 develop the disease; among the unexposed, 10 do. The calculations show how strong the association is and how much disease the exposure accounts for.
| Disease | No disease | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exposed | 30 (a) | 970 (b) | 1,000 |
| Unexposed | 10 (c) | 990 (d) | 1,000 |
| Measure | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Risk in exposed | 30 ÷ 1,000 | 0.03 (3%) |
| Risk in unexposed | 10 ÷ 1,000 | 0.01 (1%) |
| Relative risk | 0.03 ÷ 0.01 | 3.0 |
| Attributable risk | 0.03 − 0.01 | 0.02 (20 per 1,000) |
| Number needed to harm | 1 ÷ 0.02 | 50 |
| Odds ratio | (30 × 990) ÷ (970 × 10) | ≈ 3.06 |
The exposed group has three times the risk, and for every 50 people exposed, one extra case occurs. Because the disease is rare, the odds ratio is close to the relative risk.
Two short illustrative calculations used in public health and evidence-based practice.
| Question | Working | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 50 new cases occur in 10,000 people followed for one year. Find the incidence rate. | 50 ÷ 10,000 person-years | 5 per 1,000 person-years |
| On one day, 300 of the 10,000 people have the condition. Find the point prevalence. | 300 ÷ 10,000 | 3% |
| Risk of an outcome is 10% without treatment and 6% with it. Find the NNT. | Absolute risk reduction = 10% − 6% = 4%; NNT = 1 ÷ 0.04 | 25 people treated to prevent one outcome |
Incidence measures new cases over time; prevalence measures existing cases at a point in time. Always round NNT up to a whole number.
Choose a study design by your question, resources and ethics. Randomised controlled trials give the strongest evidence of cause and effect, cohort studies follow exposure to outcome, case-control studies suit rare diseases, and cross-sectional studies measure prevalence at one point in time.
| Design | Strengths | Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Randomised controlled trial | Controls confounding by randomisation | Costly; not always ethical |
| Cohort study | Shows temporal sequence; measures incidence | Long and expensive; loss to follow-up |
| Case-control study | Efficient for rare diseases | Recall and selection bias |
| Cross-sectional study | Quick measure of prevalence | Cannot show cause and effect |
| Ecological study | Uses existing population data | Ecological fallacy |
Choose a health promotion model that fits the behaviour, population and level of intervention. The Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behaviour explain individual decisions, the Transtheoretical (Stages of Change) Model suits interventions matched to readiness, and socio-ecological models and the Dahlgren and Whitehead rainbow address wider determinants of health.
Tutors help you apply a model critically to your chosen issue and design or evaluate an intervention with clear objectives and outcome measures.
A public health report defines the health problem and its burden using data, identifies the population affected and the causes, including social determinants, reviews the evidence for interventions, makes specific recommendations and explains how they would be implemented and evaluated. Use reliable sources such as WHO, national statistics agencies and peer-reviewed studies.
Tutors help you find and interpret data, structure the report and make recommendations evidence-based and realistic.
Public health students most often lose marks by confusing incidence and prevalence, treating association as causation, ignoring bias and confounding, using out-of-date or unreliable data, and making recommendations without an evaluation plan. Each is easy to fix with a clear framework.
| Mark-loser | What to do instead |
|---|---|
| Incidence and prevalence confused | Incidence is new cases over time; prevalence is all cases at a point |
| Association treated as causation | Discuss confounding, bias and causal criteria such as Bradford Hill |
| Unreliable data | Use WHO, national statistics and peer-reviewed sources |
| No inequalities lens | Discuss social determinants and who is most affected |
| Recommendations without evaluation | Add measurable outcomes and an evaluation plan |
Public health is assessed in several formats, and each one is marked on different things. Tutors help you understand the brief and the marking criteria before you start.
| Assessment | What markers look for |
|---|---|
| Epidemiology problem sets | Correct calculations with interpretation and limitations |
| Health needs assessments | Clear data, prioritised needs and evidence-based recommendations |
| Health promotion plans | A justified model, SMART objectives and an evaluation plan |
| Policy analyses | Evidence-based critique and realistic recommendations |
| Dissertations and systematic reviews | A clear question, systematic methods and critical appraisal |
Public health students use data sources and statistics software.
| Tool | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Fingertips (OHID) and ONS data | UK public health indicators |
| WHO Global Health Observatory | International health statistics |
| Stata, R or SPSS | Epidemiological and statistical analysis |
| Epi Info | Free epidemiology software |
| Cochrane Library and PubMed | Evidence and systematic reviews |
Tutors match your level, syllabus and exam board, from school to PhD.
| Level | What you study | Matching help |
|---|---|---|
| A-Level and Level 3 | Health and Social Care, Biology and Sociology foundations | A-Level AQA Biology and live tutoring |

Divide the risk of disease in the exposed group by the risk in the unexposed group. For example, 3% ÷ 1% gives a relative risk of 3.0.
The odds of exposure among cases divided by the odds among controls, calculated as (a × d) ÷ (b × c). It is used in case-control studies.
A confounder is a third factor linked to both the exposure and the outcome, which can create or hide an association. Randomisation, matching and adjustment help control it.
Considerations for judging whether an association is causal, including strength, consistency, temporality, dose-response and biological plausibility.
The number of people who need to receive an intervention for one person to benefit, calculated as 1 ÷ the absolute risk reduction.
Systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials usually sit at the top of the evidence hierarchy, followed by individual RCTs and cohort studies.
