[MUSIC] Hi, and welcome to this lecture on travel, health and wellness. I'm Anna Klabarczyk and I will be joined later by Dr. Summer Rosenstock who will be talking to you a little bit about diarrhea. In this first section, I want to give you an overview of all of the topics we'll be covering in travel health. And I think it's important to start with this overview, because travel health is really, it's a specific sort of genre when we talk about health. It's not like your standard personal health care. There's something very unique and specific to it so I want to make sure that you have an overarching view of what we're trying to get you to take away from this lecture. And, the framework I want to provide is that, we're going to talk about a lot of things but I don't think that all of these things are going to happen to you. But I do think that one of them probably will. And so it's best for you to be as prepared as possible for that one thing that's likely to occur when you travel. So some of this information will be more relevant to you for upcoming travel than other information. But the aim is to really prepare you in perpetuity. The objective of this lecture is to specifically prepare you for your pre-travel health consultation. How you can talk with a travel doctor or with your personal doctor about any concerns that you have depending on your location? And then what you can do prevent illness while you're travelling. I want you to apply decision making concepts from the framework that Dr. Hynes provided in her prevent lecture to all of the material you see here. So remember that a lot of your decision making is personal, it's about your level of risk, right? What it is you're willing to accept, and it's also about your perception of what the risks really are. So in this lecture we'll be talking about vector-borne diseases and how to prevent them, whether that's vaccination, prophylaxis, behaviour. We'll then move on to food and waterborne diseases and have a conversation about diarrhea and diarrheal diseases. In the third section we'll discuss rabies, altitude illness, and sun exposure. And we'll wrap up with the conversation about injuries. Before we start I want to remind you of the immunization algorithm for travelers, and you've gone over this in a previous lecture. But keep this algorithm in mind as we move through the rest of the health and wellness content. So again, on the left, you're considering what are the risks? Are you at risk for yellow fever? Are you at risk for food and waterborne illness? The likelihood is that the answer to that question is yes no matter where you go. Are you going to be staying somewhere for a very long time? And do you have special risks based on where you are going to be located? In this lecture, we will be covering most, but not all of the illnesses that you see in this algorithm. So we'll definitely be talking about yellow fever, hepatitis A, typhoid, rabies, and Japanese encephalitis. So now let's take a break and when we come back we will be talking about vector borne diseases and how to prevent them while you're traveling.
