In a hypothetical case-control study, researchers are interested in exploring the activities and behaviors of individuals at Northwestern University that may be associated with increased risk for testing positive for COVID-19.

a. What inclusion and exclusion criteria would you use? Why?

b. Define who is considered a case. How might you identify cases?

c. Carefully define who is in the control group. How might you accurately identify control individuals?

d. For the case-control study, how would you collect information on activities and behaviors?

e. Discuss how cases and controls in your study might differ, besides disease status, and how this might bias the results.

Values in the table below are approximate. Use these to answer the following questions and to compare health impact of the two diseases.

Recall that R-naught is the average number of additional cases that directly result from a single person bringing it into a fully susceptible community.

Below, compare in the impact between the two diseases for each of these disease characteristics on public health. For each question, use only the information provided in the table.

a. What does the R-naught suggest about the relative public health risk for the two diseases?

b. What do the differences in the incubation period suggest about potential challenges in clinical and public health responses to the two diseases?

c. What do the differences in the contagious period suggest about potential challenges in clinical and public health responses to the two diseases?

d-e. What are two other important aspects of the disease, besides access to vaccination, that would contribute to different health risks for these diseases?

A hypothetical study investigated periodontal disease and oral hygiene behavior. The outcome of interest was the presence or absence of periodontal disease, and the exposure was current oral hygiene practices such as frequency of brushing and use of dental floss. Participants were enrolled during a regular dental visit where they were given a full dental screen and then completed a short questionnaire.

a. What type of a study design is this?

b. What are the advantages of using this design to study this question?

b. What is the major limitation of this design for showing that poor dental hygiene causes periodontal disease?

c. How might the patient’s knowledge of having periodontal disease bias the results?

Nurses interact with technology on a daily basis. For this discussion, please address each of the following aspects of the discussion:

The members of Colleen’s group are inpatients. What bearing, if any, should this have on your suggestions above for Colleen in addressing member behavior? How might this affect Colleen’s overall leadership style for this group?
