This video introduces students to disease transmission concepts for participation in module 2: How does disease spread? Students learn how infection prevention specialists use information on the type of infectious agent, how it is spread, and common ways it exits and enters its hosts to create a chain of infection model. Students use this information to identify appropriate prevention strategies to reduce the spread of the disease. This is part of an 8-module series in the CDC NERD Academy curriculum: Educating and Inspiring Youth to Explore Public Health, available at https://www.cdc.gov/scienceambassador....
