Below are the results of a prospective cohort study that investigated the relationship between occupation (grocery store clerk versus convenience store clerk) and post-activity polypnea (difficulty breathing following exertion) in 1000 persons suffering from Post-acute COVID Syndrome. In the table below, E+ identifies grocery store clerks (the exposed group) and E-identifies convenience store clerks (the unexposed group).

Oxycontin is a drug used to treat pain, but it is well known for its addictiveness and danger. In a clinical trial, among randomly selected subjects treated with OxyContin, 52 developed nausea and 175 did not develop nausea. Among other randomly selected subjects given placebos, 5 developed nausea and 40 did not develop nausea. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of nausea is different for those on OxyContin than for those who are on placebo. Use the critical value method. Include a diagram of the distribution indicating important components of the question.
A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. A total of 406 men newly diagnosed with CHD were included together with 406 men of similar ages who did not have CHD. The risk of CHD (measured by the OR) was higher among men who were inactive or only moderately active (collectively called ‘inactive’) than among those who were physically active: (See attached image) Odds ratio for inactive men compared to active men= (299 x 136)/(270 x 107)=1.41Suppose there is no misclassification in these data.What would the observed OR have been... 1. If 20% of all the inactive men had been misclassified as active? 2. If 10 % of inactive cases had been misclassified as active?
Out of these associations between a potential exposure (risk factor) and an outcome (health condition or disease), identify the one that is most likely to be causal based on the "strength" of the association. Assume that you no nothing else about the factors and/or the outcomes. Please note: the values of some associations are hypothetical/imaginary, the associations are plausible (Hint: please review slide 16 of the slide deck for Module 8 and contextualize with in-class discussions.

Describe the ways in which human error can be viewed according to Reason (Reason, 2000) and the strategies that can be used to increase resilience according to the Swiss cheese model (Figure 14.6).
From the "Spurious Correlation: Definition, Examples & Detecting" article by Jim Frost, why spurious correlation is an issue when it comes to analyzing and interpreting public health data? How does it impacts public health? What is an example of spurious correlation? What is the variables being correlated, what the relationships being suggested is, why you think it is a spurious correlation, and what (if any) mitigating or confounding variables may be?
A case-control study was conducted to examine the risk factors for HPV infection among OB/GYN clinic patients. The researcher hypothesized that women with HPV cases will report a greater number of multiple sexual partners compared to controls. The existing literature indicates that cases (women with HPV infection) without delay tend to recall and report accurate information about their sexual partners. On the other hand, recall and report of accurate information about multiple sexual partners among controls may not be as clear. (1) Define the direction and the type of biases in the following examples. Choose only one answer for each question. This is study is liable to the following bias: a) Confounding b) Selection Bias c) Information Bias (2) The relationship between HPV infection and the number of sexual partners is likely to be:a) Can go either direction b) Under-estimated c) Over-stimated (3) The following are examples of bias except: a) Confounding…
3. Identify the variables (dependent/independent), and research design type (correlation/experimental) for the following studies: Septe 5 a) A study recruits participants and measures their levels of physical activity and self- reported stress levels. b) A research project investigates the impact of a new workout program on participants' body mass index (BMI). Participants are randomly assigned to either the new program or a control group. c) Researchers observe a group of individuals engaging in different types of exercise routines and examine their reported levels of happiness.

Compute most appropriate measure of central tendency and dispersion to report the variable Albumin level. Point- 2 Q. 3. (a) What is the appropriate statistical test to identify the significant difference between Gender groups and patients' Albumin level? (b) Write down the assumptions of the proposed statistical test. (c) Formulate null hypothesis & alternative hypothesis for such an association. Point-3
Most of the large cohort studies on the health benefits of habitually engaging in physical activity stem from self-reported physical activity data. However, self-reported information is subject to recall-bias and is likely to be an overestimation of the actual behavior. Therefore, many studies measure the intensity levels of physical activity via accelerometers (a small device that have the ability to capture intensity of physical activity). Which of the following would be an issue of the data gathered from accelerometers from the behavioral economics point of view? a. They primarily measure locomotor activity when worn over the hip (typical placement position), and so miss upper body movement. b. They cannot distinguish whether a person is carrying any weight (e.g., walking carrying a heavy bag expends more energy vs. walking with no load) c. They do not measure all types of activity (e.g. swimming, cycling) d. Participants change their behavior because they are being observed…
