The number represented by alpha is a probability. The values of 0.10, 0.05, and 0.01 are the ones most commonly used for alpha. The level of significance of a hypothesis test is exactly equal to the probability of a Type I error. A Type I error consists of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is actually true. The smaller the value of alpha, the less likely it is that we reject a true null hypothesis. A larger value of alpha, even one greater than 0.10 may be appropriate when a smaller value of alpha results in a less desirable outcome. There is not a universal value of alpha that should be used for all statistical tests. In medical screening for a disease, consider the possibilities of a test that falsely tests positive for a disease with one that falsely tests negative for a disease. A false positive will result in anxiety for our patient, but will lead to other tests that will determine that the verdict of our test was indeed incorrect. A false negative will give our patient the incorrect assumption that he does not have a disease when he in fact does. The result is that the disease will not be treated. Given the choice, we would rather have conditions that result in a false positive than a false negative. In this situation, we would gladly accept a greater value for alpha if it resulted in a tradeoff of a lower likelihood of a false negative (Taylor, 2015)

Re:Topic 5 DQ 2

 

 

 

I have come across an example of an article (“Quiz”, rather) that asks participants “What Is More Likely to Kill You? Some of the comparisons are cheetahs (1) to falling out of bed (600); vending machines (2) to volcanoes (200); falls (8.8/100,000) to accidental poisonings (11.6/ 100,000), and icicles (100/ year) to lightning (51/ year). This article does use a few reputable sources- the falls to accidental poisoning ratios reference the CDC (which is an acceptable source for the American population. Of note, this article was obtained on the internet with the question “What is more likely to kill you?” The article caters to a worldwide audience, not just to Americans. The world hosts many different interfering independent variables that are not considered).
In some cases, the author makes a generalization about (the whole of) what is likely to kill you, by comparing 2 completely different populations. For example, the comparison between icicles and lightning cites an article in the British newspaper Telegraph regarding Russian icicle fatalities (reported at 5 in one year; not 100 per year as the “quiz” purports) compared with lightning fatality statistics reported by the (US) NOAA. Not only are the sources statistically incompatible (regarding reputability and sampling techniques used), but the separate populations are not further compared for all variables. For example, statistics are not presented on lightning strikes in Russia, or icicle-related deaths in America (and from an Alaskan, trust me, they occur); nor does the article obtain a sample of any other population in the world. However, the story makes generalizations regarding the larger population from isolated occurrences and samples, and presents flawed “statistics” to a world-wide-web audience.
Speaking of audiences, Wong & Hockenberry et. al (2005) stated that falls and trauma-related accidents kill the most toddlers and pre-schoolers per year; not accidental poisonings as the author Perry maintains (Perry cites the CDC, for adult American deaths). As a geriatric nurse, I also believe that falls kill more elderly people than poisonings. I’m assuming that the article makes assumptions that the audience is American and middle-aged, judging by the way that “facts” are presented that are relevant to this audience only. It fails to account for the population or audience as a whole. Furthermore, generalizations that are made do not hold true for all age-groups (or even geographical) categories of the “population”, or audience

International Comparison of Data

/in /by

The World Health Organization’s “Statistical Information System” is an interactive database that allows you to compare health indicators for multiple countries. For this Assignment, you will compare data from the two countries (Turkey and Pakistan) you selected for the Discussion with the United States (i.e., compare the same countries (Turkey and Pakistan)  in both the Discussion and the Assignment).

In preparation for this Assignment, consider the value of using standardized quantitative health measures or indicators to compare information internationally. Examine the definitions of indicators presented in the Learning Resources, including pages 55–62 of the Shi and Singh (2015) textbook.

Use the WHO website found in this week’s Learning Resources to examine country statistics and profiles. Create a table to record data related to three health indicators for the three countries (i.e., the two (Turkey and Pakistan) you have selected to compare with the United States, for a total of three countries) as illustrated in the Week 6 Example document (located in the Learning Resources).

Once your table is complete, compare the data and analyze it in light of the information presented in this week’s Learning Resources and the research you conducted for the Discussion. What insights does this comparison give you about health and disease within the U.S. health care delivery system and the systems of the two (Turkey and Pakistan) other countries you selected?

The Assignment

Write a paper in which you:

·         Identify the two (Turkey and Pakistan) countries that you are comparing with the United States.

·         Define the three health indicators you have selected for your analysis and explain why you chose them.

·         Include the table you created to record and compare your data.

·         Summarize the results of your comparison, sharing at least two insights that you gained through this analysis of health and disease in the United States and your two selected countries.

General Guidance on Assignment Length: Your Assignment should be 2–3 pages, excluding a title page and references. Refer to the Week 6 Assignment Rubric for grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use the rubric to assess your work.

 I need one page only. NO APA format. about nursing homes.

  1. What are your upcoming week’s specific learning goals and objectives?
  2. What is your upcoming week’s detailed schedule at your community practice experience placement?
  3. Were there any placement items/issues that occurred this week that you feel your instructor should be aware of that are private in nature and are more appropriately shared here than in the discussion board with your classmates?
  4. Give a brief description of an objective you worked on this week. Make sure to cite at least one reference showing how your objective relates to the public health knowledge you’ve studied during this course or the public health course. You may choose to reference your e-text, journal articles, or videos you’ve studied during these courses or you may find an outside reference on your own to further enhance your public health knowledge and practices.

Remember, your journal entries are an important aspect of clinical learning as they serve to help you reflect upon and get the most out of your community practice experience. Therefore, your journal entry should include the who, what, where, and when of your community practice experience. Remember, this should simulate a dialogue that would normally take place face-to-face with your community practice experience instructor.
