Social mobilization

/in /by

Social mobilization is also important from a global perspective. Consider the efforts to reduce the disease burden on impacted communities, including safe drinking water, malaria prevention, polio prevention, and local economic enterprises. Within this context, a social marketing and/or media and public education campaign may be developed to help support, highlight, and provide continued momentum toward the policy change objective. It may also encourage the sustainability of mobilization efforts, for example through a local coalition of concerned neighbors, community partners, and local businesses.

 

  1. How do partnerships encourage communities with significant disease burdens to take responsibility for a societal change?
  2. What are some effective strategies that community members can use to voice their issues and influence political leaders to be more responsive to community needs (e.g. forming a local coalition)?
  3. How would you balance respect for differences and ethical and faith beliefs with public health advocacy through strategic communications and adaptability?

Sickle-cell disease

/in /by

1- Sickle-cell disease is a painful disorder of the red blood cells that in the United States affects mostly African-Americans. To investigate whether the drug hydroxyurea can reduce the pain associated with sickle-cell disease, a study by the National Institutes of Health gave the drug to 150 sickle-cell sufferers and a placebo to another 150. The researchers then counted the number of episodes of pain reported by each subject. What is the response variable in this study?

A) The drug hydroxyurea.

B) The number of episodes of pain.

C) The presence of sickle-cell disease.

D) The number of red blood cells.

2- One hundred volunteers who suffer from severe depression are available for a study. Fifty are selected at random and are given a new drug that is thought to be particularly effective in treating severe depression. The other 50 are given an existing drug for treating severe depression. A psychiatrist evaluates the symptoms of all volunteers after four weeks in order to determine if there has been substantial improvement in the severity of the depression.

Q: What is the explanatory variable or factor in this study?

Group of answer choices

A) Which drug do the volunteers receive.

B) The use of randomization and the fact that this was a comparative study.

C) The extent to which the depression was reduced.

D) The use of a psychiatrist to evaluate the severity of depression.

3- In order to assess the opinion of students at a large university about campus snow removal, a reporter for the student newspaper interviews the first 12 students he meets who are willing to express their opinions.

What set of students make up the sample?

  1. All those students favored prompt snow removal.
  2. All students at universities receive substantial snow.
  3. The 12 students were interviewed.
  4. All students at the University of Minnesota.

4- A public opinion poll in Ohio wants to determine whether registered voters in the state approve of a measure to ban smoking in all public areas. They select a simple random sample of 50 registered voters from each county in the state and ask whether they approve or disapprove of the measure.

Fill in the blank. The proportion of registered voters in the state who approve of banning smoking in public areas is an example of _________

A) a sample proportion.

B) a statistic.

C) a parameter.

D) an unbiased statistic.

 

5- Fill in the blank. A free cholesterol screening program is set up in the downtown area during the lunch hour. Individuals can walk in and have their cholesterol measured for free. One hundred seventy-three people use the service, and their average cholesterol is 217.8. The value 217.8 is an example of _________

 

  1. a sample proportion.
  2. a statistic.
  3. a parameter.
  4. an unbiased parameter.

 

6- A particularly common question in the study of wildlife behavior involves observing contests between “residents” of a particular area and “intruders.”  In each contest, the “residents” either win or lose the encounter (assuming there are no ties).  Observers might record several variables, some of which are listed below.  Which of these variables is categorical?

 

  1. The duration of the contest (in seconds).

The public health issue

/in /by

Scenario A Several studies have shown that one of the leading causes of death among men in the United States is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although high levels of blood pressure and cholesterol have been identified as significant CVD risk factors, their prevalence remains high in this population group. What factors (e.g., values, behaviors, contributions from multiple professions and public health systems) need to be quantitatively investigated to significantly control blood pressure and cholesterol levels in American men? Please formulate two research questions to explore these factors, within the context of the theory you selected for this scenario.

 

Scenario B According to evidence-based research, most cervical cancers are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Widespread immunization with the HPV vaccine could reduce the impact of cervical cancer worldwide. However, in the US HPV vaccination continues to fall far behind other vaccines recommended for adolescents, according to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). What factors (e.g., values, behaviors, methods, contributions from multiple professions and public health systems) need to be quantitatively investigated to increase HPV vaccination rates in US adolescents? Please formulate two research questions to explore these factors, within the context of the theory you selected for this scenario.

 

1)Briefly describe the public health issue presented in each of the scenarios (A & B) above and the theoretical framework or model you have chosen to apply to address this public health issue. Examples of theories to choose from (Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Theories of Organizational Change, Social Cognitive Theory, and Socio-Ecological Model.)

2) Develop two quantitative research questions.

3)Explain how the chosen theory applies to your research questions (i.e., what is the relationship between the theory and the research questions).

4) Analyze the strengths and limitations of applying theories or models to public health issues. Include at least two strengths and at least two limitations of applying the chosen theory or model to address the public health issue presented in the scenario.

5) Support your response with at least two peer-reviewed articles, less than five years old. Properly cite/reference using the APA 7th edition.
