Prep Assignment for Part 1: Epidemiology Due: Tuesday, 9/22 by 10:15am on Canvas   Overview The overall goal of this assignment is to apply the concepts learned regarding epidemiological study types by having you design your own studies. You will use this worksheet to write a short paper on epidemiology for Part 1 of your Cancer Portfolio.   Step 1: Do a little research online to find out what lifestyle factors or environmental exposures, if any, are thought to be linked with your assigned cancer type.  List them below, and note your sources. Note: age and genes are NOT lifestyle/environmental exposures.   Cancer type: Colon Cancer (Colorectal cancer)     Lifestyle Factors or Exposures:     Source(s):   Step 2: Using the questions below, design two epidemiological studies to test the link between one of these lifestyle/environmental factors and your cancer type. If your cancer type does not have any known or suspected lifestyle or environmental exposures, think of something that might be a risk factor (there doesn’t need to be any prior evidence supporting a link; jut use logical reasoning) and design your studies to investigate it.   What lifestyle factor or environmental exposure will you be investigating?       What is your predicted correlation?       Design a Prospective Cohort Study to answer your question  Be specific and precise and answer each part of the questions. You may write a short paragraph or use bullet points to answer each question.   How will you recruit people to be in your cohort study? How many people will you need to recruit?  How do you ascertain this?  (Hint:  You will need to know what your cancer incidence rate is- *see below – in order to reasonably answer this question. Use your incidence rate to explain your reasoning.       What factors will you track within your cohort?  Hint:  a good study would attempt to account for obvious confounding variables.       How long will your study last? Explain your reasoning.         Design a Prospective Case-Control Study to answer your question Be specific and precise. You may write a short paragraph or use bullet points to answer each question.   Who will you recruit to be in your case-control study and how will you go about it? How many people will you need to recruit (again, think about incidence rate)?       For a case-control study, what types of retrospective questions will you ask the participants in the study? Hint:  a good study would attempt to account for obvious confounding variables.            How might the issue of recall bias affect your interpretation of your results?  In your answer, be sure to clearly illustrate your understanding of recall bias.             Comparing study design (cohort or case control) pros and cons How will Recruitment and Retention differ between your prospective cohort and your retrospective case-control study? Discuss the pros and cons for your two types of studies.     Will one type of study have less Potential Biases than the other? Why?     Will one type of study have a higher cost than the other? Do a brief Cost Comparison taking into account sample size and length of study, and discuss whether either or both seem logistically doable or not.         *Incidence rates are a measure of how rare a disease is within a population. They are usually expressed as some number per 100,000 people, or sometimes as a percentage of the population. If your cancer type is very rare, then you will need to have a very large sample size. For example, if your cancer type occurs in 4 out of 100,000 people, you’ll need a sample size of at least 1 million people to follow, in order to see 40 cases. You’ll also need to tailor your sample size to the population from which you will be recruiting subjects; some countries have higher incidence rates for certain types of cancers. If you are recruiting from the US population, use the US incidence rate; if you are recruiting from a different country, use the incidence rate specific to that country.

Using what you have learned about your topic from your literature search, you are working towards formulating a research purpose and question. Note that in the Learning Resources for this week, the language of qualitative research is incorporated into how the research purpose and question is formulated. Here are some basic do’s and don’ts. Quantitative (Don’ts) Qualitative (Do’s) Predict Examine differences, effects, or impact Correlate Analyze Explore Understand Describe Variables Indicators Measures Experience Meaning Essence Narrative Hypotheses Broad, open-ended questions For example, in the ongoing scenario for each of the weeks of this course, the qualitative research question is formulated based on: DO: The purpose of this study is to understand the narratives of childcare and support in families in impoverished communities.   DO: What is the meaning of a “well-behaved child” to early childhood caregivers in impoverished neighborhoods? While as in this example, the research question is formulated based on quantitative information DON’T: The purpose of this study is to examine the demographic and family factors that predict the use of childcare services in impoverished communities.   DON’T: What are the differences in early childhood social skill acquisition between children that do receive childcare services and those that do not? For this Discussion, you will examine qualitative research as it relates to qualitative design considerations. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Learning Resources and the Fundamentals of Qualitative Research Methods: Developing a Qualitative Research Question video and consider the basic guidelines for qualitative research design. Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources and search for a qualitative research article. (Note: This article should be the research article you are using for your Major Assignment 1.) Review the qualitative research article you found and identify each of the components of the research design and consider what is present and what is missing. Identify what the authors did to document positionality, reflexivity, and bias. Transform your notes from your preparation work into three paragraphs and post the following: A brief statement of the purpose and primary research question the article addresses An assessment of how thoroughly the research design was presented, including what was missing An assessment of the extent of the researcher’s presentation of positionality, reflexivity, and bias Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.

Do you think Harrison has Autism Spectrum Disorder? Yes No Why? Give reasons for why you chose the way you did. Consider the following factors in your reasons: Theory of Mind Harrison’s play behavior His parent’s separation here are the evidences so you can make decision : 1. the email conversation  Hey Jackie, Oh my goodness, what a week! I wish you were here, it’s been so upsetting. We got a referral to a psychologist from our family doctor and she came and tested Harrison and said he has autism! How ridiculous! I know a friend of a friend’s son who has autism, but he has some very challenging behaviors that are nothing like Harrison’s. Harrison is so shy and he does have some quirky habits, but he doesn’t have autism! He gets very clammed up when strangers are around and he was like that with the psychologist. I thought Harrison was just a late bloomer, but the doctor wanted to run a few other tests. I really didn’t think much more of it and I definitely didn’t think we’d be handed such a serious diagnosis. I’m so worried about what this means for Harrison. Anyways, I didn’t like this psychologist and so I’ve asked for a second opinion. Harrison is a little late with his speech development, but Eddie was the same. I even told them about the funny things Eddie used to do when he was little, imaginary friends, and all sorts! I told them that Eddie grew out of them and that Harrison would do the same, but they didn’t want to listen to what I thought. Other news, since the separation Dennis and I are trying to remain on civil terms, but we are both still so angry that we can hardly talk without fighting. I know the boys miss their Dad, but it is definitely better this way. We try to make sure that the impact on them is minimal, but it’s just so hard. I think perhaps Harrison has been affected by it more than Eddie and that explains a lot of his shyness and reluctance to socialize at daycare with new children. I’ll call you at the weekend to talk more and find out your news. Love Nell x x x 2. the interview with his brother  a.  what is it like having Harrison as your brother ?  Harrison is fun and I’m his favorite person! He doesn’t really like playing with people he doesn’t know. He’s shy. His favorite toys are cars. He doesn’t like racing them with me and hates it when I make loud vrooooooom noises. He likes to line them up when we are finished and he gets mad at me if I mess them up. b. Tell me more about what happens when u try to play with Harrison? Harrison doesn’t talk to or play with people he doesn’t know. He just pretends like he doesn’t hear them! He talks to me though! Harrison hates it when I shout or do anything loud. He gets real upset and yells. c. Do you think Harrison understands when you are feeling happy or feeling sad?  Yeah, but he doesn’t like it when you’re sad. I cut my finger yesterday and it was bleeding everywhere. I was crying because it hurt so much. Harrison saw then got upset, but then he just walked away back to his cars. 3. Harrison day care report : Name: Harrison Day: October 8, 2015 What he ate: (yogurt, blueberries, cheese sandwich) Harrison had the same lunch he eats every day and still refuses to eat any vegetables or try any other foods. Play: Harrison is still not playing with the other children, I’m sure this will come with time. He seemed happily occupied with his cars which have been brought in from home. He has been more settled at daycare since having the cars. Harrison got very upset when the fire alarm went off in the building and it took us a long time to calm him down afterwards. Other notes: Harrison is still very new at daycare and settling in is taking him a little while. He seems to be more comfortable than last week, though still very shy. He has taken a shine to one of our workers, Louise, so she is spending more time with him to try to help him settle and join in. 4. interview with baby-sitter: a. describe your afternoon babysitting Harrison and Eddie? Harrison doesn’t really like it when his mom goes out. He gets quite upset. He’s better now than he used to be, now that he knows me a bit more. But it’s taken a while for him to trust me. Harrison doesn’t really want me to play with him. I mean he’s happy playing with his cars and his brother. Sometimes he’ll come and sit on the sofa while Eddie and I read a book. b. what is like when u talk to Harrison? Harrison doesn’t really talk very much. He does seem to understand though. I hear him talking to his brother and Mom sometimes – he’s just a quiet, very shy kid. c. How is Harrison’s eye contact?  Harrison won’t hold eye contact for very long and he’s always holding his head down when you try and take a picture. He’s the complete opposite of Eddie who’s always posing for the camera! 5. Sally Anne Test :  Evergreen Center for Psychological Evaluation Patient’s Name: Harrison Lowe Age: Four Sex: Male Referral date: July 1, 2015 Test administered by: Doctor Juan Damingo Date tested: August 11, 2015 Test description: Sally Anne Test Behavioral observation: Following the conclusion of the Sally Anne Test, doctor Damingo asked Harrison, “After Sally returns, where will she look for her marble?” Harrison correctly answered, “in her own basket,” accurately depicting comprehension of Sally’s perspective and demonstrating theory of mind.
