Identify ethical issues that could occur in your research study of (obesity and healthy eating) and consider how you will avoid them. Discuss how ethical standards will protect any human subjects who participate in your research study, and include information from the Belmont Report that supports your thoughts (remember, this is a hypothetical research study that you will not conduct).

This assignment should be written in two pages (page count does not include title and references pages). Follow APA style to format your paper (Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spacing, etc.).

 

Professional Context

As a Master’s level health care practitioner you may be expected to  create budget and implementation plans to ensure that economic  opportunities for the organization are rolled out successfully and can  be sustained over multiple years. Additionally, it is important to be  able to envision how an economic initiative could be used for different  contexts and purposes to keep the investment a viable and positive asset  to your organization or care setting.

Scenario

The senior management members have sent you their thanks and notes  on your feasibility study for your proposed economic initiative. They  have determined that your proposal has the potential to benefit the  organization in both the short and long term. The last step in this  process is to complete a thorough implementation plan for your proposed  initiative. This plan will need to include a budget of relevant expected  material, staffing, and capital costs over the first five years of the  initiative (see the Resources for some examples and guides about budget  planning), as well as projected earnings from the initiative for the  care setting. You must also include a plan and timeline for rolling the  initiative out, an analysis of how it may impact other aspects of the  care setting, an explanation how it can remain viable in the face of  environmental changes, and sufficient relevant supporting evidence.

Instructions

In your 7-8 page plan, you have been asked to be sure to address the following. Note:  The bullet points below correspond to grading criteria in the scoring  guide. Be sure your work is, at minimum, addressing each of the bullets  below. You may also want to read the scoring guide and the Guiding  Questions: Implementation Plan for a New Economic Opportunity document  to better understand the performance levels that relate to each grading  criterion:

• Create a budget for relevant expected costs and earnings or  benefits over the first five years of your proposed economic initiative.
• Propose a plan to roll out your economic initiative that will  enable your care setting to successfully implement it in an ethical and  culturally equitable way that will ensure achievement of quality or  service improvements.
• Analyze how your proposed initiative, once implemented, may  impact other aspects of your care setting and ways in which negative  impacts could be mitigated.
• Explain strategies you have integrated into your proposed  economic initiative that will ensure it can remain a viable asset to  your care setting in the face of dynamic environmental forces.
• Justify the relevance and value of the quantitative and  qualitative economic, financial, and scholarly evidence you used to  support your recommendations throughout your plan.
• Communicate your business and implementation plan in a logically  structured and concise manner, writing content clearly with correct use  of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
• Effectively support your plan and recommendations with relevant  economic data and scholarly sources, correctly formatting citations and  references using current APA style.

Example assignment: You may use the assignment example,  linked in the Resources, to give you an idea of what a Proficient or  higher rating on the scoring guide would look like.

Requirements

• Length of paper: 7-8 double-spaced, typed pages (not including title page and reference list). Your paper should be succinct yet substantive.      
  • Be sure to include a separate title page and reference list.
  • Your completed budget plan should be included as an appendix within your final submission.
• APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style.
• Resources: Cite a minimum of 3–5 authoritative  and scholarly resources. Be sure to include specific economic data and  support as part of your cited resources.

Your Theory of Cheating Behavior – Is it just personal or scientific?

Post your detailed theory of cheating behaviors in monogamous, close romantic relationships (or infidelity within marriage).

Stay objective as you would in a Scientific Study.  Do not include your or another individual’s personal experiences.

Utilize the Scientific Process of Observation, Theory Development, Specific Hypotheses, and Hypothesis Testing.

• In other words,
  • Describe what is cheating.
  • What predicts cheating?
  • What are the underlying theoretical causes or conditions that promote cheating?
  • How cheating behaviors can be changed or controlled?

Include in your post

• Is your theory is scientific?
  • If so, specifically how can you test and confirm your theory?
    • If not, explain why and be specific.

The principles of epidemiology focus on public health and the measurement factors of interest for health professionals to detect associations and determine population risk. Zika, HIV, Influenza, infant morbidity, and mortality are examples of public health concerns that epidemiologists track, trend, and report. It is important to note that although some populations may appear similar geographically or demographically, when tracking epidemiological trends, populations may appear to vary significantly between states or even between counties within those states.

This Assignment has two parts:

• Part 1: PowerPoint Presentation
  • Submit by Day 7.
• Part 2: Executive Summary 
  • Prepare an Executive Summary of your findings regarding the impact of social determinants of health on health outcomes. This summary will be posted in the Discussion Doard on Day 2 of Week 5 (next week), and will serve as your Discussion response prompt for Week 5.

To Prepare:

• Select two counties in the same state that are not similar demographically to focus on. You may want to consider the county you live or work in as one of the two counties.
• Access the National Environment Public Health Tracking Network from this week’s Learning Resources.
• Enter the following parameters:
  • Content Area: Select Heart Disease
  • Indicator: Select Mortality Rate
  • Measure: Select Age Adjusted Death Rate
  • Geographical Level: Select State by County (Data Smoothed)
  • Select a state for your data.
  • Select the most recent year available
  • Select all races/ethnicities available
• Compare the heart attack mortality rate/100,000 people for the two counties you selected.
• You can view the data as a map, chart, or table. The row that has the data of interest will allow you to select the view you want.
• Select the table view, and the click the down arrow to download the table.
• Open the table, and save an Excel file (.xlsx).
• Review the data you obtain for the two counties you selected.
• Reflect on the results that you obtain for different ethnic groups within the counties you selected.
• Access the map of uninsured rates by the U.S. Census Bureau (2015) provided in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Review and reflect on the uninsured rates for the congressional districts for the counties you selected. 

Part 1: PowerPoint Presentation

Prepare a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

• Explain the trends you observe between each of the counties you selected.
• Research and explain the social determinants of health for heart disease for the counties you selected. Be specific, and provide examples.
  • You can use the Excel sheet you saved during your data search on one of the slides. Write 2-3 comments about the data.
  • You may also choose to do research using online databases, like the CDC and WHO, or by speaking with local health professionals. Be sure to reference and cite your sources accordingly.
• What resources for addressing heart disease may be lacking in one county compared to the other?
• Describe whether the number of insured persons over the last 5 years has increased or decreased for your counties.
• Do health outcomes over this same time frame correlate with this trend? Explain your response.
• Is there a correlation between the levels of health insurance coverage, healthcare costs, or healthcare access and the health outcomes you observed?
• As a healthcare leader in the state you selected, recommend at least one program that might improve the health of the population, and explain why. Be specific, and provide examples.

Part 2: Executive Summary

• Create a 2- to 3-paragraph summary of your findings that addresses the following:
  • Be sure to include how the social determinants of health (SDOH) have impacted the health outcomes of the members of the population you researched, as well as the impact to economics perspectives.
  • Use the questions you addressed in the PowerPoint as a guide.
