Level Of Risk

In fact, it was not the behavior change project that changed my thought process but rather my family member’s diagnosis and the timing was perfect for this paper. Over the course of the past 5 weeks or so, I have moved from precontemplation to the preparation stage and will be moving into the action stage in the coming month. I have implemented some new healthy behavior in regards to breast cancer prevention and I have plan of action such as talking with my physician. I will carry out the above screening tools that were mentioned as well as continue to lean on my family for support. Something that I have learned through this process is that fear can be a major motivator. Regardless of where it comes from there needs to be some form of motivation. If my family was perfectly healthy and I felt fine, I would feel like there was no reason for me to even consider breast cancer prevention. This experience has made me realize that it is important to consider all aspects of my own health. Just because I feel fine now does not mean that I will be fine in the future. Exactly as my family member mentioned, prevention is key. Women need to take the time to support a healthy lifestyle, perform self-exams, and get regular mammograms. This is something that I will hold onto and hopefully be able to implement into my nursing practice and educate when I

An innocent child is standing in a candy store and looking at all his favorite options from which to choose. He slowly reaches for the bag of M&Ms, and he does not know what all the chemicals in that bag will cause him. The M&Ms have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) causing carcinogens in them called food dyes. These food additives help the food products stay vibrant and eye catching but America’s youth does not know what the consequences are when you eat these products. Children think they are nice and colorful but they do not know what lies behind the wonderful rainbow of colored M&Ms in that bag. That is why The United States needs to ban food color additives to make our nation healthier. The main points on food dyes are the problems they cause, the counter argument against them and the steps the country can take to solve these problems.

Safety checks should be carried out to eliminate the risk of putting the safety of people attending a sporting event at risk.

The use of pesticides is an important decision that thousands of communities face each year. Nobody likes dealing with mosquitos and the diseases they bring so using chemicals and pesticides is an option but with other consequences. Mosquitos carry West Nile Virus that affects the city of Genericville every year with 50 cases projected this year in the city and two fatalities as well. On the other hand, the chemicals proposed for controlling the mosquito population has its own risks. The pesticide Malathion is also dangerous to people if they come in contact with it before it degrades. The potential for citizens of the city being exposed is almost a certainty

Assess the risk in terms of likelihood and impact (be sure to explain your assessments). High risk assessments should be given a weighting of 5, medium a weighting of 3

The issue of risk scenario carries immense importance for most of the hospitals that are part of the healthcare setting. However, there is not only one scenario that can affect the hospitals but

Ground Rules: Participation in the focus group is voluntary, that it is all right to abstain from discussing specific topics if you are not comfortable, that all responses are valid-there are no right or wrong answers, to please respect the opinions of others even if you do not agree, to speak as openly as you feel comfortable, and avoid revealing very detailed information about your personal health.

Flexible and inexpensive, focus groups consist of six to ten participants (Hartman, 2004, p. 408). Additionally, a moderator guides the discussion among its panel members that allows researchers to observe real-time verbal responses and nonverbal cues (Hartman, 2004, p. 402; Cooper & Schindler, 2014, p. 160). Focus groups moderators also have the ability to introduce new ideas to gain a greater understanding of concerns from respondents (Hartman, 2004, p. 402). However, a concern with focus group is the lack of anonymity due to the face-to-face participation.

There were 10 different single-sex focus groups with 6 participants in each group. The groups were set up this way to enhance understanding of the topic and to promote communication within the group. This study clearly defines the roles of researchers in data collection and analysis of the data. The focus groups were 45 minute sessions with two undergrad senior students conducting the group. One student was in charge of using the topic guide to start the discussion, and the other student recording the events of the discussion. The phenomenon under study took place in two different settings. College students met within their institution and students from universities met off-campus. The data obtained in this study were analyzed appropriately. The researchers in the study used a Framework Analysis Approach. In this approach, 2 coders independently separated data into key themes and subthemes. Differences in interpretation of the data were discussed between the two coders. Goundry et. all\ (2013) stated, “a third researcher was available in case of disparities, but none were noted.” During the analytic phase of the study no biases were

This article represents a focus group type of qualitative research. According to Qualitative Research Consultants Association (2015), in focus group qualitative research, a group of individuals who share a need, life circumstance, or habit relevant to the research issue(s) at hand are led in a discussion by a modulator. The focus group discussions often include between two to ten respondents, and are often held face to face. They can also be conducted remotely through videoconferencing, teleconferencing, or

While Children must not be exposed to harm in the realization of their rights under Article 31, some degree of risk and challenge is integral to play and recreational activities and it is necessary component of the the benefits of these activities A balance is needed between, on one hand, taking action to reduce unacceptable hazards in children’s environments such as, closing local streets to traffic, improving street lighting or creating safe boundaries for school playgrounds and on the other hand informing, equipping and empowering children to take the necessary precautions to enhance their own

The goal of this qualitative study was to investigate the influences of acculturation, SES, and cultural health beliefs on Mexican-descent women's preventive health behaviors. The researchers conducted interviews among 5 focus groups which consist of women with different levels of acculturation and SES. According to those interviews, Mexican-descent women who were less U.S. acculturated and had lower SES were less likely to seek breast cancer screening, less likely to know the danger signs of breast cancer, and less likely to seek immediate care for health-related problems. The major reason why women did not participate in breast cancer screening was that they felt healthy and did not have breast cancer symptoms. Mexican-descent women believed

Determining the level of risk should be broken down into 4 categories: low, medium, high or very high. A consequences scale should also be created. Different levels of risk bring on different level of consequences.

The use of focus groups as a qualitative and interpretive method of enquiry comprises of a number of strengths and weaknesses.

In the initial SIB projects, philanthropic investors have assumed most of the risk of the projects. Little or no government payment has been required unless the projects meet their performance targets. One of the main reasons SIBs have spread so rapidly is because of their model and approach. They posses a “money-back guarantee” structure that has been very attractive to governments. In the long run, it may be necessary for governments to share more of the failure risk if SIBs are not to reach their full potential. The pool of capital available and the number of policy areas where it will be possible to convince investors to take on all of the risk are likely to be limited.
