Type 2 diabetes in children or Breast cancer
Order Description
III. Nature and extent of the problem
• Introduction, general description and what is known about causation—while demonstrating understanding of basic concepts of research design and statistical analysis
• Magnitude of problem (number of people affected) prevalence and incidence in terms of mortality, morbidity, disability or other relevant quality of life consequences (e.g., years of potential life lost) —while demonstrating understanding of basic concepts of research design and statistical analysis
IV. Descriptive Epidemiology: Person (Host) Factors (which, if any, of these factors are known or suspected risk factors)
• Biological factors
• Physical factors
• Social factors
• Behavioral factors
• Cognitive factors
V. Descriptive Epidemiology: Environmental Factors (which, if any, of these factors are known or suspected risk factors)
This section should begin with a summary of relevant place comparisons, including where applicable international variations, intra-national variations, urban-suburban-rural comparisons, and local variations and then address:
• Biological factors
• Physical factors
• Social factors
VI. Descriptive Epidemiology: Time Factors
• Secular Trends
• Cyclical Variations
• Seasonal Variations
• Short-term patterns
VII. Prevention Strategies
Demonstrate understanding of basic concepts of research design and statistical analysis and conduct independent research in community health—in this case, via the selection, summary and analysis of three high quality studies demonstrating proven or promising results for primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention. These studies should be summarized in a table with the following columns: citation, purpose, geographic setting, participants (number and demographics), design, outcome measure(s), intervention approach, statistical analysis methods, results, conclusions. Please only include randomized trials or quasi-experimental studies, and only include studies published in periodicals indexed in the National Library of Medicine. Organizing the information in a table is recommended.
Provide an overall assessment of the health determinants and health needs of individuals and communities—from an epidemiological perspective, given your topic focus. Support your needs assessment with documentation cited in earlier sections of your paper.
