18 Nov complete an epidemiological research study report

For your final project, you will complete an epidemiological research study report based on the provided research study, “Salmonella in the Caribbean.” (attached)

Epidemiologists in the field are often tasked with developing recommendations to address specific health issues, and part of that process is analyzing what other
communities and epidemiologists have already done to address the issues. In your epidemiological research study report, you will analyze a health issue, the
population impacted, and the prevention strategies used. You will then develop a research question and determine an appropriate research design to further
investigate the issue.

Guidelines for Submission: Your final project should be 4–6 pages, double spaced, with one-inch margins, 12-point Times New Roman font, and APA formatting
and citations.

For the conclusion to your research study report, you will develop a research question to further investigate the public health issue and population, and to
determine an appropriate research design to investigate the research question.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course outcome (shown in brackets).

I. Population: In this section of your report, you will summarize key elements of the research study and analyze the population impacted by the health
issue.

A. Summarize the people, places, and times represented in the research study to provide context for your report.

B. Describe three social and behavioral determinants strongly associated with the public health issue in the research study. Be sure to cite
specific examples from the research study to support your description.

C. Describe three known disparities associated with the health of the specific population. Be sure to cite specific examples from the
research study to support your description.

D. Explain how the identified social and behavioral determinants relate to the disparities you identified, and explain your reasoning.

II. Health Issue: In this section of your final project, you will analyze the health issue in focus in the research study. You will draw conclusions about the
health issue through your review of the research study and by conducting outside research on the topic.

A. Describe the risk factors associated with the public health issue. Support your description with evidence from the research study and
your independent research.

B. Describe the mode of transmission of the public health issue. Support your description with evidence from the research study and your
independent research.

C. Determine the incidence and prevalence of the health issue using the data from the research study to perform the appropriate calculations.

D. Determine the mortality rate of the health issue using the data from the research study to perform the appropriate calculations.

E. Interpret the odds ratio to determine the strength of association between the potential sources of exposure and the disease.

F. Using your research and analysis, draw connections between the population and public health issue. Consider where you identified common
elements, what you learned about the public health issue by studying the population, and what you learned about the population by
studying the public health issue.

III. Levels of Prevention: In this section, you will describe the prevention strategies used by the epidemiologists in the research study. You will identify a
strategy for each level of prevention and differentiate between the strategies.

A. Describe a primary prevention strategy represented in the research study, and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the
health issue of the specific population.

B. Describe a secondary prevention strategy represented in the research study, and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the health
issue of the specific population.

C. Describe a tertiary prevention strategy represented in the research study, and explain how it addresses key factors impacting the health
issue of the specific population.

D. Explain how the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies differ in how they address the key factors impacting the health issue
in the research study.

IV. Conclusion: Now that you have analyzed the research study, you will develop a research question to further investigate the specific health issue and
population, select an appropriate research design, and explain the importance of the research to the field of publichealth.

A. Using your analysis of the research study, develop a research question to further investigate the specific public health issue and
impacted population.

B. Determine whether an observational or experimental research design would be more appropriate to investigate your research question. Be
sure to justify your determination.

C. Explain the importance of further research for improving the quality of health in the specific population. What is the potential benefit?
