KWL (what do you Know, what do you Want to know, what do you want to Learn) :
As we get started in this class take a minute to tell me: What do you already know about statistics, what did you learn about statistics, and what do you want to learn more about in statistics?
Case Study: A 25-year-old presented to the labor and delivery unit with complaints of uterine cramping and lower back pain. The client denied any vaginal bleeding and had a history of preterm birth at 32 weeks (about 7 and a half months) gestation with her last pregnancy. The baby from that pregnancy is three years old has no developmental issues. The client’s gestational age is 30 weeks (about 7 months). She is O+, and all other lab values are normal. No evidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI’s).
(Group Beta Strep is missing from the labs and most often is obtained at 35 – 37 weeks (about 8 and a half months) gestation. Without this information, it is often determined to treat the patient anyway, to protect a premature baby from the risk.)

EVIDENCE BASE IN DESIGN
When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.
In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

* Technical Aspects
Provides necessary medical and scientific information to understand the issue.
* Public Policy
Describes current and proposed changes in public policy/law.
* Arguments For and Against
Include a summary of the arguments in favor of and opposed to specific interventions, techniques, or products and a discussion of underlying ethical principles. Discuss the public policy with two additional argumentative paragraphs- one discussing the in favor of and one paragraph discussing the opposing argument
* Conclusion
Expresses your personal opinion regarding the importance of the topic and the strength of the pro and con arguments.
Additionally, you must include:
* Topic sentences and Paragraph Transitions

Clinical Case Report
Part 2: Case Description and Conceptualization
Part 2 of the clinical case report assignment should be in APA style (title page,
references, etc. but does not require an abstract). This part of the case report will likely
be 6-7 pages, without references. It should include:
(1) The case, with provisional diagnoses (already completed for the paper proposal but
likely modified based on my feedback and any other client information you find helpful in
conceptualization below). See above for guidelines about an effective case. (around 2
pages)
(2) A case conceptualization, to include risk and maintenance factors in the client's
diagnosis(es): (around 4-5 pages)
(2a) Should include a range of etiological factors, based on class readings and
discussions (i.e., cognitive model, memory, emotion, neurobiology,
social/contextual factors),
(2b) These etiological factors should be tied specifically to the case description
(that is, don't speak only generally of risk factors, but how this manifests for the
particular client). In some places (e.g., neurobiology), you may need to use some
conjecture, based on the literature. That is OK. However, your case should
include sufficient detail to be able to relate several risk factors to the
conceptualization.
(2c) Should include discussion of risk factors for, AND maintenance of, PTSD
and/or related symptoms
(2d) Should be integrative, as all risk and maintenance factors intersect (e.g.,
environment affects biology, social context influences both; don't just list
etiological factors)
(2e) Should consider culture and intersectionality of client.
(2f) Should include references to literature (in APA style). NOTE: Please avoid
excessive use of quoted text, instead summarizing/paraphrasing when possible.
Quoted text should be limited to points in which you think the initial wording is
absolutely necessary to convey the author's point, and, in many papers, does not
need to be used at all.
Grading Rubric for Clinical Case Report Part 2: Case Description and
Conceptualization (75 points)
____/22 Case description. Student provides detail on client's background, traumatic
experience(s), symptoms and presenting problems, impairment/distress, and within this
description, sufficient detail to support the case conceptualization.
____/35 Case conceptualization. Student describes risk AND maintenance factors
in the client's diagnosis(es), including a range of etiological factors (i.e., cognitive
model, memory, emotion, neurobiology, social/contextual factors and culture and
identity). These factors are tied specifically to the case description, when possible
and are integrative (i.e., intersections among etiological factors are discussed).
____/9 Incorporation of empirical research. Empirical research and course materials
are incorporated effectively to advance arguments and are cited appropriately in-text.
____/9 Grammar, style, mechanics. Paper is in APA style, includes references, is
proofread, and contains proper grammar, flow, transitions, and headings as appropriate.
As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.
Discuss the differences and similarities between quantitative, qualitative and mix methods research studies.
Please include 400 words .Attached you can find the rubric to follow up

Social Determinants of Health: A Concept Analysis
Format Outline(s)
II. Introduction (
Using Walker and Avant)
a. What is the concept selected-state and define the terms
b. Aims or purposes of this analysis-why are you doing the analysis?
c. Discuss all possible uses of the concept briefly-how is the concept used in different contexts, examples and then how are you using it for this paper
d. Determine the defining attributes-regardless of where it exists, what are the common identifiers that the person has this characteristic
e. Identify a model case-Use the attributes you’ve identified and highlight them in a case. A case that is hypothetical, from a text, or that you have experienced in practice.
f. Identify a borderline case and contrary case-what is a case that is something like the model case, but misses some attributes
g. Identify antecedents and consequences-what happens before the concept instance is identified; what happens as a result of acquiring it?
h. Define empirical referents- how do you know that what you are seeing is really it? How would you measure it? Or know that you are reserving it?
