Answer:

B) Prevalence

Explanation:

Prevalence in this case is the number of young women within the age bracket that tested positive for STI this year.

We cannot say this is an epidemic because we don't know if the statistics from the result is normal or higher than what is termed normal. It is also not incidence because incidence has to do with new cases and we were not given enough information to know if it is the first time for those who tested positive or they have tested positive for STI in the past.

Since there are no risk factors involved, we cannot term the data as risk because risk in this case involves the probability of contracting STI.

Answer: Option B ( PREVALENCE)

Explanation:

While Endemic has to do with consistent presence of a disease or it's agent in a population;

An Epidemic describes a sudden increment in the amount of cases of a disease beyond or above the expected level of that disease within a specific population in a particular geographical location.

Sporadic is used for the description of a disease that does not occur frequently.

Pandemic is used in reference to an epidemic that has dispersed to many nations or even continents, and affecting so many people.

A prevalence is a term that describes the proportion of people in a given population that currently has a part disease. It also may simply be seen as a statistical representation that reveals the amount of a disease that's present in a population at a particular period.

Incidence refers to the quantity or amount of new cases of a particular disease that surfaces in a given population at a particular period

Summarily, if 600 out of 8000 young women tested positive for an STI; the best term to describe this development is a PREVALENCE - which is a description of the proportion of people in a population that have a disease
