For your signature assignment, you will develop an original extension of previous research. Part of the paper you will write is the methods section. One sub-section of your methods is the dependent variable, or the behavior you will be measuring and how you will measure it. For this assignment, you will describe your dependent variable and measurement system in detail. Be sure to covering at least the following points:  For each dependent measure State the name of your dependent variable(s). Operationally define your dependent variable(s). Describe how you will collect data on your dependent variable(s). Include any calculations needed. Describe how you will establish the reliability of your dependent measure(s). Include reliability formula. Another sub-section of your methods is the independent variable, or the procedures which will be implemented. For this assignment, you will describe how your independent variable is implemented and how baseline (or control) procedures are implemented. Be sure to covering at least the following points: For the procedures section: Explain any aspects that will consistent across baseline and independent variable sessions (length of sessions, where you will be in relation to the participant, etc.). You may include the type of design being used in this paragraph. Explain the procedures for baseline in detail. State the name of your independent variable(s). Explain the procedures for your independent variable in detail – not including data collection procedures (those were in your DV assignment). Describe how you will establish the reliability of your independent variable implementation (treatment integrity). Include calculation to obtain percentage

Analyze the health status of a specific minority group. Select a minority group that is represented in the United States (examples include American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander).  In an essay of 750-1,000 words, compare and contrast the health status of the minority group you have selected to the national average. Consider the cultural, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical barriers to health. How do race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and education influence health for the minority group you have selected? Address the following in your essay: 1.What is the current health status of this minority group? 2.How is health promotion defined by this group? 3.What health disparities exist for this group? 4.Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.  Cite a minimum of three references in the paper.  You will find important health information regarding minority groups by exploring the following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) links: 1.Minority Health: http://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/index.html 2.Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH): http://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/publications/aag/reach.htm 3.Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations: http://www.samhsa.gov/specific-populations/racial-ethnic-minority  Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.  This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.  You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

Answer the Two study cases.

  1. Company Euronappy sells disposable diapers in Europe. It would like to expand into the Middle East. After some preliminary market research, four countries were put on the short list: Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Given its limited resources, the company can only enter two of these countries. Your assignment is to come up with a market size estimate for each one of them so that Euronappy can decide which one to enter. You decide to run a regression using data from Euronappy’s European market. Three variables are presumed to predict the sales of disposable diapers: population size, per capita GDP, and the birth rate. Data were collected on all three variables for the 19 European countries where Euronappy operates. However, the birth rate did not seem to be a factor. The estimated regression model is:

Y = –630.6 + 0.015 X1 + 47.15 X2
Y = annual sales of diapers in millions of units
X1 = population in thousands
X2 = per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP–Purchasing Power Parity Basis) in thousands US$

  1. Collect data on the population and per capita GDP for the four countries on the list (Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE).
  2. Now use the estimated regression model to predict the yearly sales of disposable diapers for these four countries. Which of these two would you choose?

Assessment 

Essential (Primary) Hypertension (ICD10 I10): Given the symptoms and high blood pressure (156/92 mmhg), classified as stage 2. Once the organic cause of hypertension has been ruled out, such as renal, adrenal or thyroid, this diagnosis is confirmed.

Differential diagnosis:

Ø Renal artery stenosis (ICD10 I70.1)

Ø Chronic kidney disease (ICD10 I12.9)

Ø Hyperthyroidism (ICD10 E05.90)

Plan

Diagnosis is based on the clinical evaluation through history, physical examination, and routine laboratory tests to assess risk factors, reveal identifiable causes and detect target-organ damage, including evidence of cardiovascular disease.

These basic laboratory tests are:

· CMP

· Complete blood count

· Lipid profile

· Thyroid-stimulating hormone

· Urinalysis

· Electrocardiogram

Ø Pharmacological treatment: 

The treatment of choice in this case would be:

Thiazide-like diuretic and/or a CCB

· Hydrochlorothiazide tab 25 mg, Initial dose: 25 mg orally once daily. 

Ø Non-Pharmacologic treatment

· Weight loss

· Healthy diet (DASH dietary pattern): Diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products with reduced content of saturated and trans l fat

· Reduced intake of dietary sodium: <1,500 mg/d is optimal goal but at least 1,000 mg/d reduction in most adults

· Enhanced intake of dietary potassium

· Regular physical activity (Aerobic): 90–150 min/wk.

· Tobacco cessation

· Measures to release stress and effective coping mechanisms.

Education

· Provide with nutrition/dietary information.

· Daily blood pressure monitoring at home twice a day for 7 days, keep a record, bring the record on the next visit with her PCP

· Instruction about medication intake compliance. 

· Education of possible complications such as stroke, heart attack, and other problems.

· Patient was educated on course of hypertension, as well as warning signs and symptoms, which could indicate the need to attend the E.R/U.C. Answered all pt. questions/concerns. Pt verbalizes understanding to all

Follow-ups/Referrals

· Evaluation with PCP in 1 weeks for managing blood pressure and to evaluate current hypotensive therapy. Urgent Care visit prn.

· No referrals needed at this time.
