you will complete an epidemiological research study report. Epidemiologists in the field often must develop recommendations to address specific health issues, and part of that process is analyzing what other communities and epidemiologists have already done to address the issues. In your epidemiological research study report, you will analyze a health issue, the population impacted, and the prevention strategies used. You will then develop a research question and determine an appropriate research design to further investigate the issue.
you will develop an epidemiological research study report on the study “A Novel Coronavirus Outbreak: A Teaching Case-Study,” provided in the Module Seven Reading and Resources page, which investigates a public health issue impacting specific populations worldwide. In your project, you will analyze the population impacted by the public health issue to accomplish the following:
Make connections between social and behavioral determinants and disparities.
Analyze the health issue to determine key epidemiologic principles and identify patterns and trends.
Examine the levels of prevention used in the research study.
For the conclusion to your research study report, you will develop a research question to further investigate the public health issue and population, and to determine an appropriate research design for investigating the research question.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course outcome.
Population: In this report section, you will summarize key elements of the research study and analyze the population impacted by the health issue.
Summarize the people, places, and times represented in the research study to provide context for your report.
Describe three social and behavioral determinants strongly associated with the public health issue in the research study. Be sure to cite specific examples from the research study to support your description.
Describe three known disparities associated with the health of the specific population. Be sure to cite specific examples from the research study to support your description.
Explain how the identified social and behavioral determinants relate to the disparities you identified and explain your reasoning.
Health Issue: In this section of your final project, you will analyze the health issue that is the focus of the research study. You will draw conclusions about the health issue by reviewing the research study and conducting outside research on the topic.
Describe the risk factors associated with the public health issue. Support your description with evidence from the research study and your independent research.
Describe the mode of transmission of the public health issue. Support your description with evidence from the research study and one example from your independent research.
Determine the incidence and prevalence of the health issue using the data from Table 1 of the research study to perform the appropriate calculations.
Tip: To calculate incidence, use the figures in Table 1, pp. 12–13, and assume that the global population during the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic was 7.821 billion or 7,821,000,000.
Determine the mortality rate of the health issue using the data from the research study to perform the appropriate calculations.
Use the figures in Table 2 on p. xiv, and assume the total number of confirmed cases from Table 1.
Interpret the odds ratio to determine the strength of association between the potential sources of exposure and the disease using the odds ratio given in Table 2.
Using your research and analysis, draw connections between the population and public health issue. Consider where you identified common elements, what you learned about the public health issue by studying the population, and what you learned about the population by studying the public health issue. In addition, consider the study’s suggestion of the most likely primary source of the outbreak.
Levels of Prevention: In this section, you will describe the prevention strategies the epidemiologists used in the research study. You will identify a strategy for each level of prevention and then differentiate between the strategies.
Describe a primary prevention strategy represented in the research study and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the health issue of the specific population. Provide one example of a primary prevention strategy from the case study or your independent research.
Describe a secondary prevention strategy represented in the research study and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the health issue of the specific population. Provide one example of a secondary prevention strategy from the case study or your independent research.
Describe a tertiary prevention strategy represented in the research study and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the health issue of the specific population. Provide one example of a tertiary prevention strategy from the case study or your independent research.
Explain how the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies differ in how they address the key factors impacting the health issue in the research study.
Conclusion: Now that you have analyzed the research study, you will develop a research question to further investigate the specific health issue and population, select an appropriate research design, and explain the importance of the research to the field of public health.
Using your analysis of the research study, develop a research question to further investigate the specific public health issue and impacted population.
Determine whether an observational or experimental research design would be more appropriate to investigate your research question. Be sure to justify your determination.
Explain the importance of further research for improving the quality of health from a global perspective. What is the potential benefit?
