Current Epidemiological Studies: Critical Review

 

For your dropbox assignment, using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research and select three current epidemiological studies regarding risk factors that are associated with any health problem. You can also use the following websites to search for studies as they are often used as the major sources of information for health research and often report on the most current health problems affecting the United States and global populations:

 

 

Based on your research, create a report in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document addressing the following questions:

 

  • What were the criteria that you used to select these papers? (For example, only English language, peer reviewed articles, only a specific age group, only United States studies, etc.)
  • What were the types of risk factors studied in your chosen articles? (For example, environmental, socio-economic, behavioral, etc.)
  • Which study design was used for this study? Why do you think the researchers chose this specific study design? Provide examples from your research.
  • What are the proximate or underlying determinants of risk factors that are associated with any health problem for each study?

 

Answer the questions posted below in the Template for Assessment of Causality for Reviewing Epidemiological Studies, for each study. You should number each study, list the title, and state each question in the format it appears in the template.

Organizational Strategy******************************

A county health department wants to increase the number of Medicaid beneficiaries that participate in prenatal care. It knows that only 40 percent of the expectant mothers eligible for prenatal care fully use the benefit. Many of these target customers make only one or two prenatal visits and then drop out of the program. Most of these women visit the emergency room if they have problems during pregnancy, and also come to the emergency room when they are in labor.

 

  1. Define at least four questions you would need to ask in order to write a SWOT analysis.
  2. Write vision and mission statements for the county health department that provides services to pregnant women.
  3. Write at least four objectives for the department. In your objectives, try to address the problem presented in the scenario.
