Topic Leadership Styles in small business Company iMiTs ArtModule 3 - CaseOBTAINING THE DATA FOR THE RESEARCH CONTEXTAssignment OverviewIn this Case Assignment, you will be reading several articles and sources about sampling, about participant recruitment and interaction, and about managing the relationship between research participants and researchers. You will then be asked to think about how these issues apply to your project and your research questions, and to develop an appropriate sampling plan for your study taking all these issues into consideration.As the course progresses, you will be making a series of decisions in which you will increasingly specify the structure of your project. These decisions build on each other in critical ways. However, you are not locked into previous decisions if you subsequently decide you need to change direction. As before, you have an opportunity to go back and revise and/or extend the previous sections completed in previous modules. If you do revise earlier sections, please include them and indicate what changes you have made to them. Case grades given for the first four modules will be advisory rather than final. Your ultimate grade will be based on the completed methodology at the end of the course.

Objective:Epidemiological Profile Outline: Report. For this assignment, you will create a Epidemiological Profile Outline: Report The purpose of the document is to provide a set of guidelines to help profile writers produce integrated epidemiologic profiles and advise them concerning how to interpret epidemiologic data in ways that are consistent and useful in meeting the planning needs of both prevention and care programs. You are encouraged to choose a specific disease and use it as basis for this project. The paper will be 8-10 pages long. More information and due date will provide in the assignments link. ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES (20 points /10%): Students will create an Epidemiological Profile Outline: Report for the Disease of your choosing. The purpose of the document is to provide guidance to help writers create integrated epidemiologic profiles and advice on how to interpret the data in ways that are consistent and useful in meeting the planning needs of both prevention and care programs for specific diseases. Integrating prevention and care data should help to streamline the work of health department staff, Disease planning groups, and planning councils by reducing duplicated effort and by promoting consistency and comparability of data and terms in prevention as well as in care planning You need to read the article (in the additional weekly reading resources localize in the Syllabus and also in the Lectures link) assigned for this week and develop a 8-10-page paper reflecting your understanding and ability to apply the readings to your Health Care Setting. Each paper must be typewritten with 12-point font and double-spaced with standard margins. Follow APA format when referring to the selected articles and include a reference page. EACH PAPER SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: Introduction (20 points / 25%) Offer an abstract that provide a brief outlook of the protocol and explaining in your own words what is meant by Epidemiological Profile Outline: Report. 2. Your Epidemiological Profile Outline: Report. (50 points 50%) The following outline contains the basic content areas to include in an epidemiological profile: Cover PageTable of ContentsExecutive SummaryIntroductionData Selection ProcessesData DimensionsBody of Report (Findings)Limitations and Data Gaps Acknowledgements List members of your epidemiological workgroup, advisory council, evidence-based program workgroup, and any other key stakeholders. Provide a brief overview of what the epidemiological profile is, why it is important, and how it can be used. Provide a brief list of key findings from the profile. Describe your community. Consider including demographic information such as population size, age distribution, gender, and any socioeconomic background information that may be available (educational attainment, employment, etc.). Include important historical, cultural, and contextual information that might be relevant to the data included in the profile. Consider describing your Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) project. Describe SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and how developing an epidemiological profile is a component of SPF Step 1: Assess Needs. Describe your epidemiological workgroup. This can include the number of members, agencies, organizations they represent; how often they meet; where they meet; and any other information an interested person may want to know. Describe how you collected or gathered the data included in the profile. Discuss how your workgroup decided which data sources to include in the profile and which data sources to leave out. Provide a list of data sources, describing each source. Examples include a youth tobacco survey, emergency room data from the local hospital, alcohol-related motor vehicle crash data from local law enforcement, and community perceptions collected during a focus group. For each data source, include: A brief description of the data source The department, agency, or organization that provided the data How frequently the data are collected and the years that data are available for Any limitations of the data, which might include a small survey response or inadequate arrest reports Provide a list of indicators, such as “Past 30-day Alcohol Use Among Adults” or “Number of Lung Cancer Deaths.” Describe the criteria you need to prioritize substance misuse problems. These might include: Size or magnitude Trends over time Relative comparisons (for example, one community to another, one age group to another) Seriousness/severity Economic cost This may include narrative, tables, graphs, charts, and maps. It is also helpful to incorporate a combination of formats. For example, use narrative to summarize findings in a table. Make sure that tables and graphs are clearly labeled. Alcohol Consumption/use indicators Consequence indicators Risk and protective factors Tobacco Consumption/use indicators Consequence indicators Risk and protective factors Drugs Consumption/use indicators Consequence indicators Risk and protective factors Discuss indicators for which you do not have data and consider including strategies or plans for addressing those data gaps. Discuss limitations of the data you do have. For example, maybe you have data that you cannot sort by gender or by age group. e. Conclusion j. Appendices, which might include: Names of State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup members Data collection instruments used Large, detailed tables Glossary of terms Mortality or hospitalization data: ICD-9/ICD-10 codes (if the tribe uses these data sources)
