EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS IN SUMMARIZING THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE POPULATION AND THE HEALTH DISPARITY

You have been recently hired as an Epidemiological Research Assistant at your county’s Health Department. It is only day 1 on the job and you have been asked to develop a presentation for the County Commissioners describing a health disparity within your community. click here for more information on this paper

In your report, you are asked to summarize the demographical information about the population, as well as summarize the health disparity. The County Commissioners ask that you present your findings in a PowerPoint® presentation.

In statistics or epidemiology, when you are asked to summarize an issue, this means that you must do so by using quantitative information. For this Assignment, please summarize by using only descriptive statistics. In order to procure this information, you will need to access databases supported by your State Public Health Department, CDC, CMS, etc.

You should pick a health disparity applicable to your future career.

Throughout your presentation, you must appropriately evaluate the effectiveness of descriptive statistics in summarizing the demographics of the population and the health disparity. Provide contextual information where appropriate.

Download the template from Doc Sharing to use for this Assignment.

Requirements

• Presentation is 10–12 slides in length. • Use of the speaker’s notes area contains detailed information, while the slides appear uncluttered. • Visual representations of data are used to summarize descriptive statistics of demographical information. • Visual representations of data are used to summarize descriptive statistics of the health disparity. • Descriptive statistics are evaluated for effectiveness. Contextual information is provided.

Alcohol Use on College Campuses

In a total of five (minimum) to six pages (maximum), not including the title page or reference page, address 2 of the 3 prompts below.  Although some information can be found in your textbook, this  assignment may require you to look up more information and details about  alcohol, tobacco, and drug use specific to your college campus. Please  use and reference any statistics, facts, or examples that you may find.  Real examples work the best including personal experience; however, if  you do not have one, you can create a scenario as appropriate.  Please  note, if you do not either use an example or create a scenario, then the  assignment is less applicable to a real-world situation and this could  affect your grade.
You must answer all parts of the questions with  no errors to receive full credit.  Use APA format, double-space,  include a title page, page numbers on the top right corner, and please  use correct spelling and grammar.  As always, I DO count off for spelling and grammar errors, so be careful and proofread your work before submitting. Please include both prompts in the same document.
Prompt 1: Alcohol Use on College Campuses
Alcohol use is prevalent on college campuses. Many college students  participate in binge drinking and other drinking competitions that can  be dangerous and even fatal. Address the following questions on alcohol  use in college:

  • What are some of the most common negative consequences college students experience as a result of drinking?
  • Why do students tolerate the negative behaviors of students who have been drinking?
  • How can you avoid drinking amounts of alcohol that will affect your judgment and jeopardize your safety?
  • If you see a friend having too many drinks at a party, what actions  could you take to make sure he or she is safe and responsible?
  • Are there particular traditions or norms related to when and why students drink on your campus?

Prompt 2: Tobacco Use on College Campuses
Cigarette smoking among college students has decreased since the late  1990’s. While this trend is important to note, college students are  often influenced by the media and their peers to engage in tobacco use  including smoking cigarettes. In an effort to reduce smoking, many  college campuses have implemented smoke-free policies on campus. Address  the following questions on tobacco use on college campuses:

  • Have you noticed a change in the number of students on your campus who smoke?
  • What do you think are their reasons for smoking? What keeps them from quitting?
  • Do you think restrictions on smoking are fair? Why or why not?
  • What are the tobacco use or smoking policies on your campus?
  • How would you change the tobacco use or smoking policies on your campus?

Prompt 3: Drug Use on College Campuses
Students use and abuse drugs for a variety of different reasons  including, but not limited to curiosity, social norms, stress, sorority  and fraternity membership, and family history of addiction. In a study  of drug use among full time college students, over 50% had used some  type of illicit drug. Address the following questions on drug use on  college campuses:

  • How common is drug use and abuse on your college campus?
  • What types of drug treatment and recovery programs are available for students on your campus?
  • What strategies does your campus use to prevent drug use and abuse on campus?
  • If your campus does not currently have any strategies to prevent  drug use and abuse campus, what would you recommend for programs or  services?
  • Do you think there is such a thing as responsible use of illicit drugs?

Using Health Information Technology As A Source Of Evidence-Based Practice

Using Health Information Technology As A Source Of Evidence-Based Practice

Post a 1 page in APA style( No more than 250 word)description of your practice concern. Outline how you used health information technology to locate evidence-based practices that address this concern. Cite and include insights from the resources. Analyze how health information technology supports evidence-based practice. CITE SOURCES AND USE AT LEAST 3 REFERENCES.
FYI:  Read the following scenario from the text (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018 p. 506):Consider how the resources identified in the scenario above could influence an organization’s practice. •Twelve-hour shifts are problematic for patient and nurse safety, and yet hospitals continue to keep the 12-hour shift schedule. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (Board on Health Care Services & Institute of Medicine, 2004) published a report that referred to studies as early as 1988 that discussed the negative effects of rotating shifts on intervention accuracy. Workers with 12-hour shifts realized more fatigue than workers on 8-hour shifts. In another study done in Turkey by Ilhan, Durukan, Aras, Turkcuoglu, and Aygun (2006), factors relating to increased risk for injury were age of 24 or less, less than 4 years of nursing experience, working in the surgical intensive care units, and working for more than 8 hours.  • •Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you. Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action.

Effect of Humidity on Chirp Rate

Lab 1: To Chirp or Not to Chirp? That is lathe Question.

lab report google link:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KUla3Hrmm2gtoq7TM7uMmNqMSmDSc6tmgQiIG6Yhfx8/edit#

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this lab you will be able to:

  • Describe how logic plays a role in experimental design.
  • Identify variables in an experiment.
  • Develop logical hypotheses, prediction statements, and conclusions.

Introduction

Your task in this lab is to explore the process of scientific inquiry by investigating the reason and timing of cricket chirps using an online tutorial that was developed by Glendale Community College in Glendale, AZ that will allow you to review steps of the Scientific Method and design your own experiment. To begin, open this interactive website on the Scientific Method:
http://webapp.gccaz.edu/academic/biology/scientific_method/ 

Tutorial Analysis Questions

Click on the “Tutorial” button at the bottom of the screen to begin. Following the instructions provided in the introduction, complete the entire tutorial and then answer the questions below. It is highly recommended that if you do not answer the questions in the tutorial correctly, repeat the exercises until you get it correct.

Please Note:

There is a glitch in the tutorial. When you get to the flower logic problem, do not select the box labeled “White White” as your first selection. The solution the tutorial gives you when you select this box is incomplete.

  1. Were you able to solve the first logic problem about flowers in the box? Briefly your initial thought process as you decided which labels belong on which box (even if you did not guess correctly on your first try).
  2. How did you do in the tutorial portion of the activity? Did you carefully read the questions or make assumptions that led to selecting the incorrect answers? Describe what you learned about your analytical skills in this exercise.

Cricket Experiment Setup

In this activity, you will be given 5 potential experiments to run to test the reason that crickets chirp. Your task is to test all 5 of the experimental conditions to test, collect your data, and draw conclusions based on your experimental results. To be most efficient with your time, answer the questions below as you go.

  1. Record the BEST problem statement provided in the activity:
  2. How do crickets make their chirping sounds?
  3. Record the laboratory conditions that have been recreated to simulate the cricket’s habitat:
    Air Temperature: _______________ C
    Atmospheric Pressure: __________________ mm
    Number of crickets nearby:_______________
    Wind Speed:_______________ m/sec
    Cricket Chirps:_______________ per minute
  4. For the factor you believe to be the most plausible, identify the following components:
    1. What is your hypothesis?
    2. What is your independent variable?
    3. What is your dependent variable?
    4. What are all the controlled variables?
      Data Collection

Perform the experiments, testing every hypothesis made available to you. Collect at least 5 data points for each hypothesis. Record your data in the tables below. Regardless of which hypothesis you believe to be the most likely, you must still collect at least 5 data points for all 5 hypotheses.

Data Analysis
After collecting and analyzing your data, there are a series of questions to answer regarding your results. Complete all the questions.  BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DETERMINING WHAT THE QUESTIONS ARE ASKING!! THERE ARE SOME TRICKY ONES THAT YOU MUST THINK ABOUT CAREFULLY!! Be sure you understand what is being asked, and are absolutely certain the options you choose can actually be determined from the data you have! (You do not need to print the trophy when complete.)
Provide a descriptive paragraph below explaining how you used your data to draw the appropriate conclusions. Address the following questions in your analysis:

  1. What is your final conclusion on cricket chirp rate?
  2. Did the tutorial help you apply logical thought processes to draw your conclusion?
  3. What problems did you encounter in the process?
  4. Did any of the final questions testing your understanding of the data trip you up?

the solution-focused model and solution-focused questions

Psychology homework help
Social workers who utilize the solution-focused model are mindful of how their conversations with their clients, families, groups, or even community members facilitate their thinking about solutions. The client is always the “expert,” and therefore social workers ask questions to explore how the client perceives the problem and situation.Social workers may use solution-focused questions such as the miracle question. For example, “Suppose you woke up one morning and by some miracle everything you ever wanted, everything good you could ever imagine for yourself, had actually happened—your life had turned out exactly the way you wanted it. What would be different in your life?” When clients are asked this, it forces them to reflect on what they want or would like to achieve. By projecting themselves into the future, clients are more likely to imagine what is possible rather than focusing on the past and their failures. This allows for the possibility of developing solutions.
In this Discussion, you apply the solution-focused model and solution-focused questions. You provide other solution-focused questions, similar to the miracle question that was provided for you. Although the textbook provides actual examples of solution-focused questions, always think about your client—you may have to modify the question a bit to take into account the client’s age, cognitive and developmental stage, culture, etc., so that the question makes sense to the client.
To prepare:Recall a case from your fieldwork experience to use for this Discussion.Review and focus on pages 520–521 in your textbook.
In 1 to 2 sentences, briefly identify and describe the problem as perceived by the client, family, or group that you dealt with in your past fieldwork experience. From the list of solution-focused questions on page 520 (e.g., exception questions, coping questions, scaling questions, and relationship questions), identify two different types of questions, and ask each question as if you were actually asking the questions to the client. (Remember, do not use the miracle question.) Remember that the goal of these questions is to assist clients in identifying a solutionExplain how asking these two questions would help the client in coming up with the solution. In 1 to 2 sentences, reflect and explain how asking these questions made you feel and perhaps how the client might feel. No more then 500 words
