Communicating the findings of a completed outbreak investigation usually takes which two forms?

AA press release and a poster for the public
BA line listing and an updated epidemic curve
CA laboratory report and an inspection record
DAn oral briefing and a written report
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. An oral briefing and a written report
1. The last step is to summarise the investigation, its findings and its outcome, then communicate that summary. 2. One form is an oral briefing for local authorities and the people who will carry out control measures. 3. The other is a written report following the scientific format of introduction, background, methods, results, discussion and recommendations. 4. The written report provides a blueprint for action, a record of performance and a document for any legal issues. _Source: CDC Principles of Epidemiology in Public Health Practice, 3rd Edition, section Step 13 Communicate Findings_
