Question Set 5
Imagine a “Sword in the Stone” has been placed under the Washington Square Arch, with an invitation to one who is worthy to pull it and take ownership (or something to that effect).
Ignoring the magical part, you set out to develop a measure of strength that could be used to evaluate the strength of incoming NYU students, so that they might attempt to pull the sword (bear with me here).
You begin with a dumbbell that has not been validated as a measure of strength and so we assume Sensitivity (Se) and Specificity (Sp) are both 0.50. You will assess strength among NYU students but have no basis to estimate the distribution of dumbbell lifting strength so we assume prevalence is 0.50.
Instructions: Adjust the R web-app according to the instructions below. [https://nyupsychometrics.shinyapps.io/RShinyApp]
a) You want to identify individuals who are exceptionally strong, but you’re at NYU and you estimate the prevalence of exceptional strength is only about 10% within the NYU student research pool.
1) Do you care more about the specificity or the sensitivity of the dumbbell, and why?
2) Adjust prevalence in the R-app to match the % of strong students. How is predictive power affected?
b) Your dumbbell is very heavy and it ends up very few students can lift it at all.
1) Do you think this is a useful outcome measure for research on strength? Why?
2) What adjustment(s) would you need for this to be more useful as an outcome?

First you started with identifying a research topic and developing a research question. Then you searched for 5 peer-reviewed research articles to help answer your research question.
Now, you will demonstrate your understanding of research methods and the ability to distinguish different study features. All of your five empirical sources should help you answer your research question even if they use different study designs, measurements, and sampling.
The rough draft is worth 25 points. You will earn points based on meeting the criteria indicated in the grading rubric below.

Synthesize the evidence across your five sources in support of the conclusions. Address any evidence that contradicts each other and explain why you think that is.
Describe at least one strength and at least two limitations of the conclusions you can draw for your research question based on your five sources and explain why. Think about what information is still missing or what biases you are not sure have been addressed yet.
Wrap up your synthesis so that it ends with a clear takeaway based on prior sections.

Task:
Briefly describe the program and its stated goals. Using the information available on the website, evaluate the intervention on the basis of cost effectiveness. You may also comment on the results posted under the respective meta-analysis. Please discuss other potential criteria for evaluation, and whether you believe the Washington State legislature should move forward with the intervention under consideration. Finally, you should conclude with a reflection on your selected intervention’s impact on public health and health equity. Your paper should be no more than five double-spaced pages in length, and will be graded on the basis of clarity, coverage of the required parts specified above, and accuracy based on available data.

Read the Commentary (9/29/16): “An Intriguing Link Between Police Shootings and Black Voter Registration”. This is an example of an ecological study. For your post, identify: what question is the study being discussed examining? What is the outcome and define how it is measured? What exposures are being examined (there are a few)? What did the study demonstrate? What are your reactions to this study? Please post one original post and one reaction to your peer for full credit.
here is classmate post: ”This ecological study examines how Black Americans are impacted by police shootings in the United States by state, and why some states have higher rates than others. The study found that there is an “over-representation” ratio for fatal police shootings of Black Americans. This was measured by comparing the percentage of Black Americans killed by the police to the overall Black population in an area. In just a few examples throughout the country, there was a disproportionately high number of Black Americans killed by the police compared to the general Black population. The exposures examined are: eligible Black Americans registered to vote, the black-to-white incarceration ratio, median household income, income inequality according to the Gini index, and rates of those college-educated. Data was collected for each indicator regarding the specific area being studied. The study demonstrated that higher voter registration rates among Black Americans go hand in hand with a lowered over-representation ratio in the area. Voter registration ranked #1 as a determinant of fatal police shootings of Black Americans in this study. Though voting came first, income inequality and higher education are also shown to be important factors as well. The findings of this study are quite surprising for me, as I did not think voter registration impacts much when it comes to police violence and fatalities for Black Americans. I think this information could be useful in advocating for more funding to increase voter registration for those eligible in communities with a large Black population. This could also be a call to those looking to change the high incidents of police violence locally and register to vote. A lot more research should be done on this topic, as well as a lot more advocacy could be put into fighting efforts of voter suppression by the government because voting effects a lot more than just who ends up in office.”

How to support your partner through Diabetes (Because Amar is the only one that

How to support your partner through Diabetes (Because Amar is the only one that has diabetes, so resources for his wife to help him)- please ensure the resources can be found in Athens, Georgia in the USA. This should be about 5 pages. You will only be doing the task for person 4 which is on page 22 and is highlighted.
The Case: Amar and Devi are Asian-Americans in their early-50’s (they came to the U.S. years ago from India). They have been married for 25 years and have grown children who live in California. Both work full-time, Devi as an computer information specialist with the city government and Amar as Athens Clarke County police officer, and they each have benefit packages that include health insurance. Amar has just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. He does not know what to do to cope with the disease. Amar and Devi need to know what is available to help at their worksites and in the community to manage this diagnosis.
This is the case which takes place in Athens, Georgia.
