5. A study is planned to assess the effect of a new surgical intervention for gallbladder disease. One hundred patients with gallbladder disease will be randomly assigned to receive either the new surgical intervention or the standard surgical intervention. The efficacy of the new surgical intervention will be measured by the time is takes a patient to retun to normal activities, measured in days. Identify the type of study proposed and indicate its specific strengths and weaknesses.

Using a theoretical framework from engineering sciences, the researcher believes that the physical set up of hospital rooms impacts rates of hand washing. After prolonged engagement, she observed the healthcare providers working on a medical/surgical floor of a hospital. As the result of her data analysis she purposefully selected 6 physicians, 10 nurses and 12 nursing aids to conducted in-depth interviews with. Subsequent to the analysis of that data she then purposefully selected 5 medical residents, 10 more nurses, the radiographers assigned to the portable imaging machine, and 15 patient transporters to conduct interviews with. She uses the data she collected and analyzed to develop a survey that she sent to 100 randomly selected hospitals across the northeast. What research design was used in this study? a. Mixed Methods b. Exploratory c. Convergent d. Explanatory
A sociologist wants to investigate the question, "Is there a relationship between texting during class and grade-point-average (GPA) among high school seniors in a large district?" Which study design is most appropriate? Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester, obtain each student’s GPA from the appropriate admissions and records office. Compare the GPA of students who routinely text during class to the GPA of students who do not text during class. Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class.

In a study of 301 Hispanic women living in San Antonia, Texas, one variable of interest was the percentage of subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). IFG refers to a metabolic stage intermediate between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes. In the study, 24 women were classified in the IFG stage. The article cites population estimates for IFG among Hispanic women in Texas as 6.3%. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate the population of Hispanic women in San Antonio has a prevalence of IFG higher than 6.3%? Use 95% confidence level and the p -value method to form your conclusion. The computed z score was 1.193. Find the p-value.

A seven-year medical research study reported that women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer as were women whose mothers did not take the drug. a. This study compared two What were the populations? b. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or an experiment? c. For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy, a sample of 3980 women showed that 63 developed tissue abnormalities that might lead to Provide a descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities. d. For the population of women whose mothers did not take the drug DES during pregnancy, what is the estimate of the number of women out of 1000 who would be expected to have tissue abnormalities? e. Medical studies often use a relatively large sample (in this case.3980).Why?
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in the U.S. in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumers ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a different proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at 5% level.
28. To examine the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on population mental health, researchers in the UK studied changes in adult mental health before and during the lockdown by asking participants in the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) to complete a 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) in April, 2020, and compared with these participants' data for the same questionnaire back in August, 2019. The appropriate test for this scenario would be: Group of answer choices One-sample t test Independent-samples t test Related-samples t test z test One-way ANOVA

Of the 30 newly accepted juveniles into juvenile hall, half were placed in the regular program and half were placed in the vitamin and supplements program. After 12 months researchers documented the number of infractions that occurred for each of the 30 students and wanted to assess if the program worked.

6.6.4 To study the difference in drug therapy adherence among subjects with depression who received usual care and those who received care in a collaborative care model was the goal of a study conducted by Finley et al. (A-21). The collaborative care model emphasized the role of clinical pharmacists in providing drug therapy management and treatment follow-up. Of the 50 subjects receiving usual care, 24 adhered to the prescribed drug regimen, while 50 out of 75 subjects in the collaborative care model adhered to the drug regimen. Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the difference in adherence proportions for the populations of subjects represented by these two samples.
