• What were the major differences between the 1920s and the 1930s?
• How did the end of WWI affect the U.S. economy?
• Explain the relationship between Liberty Bonds, “Investing Culture”, Margin Buying, and the rapid appreciation of stock values in the 1920s?

• What effects did the Great Depression have internationally? Do you see any parallels today?
• After you post your narrative, reply to at least two other students comments. Explain why you agree, or better yet, find others that take a different position and explain why you disagree.
• make it a full page not including name or title.

Write a paper (2,000-2,500 words) in which you apply the concepts of

epidemiology and nursing research to a communicable disease. Refer to

“Communicable Disease Chain,” “Chain of Infection,” and the CDC website

for assistance completing this assignment.
Communicable Disease Selection
Choose one communicable disease from the following list:
Chickenpox
Tuberculosis
Influenza
Mononucleosis
Hepatitis B
HIV
Ebola
Measles
Polio
Influenza
Epidemiology Paper Requirements
Address the following:
Describe

the communicable disease (causes, symptoms, mode of transmission,

complications, treatment) and the demographics of interest (mortality,

morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable disease? If

so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.
Describe the determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.
Discuss

the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease

you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or

absence), and environmental factors. (The textbook describes each

element of the epidemiologic triangle). Are there any special

considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general

population?
Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collecting, data analysis, and follow-up).
Identify

at least one national agency or organization that addresses the

communicable disease chosen and describe how the organization(s)

contributes to resolving or reducing the impact of the disease.
Discuss

a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other

countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area?

Provide an example.
A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.
Prepare

this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style

Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not

required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric

prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the

expectations for successful completion.
Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

• Watch the Unit 5 Lecture. (Transcripts)
• Read the following scenario.

Setting the Scene:

Sherry is a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with autism and severe intellectual disabilities. Her Individualized Education Program (IEP) team met to discuss Sherry’s serious, self-injurious behavior of hand biting that has resulted in significant tissue damage requiring medical attention. Prior interventions attempted by the school staff were response blocking, physical restraint, and mechanical restraint (arm splints). An initial Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) conducted by the consulting Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) revealed that the apparent function of the hand biting was negative reinforcement in the form of escape from task demands. Based on this assessment, the BCBA developed a Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behavior (DRA) intervention in which Sherry was taught to use her hand to squeeze a stress ball when non-preferred demands were presented. The teacher and other individuals involved with Sherry were trained to allow immediate escape whenever Sherry squeezed the stress ball during instruction. In addition, instructional material was altered so that the learning tasks were easier with the goal of gradually increasing task difficulty. Baseline data was taken for 10-days and the DRA intervention was implemented on day 11. On day 21, the BCBA employed a reversal design in which the intervention was stopped to verify that it was indeed the intervention that was responsible for the behavior change.

Discussion:

• According to your readings, what are the six primary benefits of using graphs as tools to measure the effectiveness of interventions, and why are they important? Discuss two of the benefits that you feel are most relevant to the current case and explain your reasons for your choices.
• Based on your visual analysis of the data in the graph (above), was the DRA effective in reducing Sherry’s hand biting? Discuss the purpose of the reversal design and identify the type of reversal design reflected in the graph.

Guided Response Posts:

Respond to a peer’s primary post by explaining the benefits (purposes) of reversal/withdrawal designs and the risks.

Respond to a second peer’s post by discussing two specific ethical guidelines that are relevant in Sherry’s case.

Reading and Resources

Read the following:

Chapter 6 in Applied Behavior Analysis (3rd edition): “Constructing and Interpreting Graphic Displays of Behavioral Data” (pp. 124-131)

The purpose and benefits of the graphic display of data are introduced. The importance of the visual analysis of behavior data is explained, as are the various formats for the graphic display of data. Level, trend, and variability are discussed in terms of the visual analysis of graphically displayed data and the determination of intervention effectiveness.

Chapter 8 in Applied Behavior Analysis 3rd edition): “Reversal and Multielement Designs” (pp. 171-191)

Two experimental designs commonly used in applied behavior analysis (ABA) research are introduced. The reversal and multi-element (alternating treatments) designs are explained and advantages and disadvantages for their use are presented. An explanation of baseline logic (prediction, verification, and replication), as it relates to these experimental designs, is provided.

Chapter 16 in Ethics for Behavior Analysts (3^rd edition): “Conducting a Risk-Benefit Analysis”

Chapter 16 introduces you to the Risk-Benefit Analysis that is recommended in Code 4.05. The authors provide a detailed explanation of the purpose and process of this analysis.

Imagine that you are a victim of a property crime. The offender convicted of stealing your vehicle has been accepted into the work release program and will be leaving the local work release center (separate from the jail, but still under the direction of the corrections) to work every day. He will then be expected to return after work hours to sleep. Describe your concerns with this approach. Suppose that the offender completes his sentence and, due to the services provided, never reoffends.
