Explain possible strategies for overcoming the limitations of the secondary data

ASSIGNMENT on a PUBLIC HEALTH Research Proposal

WEEK 5 Assignment:
Week 5: Secondary Analysis of Archived Data
Consider the scenario from the Week 4 Introduction. Imagine once again that you are a public health professional attempting to gather data to help answer a research question. Is there a link between diabetes and vision problems within the Taos Pueblo population in New Mexico? You decide to mail a written survey to this target population. The survey includes questions on diet, exercise, health and vision problems, and other related variables. What might threaten the validity of these self-reported data? What other types of secondary archived data sets might be helpful to you and your organization in answering your research question? What might you need to consider in terms of the validity and integrity of these data sets?
This week, you examine possible threats to the validity and integrity of self-reported data, as well as the benefits and limitations of self-reported data. You explore strategies for overcoming the limitations of secondary data. In addition, you explore the process for conducting a secondary analysis of archived data (SAAD) based on evaluating identified data sets for validity and integrity.
SDA/SAAD involves manipulation of raw data to answer a unique research question (one not previously answered by the originators of the datafile,  not just gleaning information from a report (which represents descriptive statistics) or a website or peer reviewed article.   If you took these courses, you may revisit your notes and coursework on SDA/SAAD from these courses as a refresher and to assist you in completing the assignments on SDA/SAAD for this course.

Students will:

· Evaluate threats to validity of self-reported data
· Analyze benefits and limitations of secondary data
· Apply strategies to overcome limitations of secondary data
· Evaluate data sets for validity and integrity
· Analyze processes for determining data set integrity.
·
· In addition to collecting data through archived databases, researchers often employ qualitative or quantitative studies to collect information directly from individuals within a target population. This is called self-reported data, and it may be prospective or retrospective. It might seem that the individuals taking a survey about their own health would have the most valid data on the subject. But is this true? What aspects of self-reported data might threaten validity??

Assignment: Final Project: Stage II—Secondary Analysis of Archived Data (SAAD)
Data sets often are compiled for the purposes of original research or recordkeeping. Researchers, such as those in the field of public health, may choose to do their own original research. This prospective research might be quantitative or qualitative. It might take the form of self-reported surveys or many other types of research.
However, not all researchers have the time or the budget to conduct their own thorough research. Instead, they might have to use preexisting data. However, not all databases are collected for research purposes. The data may have been collected for recordkeeping. Either way, researchers might find such databases germane to their own research and research questions. This fresh analysis of existing data in order to answer a research question is considered secondary analysis of archived data (SAAD). A SAAD is a retrospective study and is usually quantitative; however, there is a trend to conduct SAADs with qualitative archived data.
Three essential questions about the database relating to study feasibility must be answered before proposing or initiating a SAAD:
1. Will I have access to the data to conduct the analysis? (Some databases are in the public domain, whereas others are privately owned and require that permission be obtained from the owner to use.)
2. Does the database include the variables of interest for my study? (Are the variables that I want to explore or analyze actually included in the data set?)
3. Can the validity and integrity of the data be verified?
For this week’s Assignment, from the Learning Resources or your own research, identify local and national health-related data sources related to your Final Project. You may use data that are maintained and collected by a community based organization but that have not been analyzed. You may use any available data set to which you have access. You are also free to use any statistical software with which you are familiar.
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper in which you:
· Explain how the data set relates to your Final Project.
· Evaluate the data set for validity and integrity. Explain whether the data are valid and reliable and justify your response.
· Explain possible strategies for overcoming the limitations of the secondary data.
· Explain the process for selecting a data set and determining its integrity. Provide a rationale for your answer.
Support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style and ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.
Here is MY CHOSEN TOPIC (Obesity In ADULTS rural West Virginia) and I attached My Annotated Bibliography I have already done on the topic last week.
As you can see below I chose BRFSS, as my dataset for Obesity and you must address all the Assignment Instrcuct. onObesity in ADULTS and BRFSS dataset; therefore you must address these points ON MY OBESITY in ADULTS rural WV and on BRFSS dataset:

DEVELOP FOUR COMPETENCY STATEMENTS SPECIFIC TO THE NURSING FUNDAMENTALS

DEVELOP FOUR COMPETENCY STATEMENTS SPECIFIC TO THE NURSING FUNDAMENTALS

 NO COMMENTS
Part 1
The role of the nurse educator requires specialized knowledge and skills. One of the essential competencies necessary for the role is the ability to develop relevant curricula for the preparation of future nurses. It is therefore important that nurse educators comprehend and stay well-informed of trends and issues which may impact nursing education
This task is intended to facilitate your ability to develop competency statements and related learning objectives; select relevant learning assessment and evaluation tools; create learning activities that promote critical thinking and reflective skills; and actively engage and support students with diverse learning needs. As an educator, you are also required to demonstrate effective analytical skills in the evaluation of methods used to determine the achievement of program outcomes. In addition, in this task you write an element of an exam. This will help you comprehend different item types and the process involved when you develop items for course exams. These learning activities assist in building an educational foundation between the classroom setting and the clinical setting.
Scenario:
The nursing faculty at Hartford University have developed a new BSN curriculum and begun the work of designing and developing individual courses. You are a full-time, tenure-track faculty member assigned to develop courses in level one—the first year of the nursing program. Students at this level have completed all prerequisites for the BSN program.
You are asked to develop the Nursing Fundamentals course, the first clinical course students engage in once admitted to the BSN nursing program. According to the results of the nursing program entrance exam, the students who will be taking the Nursing Fundamentals course were found to have an equal distribution of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The Nursing Fundamentals course will introduce students to nursing care across the lifespan. It will also provide students with the tools necessary to perform basic nursing care in clinical settings and will provide the framework for future clinical courses (e.g., medical/surgical, pediatric, obstetrics/gynecology, mental health, and community nursing specialties).
Requirements:
A.  Develop four competency statements specific to the Nursing Fundamentals course that are based on contemporary professional nursing standards and guidelines.
