Activity

As a team, decide upon an initial (working) case definition. Keep in mind that your case definition will change as you obtain more information. A case definition should always include clinical information, and elements related to person, place, and time.

Clinical Information (e.g. disease signs and symptoms, lab results)  
Person  
Place  
Time  

Question 6: What is the purpose of these initial interviews?

Question 7: Will you create a new questionnaire specifically for this outbreak, or will you use an existing questionnaire? If you choose to use an existing questionnaire, please discuss where this questionnaire is located, and how it will need to be modified for this outbreak.
