Week Six – Correlations Exercises

(Week Six – Correlations Exercises)

Correlations are used to describe the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables. A correlation between two variables is known as a bivariate correlation. In this module the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation will be used when running a correlation matrix. The Pearson correlation coefficient ranges from a value of -1.0 to 1.0. A correlation coefficient is never above 1.0 or below -1.0. A perfect positive correlation is 1.0 and a perfect negative correlation is -1.0. The size of the coefficient determines the strength of the relationship and the sign (i.e., + or -) determines the direction of the relationship. The closer the value is to zero the weaker the relationship and the closer the value is to 1.0 or -1.0 the stronger the relationship. A correlation coefficient of zero indicates no relationship between the variables.

A scatterplot is used to depict the relationship between two variables. The general shape of the collection of points indicates whether the correlation is positive or negative. A positive relationship will have the data points group into a cluster from the lower left hand corner to the upper right hand corner of the graph. A negative relationship will be depicted by points clustering in the lower right hand corner to the upper left hand corner of the graph. When the two variables are not related the points on the scatterplot will be scattered in a random fashion.

Using Polit2SetB dataset, create a correlation matrix using the following variables: Number of visits to the doctor in the past 12 months (docvisit), body mass index (bmi), Physical Health component subscale (sf12phys) and Mental Health component subscale (sf12ment). Run means and descriptives for each variable as well as the correlation matrix.

Follow these steps using SPSS:

1.Click Analyze, then correlate, then bivariate.

2.Select each variable and move them into the box labeled “Variables.”

3.Be sure the Pearson and two-tailed box is checked.

4.Click on the options tab (upper right corner) and check “means and standard deviations.” The exclude cases pairwise should also be checked. Click continue.

5.Click OK

To run descriptives for docvisit, bmi, sf12phys and sf12ment do the following in SPSS: 

1.Click Analyze then click Descriptives Statistics, then Descriptives.

2.Click the first continuous variable you wish to obtain descriptives for (docvisit) and then click on the arrow button and move it into the Variables box. Then click bmi and then click on the arrow button and move it into the Variables box. Then click sf12phys and then click on the arrow button and move it into the Variables box. Then click sf12ment and then click on the arrow button and move it into the Variables box.

3.Click the Options button in the upper right corner. Click mean and standard deviation.

4.Click continue and then click OK.

Assignment: Answer the following questions about the correlation matrix.

1.What is the strongest correlation in the matrix? (Provide correlation value and names of variables)

2.What is the weakest correlation in the matrix? (Provide correlation value and names of variables)

3.How many original correlations are present on the matrix?

4.What does the entry of 1.00 indicate on the diagonal of the matrix?

5.Indicate the strength and direction of the relationship between body mass index and physical health component subscale?

6.Which variable is most strongly correlated with body mass index? What is the correlational coefficient? What is the sample size for this relationship?

7.What is the mean and standard deviation for bmi and doctor visits?

Part II(Week Six – Correlations Exercises)

Using Polit2SetB dataset, create a scatterplot using the following variables: x-axis = body mass index (bmi) and the y-axis = weight-pounds (weight).

Follow these steps in SPSS:

1.Click Graphs, then click on Legacy Dialogs, then click “Scatter/Dot”.

2.Click “Simple Scatter” and then click “Define.”

3.Click on weight-pounds and move it to the Y-axis box and then click on body mass index and move it to the x-axis box.

4.Click OK.

To run descriptives for bmi and weight do the following in SPSS:

5.Click Analyze then click Descriptives Statistics, then Descriptives.

6.Click the first continuous variable you wish to obtain descriptives for (body mass index) and then click on the arrow button and move it into the Variables box. Then click weight-pounds and then click on the arrow button and move it into the Variables box.

7.Click the Options button in the upper right corner. Click mean and standard deviation.

8.Click continue and then click OK.

Assignment:

1.What is the mean and standard deviation for weight and bmi?

2.Describe the strength and direction of the relationship between weight and bmi?

3.Describe the scatterplot? What information does it provide to a researcher?

Strategic Needs Assessment Framework

(Strategic Needs Assessment Framework)

When you are engaged in program planning, a needs assessment helps to determine the actuality and details of a specific problem. It also addresses how the target population views the problem—which is critical since their perspective and motivation to change are essential for the success of the program.
In this week’s video, the necessity of appraising a community’s assets as well as its challenges is evident as Dr. Donna Shambley-Ebron and Dr. Rebecca Lee discuss needs assessments. What additional insights have you gleaned from the Learning Resources that you intend to apply to your program?
For this Discussion, you develop a framework for completing a needs assessment for your program. To do this effectively, it is essential to begin with the program and the population you have identified and then develop an appropriate approach for conducting a needs assessment. This also leads to consideration of the types of data needed and the data collection methods to be used.

To prepare:

  • Consider      aspects of your problem and population (breast cancer in African American women      in the USA) as you review the information on needs assessment presented in      the Learning Resources.
  • How      would you conduct a needs assessment? What considerations would influence      your decision making about this process?
  • What      would be the most efficient and effective methods for collecting data?      What challenges could be encountered?

By tomorrow Wednesday 12/19/18 2 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with at least 3 references from the list of required readings below. Include all headers as numbered below:

Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:

1) Discuss how you would conduct a needs assessment for your selected problem and the target population. Why is this approach appropriate for the problem you have identified? Support your response with evidence from the literature.

2) Describe your proposed data collection methods and evaluate any challenges you might encounter.

Assignment 2: Mock Individual Assessment (Rough Draft)

(Mock Individual Assessment (Rough Draft))

MUST BE A NEW AND ORIGINAL WORK, AND NOT USED BY ANOTHER STUDENT. ALL POINTS MUST BE CLEARLY COVERED AND IN APA FORMAT

 

Create a mock forensic assessment report based on a patient in a selected vignette. Provide your diagnostic impressions based on the DSM-5 criteria. Name the file M4_A2_LastName_LASA_Draft.doc and submit the paper to the M4 Assignment 2 Dropbox.

 

Your instructor will provide feedback by critiquing the rough draft so that you can make corrections and additions to your final submission due in M5 Assignment 2 LASA.

For this assignment you are to:

    • Improve your interview and referral questions for the case vignette you selected in M1 Assignment 3.

Use the case vignette you selected in M1 Assignment 3 for this assignment.

Next, create and document a set of mock interview questions and potential referral questions to ask your client and yourself. You can determine the questions in relation to the case vignette that you choose.

You might also want to consider some of the example referral questions listed below.

Analyze all the information provided in the case vignette and begin to formulate a hypothesis as to why the individual needs referral.

Example Referral Questions:

      • As a forensic mental health professional, what factors need to be considered in your psychological testing for the forensic assessment report?
      • What behavioral observations do you make about the client by reading the case vignette?
      • What are your assessment options in working with the client?
      • What standards and accepted psychological tests might you apply to your client in forensic settings? Select from the instruments you researched in M3 Assignment 2 RA.
      • How will you recognize and evaluate your client’s offender behaviors associated with malingering and deception?
      • What theoretical orientation do you want to use in this case for your treatment recommendations?
      • What is the case scenario you have selected?
      • What is the reason for referral?
      • What is the purpose of the forensic assessment and report?
      • What is the nature of the problem presented in your selected case vignette?
      • What is the context in which the forensic assessment report will be used?
      • What is the background of your client? What are the symptoms displayed by your client and the significance they have in this case?
      • What is the mental status of your client? Be sure to elaborate on every major component addressed in the mental status examination.
      • What interview type and approach did you use with your client?
      • What tests are appropriate to use in your forensic assessment report? Identify one intelligence test, one objective personality test, and one projective test.
      • What collateral information will you use in the process of the evaluation?
      • How will you present your impressions of the client?
    • Write a Forensic Mental Health Professional Individual Assessment Report.

Use the Forensic Mental Health Professional Individual Assessment Report template (you can download the template from this link).

Evaluate and interpret the information provided to you in the case vignette that you have selected in M1 Assignment 3. Synthesize the information you collected to create a Forensic Mental Health Professional Individual Assessment Report. Your findings should be in a report format.(Mock Individual Assessment (Rough Draft))

In a 10- to 12-page report, include only the following components:

      • Reason for Referral: Explain the objective of your case vignette analysis, clearly bringing out the aspects or reasons that motivated you to carry out the study.
      • Presentation: Create mock interview data and collateral information (you are to identify the questions to ask in the interview). Provide a synopsis of the interview. Provide data to support the mental status of your client, based on your forensic assessment report and the mental status components you have identified.
      • Current Life Situation and Background Information: Explain the problem provided in your selected case vignette using the interview and mental status data. How does the data relate to the background of your client and your behavioral observations?
      • Objective Testing: Identify the assessment instruments you would recommend to evaluate the client and explain the rationale for your recommendations. Describe the objective tests you have selected and their use. How did you apply these tests to your selected case vignette? Based on your study, what is your analysis of the symptoms displayed by your client? What ethical and multicultural issues do you need to address? You will apply what you have learned from M3 Assignment 2 RA into this section.
      • Provide your diagnostic impressions based on DSM-5 criteria. What is your principal diagnosis? What is your secondary diagnosis? Are there other conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention to consider?
      • Conclusion and Recommendations: What is your hypothesis based on the mental status examination, the interview, personality tests, and symptoms analysis? Explain your hypothesis and substantiate it, using instances from your case study. Discuss your results with conclusions and recommendations.

The final Forensic Mental Health Professional Individual Assessment Report should contain all the assigned components and the corresponding information.

Your final deliverables for this module are:

  • Selected case vignette
  • List of interview/referral questions
  • Assessment template
  • Final assessment report

Your report should be approximately of 12–15 pages.

Financing Health Services (4-6 Pages APA Format)

(Financing Health Services)

Title: Strategies for Optimal Financing of Health Services

In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, effective financing is paramount to ensure the accessibility, quality, and sustainability of health services. This brief explores key strategies for financing health services within the framework of the United States healthcare system.

One critical strategy involves the promotion of public-private partnerships (PPPs). Collaborations between governmental bodies and private healthcare entities can optimize resource utilization, enhance service efficiency, and introduce innovations. PPPs offer a platform for shared responsibilities, mitigating financial burdens on either sector and fostering a more resilient healthcare ecosystem.

Transitioning from traditional fee-for-service models to value-based payment structures is another crucial approach. Value-based payment models prioritize patient outcomes, encouraging healthcare providers to focus on preventive care, coordinated treatments, and patient satisfaction. This shift aligns financial incentives with the delivery of high-quality care, ultimately improving the overall health of populations.

Comprehensive health insurance programs play a pivotal role in achieving universal coverage. By reducing financial barriers to healthcare access, these programs ensure that individuals receive the necessary financial support for medical services, promoting equity and inclusivity within the healthcare system.

Furthermore, leveraging technology for financial efficiency is imperative. Integration of electronic health records, telemedicine, and digital billing systems streamlines administrative processes, reduces errors, and lowers operational costs. Technological advancements contribute to optimizing financial resources, enhancing overall service delivery, and improving the patient experience.

Despite these strategies, challenges such as budget constraints and resistance to change persist. Mitigation involves stakeholder engagement, thorough financial analyses, and gradual transitions, allowing for adjustments and fostering acceptance. In conclusion, a dynamic and multifaceted approach to healthcare financing, incorporating public-private collaborations, value-based models, health insurance, and technological integration, is essential for the ongoing enhancement of health services in the United States.(Financing Health Services)

Epidemiology Essay

(Epidemiology Essay)

Read each article carefully. Re-read your chosen set and ask, “How are these articles similar?” “What do they have in common?” “How are they different?” “How are they not alike?”  Make some written notes about each article in your chosen set.  Compose a basic outline for your paper, including paragraphs for  Introduction (ending in a thesis statement, one sentence that lays out what your paper will do), Background, Multiple body paragraphs containing the bulk of your information, Conclusion.

In writing your paper, follow these guidelines. 1) Begin your paper by introducing the problem being investigated. 2) Give a detailed description of the study (why it was done, who conducted it, who the subjects were, what the results showed, and what the authors concluded from the results). 3) After describing the article, you must use critical thinking to analyze it. Critical thinking about epidemiological studies involves determining whether the evidence gathered and described by the authors is appropriate to answer the questions they are trying to answer and whether this evidence supports the conclusions eventually drawn by the authors. This is where you compare and contrast one study to the other study of the set you have chosen. 4) The last portion of the paper should state your conclusions regarding your analysis.

You must include  at least   two  references showing where you derived your information and those references should be cited with-in the text of your paper.  You will also probably want to cite some information from your textbook. (Epidemiology Essay)

After putting your paper together, you will want to condense/summarize the most important information into an abstract, which is a brief/short summary of the paper.

Your completed paper should be 5-7 double-spaced pages in length (including title page, abstract, and reference page) and  conform to the APA standard format.

Childrens Ward Consultant Essay

(Childrens Ward Consultant Essay)

Question description

You are a consultant in a children’s ward for a long-term care hospital facility geared towards ages 3 to 10 years old. The facility directors ask you to construct an indoor/outdoor play center and activity schedule to allow those in early and middle childhood to maintain and develop their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth while recovering from their injuries/illnesses.

Justify for the facility’s stakeholders the use and placement for each piece of play equipment, toy, and furniture. Make it clear when and why you would need to divide some of the space to separate children in early childhood from those in middle childhood. Be sure to specify:

  1. How does each piece of play equipment, toy, and furniture contribute to the four types of development (e.g., fine-motor movement helps physical growth)?
  2. How does each piece facilitate social-emotional bonds of children with their families?
  3. How does each piece improve coping and adjustment to long-term care?

Paper Requirements:(Childrens Ward Consultant Essay)

  • Your paper should be seven- to nine-pages (not including the required title or reference pages) and double spaced.
  • The paper should be based on references to scholarly materials (rather than on introductory textbooks, popular website writings, or musings, for example). To that, your paper should synthesize current, relevant research on your topic from at least five scholarly sources. Cite and reference these sources according to APA style.
  • Include an introduction that provides a clear statement of your position on the topic, a body that discusses the implications of possible solutions for the project under consideration, and a conclusion regarding how best to manage the issue (i.e., your informed opinion on the issues raised).
  • Format your entire paper according to APA guidelines.

The paper must demonstrate what you have learned about current issues related to human development. Your paper is expected to have depth and offer a thoughtful analysis on the topic. The most common mistakes in writing an essay are (a) simply summarizing the topic and not analyzing it or discussing your views and (b) failing to relate the subject to the broader context of restorative justice, as discussed in class and as found in the readings.

Adequately including the broader contexts includes, for example, considering how your research might yield a different approach to restorative justice in the United States.
