Cohort study

I would choose to study a cohort of fifty, 30-year-old inmates of both genders who would be released after 15 years during the study. A longitudinal study would allow me to be able to visit and converse with them, get information about how they live their lives behind bars and also study how they would cope with their return to society. According to Novak, 2012 “Longitudinal studies look at age cohorts or individuals over time” (p. 41). With how fast technology has been improving and growing in…

Throughout my first course at WGU, Professional Leadership and Communication in Healthcare, I was taught about working styles and how I work best with others. I also became aware of the different modes of communication which has given me a better insight into my interactions and conversations with my friends, family, coworkers, and other.

The participants in the research were derived from three longitudinal cohort studies located in Chicago. Those studies were the Minority Aging Research Study, the Rush Memory and Aging Project and the Religious Orders Study. The Minority aging group was older blacks, the Rush Memory group were older whites and the Religious Orders was a mixed group with 7% being black. The participants…

Prevalence is a point-based estimate, so although at the time of the survey they may have Tb, by the time the study started they may have recovered. Including these people would overestimate the effect as there will be more ‘cases’ than in reality. Alternatively, the results could be underestimated as it is likely that more people will have developed Tb since the survey was conducted. Furthermore, using a point-based estimate like prevalence to obtain cases means that the data will only be valid…

1. What is a reversal design? Why is an ABAB design superior to an ABA design? a. The reversal design is a single case design in which the treatment is introduced after a baseline period and then withdrawn during a second baseline period. (Page 222) b. The ABAB design is superior because a single reversal is not extremely powerful evidence for the effectiveness of the treatment because the reversal in behavior might have come because of random fluctuations. It is also may not be ethical to end…

Furthermore, the fact that all the participants were male, means the findings of this study cannot be generalised to the population at large (Supplee et al., 2011). But as the authors state, this study provides a platform for future research, setting a precedent, not only for further longitudinal research in this area, but also for observing SRS within a natural…
