Directions: Solve the question 1st, then place the answer in the appropriate blank.

In Drosophila, cinnabar eye color (c), vestigal wings (v) and plexus wing veins (p) are all autosomal recessive mutations linked on chromosome 2. A true-breeding cinnabar, vestigal winged female was crossed to a true-breeding plexus vein male. The wild type F1 females were mated to a plexus, vestigal winged male with cinnabar eyes and the following progeny were obtained.  

Please solve the problem and complete the following fill-in the blank questions.

a. What is the gene order on chromosome 2?  

b. What is the distance between cinnabar eyes and vestigal wings?  

c. What is the distance between vestigal wings and plexus veins?  

d. What is the distance between cinnabar eyes and plexus veins?  

e. What is the interference in this cross?  

1. In a person without Type 2 diabetes and with a 10-year ASCVD risk determined to be 15% with two other risk factors, what do the 2018 cholesterol guidelines suggest?
   1. The person may be withheld statin therapy because his 10-year risk is <20%
   2. The person should be considered for moderate intensity statin therapy
   3. The person is recommended for high intensity statin therapy
   4. None of the above
2. Which of the following is NOT true regarding the Pooled Cohort Risk Score (also called the ASCVD Risk Estimator)?
   1. It is not appropriate for use in persons with pre-existing myocardial infarction
   2. It predicts the lifetime risk of ASCVD in persons aged 20-59 years
   3. It includes the prediction of total cardiovascular disease including heart failure
   4. It allows for the prediction of ASCVD in persons with diabetes
   5. All of the above are true

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer among men and women in the USA. You are hired as a manager-planner by one of the hospitals. The organization is interested in establishing a community outreach program promoting smoking cessation and lung cancer screening. The Board of Directors requested your services in processing the data collected through the prospective cohort study among male and female population visiting local gym. The data set is attached. Please use Excel or Epi Info to process the data. Chose the correct epi tool, provide a graphic representation of the processed data set and offer a conclusion as to the causative relationship between smoking and death. List the potential biases and provide a recommendation as to the study validity and reliability. Inform the Board of Directors (and your peers) about your findings.

True or False

1. Prevalence refers to the proportion of participants with a risk factor or disease at a particular point in time

2. Censoring occurs when the event of interest (disease) is observed on every individual, usually due to time constraints.

3. Relative risk is an ideal form of measurement for a retrospective cohort study design because it allows researchers to recruit both individuals with the outcome of interest and individuals without the outcome of interest, then match individuals from each of the respective groups to individuals of the other group to determine if a specific exposure caused the outcome of interest.

4. The incidence rate is computed by taking the ratio of the number of new cases of disease to the total number of person-time units available

5. The prevalence of a disease depends on the incidence of the disease as well as the duration of the disease.

Public Health Problem II: Examine the association between health provider burnout and hospital re-admissions. Hypothesis: Health care provider burnout increases the likelihood of hospital re-admissions for patients

This will be a retrospective cohort study to determine if there’s a correlation between provider burnout and an increase likelihood of hospital re-admissions for patients
we will measure instances of patient readmissions with a group of hospital providers that are staffed appropriately and with an abundance of resources vs a group of providers who are overwhelmed, understaffed and under resourced

Describe potential threats to validity. Describe what techniques you will use to minimize each threat. Be sure to delineate the potential impact of each threat on your observed results
- Nondifferential misclassification of the exposure
- Nondifferential misclassification of the disease
- Confounding
- Selection bias
- Information bias
- Generalizability
