Public Health Epidemiology 1 pg Discussion APA W/2 REFERENCES
TOPIC Assessing Causality and Implications for Public Health Policy
In 1965, Sir Austin Bradford Hill proposed guidelines for assessing causality from epidemiological studies. His intention was not for these guidelines to be used in a rigid manner but rather to be used generally to help in the assessment of disease causation. In recent years, other causal models have been developed, including the Rothman sufficient-component cause model and the web of causation.
To prepare for this Discussion, use the Walden library to find an epidemiological research article published in the last 3 months that uses one of the models of causation discussed in the Learning Resources. Make sure the epidemiological research article you choose clearly uses a model of causal inference that you can discuss. Not all articles do this, so choose carefully! The best options are review articles or articles that clearly address an epidemiological causal inference model in their title and/or abstract.
Respond to the following questions:
What is the epidemiological causal inference model used by the authors? How did they apply the model to the association they studied?
Do you agree with the author’s choice of causal model? Why or why not? Provide evidence to support your assessment.
What are the implications for public health policy, given the evidence for causality presented in the article?
Make sure that your discussion focuses on evaluating your article using the entire causal model that the authors used (as opposed to using one or two criteria). Be sure to cite the article you reviewed using proper APA formatting, and include in-text citations and references as appropriate.
Boris talked about how certain life experiences can shape our behavior. How do these experiences shape our thoughts? How would a cognitive behavior theorist interpret the impact of negative life events in terms of how people might respond behaviorally? Is the power all in the thoughts? What are your thoughts on “The Power of Positive Thinking”? For example, there are some people that lead vision board workshops and believe that if you dream/think it/believe it and think positively about things we can make them happen, is there a cognitive behavioral component to these types of activities/workshops? Explain your answer-cite research. APA format, 150-200 words, references.

HN377 Unit 2: DISCUSSION
One of the jobs of human service professionals is to explain complicated theories to clients using simple language. See how well you can practice this. Remember, you are all practicing together; write to each other with ideas. Read the case below and respond to the questions in paragraph form (for your main post).
Case of Alex and Sally
You are working as a child protection caseworker for the state and have been concerned about one of your foster families. Earlier in the week, Martha (foster mom) called in distressed because baby Alex (10 months) did not seem to be engaging in social activities or learning much and she fears that he is “withdrawn and delayed”. She complained that his foster sister Sally (16 months) was much more adventurous and sociable. Both children have been evaluated by a child psychologist and were found to be within acceptable rates of development.
You have an appointment with Martha to discuss her concerns. How will you explain the influences of genetics and the environment to help her understand individual differences? What advice would you give to Martha to help her foster growth for Alex?
Instructions
Informatics in the Clinical Setting
Conduct an interview with someone in an informatics role in a clinical setting. Then, compose a 4-5 pages paper discussing the following components:
Role description and education level required for the role.
Describe their views on how their role impacts patient safety and improves the quality of patient care.
Describe the Human Factors faced in the role and other challenges.
Express insights gained from the interview.
Research and discuss the impact of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicators and The Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals in your clinical setting. Describe how these governing agencies impact delivery of direct patient care.
Research, discuss, and identify the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) utilized in your clinical setting. Be sure to get the perspective of your selected informatics professional during your interview.
On a separate page, cite all sources using APA format.
Use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources.
This handout will provide you the details of formatting your essay using APA style.
You may create your essay in this APA-formatted template.
Reflect upon two concepts that you learned in this course.
· What are the concepts? What insight or ideas did you gain from learning each of these concepts? Were there aspects of the concepts that you would challenge?
· What is the importance of these concepts to public health? How will you use this new wisdom in your current or future career?
· Optional: Offer feedback on how the course and/or facilitation of the course can be improved.
Reflection is a mental process that challenges you to use critical thinking to examine the course information, analyze it carefully, make connections with previous knowledge and experience, and draw conclusions based on the resulting ideas. A well-cultivated critical thinker raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems. (Paul & Elder, 2008)
In order to earn maximum credit, the comment should be more than your opinion, and more than a quick “off the top of your head” response. Be sure to support your statements, cite sources properly, cite within the text of your comments, and list your reference(s). The response must be a minimum of 250 words.
