Outbreak Investigation Report

Use when a field epidemiologist, communicable-disease nurse, environmental-health specialist, EIS officer, or local / state / tribal / territorial public-health investigator needs to draft an outbreak-investigation report. Guides scoped intake of the situation and jurisdiction, walks the CDC Field Epi Manual 10-step framework (Prepare, Establish existence, Verify diagnosis, Construct a case definition, Find / line-list cases, Perform descriptive epidemiology, Generate hypotheses, Test hypotheses with an analytical study, Implement control / prevention measures, Initiate and maintain communication), drafts the line-list spec, descriptive epi (time / place / person + epi curve), hypothesis-test design and measure (cohort RR / case-control OR with 95% CI), control measures, and lessons-learned, and produces a DRAFT outbreak-investigation report with citations, a methods-and-limitations section, and a release-to-medical-epidemiologist-for-review banner — never a public-release document.
