Misleading information about diseases

/in /by

INTRODUCTION Summary False or misleading information about diseases, and illnesses. potential treatments and cures. vaccines. diets and cosmetic procedures are causing people to make decisions that could have dangerous consequences for their health. This type of information can spread through communities. within families. and between friends. Often, we’re trying to help — so we share information that seems helpful. But the truth is that information connected to health and medicine involves rigorous research and complex science. Advice might change as more research is undertaken, meaning even "official" advice from a few months ago might be out of date. When we rely on friends or internet searches for the best information, we might inadvertently be putting ourselves in harm’s way. Health misinformation is causing harm to individuals and to communities. but talking to one another about its impact can help slow the spread by prompting us to think twice about the information we’re reading and sharing. This toolkit will help you get started. What is health misinformation? – It is information that is false. inaccurate. or misleading according to the best available evidence at the time. Why are we all susceptible to being influenced by misinformation and why is it so tempting to share it? – We like to feel that we have new information that others don’t know. – We want to protect the people we care about. – We may be seeking explanations or wanting to share information that helps us make sense of events. – We want to feel connected to others. Tips for talking with your family, friends, and community about misinformation – Listen Empathize Point to credible sources Don’t publicly shame Use inclusive language Use this checklist every time you come across health-related content you are not sure about. [I Did you check with the CDC or local public health department to see whether there is any information about the claim being made? Cl Did you ask a credible healthcare professional such as your doctor or nurse if they have any additional information? INTRODUCTION Welcome When it comes to our health. Did you type the claim into a search engine to see if it has been verified by a credible source? Did you look at the " About Us" page on the website to see if you can trust the source? if you’re not sure. don’t share!

Relational databases

/in /by

How are relational databases structured differently than flat-file databases? Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the flat file versus the relational structure of data.

Consider how the scope of the domain impacts the ability to of users to ask and answer potentially important clinical questions, how the physical design of tables, keys,

and relationships, as well as the existence of up-to-date data dictionaries and ERDs, might impact the quality of the data, and the ability to obtain actionable information

from the database.

Issues in contemporary research

aubman-Ben-Ari O, Musicant O, Lotan T, Farah H. The contribution of parents’ driving behavior, family climate for road safety, and parent-targeted intervention to young male driving behavior. Accid Anal Prev. 2014;72:296-301. doi: 10.1016/j.aap.2014.07.010.

One of the prominent issues in contemporary research on young drivers deals with the mechanisms underlying parents’ influences on their offspring’s driving behavior. The present study combines two sets of data: the first was gathered from in-vehicle data recorders tracking the driving of parents and their teenage sons, and the second was derived from self-report questionnaires completed by the young drivers. The aim was to evaluate the contribution of parents’ driving behavior, participation in a parent-targeted intervention, and the teen drivers’ perception of the family climate for road safety, to the driving behavior of young drivers during solo driving. The data was collected over the course of 12 months, beginning with the licensure of the teen driver, and examined a sample of 166 families who were randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups (receiving different forms of feedback) or a control group (with no feedback). Findings indicate that young male drivers’ risky driving events rate was positively associated with that of their parents. In addition, any type of intervention led to a lower rate of risky driving events among young drivers compared to the control group. Finally, a higher perception of parents as not committed to safety and lower perceived parental monitoring were related to a higher risky driving events rate among young drivers. The results highlight the need to consider a complex set of antecedents in parents’ attitudes and behavior, as well as the family’s safety atmosphere, in order to better understand young drivers’ risky driving. The practical implications refer to the effective use of the family as a lever in the attempt to promote safety awareness among young drivers.

What type of article is this? is it an intervention, epidemiological study, systematic review or commentary?

Health reform in the US

/in /by

“Health reform in the US refers to the overhaul of its health care system and is frequently used interchangeably with the Affordable Care Act (ACA).” (Keith, par. 1). health reform refers to the complete overhaul of the healthcare system in order to reduce national spending and expand healthcare coverage to millions of Americans. In 2010 President Barrack Obama signed The Patient Protection and Affordability Act also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The overall goal of the health reform was to reduce the number of uninsured Americans in the United States and allow basic access to health care statewide. Unfortunately, I do not believe healthcare in the United States will ever be 100% accessible to everyone or ever free. Access to health care is one of the biggest challenges in healthcare, whether it’s not having insurance, high deductibles, co-pays, or distance/location of facilities.

I think one of the best ways to analyze the impact the healthcare reform has had not only on insurance coverage and the healthcare system but also on patient outcomes and financial success or failure is by looking at the statistics, through feedback, and surveying insurance companies/agencies and their customers. Being able to look at the previous years or even the statistics based on the years before the reform and compare and contrast. Also by asking those who went from being uninsured to insured how they like their plan, their coverage, and the affordability to gain insight from their point of view and lifestyle in order to better the healthcare system for the future.

FYI: Did you know that the “U.S spends far more on medical care than any other industrialized nation, but ranks 28 among 36 OECD countries of the life expectancy?” (APHA.org, par. 9).

Measure of central tendency

/in /by

I collected this data for 5 days and recorded how many ounces of water I drank each day.

1: 1200ml bottle which is approximately 40 ounces of water was consumed.

2: 1000ml bottle which is 34 ounces of water.

3: 40 ounces of water.

4: I took only 24 ounces of water.

5: 40 ounces of water.

 

  1. Calculate the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation of the measurements taken. Be sure to express each value in units.
  2. Discuss which measure of central tendency you think most accurately describes the variable that you measured. Provide a thorough explanation.
  3. Describe the spread/distribution of your data. Be sure to describe the variance of distribution and the concept of standard deviation as a measure of dispersion in your response.
  4. Conduct a scholarly search on the internet to find reported health statistics on the variable that you are measuring. For example, if you are measuring your total daily caloric intake, the American Dietetic Association would have health statistics you would need. Identify the source and the data collected. provide reference.
